old stories, new perspectives

Your astrological & energetic update for September 8-14

In effort to lean deeper into the ‘back to school’ energy of Virgo season, I accompanied my sister to a writing center yesterday to work on this newsletter and a variety of other astrology projects. Nothing will get you into a deeper state of focus than working in silence at a large round table with 10 writers for a prolonged period of time. Little did they know I was half writing, half searching for photos of rocks (see below) for this newsletter. I am grateful for their truly iconic Virgo vibes anyways.

This week, I was also a guest on the Big Sky Astrology podcast where I got to represent the Pluto in Sagittarius generation for April’s annual ‘podathon’. We had a great conversation about the pluto cycle, the poetic transition from Scorpionic to Sagittarius energy, and the up and coming generation of astrologers. Listen below!

Astrologically speaking, we continue what I am calling our ‘pocket of peace’ this week as we move out of Mercury Rx shadow and prepare for Eclipse season. Like a cosmic yoga class, our assignment this week is ‘balancing’. We start to implement our new moon intentions from last week while keeping ourselves open to unexpected twists and turns that may present in this week’s transits (keep reading to see what’s in store).

My prayer for us this week is that amongst all of the noise and busy energy, we can take some time to tune into the little moments of magic. That’s what Virgo is all about….reminding us that we don’t have to travel across the world to find enlightenment or that the love we’ve been searching for has been right in front of us this whole time. We just have to soften our expectations and know when to listen.

Let’s get into the astrology of this week!
