The Sun is at the threshold of Virgo, standing at 27 degrees on September 20 and crossing into Libra by September 24. This is the Autumn Equinox week—the moment when day and night balance, when we shift from the detailed work of sorting and refining into the relational work of weighing and choosing. The Moon begins in Capricorn with a First Quarter charge, then sweeps through Aquarius and arrives at Pisces as a Full Moon on September 25. We are moving from the practical and grounded into the visionary and diffuse. Mercury is moving through Libra, slowing our speech and making us more careful about how we communicate. Venus sits in Scorpio, deepening our emotional commitments and pulling us toward what matters underneath the surface.
This is a week of culmination and beginning wrapped together. The Full Moon in Pisces on September 25 will illuminate something you have been building toward since the Spring—a project, a relationship, an internal shift. But before we arrive there, we move through days of preparation, of getting clear about what we actually want before the light hits it. Mars remains in Cancer, stirring up protective instincts and emotional defensiveness. Saturn continues its slow work in Aries, asking each of us where we are willing to take a real risk. The week moves from sorting to revelation.
