Astrology highlights for the week of September 11, 2022:

 

00:49 – A reminder that the Moon Mastery™ Program begins this week, on September 12! Celeste's signature program is a tool for self-discovery and manifesting with more ease. It is ideal for all range of students, whether you are a novice or an expert. The class is interactive and taught live on Zoom – join us!

 

01:37 – This week's theme is: Life is Just a Fantasy! Neptune – the planet of fantasy – is a key player this week.

 

01:54 – An interesting Astrology in Action story from last week. Remember when Celeste asked us to look for a woman associated with royalty to make news? The news of Queen Elizabeth’s death came after this podcast was recorded.

 

02:13 – The three big things this week: First, Pallas Athene (Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war) is associated with pattern recognition and creative intelligence. She is the protectress of the state and is linked to the idea of strategy. Liz Truss (Leo Sun, Pisces Moon) is the new British Prime Minister, and was born when this asteroid was stationary. On the day she was voted in, Jupiter (expansion) was conjunct her Pallas Athene.

 

03:33 – Second, the Sun moves from 18 to 25 Virgo this week. On Sunday, the Sun trines Uranus (ease and flow) and on Friday, it opposes Neptune. So, you may get excited about something earlier in the week, and then experience some confusion or disappointment as the week progresses. But the fog will likely lift by the weekend, so hang in there. Do keep in mind, though, that deception is possible. Also, with Mercury also retrograde, this is not a weekend to make a significant agreement or contract with anyone. (And if you do need to make an agreement, just triple-check everything!)

 

07:12 – Third, we welcome a Last Quarter Moon at 24 Gemini on Saturday. There is a mutable T-square present, with the Sun opposite Neptune and square the Moon. As the week goes on, you may start rewinding and see the red flags that you missed, like the Christopher Nolan movie Memento.

 

08:37 – On Sunday, the word of the day is EXCITEMENT. We start the week with the Moon in Aries, and Mercury retrograde in Libra.

 

09:38 – On Monday, the theme is ADJUSTMENT. The Sun in Virgo is quincunx Saturn in Aquarius. How can you let go of that which is holding you back?

 

10:24 – Tuesday's focus is SHARE. The Moon enters Taurus at 4:39am PT, and the Disseminating Moon begins at 6 Taurus at 3:54pm PT. Sharing is caring!

 

11:45 – On Wednesday, the word is NONCONFORMING. The Sun is on fixed star Denebola at 21 Virgo and is associated with uniqueness. How can you see the world through different eyes and think independently?

 

12:20 – On Thursday, the theme is CHIT CHAT. It is a wonderful day for witty repartee. The Moon enters Gemini at 1:16 pm PT.

 

13:06 – On Friday, the emphasis is DREAMY. The Sun in Virgo is opposite Neptune in Pisces.

 

14:05 – On Saturday, the word is LEARNING. The Last Quarter Moon is at 24 Gemini at 2:51pm.
