Weekly Astrology Forecast: September 7 - September 13, 2020
/Major themes for this week:
Practice self-control: If you’ve been feeling extra frustrated or impulsive lately, you’re probably feeling the beginning stages of Mars’s nine-week Retrograde transit in Aries. With Mars, the planet of behaviors (action) stationing Retrograde from September 9 until November 13, 2020, Mars is asking you to become more aware of how you assert your energy and why. Because Mars is retrograde, there is an increased emphasis on healing unhealthy habits and behaviors from your past. Behavioral issues such as codependency, addiction, procrastination, low self-esteem, etc. will be heavily addressed. As a cardinal fire sign, Aries’s “I’ll do it myself” energy does not enjoy feeling slowed down or blocked out. When feeling restless or easily angered, take a deep breath, and get in touch with your subtle body (energy centers). Make sure you are in control (aware) of how you are sharing or asserting your desires. Remind yourself that for the next nine weeks, the universe is directly asking you not to force. Do not allow your surroundings, relationships, and inner fears/phobias to deny you from being the undeniable power source that you are. If anything, let this transit be a reminder of how magical you are. How independent and capable you are. How diplomatic and innovative you can be. What you can accomplish when you take responsibility for your actions and adjust accordingly.
Get your thoughts on paper: After last week’s big Full Moon in the final sign of Pisces, this week’s vibration should feel more balanced and peaceful. If not, you feel a strong sense of hope and faith that whatever shall be is effortlessly coming together. To affirm some of your visualizations and dreams from last week’s Full Moon, the Last Quarter Moon in Gemini on September 10 asks you to get them out of your head and put them on paper. As a talkative air sign, Gemini enjoys expressing through all forms of language, but particularly the written and spoken word. If you are interested in writing or write heavily for your job, this is the best time to push publish on final edits or get serious about the outline for your next body of work. Whatever the case, take advantage of this week’s thoughtful and detail-oriented vibes. They won’t be around long.
Simplify: Since May 14, 2020, Jupiter, the planet of growth, fortune, and opportunity has been retrograde in the tenth sign of Capricorn. During this transit, you’ve seen Jupiter’s slow-moving effects touch every area of your shared life. From foreign travel bans to business and economic delays to social revolutions, Jupiter retrograde has brought it all. However, after four months of introspection and self-growth, you are ready to take the lessons of the lucky planet in persevering Capricorn and integrate them into your life. On September 12, 2020, Jupiter will complete its Retrograde transit in Capricorn and stay there until it enters Aquarius on December 19. For the next three months, focus on simplifying your long-term goals. Break them down into bite-size pieces that you can accomplish one by one. Remember that Capricorn, in its light, is a strong, mature, and methodical earth sign. It builds its empire silently over time.

Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Air signs, this week’s energy, reminds you that destiny is not a destination; it is a journey, a never-ending path of combined experiences that shape who you are from the inside out. With Mars stationing retrograde, you can feel off track or a little distracted. Some may be feeling discarded or left behind. On the bright side, this energy spotlights the parts of your personality that are resilient, that can overcome any test of time. So instead of going back and forth about a recent decision you made, trust your gut. Be honest with yourself and where you may be overreacting.
Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Earth Signs, this week’s energy reminds you that the start of any successful venture always begins with a firm foundation, so pay extra attention to your baseline chakras, the sacral, solar plexus, and especially the root. If feeling uninspired, reach out to a business partner or close friend. If you’ve been slacking off on your journaling, meditation, or daily walks, this week says get back on track. As much as you think that spending five minutes every morning in gratitude doesn’t affect your mood, try doing it for five days straight and see how energized and happy you feel.
Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Fire Signs, this week’s energies, encourage you to spend one final thought worrying about your troubling past and then give it up to the universe to transmute and alchemize for good. No matter what happened last week, last month, or last year, it’s over now. It is no longer your battle to fight. For others, this week’s energies spotlight your ability to attract new streams of passive income and wealth. The problem is you are overcommitting, and this negatively influences the quality of your work. Instead of being a martyr, be honest about your oversight. Spend time asking yourself the tough questions to see which path is best suited for you at this time. You don’t have to be everywhere at once.
Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Water Signs, this week’s energy, brings positive changes to how you fulfill your desires. With Mars’s retrograde station encouraging you to be more assertive and intentional about how you manifest your dreams, spend some time giving thanks for the small changes in your life that assure you you are on the right path. For others, this week’s energies are a reminder that the answer or validation you need to make a big decision can only come from you. If asking the universe should you take the leap of faith and invest in a passion project, the answer is yes, but move slowly. You can’t rush this process.
