[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of September 15 - 21

This week we have allllll of the changes. Mercury and Venus move signs and into an alliance of sorts that will likely help smooth over some of the rough edges of the final eclipse of the year that happens at the end of the week. 

Monday 09/15

• ♀︎ at 25° 51‘ Leo ✳ ♂︎ at 25° 51‘ Libra | 11:03pm Eastern

Monday is cooperative and people are more likely to want to meet in the middle and work together. It’s a warm, fuzzy, optimistic dream big kind of day.

• Best for: Teamwork, social plans, enjoying a sense of support.
• Potential Challenges: Overcommitting, overspending, saying yes too quickly.

Tuesday 09/16

• ☽ ☌ ♃ at 20° 27‘ Cancer  | 8:18am Eastern
• ☽ at 24° 09‘ Cancer ✳ ☉ at 24° 09‘ Virgo | 2:52pm Eastern
• ☽ at 26° 24‘ Cancer □ ♂︎ at 26° 24‘ Libra | 6:53pm Eastern
• ☽ at 27° 30‘ Cancer ✳ ☿ at 27° 30‘ Virgo | 8:51pm Eastern
• ☽ at 28° 49‘ Cancer △ ♄ at 28° 49‘ Pisces | 11:13pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C |11:13pm» Eastern

Tuesday is productive with a moderate chance of becoming annoyed if anything interrupts your groove (click it now, thank me later).

• Best for: Getting work done, helpful conversations, steady progress on plans.
• Potential Challenges: Emotional overreactions, arguments when pushed, slipping into drama. 

Wednesday 09/17

• ☽ ▻ Leo | 1:19am Eastern
• ☽ at 00° 55‘ Leo △ ♆  at 00° 55‘ Aries | 3:00am Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 24‘ Leo  ✳ ♅ at 01° 24‘ Gemini | 3:52am Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 31‘ Leo  ☍ ♇ at 01° 31‘ Aquarius | 4:05am Eastern
• ☿ at 28° 46‘ Virgo ☍ ♄  at 28° 46‘ Pisces | 1:47pm  Eastern
• 🌘 Waning Crescent Moon | 8:03pm Eastern

Wednesday is more serious. Challenging conversations, delays, and obstacles are all possible. 

On the other hand, if you’re feeling very ‘nose to the grindstone’ you could get a lot accomplished.

• Best for: Focused work, steady effort, getting things done with persistence.
• Potential Challenges: Tough conversations, slow progress,  criticism that stalls work.

Thursday 09/18

• ☿ ▻ Libra | 6:05am - 6:05am
• ☿ at 00° 53‘ Libra ☍ ♆ at 00° 53‘ Aries | 6:00pm Eastern

Thursday we get a collective glimpse into life after eclipse season as Mercury waltzes into Libra. The sharp precision of Virgo season gives way to diplomacy, but for today clarity is lacking and mixed signals are more likely. 

Thoughts and decisions may drift or get clouded by uncertainty and outright deception is possible. Trust but verify. 

• Best for: Creative writing, daydreaming, escaping routine, imagining alternatives.
• Potential Challenges: Mixed messages, unclear plans, drifting instead of deciding.

Friday 09/19

• ☿ at 01° 23‘ Libra △ ♅ at 01° 23‘ Gemini | 12:52am Eastern
• ☿ at 01° 30‘ Libra △ ♇ at 01° 30‘ Aquarius | 2:26am Eastern
• ☽ at 28° 00‘ Leo ✳ ♂︎  at 28° 00‘ Libra | 4:39am Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♀︎ at 29° 59' Leo  | 8:21am Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 8:21am - 8:32am Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Virgo | 8:32am  Eastern
• ♀︎ ▻ Virgo | 8:39am Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 23‘ Virgo □ ♅ at 01° 23‘ Gemini | 10:59am Eastern

Friday the Virgo dial gets turned all the way up as both the Moon and Venus move into the eclipse zone.

Pleasure and connection are present, but they come with more hesitation and higher standards. It’s a day when beauty and enjoyment are still on the table, just measured more carefully and judged more closely than usual. (This applies to a greater extent to the entire period Venus is in Virgo)

• Best for: Appreciating subtle details, refining taste, noticing what truly feels worthwhile.
• Potential Challenges: Second-guessing pleasure, being overly critical, struggling to relax fully.

Saturday 09/20

• ♀︎ at 01° 22‘ Virgo □ ♅ at 01° 22‘ Gemini | 11:41am Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ☋ at 18° 22‘ Virgo | 7:13pm Eastern 

Saturday isn’t the day of the eclipse but you may find yourself feeling more drained than usual while simultaneously dealing with something unexpected that affects love, attraction or pleasure. 

The intensity dial is being turned up.

• Best for: Yes-or-no calls in love or pleasure, last-minute plan changes that clarify what matters, quick checks on whether a spark holds up.
• Potential Challenges: Sudden cancellations or ghosting, arguments over attention or taste, brief sparks that fizzle, low energy and drop-offs.

Sunday 09/21

• ☽ at 21° 09‘ Virgo ✳ ♃ at 21° 09‘ Cancer | 12:33am Eastern
• ☉ at 28° 30‘ Virgo ☍ ♄ at 28° 30‘ Pisces | 1:45am Eastern
• ☽ at 28° 28‘ Virgo ☍ ♄ at 28° 28‘ Pisces | 2:42pm Eastern
• ☀ Solar Eclipse | Virgo 🌑 New Moon | 3:54pm Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ☉ at 29° 05‘ Virgo  | 3:54pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C |  3:54pm - 5:40pm Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Libra | 5:40pm Eastern
• ☽ at 00° 48‘ Libra ☍ ♆ at 00° 48‘ Aries | 7:14pm Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 21‘ Libra △ ♅ at 01° 21‘ Gemini | 8:19pm Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 28‘ Libra △ ♇ at 01° 28‘ Aquarius | 8:33pm Eastern

Sunday we reach the final boss of Virgo Season, the Virgo Solar Eclipse.

This is a clear reset. Unscripted endings and new beginnings arrive in the realm of accuracy and standards, and what’s not meeting current standards loses support. Words and choices are harshly judged, approvals are harder to get, and progress moves only as fast as the rules allow.

• Best for: Formal decisions, edits and quality checks, starting smaller and cleaner.
• Potential Challenges: Delays and denials, harsh criticism, cutbacks or cancellations, fatigue.

But here’s the thing, it’s almost over. The Moon moves into Libra at 5:40 pm eastern and the Sun follows her tomorrow. 

The aftermath may take a while to shake out all of the loose ends but next week really is a new chapter. 

Until next time, my wish for you is the willingness to do the work in the pursuit of what you want most. - Robin💋
