As Virgo Season continues to ground and anchor each of us, this week Mercury too joins the earth sign of Virgo, bringing its energy into our minds. It’s a week of both expansion and contraction as the Sun dances with Saturn and Jupiter in our skies.
Sun square Saturn: September 8
Saturn in Astrology represents responsibility, wisdom, boundaries, and mastery. It is a planet that asks reliability, resilience, commitment, and discipline from each of us. The Sun is our centre. It is the evolution of who we are and who we are becoming. It is the spark of Spirit alive within each of us, expressing into this world as the individual of you.
This week on September 8, 2024, the Sun and Saturn sit directly opposite one another in our cosmos – highlighting differences, contradictions, opposite energies – yet within this, inviting us to find the space where these opposites become one within us.
As the Sun continues to travel through Virgo we are invited to ground, anchor ourselves into our bodies, routines, the practicalities of our days that support and nourish us. And as Saturn travels through Pisces, where it has been since 2023 and will continue until 2025, it invites discipline into our creativity and spiritual practice, responsibility for the building of our dreams and imaginations, and the practice of compassionate boundaries in a way that support both ourselves, and others.
While Virgo focuses on the tangible, Pisces lives in the intangible. This opposition however, reminds us that these seemingly separate worlds live on one continuous line of expression. They are partners, informing one another, building and moving together.
On this day, allow yourself to explore themes of practicality, responsibility, inspiration, mastery, and commitment. And how the intangible dreams and ideas that call forth cannot become anything without devoted and consistent tangible action. While oppositions can represent discomfort – they don’t need to. How do you feel sitting with seemingly opposing ideas?
Mercury enters Virgo: September 9
Before its recent retrograde, Mercury was in Virgo from July 25 to August 15 2024, and this week it makes its re-entrance on 9 September 2024, where it will remain until September 26, 2024.
The Sun is already travelling through Virgo bringing earth and body wisdom, organisation and refinement. As Mercury joins this domain of the cosmos, the energy of Virgo becomes concentrated in our minds, the way we think, learn, perceive, process, and communicate.
As Mercury moves through Virgo we are invited to lean into practical thinking, organised planning and visioning, and a clearing and refining of the mind. We are invited to observe ourselves and the world around us with an adaptable way of thinking and perceiving, allowing things to shift and reveal more of themselves to us. And we are invited to tend to productive day-to-day matters, cleaning and organising ourselves and our lives.
Sun square Jupiter: September 12
The Sun has moved away from its connection with Saturn and now enters a conversation with our expander of the cosmos, Jupiter. This week on September 12, 2024, the Sun in Virgo comes into a square with Jupiter in Gemini.
Jupiter is a seeker. It is wisdom, faith, growth and magnification. It is a planet that looks to the future, so that it may become who it needs to be to step into that future.
On this day it may feel as if Jupiter is inviting us to step forward, claim possibilities for ourselves and magnify the growth that is always happening beneath the surface. Jupiter is inviting us to hope, hold faith and trust in ourselves and the unfolding of our journey, and to say yes to the expansion that this planet represents.
Yet with the energy of a square present, our real opportunity is in noticing first the invitations calling us forward, and then feeling our response, and all that lives within us that reacts to this invitation. Do we feel safe enough to lean into this growth? Are there patterns, beliefs, or fears alive within that arise in response to it? What is ‘in the way’ is the way on this day. Allow yourself to curiously explore what arises – for they are doorways into your Jupiterian growth and gifts.
Weekly Astrology: September 8 to 14 2024
There is a grounded energy to this week. A practicality, organising, and planning energy humming beneath the surface. And it is through exploring our relationship with these themes that energy flows.
It’s a week for organising your mind, space, habits and life. It is a week to tend to your dreams and imaginations in a way that is empowering, committed, and planted in responsibility and compassionate self-discipline. And it is a week that invites a mirror to observe who we are becoming, and what arises within us in response to that – tending to what appears with love, presence, and understanding.
