[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of September 1 - 7

Brace yourself, it’s a big week. We have Saturn moving back into Pisces, Mercury forging ahead into Virgo, Uranus standing still and turning around in Gemini, and it’s all capped off with a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on Sunday. 

Monday 09/01

• ♄ ▻ Pisces |4:06am - 4:06am Eastern
• ☽ at 28° 54‘ Sagittarius △ ☿ at 28° 54‘ Leo |7:36pm - 7:36pm Eastern
• ☽ at 29° 56‘ Sagittarius □ ♄ at 29° 56‘ Pisces |9:38pm - 9:38pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 9:38pm - 9:44pm Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Capricorn |9:44pm - 9:44pm Eastern

Monday, Saturn slides back into Pisces which means you’ll start revisiting problems that never really got solved, and they may feel heavier this time around. But once Saturn turns direct (November 28th) you’ll begin to finish up the remodeling project in this area of life. 

Back to today. There’s a strong urge to speak freely and move quickly, but reality checks show up just as fast. The day mixes momentum with obstacles, making it clear where you’re still stuck.

• Best for: Getting things off your chest, spotting weak spots that keep slowing you down.
• Potential Challenges: Bumping into the same blocks again, saying too much and dealing with the fallout.

Tuesday 09/02

• ☽ at 01° 19‘ Capricorn □ ♆ at 01° 19‘ Aries | 12:20am - 12:20am Eastern
•  ☿ ▻ Virgo | 9:23am - 9:23am Eastern
• ☽ at 10° 42‘ Capricorn △ ☉ at 10° 42‘ Virgo | 6:23pm - 6:23pm Eastern

Tuesday Mercury moves into Virgo which helps words and decisions to gain a level of precision that has been lacking. The day hums along with a steady energy well suited for handling work tasks and making progress.

• Best for: Clear conversations, practical tasks, paying attention to important details.
• Potential Challenges: Overthinking, nitpicking, slowing yourself down by focusing too narrowly.

Wednesday 09/03

• ☿ at 01° 27‘ Virgo □ ♅ at 01° 27‘ Gemini | 3:40am - 3:40am Eastern
• ☽ at 17° 31‘ Capricorn □ ♂︎ at 17° 31‘ Libra | 7:19am - 7:19am Eastern
• ☽ at 18° 19‘ Capricorn  ☍ ♃ at 18° 19‘ Cancer | 8:50am - 8:50am Eastern

Wednesday news and plans change quickly. People speak bluntly and quick replies turn into arguments when opinions or expectations collide.

Small irritations quickly blow up into bigger problems with tempers running hot and people trying to push past normal limits.

Disruptions and overreactions could feed off each other, which could make everything feel louder and less contained than usual.

• Best for: Quick decisions, bold conversations, tackling problems that benefit from a shake-up.
• Potential Challenges: Arguments escalating fast, decisions made in haste, minor issues turning into major distractions.

Thursday 09/04

• 🌔 Waxing Gibbous Moon | 12:53am - 12:53am Eastern
• ☽ at 29° 46‘ Capricorn ✳ ♄ at 29° 46‘ Pisces | 6:07am - 6:07am Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 6:07am - 6:31am Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Aquarius | 6:31am - 6:31am Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 16‘ Aquarius ✳ ♆  at 01° 16‘ Aries | 8:51am - 8:51am Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 27‘ Aquarius △ ♅ at 01° 27‘ Gemini | 9:12am - 9:12am Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♇ at 01° 42‘ Aquarius   | 9:40am - 9:40am Eastern
• ♂︎ at 18° 35‘ Libra □ ♃ at 18° 35‘ Cancer |10:58pm - 10:58pm Eastern

Thursday is so extra. Efforts get bigger than they need to be, arguments turn louder than expected, and people press their point long past when it’s useful. 

The overall mood is unsettled, with sudden changes or insights adding to the sense that things can tip out of control quickly.

• Best for: Channeling energy into something that needs force, seeing exactly where things have gone too far.
• Potential Challenges: Escalating fights, reckless choices, chasing more than you can realistically handle.

Friday 09/05

• ☽ at 12° 51‘ Aquarius ☍ ♀︎ at 12° 51‘ Leo | 5:48am - 5:48am Eastern
• ☽ at 19° 05‘ Aquarius △ ♂︎ at 19° 05‘ Libra | 4:51pm - 4:51pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C |4:51pm - 4:51pm Eastern

Friday small differences or disagreements stand out more than usual. That irritation quickly fuels action, making people more direct, quicker to move, and less patient with delays. 

Conversations and tasks have more momentum, but the spark often comes from conflict rather than ease.

• Best for: Moving quickly on tasks, speaking directly, getting things off the ground.
• Potential Challenges: Snapping over minor issues, pushing too hard, letting irritation set the tone.

Saturday 09/06

• ♅ ▻ ℞ at 01° 27‘ Gemini | 12:51am - 12:51am Eastern
• ☽ V/C | » 11:54am Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Pisces |11:54am - 11:54am Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 27‘ Pisces □ ♅ at 01° 27‘ Gemini |2:25pm - 2:25pm Eastern

Saturday isn’t the day of the eclipse so you might be expecting it to be more chill, that is not going to be the case. 

There is zero chill to be found today. What you are likely to find is plans suddenly being changed, people being more unpredictable, and a lot of emo (in all its various forms).

• Best for: Shaking up stale routines, saying what others avoid, letting raw emotion fuel honesty.
• Potential Challenges: Plans falling apart, overblown reactions, people acting in ways that make them hard to deal with.

Sunday 09/07

• ☽ at 09° 12‘ Pisces ☍ ☿ at 09° 12‘ Virgo | 3:41am - 3:41am Eastern
• ☼ Lunar Eclipse | Pisces 🌕 Full Moon | 2:08pm - 2:08pm Eastern
• ☉ ☍ ☽ at 15° 22‘ Pisces  | 2:08pm - 2:08pm Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ☊ at 18° 20‘ Pisces | 7:07pm - 7:07pm Eastern
• ☽ at 19° 05‘ Pisces △ ♃ at 19° 05‘ Cancer | 8:24pm - 8:24pm Eastern

Sunday the main event is the Pisces Lunar Eclipse.

This eclipse marks an ending, but it’s the kind of ending that can feel like relief. What is weak or draining slips away, and what remains is steadied by bonds of loyalty and generosity. Instead of collapsing without support, there is a sense that something better can take its place.

• Best for: Recognizing which efforts no longer serve, releasing what has run its course, leaning on supportive connections.
• Potential Challenges: Energy feels drained, attention to detail is harder to maintain, instability is exposed where things are already fragile.

Until next time, my wish for you is respite from living in interesting times. - Robin💋
