Cosmic Insights – September 18, 2023 September 17, 2023

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of September 18, 2023, begins with the Sun rising in service-oriented Virgo, illuminating an opportunity to go about routines with a simplicity that speaks of silence and devotion for the sacred gift of life.  Whereas, Mercury the director in charge of Virgo energy has just begun moving forward in Virgo and is eager to sit behind the scenes to project creative plans into the future.  

As Virgo energy is often characterized as a hermit, it is an appropriate opportunity to utilize some alone time to quietly contemplate the messages of the shifting energy of the past couple of months before making a decision about the current path to follow in regard to service to oneself and/or others.

Meanwhile, the Moon has just slithered into powerful Scorpio with a potent emotional desire to embody simple ideals related to the cycles of life, and whether personal relationships continue to mirror similar patterns of the past.  The reflection of the past offers a ray of hope to transform unhealthy habits fueled by unconscious negative emotions with conscious responsible choices and behaviors.

The subtle insights that surface from the subconscious during the next day or so are a subtle warning on the emotional radar screen as the moon transverses the deep murky waters of Scorpio that matters of cooperation are on the horizon regarding financial resources, relationships of the heart, and emotional feelings held close to the vest on September 19, as the Moon in Scorpio opposes Jupiter retrograde in Taurus while squaring off with Venus in Leo.  The caveat is that Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio are all fiercely determined to hold their chosen position without giving an inch.  

However, the Sun in Virgo is also opposing Neptune retrograde in Pisces at the same time, so cooperation is required to balance conscious mental and verbal communication with unconscious emotions.  As the Sun is the most powerful entity in the planetary reality, it will hold reign over the rest until they fall in line with a workable solution, unless they want to feel the scorching wrath of the Sun’s heat in critical, get to the point Virgo!

Fortunately, a huge emotional shift of energy occurs in the mid-morning of September 20, as the Moon begins to blaze an emotional trail of optimism about anything in general before Jupiter the CEO of Sagittarius attempts to put out that fire with good intentional caution as it retrogrades in earthy Taurus.  Yet, Jupiter has no luck with its current planetary status, so it engages Saturn retrograde in Pisces which is also ineffective in getting the Moon’s attention with its current position of watered-down authority.  

Now, the Moon in Sag only has to get past the critical perception of Mercury in Virgo’s no-nonsense attitude about getting something accomplished before meeting up with Mars in Libra and Venus in Leo for an emotional adventure of fun, conversation, and mischief!

On the afternoon of September 22, the lunar landscape changes significantly as the Moon moves into authoritative business-oriented Capricorn, so it would be wise to leave after that fun meeting instead of going back to work.  Otherwise, the weekend may become a working weekend with last-minute business meetings and conference calls to cover what wasn’t covered during the recent Moon in Sagittarius’s laid-back party attitude!

Fortunately, the Moon in Capricorn has the support of Pluto retrograde in Capricorn, Jupiter, and Uranus retrograde in Taurus, Saturn retrograde in Pisces, and the Sun and Mercury in Virgo to tackle the list of priorities with well-thought-out ideas, information, and details to get it done quickly and efficiently with precision and power!

In the early hours of September 23, the Sun enters politically correct and charming Libra as it announces the Autumn Equinox and the full phase of the current solar year.  Thus, the celestial wheel of the year has reached the halfway point and the second harvest of intentions that were chosen at the recent Spring Equinox.  As a result, the next forty-five days will be a demonstration of the flowering of those intentions as a result of the quality of the seeds chosen and the care given to them up to this point.  The key is there is still time to salvage the harvest of the intentions if they have not yielded an anticipated bountiful crop to enjoy and share.  If the harvest is plentiful, there is evidence that seed thoughts, intentions, and caring actions were in alignment, so take good Virgo notes so the process can be repeated and expanded!
