Starcodes horoscopes for September 8 - 14, 2017
by Heather Roan Robbins
It’s full steam ahead; just don’t run into a brick wall. For the first time since early August the stars are giving us a green light to forge ahead. Over the next week we can make clear assessments and follow with solid plans with Mercury moving forward and about to enter its own sign of Virgo, while practical Saturn, change-producing Uranus and diplomatic Venus all forming a constructive, creative, grand trine in air signs.
But we are not the only things picking up momentum. Storms, tectonic plate shifts, fires, politics, all build up speed and force. Most ever event since the recent Solar New Moon-Eclipse in dramatic Leo has felt over the top, beyond operatic. The sun has also been unusually reactive, a coronal mass ejection sent an intense X-9 class toward earth, and an active sun cranks up the volume on the astrological aspects, can leave us feeling fried, and is synchronous with an exacerbated pace of history.
We’ll feel this particularly this weekend as Mercury lingers over the degree of the recent solar eclipse, the Sun trines Pluto, urgent life matters call our attention. The stars also call us to revisit, and work on problems that came up July 25 and September 1, and may have intensified around the August 21 Solar eclipse.
The momentum starts to pick up on Friday, and so does a rebellious tumult and a rush to get going, under an impatient, brave, if brittle Aries moon. The weekend brings a new practicality as Mercury enters Virgo and the Moon enters Taurus, both pragmatic earth signs. We’re prompted to look at the story of our summer, notice what we had to let go, what we learned, and what new karmic lessons we feel coming down the pike. And also, work on our health, it is a good time to look at our life habits and make sure they are in line with what we want out of our life.
As mental Mercury conjuncts, assertive Mars this next week they sharpen our critical skills, and allow us see what the problem is. This conjunction, along with a brave Aries Moon on Friday and Saturday, increase our ability to deal with emergencies, but can make us crave that level of intensity, it will be hard to do anything but focus on the worlds disasters, and hopefully, do something to help. We just need to keep the heart open instead of getting irritable with one another in the process. Storm stay likely, and strong, as Mercury is connected with wind and Mars with action, whether over water or fires. Transportation stays fraught with adventure and difficulties, even though Mercury is direct, until Mercury pulls away from Mars towards the end of the week.
Our individual momentum can also build up the speed, but hopefully not the destruction, of the coming hurricanes. Once we get going. A few difficulties can get in our way unless we develop strong goals and stay on target, either we can be stuck in inertia, so distracted by the world’s drama that we can’t concentrate. Some will try to get a move on with impatient anger or sheer gumption, but these approaches give us less control; we can over shoot, step on toes or drive straight into a wall. Let’s keep our heart open and put one foot in front of the other. Like priming a pump, once we get the flow going, it will be easy to keep it moving.
Early next week the mood is nervy, critical but communicative. We can feel spread too thin if our minds run everywhere. Listen to anxious thoughts, but don’t let them run the show. Towards the end of the week a new seriousness asks us to take a more mature approach, knuckle down and do the work as the Sun squares Saturn.
All times are MDT
Friday, September 8: Get a move on, just watch where you go. We’re feeling pushy under a fierce Moon in Aries, urgent, but let’s not push others, nor be pushed, into an unwanted place. Think about the consequences of words; people feel both a rough urgency to move and communicate, with a thin-skinned sensitivity; we can dish it out, but can’t take it. Reach out this morning as the Moon trines sociable Venus. Work around a pricklier guardedness at noon; let discouragement wash through and leave. Momentum builds, for good or ill, as the day progresses. Communication in all things is essential.
