I believe that the entire universe is in a giant conspiracy for our ultimate well-being, if we can listen to its promptings. All of my work and writings are aimed at helping you listen to this inner guidance.

This week’s astrology forecast:

September 29th – October 5th

Message for the week:

Although there is considerable tension in the world, the only planetary aspect this week is a relatively benign Jupiter square Mercury. Jupiter squares bring too much of a good thing and excessive expectations, which inflates confidence, leading to a tendency to promise more than you can deliver.

The world is volatile, rapidly changing, highly unstable, and crazy making if you focus on it too much. And yet, there is a growing number of people worldwide who have chosen to rise above the turbulence and live their lives with kindness and reverence for all life. Which path will you take? Focus on the news and what is going on in the world, leading to a tight, constricted energy field? Or choose to focus on that which you are grateful for and appreciate, leading to an open and expansive energy field? We all have that choice each and every day.

Still, Mars is in Scorpio and won’t avoid hard truths. We can’t all do boots on the ground to help in the world, but we can all send prayers and healing thoughts.

“A better world has gotta start somewhere. Why not with you and me?” Tom Robbins, from Still Life with Woodpecker. May you rest in peace Tom, and thanks for all your brilliant and uplifting stories.

Monday: A slow start to an otherwise smooth and productive day. The Moon enters resourceful Capricorn and is square to day-dreamy Neptune in the early morning—you may know what you should do, you just don’t want to. The energy picks up as the day gets going with the Moon moving into a stimulating sextile to energetic Mars midday. You may have to compromise a bit to keep the peace in a relationship this evening as the Moon is square to the Sun in Libra.

Tuesday: A good day for throwing yourself into a project or your work, which also favors working with others with the Moon in productive Capricorn in a flowing trine to Venus (relationships) to start the day. You can easily take on too much this evening when the Moon moves into an opposition to excessive Jupiter and square to Mercury—stop and consider before saying “yes” to every opportunity that comes along.

Wednesday: Mercury is square to over-optimistic Jupiter today, fueling a tendency to promise more than you can deliver, or to have unrealistic expectations. The Moon starting the day in Capricorn in a sextile to realistic Saturn will help keep your feet on the ground—plan the heavy lifting part of your day for the morning. You will want to break free of routines and protocol this afternoon as the Moon enters Aquarius aspecting all the outer planets—go with what is compelling.

Thursday: A good day for socializing, brainstorming, and bonding with like-minded souls with the Moon in friendship-oriented Aquarius in a flowing trine with the Sun in Libra—dive into the flow of information with others. The Moon is in a puzzling quincunx to Venus in Virgo, invoking unnecessary questions. Try not to worry about details—this is a day for big thinking.

Friday: A stellar day for learning, teaching, and sharing ideas with others, with the Moon in Aquarius sextile to Chiron and trine to Mercury—words can heal and bridge gaps. The Moon enters emotionally sensitive Pisces this evening, fueling a desire to retreat, but a square to Uranus later tonight creates a restlessness and drive to do something a little bit wild and crazy.

Saturday: A smooth, flowing, and active day with the Moon in “go with the flow” Pisces emboldened by a supportive trine to assertive Mars—a good day for physical activity and exercise. Make a pact with yourself not to worry about things outside of your control to avoid the needless drain from Mercury being quincunx to Chiron.

Sunday: You may experience a lazy start to the day with the Moon in Pisces opposite indulgent Venus. The energy builds by mid-morning when the Moon moves into a flowing trine with opportunity-laden Jupiter in Cancer—ideal for family activities and DIY projects around the house. You may feel like buttoning down this evening as the Moon conjuncts “keep a lid on things” Saturn. The Moon enters Aries conjunct escapist Neptune—a late night action or adventure movie?

May the stars be with you!
