Happy September, my starry-eyed loves.
Astrology this week centers on letting life show you the right path forward. On Tuesday, Sept. 8, the moon will move into a conjunction with Jupiter, bringing emotional expansion. On Wednesday, the moon will move into a beautiful aspect with Venus, encouraging us to feel supported and at ease. Thursday, Sept. 10, marks multiple major shifts in our sky. We have a New Moon in Virgo, Venus entering Scorpio, Mercury entering Libra and Uranus officially stationing retrograde in Gemini, creating a potentially transformative reset period.
Rising and sun signs
Your sun sign is the zodiac sign the sun occupied when you were born, while your rising sign is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon when you were born. A forecast using your rising sign is more specific because it shows which areas of your life are being activated by the planets. Don’t know your rising sign? Read for your sun sign instead.
