Astrology highlights for the week of September 18, 2022:

 

00:49 – This week's theme is: Reversal of Fortune! Celeste kicks off the podcast with a look back and how this Mercury retrograde (Rx) has been in the news (the death of Queen Elizabeth, and Ukraine taking back land in the war). The book Celeste mentions is Circe by Madeline Miller.

 

05:18 – The three big things this week: First, Mercury Rx in Libra opposes Jupiter in Aries 3 times; we are seeing the theme play out (Sep 2, Sep 18 and Oct 12). Jupiter magnifies, and this Mercury opposition can be around putting big plans into motion, which can become a reality or fail due to lack of details. There is a cardinal T-square (2 planets opposite and squaring 1), and the square here is to the asteroid of strategy, Pallas Athene, which can be action-oriented and activating. Celeste discusses how this might play out in the news.

 

10:11 – Second, there will be a Balsamic Moon phase from Wednesday to Sunday, which occurs right before the New Moon. Each moon phase is about 3.5 days. The Moon is moving slowly; its average speed is 11 – 15 degrees daily. It is an excellent time to slow down and listen to your inner voice.

 

11:56 – Third, Libra season begins on Thursday, ushering in the Equinox! Relationships are in focus; this is a good time to find balance and harmony and enjoy it. Folks with strong Libra can be great diplomats and lawyers, but on the shadow side, struggle with indecisiveness and going along to get along.

 

14:40 – On Sunday, the word of the day is BONKERS. The Moon enters Cancer at 12:59 am PT. Try not to get swept away by the emotional energy. Count to 5 before reacting.

 

19:23 – On Monday, the theme is SURPRISE. You could have a meet-cute.

 

21:32 – Tuesday's focus is VOW. The Moon enters Leo at 1:37 pm PT. Show leadership.

 

23:22 – On Wednesday, the word is MEMORIES. The Moon enters its balsamic phase at 14 Leo at 5:33 pm PT. The key to the path forward may come from the past.

 

24:46 – On Thursday, the theme is DIPLOMACY. Seek win-win solutions. Get quiet and stay present for great ideas. The Sun enters Libra at 6:03 pm PT. Mercury Cazimi at 0 Libra 11:49 pm PT on a world point.

 

27:50 – On Friday, the emphasis is REVISIT. Put the finishing touches on projects already in motion. The Moon enters Virgo at 12:53 am PT. Mercury reenters Virgo at 5:04 am PT. 

 

28:45 – On Saturday, the word is ROSEY. Take time to enjoy art, nature and/or beauty.
