Astrology for Sunday, 8 September 2019:

The Moon conjoins Saturn in Capricorn just as Mars in Virgo is approaching its trine to Saturn. Mars trine Saturn feels like determination and drive, directing the assertive charge of Mars into the patience and persistence of Saturn. With both in earth signs, you might ask yourself: what am I building? What are the material results of my efforts? Hours later, the Sun will perfect its square to Jupiter. This aspect illuminates what’s possible, and maybe also pushes us toward our own growth. Both are in mutable signs, so coming to consciousness about what else might be possible may require you to change and adapt to what is coming into view. As the Moon makes a trine to the Sun, it is a reminder that we aren’t alone. The Moon in Capricorn is technically in its detriment or exile, displaced from the resources of its home. This trine from the Sun as the Moon pushes through its quarter phase gives us the radiant support of the life-giving star. Listen for insights from beyond ordinary reality as the Moon moves through its sextile to Neptune in Pisces. Finally, Mercury in Virgo completes its trine to Pluto in Capricorn exactly as the Moon conjoins Pluto. As fast-moving Moon and Mercury both connect with the long, slow, transformative processes of Pluto, we have an opportunity to check in with where we are in this journey through our underworlds. Feel into your body, maybe take some time to journal: what beneath the surface is changing? Where do you still need to let go in order for transformation to take place?
