The Moon is briefly VOC in Gemini overnight, from 1:39 AM PDT until 7:30 AM PDT, following a trine to Venus. The Moon's arrival in Cancer brings a somewhat surprising 'jolt' of inspiration under the Moon-Neptune square. A Sun-Saturn quincunx encourages us to continue to embrace humility, helping us to maintain willingness and adaptability in order to keep gathering new insights. Any desire for freedom or independence will bring challenges. There is an increased desire for stability. Disruptions to that stability are especially unwelcome. We may feel a strong inclination to 'tug on the leash' — resist any sort of control. Nonetheless, adapting to some reasonable structure or restraint will actually provide rewards.


Weekly Summary

AUGUST 30 - SEPTEMBER 5

"So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time"
— The Eagles - Take It To The Limit
Glenn Frey, Don Henley & Randy Meisner

There's plenty of chaotic unpredictability left in this week's atmosphere following last week's Pisces Eclipse Full Moon (9:18 PM PDT 4° Pisces/Virgo), which was in a tight square to Uranus in Gemini. Nonetheless, there is also plenty of support to productively engage with the amped up energy through enhanced intellectual capacity and the clever integration of enthusiasm and self-control. Jupiter reaches a trine to Saturn from Leo to Aries, which suggests a powerful balance between inspiration and disciplined 'follow through'. Adding to the intensity of the Jupiter-Saturn trine is the injection of martian aggressiveness through a Mars-Saturn square that coincides with the Jupiter-Saturn trine. With Mars in Cancer ruling Saturn in Aries, the Mars-Saturn square encourages us to 'take it to the limit' — push our capacity to the edge in order to gain some kind of advantage. We could also see a self-interested desire to acquire perhaps just a little bit more than our 'fair share'. There are dangerous temptations to play games with these powerful energies. Mercury incorporates intellectual excitement into the environment through a sextile to Mars and a quincunx to Saturn. But Mercury's involvement also suggests that we may be easily tempted into using clever tricks that may — or may not — be honorable or responsible. Balance and self-control are crucial to 'holding the reigns' and staying productive. The Mars-Saturn square certainly seems to make the notion of 'maintaining control' seem uncomfortable — perhaps even insulting. Nonetheless, 'the search is on' to find new angles, new information, and to make new plans that incorporate the broadly balanced support offered by the Jupiter-Saturn trine. The main challenge is overcoming the rebellious, nervous energy which is both inspiring and distracting. As the Moon wanes in light, there are at least a few 'glimmers' of a more altruistic approach which offers encouraging signs of cooperation. Next Thursday's Virgo New Moon (8:26 PM PDT 18° Virgo) will offer a remarkable dose of humility that is already beginning to formulate as we move through the week. With the Sun and Mercury in Virgo and Venus in Libra, we are offered important messages telling us that there is always more to know and understand through our interactions with others. Those interactions can help us to recognize what it is that we need to understand 'next' in our learning process — staying connected to others and staying in the moment while resisting the urge to get ahead of ourselves. We may feel the need to separate ourselves from others in order to protect our freedom. However, when we can find the willingness — the humility — to listen to others without harsh judgement or fear, we will find that there are opportunities for new understanding that we might not have expected.

There is a strong desire to take action but numerous challenges to contend with on Sunday when we try to move ahead. Our intellect is challenged and our patience is 'thin'. We're inclined to push our capacity to the edge on Monday in order to gain some kind of advantage or acquire perhaps just a little bit more than our 'fair share'. There are dangerous temptations to play games with the energy by using clever tricks that may or may not be honorable or responsible. Tuesday's overnight environment is fraught with challenges and pitfalls that seem to stir our minds and produce some significant tensions to contend with. There are at least 'glimmers' of a somewhat altruistic approach. There is most likely to be a 'stuck' feeling permeating most of Wednesday's atmosphere — subtle discomforts that don't easily yield to soothing. Nonetheless, there are also important opportunities for regaining our balance. Thursday's power may either seem quite obvious or rather understated. The main challenge is controlling the nervous energy that is both inspiring and distracting. There is a strong feeling of freedom on Friday that requires responsibility in order to take advantage of the intellectual insights. Progress may seem rather slow. There is an increased desire for stability on Saturday. Disruptions to that stability are especially unwelcome but we may feel a strong inclination to 'tug on the leash' — resist any sort of control.

Sunday September 06, 2026

The Moon's action in Cancer today is quite activating — a square to Saturn (5:54 AM PDT) and a sextile to the Sun (6:59 AM PDT) early this morning, and a conjunction with Mars (12:05 PM PDT) this afternoon. The Moon will go on the sextile to Mercury by midnight tonight. These connections are stirring our emotions but also suggest some extra opportunities to blend that emotion into our intellectual understanding and gain important intuitive insights. However, we may also be prone to increased protectiveness, with a strong desire to define and defend the boundaries that we see as necessary for our individual safety. Some may feel especially reclusive, intent on following through on some kind of personal initiative without external disruptions.


Weekly Summary

SEPTEMBER 6 - SEPTEMBER 12

"The road must be trod, but it will be very hard. And neither strength nor wisdom will carry us far upon it. This quest may be attempted by the weak with as much hope as the strong. Yet it is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: Small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere."
— J.R.R. Tolkien

The Jupiter-Saturn trine begins to wane this week but the connection continues to provide a remarkable level of productive balance. Jupiter and Saturn will make two more exact trines from Leo to Aries next year — April 3, 2027 and July 11, 2027 — which keeps the connection 'in play' for almost a year. This Thursday's Virgo New Moon (8:26 PM PDT 18° Virgo), in a sextile to Mars in Cancer, helps to soothe the tensions from last week's Mars-Saturn square and allows us to begin to integrate the more beneficial and productive energies flowing from Jupiter's trine to Saturn. The New Moon's sextile to Mars in Cancer shifts our focus from a defensive focus on 'boundaries' and 'who gets what' towards an incredibly beneficial and generous attention to nurturing and protection. We are offered a surge of nurturing, 'service-oriented' humility in line with what might be seen as the 'best' of Virgo's message. Nonetheless, there are several other important shifts that occurs at the New Moon — Venus arrives in Scorpio, Mercury arrives in Libra, and Uranus stations retrograde — that may certainly suggest that there a few 'flies in the ointment' that will need to be addressed as we begin the new lunar cycle. Venus is not particularly happy in Scorpio and the forming square to Pluto in Aquarius suggests a demanding intensity of emotions that aren't easily expressed. Mercury's rulership of the Virgo New Moon from Libra brings an inclination towards judgemental perfectionism, rather than broad acceptance. As well, Mercury will make some 'tricky' connections to 'the outers' at the end of this week and the beginning of next week. Mercury makes an opposition to Neptune and trine to Pluto on Saturday that leaves us somewhat vulnerable to significant confusion, distraction, or deception. We can easily be left struggling to maintain our humility and a methodical pace, tempted to rely instead on faulty information and overly optimistic assessments that don't actually fit the 'facts on the ground'. Also, Mercury's trine to the stationary Uranus at the beginning of next week will produce plenty of excitement and intellectual stimulation but offer little or no clear focus, suggesting — at best — too many ideas that are 'ahead of their time' that splinter our focus and challenge our ability to follow through on anything. Nonetheless, the inspiring injection of humility and generosity that is offered by this week's New Moon creates a growing sense of hope and offers important help to encourage us to stay grounded and 'on task'. This week's Virgo New Moon begins a 'process-driven' lunar cycle that will reward subtle, incremental, methodical progress.

We may also be prone to increased protectiveness on Sunday, with a strong desire to define and defend the boundaries that we see as necessary for our individual safety. Some may feel especially reclusive, intent on following through on some kind of personal initiative without external disruptions. Monday's energy helps us to get a handle on the broadly shifting landscape, offering us an impressive capacity to 'ride the waves of change' in an effective manner. The atmosphere is quite generous and productive. We're seeking some kind of approval or acknowledgement on Tuesday. Progress for the sake of progress seems meaningless if we don't gain accolades for our accomplishments — or so it seems. There is a sudden resurgence of highly intellectual activity and insight on Wednesday, leading us to discover new layers of humility. We gain an opportunity to close out some intensely ego-driven initiatives and begin to see a way to build productive, 'service oriented' connections to others. The environment shifts dramatically on Thursday. There is an inspiring injection of humility and generosity that is offered that is more than likely to produce a growing sense of hope. Our minds are stirred on Friday but it is difficult to 'connect the dots'. We need patience and a methodical attention to detail. We seem to find ourselves overly reliant on input from others on Saturday that may or may not provide us with a productive sense of direction. It is important to maintain a heightened awareness of any weakness or uncertainty and not allow ourselves to be goaded into unwise actions that seem to carry a false imperative.

Monday September 07, 2026

The Moon in Cancer squares Venus in Libra early this morning (6:39 AM PDT) and then goes briefly VOC until arriving in Leo by 9:49 AM PDT. This seems to represent a 'loosening' of our protective boundaries — we become more inclined to reach out to others as the day progresses. The Leo Moon's connections to Neptune (in Aries), Uranus (in Gemini), and Pluto (in Aquarius) activates the 'hot zone' that has been stirring up significant challenges and changes for most of the year. However, today's energy helps us to find some 'handles' that we can take hold of, offering us an impressive capacity to 'ride the waves of change' in an effective manner. Today's atmosphere is quite generous and productive.
