This might just be the best week in September. But it’s all about balancing the good vibes with a little bit of grit. You’ve got Mercury coming home (again), Venus and Jupiter handing out cosmic candy, and Mars reminding you that not every situation requires a fight. We know that life’s not perfect—it often feels really far from it—but it sure can be fun if you let it.
Tbh—and not to fear-monger here, but—you’re going to need this week of supportive sweetness. Because next week brings a change in season from Virgo to Libra, as well as some tension from Venus, but it also brings the beginning of eclipse season with the Pisces Lunar Eclipse. I’m not going to go into depth about those two shifts (save that for next week’s forecast), buuut I do bring them up so that you have an idea of what’s on the horizon.
Because if you’re like me (i.e.: anxiety-prone with ADHD hyperfocus that make it easy to lose sight of…well, life), knowing what’s ahead might help you savor / work with what’s going on now. The future can ground you in the present. (It can also cause you to worry about the future, but I don’t want you to do that; I do that enough for the both of us.) There’s plenty to look forward to with Venus and Jupiter helping you live your best lives, even while Mars stirs up drama towards the week’s end. But don’t worry! If you play your cards right, you’ll come out smelling like roses. 🌹 Or at least, like Venus-approved perfume.
Anyway, that’s the gist of this week. Here’s the actual astrology:
September 9th: Mercury enters Virgo (again)
September 11th: Mercury in Virgo sextile Mars in Cancer, 3°
September 13th: Sun in Virgo squares Jupiter in Gemini, 20°
September 14th: Venus in Libra trine jupiter in Gemini, 20°
September 15th: Mars in Cancer squares the Nodes, 6°
🌟 Sept. 9 — Mercury enters Virgo
Welcome back to the brainiac zone. This is the second time this year Mercury has entered Virgo, but it’s no less meaningful. Mercury loves being in Virgo (because Mercury is both at home, and highly functioning in Virgo), so get ready to organize your life like a professional. It’s time to fact-check, analyze, and micromanage the heck out of everything—but don’t go full-on perfectionist. This is a great time for lists, spreadsheets, and solving all problems that may have been stymied (or created) by Mercury Rx…

🧠 Sept. 11 – Mercury sextiles Mars
Your mind is sharper than a freshly honed sword today, which means any challenge that requires mental gymnastics is yours to conquer. From decoding cryptic texts (yes, even that one) to knocking out your to-do list with laser-like precision, you’ve got the energy to crack the code on whatever’s bugging you. Use today to tackle a tough convo or decision you’ve been avoiding. Mercury and Mars are on your side, helping you slice through any BS and get to the point. Just make sure to bring the right amount of tact—Mars can be blunt, and you don’t want to hurt any feelings…
🔭 Sept. 12 – The Sun squares Jupiter
It’s one of those days where you feel like a superhero, but also like you might accidentally trip over your cape. The Sun and Jupiter are in a cosmic headbutt and you’re caught in the middle. Step back and check your ego. Sure, you want to conquer the world (who doesn’t?), but balance is key. Make time to reflect on your big dreams, but don’t forget to celebrate the small wins too. Basically, avoid the “all or nothing” mindset. Growth happens in stages, not in a single leap…
💘 Sept. 14: Venus trines Jupiter
I LOVE THIS DAY. Not only because my novel, Jupiter Returns, is up for presale (more on that below), but also because it is just wonderful, bountiful, sweet astrology. Venus and Jupiter are in a cosmic lovefest, and they want you to indulge. Expect everything to feel more magical, more beautiful, and a lot more fun. Whether it’s relationships, creative projects, or just eating a bomb meal—today is all about pleasure. So, do something you love today—something that makes you feel joyful and free. Create art, enjoy art, plan a dreamy date night, or treat yourself to a mini getaway (even if it’s just in your mind)...
I’ll have your horoscopes for this AUSPICIOUS transit on Wednesday. In the meantime, here are YOUR horoscopes for Venus in Libra & Jupiter in Gemini.
🔲 Sept. 15 – Mars squares the Lunar Nodes
Mars in Cancer is all huffed up and ready to rumble, but guess what? Charging ahead without thinking won’t get you anywhere. The lunar nodes are here to remind you that patience and tact are better strategies than bulldozing through your problems. So, take a beat before you act. If you’re feeling defensive or frustrated (and you might), pause and ask yourself, “Is this the best way forward?” Mars loves to charge, but today’s not the day for reckless action. Use the tension to figure out where you need to soften your approach and find a middle ground…
