September 20 - 26: CHAIN REACTION

We are seeing the Moon waxing this week, starting in the sign of Sagittarius on Sunday, moving past Rahu mid-week, and culminating with the full Moon in Pisces on Saturday, September 26. 

Other than the Moon, Mercury is the only other planet shifting this week, moving out of Virgo where Saturn was slowing him down and providing structure. On Friday, Mercury slides into Libra, joining Venus.

Libra is a focal point this week, with both of the rajas planets, Mercury and Venus joining up to get things moving. Not only is that combination lively and inspiring, those planets and the whole sign of Libra are receiving the compound aspect of Rahu from Aquarius and Mars from Cancer. Additionally, Mars from Cancer now aspects Rahu, so watch where you throw those sparks. And Venus, receiving the compound aspect of Rahu and Mars, is strongly potent in her own sign of Libra and is specifically in the constellation known as Swati, where Rahu’s rulership dwells as an underlayment. 

This is a dynamic, potent, reactive, and wildly creative combination that could yield an amazing amount of action this week. Understand that putting both Mars and Rahu in the cauldron could cause quick and unexpected reactions. Be careful with chemistry this week and you may be able to exponentially grow your current projects. The ideas will be flying this week!

The full Moon on Saturday hovers near retrograde Saturn, bringing clarity to puzzling situations and inviting us to pivot toward getting started and away from further preparation. Mars exactly aspects Rahu as the Moon becomes full on September 26. Moon will be in Jupiter ruled Pisces, with Uttarabhadra nakshatra layering in an even deeper Saturn influence.
