Starcodes week of September 13-19, 2024
Let this Friday the 13th bring luck; Friday is a Venusian day, and right now Venus is in her own friendly, aesthetic sign of Libra. A kind and congenial moment can ease the day, so stop and see beauty in the tints of early fall leaves, notice a far horizon or the way paint chipping off a door reveals interesting color layers. Share a kind or funny moment with those nearby.
These aesthetic and heart-felt moments can help us deal with an ambient edginess and the underlying puzzle of responsibilities with the Sun and Mercury now in in nervy Virgo. Serious thoughts and potentially heavy decisions lean on us as a competence-inducing Capricorn Moon conjuncts Pluto and ask us both what we’ve missed and what is still on our bucket list.
The mood grows more sociable and upbeat over the weekend as the collaborative Aquarius Moon forms a grand trine with Venus and Jupiter in communicative, exploratory air signs. This trine is great for gatherings and feeling fed by our community while running errands or diving into creative festivals and political stumping. Look for interesting new personal connections in the mix.
Early next week our hearts grow tender and spill over as the Moon waxes full in sensitive Pisces. A lunar eclipse on Tuesday highlights any tension we feel between our vulnerabilities and the workaday world. Some inner emotional truth could be revealed. Most of it will just feel it as an emotional up-swelling or feel deeply aware of what makes us vulnerable. A few, where the charts are directly affected- with planets around 25° of mutable signs- may feel called to make some changes to feel more secure.
The week ends on a more decisive and active note as the Moon enters fierce, excitable Aries and the Sun trines change-inducing Uranus. Most of us will just feel a surge of energy, and a desire to explore some new possibilities. Those who felt really vulnerable under the full moon could be tempted to take drastic measures. Let’s act thoughtfully, rather than impulsively, on any recent revelations.
Friday, September 13: A competent and decisive grand trine formed by the Sun, Moon, and Uranus all in pragmatic earth signs can feel both strengthening and heavy, it can push us to make clear decisions and map a path forward. Notice a fork in the road where one opportunity needs to be released to embrace another. Don’t jump to conclusions- but do act on real inspiration- if it visits- and make it so. People may need to talk over their work or other serious issues tonight– or try to party hard to forget the grind. A heavy or bittersweet mood, stimulated by the Moon-Pluto conjunction just past midnight, can clear by morning; let it inspire compassion both for oneself and others.
Moon sextile Saturn 12:53 AM. Moon square Venus 5:30 AM, Moon trine Sun 11:01 AM, Moon trine Uranus 9:04 PM, Moon sextile Neptune 11:39 PM.
Saturday, September 14: Overnight challenging dreams or worried minds could take a while to shake off this morning, but then the day opens up. Find out what’s going on in the county, reach out and engage lightening moments and healing connections. Take a break from the working mindset and engage the community as the as Venus trines Jupiter under a sociable Aquarius Moon. Strike up conversations and meet new allies and connections but be alive to nuance as not everybody is on the same page.
Moon conjunct Pluto 1:34 AM, Moon enters Aquarius 1:53 AM, Sun quincunx Chiron 2:22 PM, Venus trine Jupiter 11:34 PM.
Sunday, September 15: The Aquarius Moon forms a grand trine with Jupiter and Venus- all in air signs– and brings a time to talk about shared values, what we love, and how to make our life more fair, equitable, and beautiful. People are not interested in confrontation today, though they will go there if pushed (Aquarius is a stubborn fixed sign), but are interested in what soothes the heart. If we get edgier as the moon squares Uranus towards midnight, rather than grumble, it’ll be more productive to acknowledge the concerns and just go to sleep.
Moon trine Jupiter 12:05 PM, Moon trine Venus 1:09 PM, Moon square Uranus 11:03 PM.
Monday, September 16: We can be painfully aware of any tension between what work we have to do, and where our heart wants to be. It will be easy to be productive where our emotions are also respected, and our feelings are safe. Elsewhere, we’ll be less forgiving if that abrasion hurts our tenderness points out what needs change or repair as Venus opposes Chiron. Tend to health, our bodies can resonate with our feelings. Honor emotions and let them flow; but let that river clear before acting on any sudden decisions as the sensitive Pisces Moon trines Mars.
Moon enters Pisces 3:38 AM, Moon trine Mars 3:09 PM, Venus opposed Chiron 3:28 PM.
Tuesday, September 17: Our sensitivities are our superpower under this full Harvest Moon in Pisces, just like the fairytale of the princess who felt a pea under a pile of mattresses. Be sensitive to beauty, to subtleties and healing path forward, not just to the slings and arrows of an outrageous world. A partial lunar eclipse tonight at 8:34 PM can call for release and can reveal an emotional truth. We don’t have to apologize for sensitivities, nor defend them with an army, but instead tap into the strength of the earth beneath us and feel held.
Moon opposed Mercury 10:55 AM, Moon conjunct Saturn 4:10 AM, Moon square Jupiter 12:30 PM, Moon opposed the Sun and is eclipsed at 8:34 PM, Moon sextile Uranus 10:53 PM.
Wednesday, September 18: We could feel irritable, wanting action but not knowing where to go. Our recent discomfort can inspire us just be difficult, or to improve minor things in our life or attempt to shift our world to bring it more in line with our truth as the Moon enters active Aries and squares Mars while thoughtful Mercury opposes Saturn. Rein in over-active defense systems and be cautious around direct confrontations with systems and people who think they are in authority. Use that rigorous-thinking Mercury-Saturn opposition, add some inspiration, and put this energy to good use.
Moon conjunct Neptune 10:10 AM, Mercury opposed Saturn 2:50 AM, Moon sextile Pluto 3:02 AM, Moon enters Aries 3:23 AM, Moon squares Mars 4:27 PM.
Thursday, September 19: Here we realize maybe it’s us that needs to change- along with the world around us- as the Sun trines Uranus under an impulsive Aries Moon. Let’s assess where our attitude, a potential chip on our shoulder or passive – aggressive foot-dragging, has been counterproductive and add a drop of maturity to deal with this more directly. Let’s take responsibility for our contribution to the present situation, take responsibility for our health and well-being.
Sun trine Uranus 8:04 AM, Moon sextile Jupiter 12:11 PM, Moon opposed Venus 9:13 PM.
