Snapshot of the Stars // September 24, 2018 Horoscope
September 24, 2018
These aspects demand us to balance our drive with our responsibilities for others. The Aries Moon gives us an opportunity to move forward with our creative projects and take a step into achieving our personal goals. But Libra Sun warns us to avoid isolation and getting too absorbed in our aspirations. She's encouraging us to ask for help when we need it and involve our loved ones in plans for the future.
A square between the Sun, Moon, and Saturn further exacerbates the conflict between self and others. We long for security and stability in our personal relationships, but feel a strong urge to push our individual agenda. Draw upon Libra's energy to know when to assert your needs and when to focus on those of a loved one.
The Moon conjunct Chiron is another complicated placement, but one that brings forth much needed healing. Chiron is not a planet, but a comet between Saturn and Uranus. It's name is derived from a Greek mythological story of the Centaur Chiron, who sacrificed his life so that humans could have fire. Despite being immortal, he gave up his life when he could not heal the wound from a poisoned arrow.
Chiron represents our wounded selves, as well as our potential for healing. When Moon joins Chiron in Aries, our damaged selves shed their shrouds of darkness and emerge in the full Moon's light. Even when we aren't ready to acknowledge the pain. This aspect demands us to recognize it, hold it in the palms of our hands, and accept it. Trauma from childhood will be the main focus, and memories relating to mistreatment by maternal, paternal, and/or adults who raised us will resurface.
Repression can protect us from the hurt. But it's only a temporary tool. When we neglect experiences that made us feel shameful, upset, and afraid, they're integrated into how we perceive ourselves. The full Moon illuminates how pain has shaped our behavior. Have we become hardened, afraid to let in love because of the eventual vulnerability? Do we fear pursuing our dreams because we were once made to feel incapable or incompetent? Do our childhood wounds hold us back from loving who we've become? Whatever it may be, the stars are encouraging us to let it all go. Feel it, so it can be free to float away.
The following horoscopes are for each Sun sign based on the current snapshot of the stars. You are welcome to read your rising sign as well.
Aries
The full Moon is in your sign tonight, Aries, and it's exposing your natural drive for independence. You are likely to be full of energy for the next few days, and find it easy to initiate creative or professional projects. But don't move too fast. The Moon square Saturn asks you to consider whether your actions are for the betterment of your emotional well-being. As much as you love being independent, you have a tendency to neglect the importance of meaningful connections. These aspects want you to reconcile the Aries-Libra polarity of self vs. others. What holds you back from considering the perspectives and needs of others?
Taurus
Uranus in your sign, Taurus, means massive upheavals in how you understand your value system. Uranus trine Saturn in Capricorn means you've been moving through this process with ease. However, your attachments relating to love is brought forth by the energies of your ruling planet Venus, which squares with Mars. Your feelings towards current relationships and friendships may feel at a stand still, as you are plagued by inaction or a reckless impulsivity. Take the time to process your emotions and thoughts, as you may experience flashbacks to previous toxic circumstances. You must face your fear of the unknown in order to grow.
Gemini
Who you are is how you think, Gemini, but Mercury square Saturn poses challenges in communicating your needs. You may be frustrated, as finding the right words seems impossible today. This Moon's proclivity to be self-involved can lead to romanticizing past relationships where things felt smoother. But easy doesn't always indicate growth. Use this full Moon energy to recognize what your current relationships bring into your life. What common goals do you share with those around you? What mental blockages are stopping you from recognizing the potential of your current circumstance?
Cancer
You are the sign that's most sensitive to the phases of the moon, Cancer. Your emotions are heightened by the revelatory quality of the full Moon in Aries. Negative memories relating to your childhood home life are surfacing to remind you of toxic patterns you've developed in order to survive. Do they still keep you safe? Or are they hurting your potential for growth? The stars want you to realize your tendency to be sacrificial for the sake of others. It's time to focus on yourself and work on creating the best circumstances that support your personal evolution.
Leo
With the retrograde North Node in Leo lighting up your ruling house, you are brimming with passionate and fiery energy. While there's a desire to channel it into all aspects of your life, your relationships and creativity are the main focus. You are craving authentic connections that fill you with love and light. But there's a tension between what you want and what you have, as North Node forms a square with Venus in Scorpio. You may be remembering past experiences that felt cold, lifeless, or painful. Take the time to let go of old relationships that are holding you back from allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to know what you're looking for.
Virgo
With Libra in your ruling planet Mercury forming a square with Saturn, it's best to avoid your usual detail-orientated approach. Use the energy of this astrology to take a step back, and survey what your soul is really craving. Are you getting too wrapped up in the day-to-day grind? What are you avoiding by creating so much structure? Communicating your feelings will be difficult today as misunderstandings are likely to occur. Take some time to sort through what feelings or memories the full Moon in Aries brings up.
Libra
With the Sun and Mercury in your natal planet, it's your turn to shine and thrive. The Sun's opposition with the Moon, however, will bring up issues relating to how you process your needs alongside others. Do you have a tendency to sacrifice what you want for the sake of others? How has this served you in the long run? You are an excellent partner and friend, Libra, because you are so considerate in your loving. This full Moon reminds you that in order to assert your own needs, you need to let go of any shame you have about nurturing yourself.
Scorpio
With Venus in your Sun sign, you're discovering more about your deep capacity for intense intimacy. However, Venus square Mars in Aquarius may be giving you a hard time in terms of expressing this passionate energy. You may be feeling hesitant or confused about your short and long-term desires. What past experiences are clouding your intuitive judgment? Why are you holding onto them? The full Moon asks you to cleanse yourself of previous negative circumstances that affect your ability to trust others.
Sagittarius
Your ruling planet Jupiter has been in Scorpio since last year, meaning you've done a lot of work in expanding your psychological and intuitive capacities. It's a tiring process, but this full Moon encourages you to continue the transformative work. Consider how your attachment to freedom can be ironic; are you devoted to experiencing new things or cutting ties with circumstances you're afraid of facing? Sun opposition Moon wants you to learn to balance asserting your need for flexibility without disregarding the importance of interdependency.
Capricorn
With your ruling planet Saturn forming squares with so many planets, it forces you to recognize the blockages you've been experiencing with your emotions, relationships, and career. Saturn is in your sign Capricorn, meaning you've been having major setbacks regarding your ambitions. This full Moon asks you to consider what responsibilities are worth fighting for, and which ones you should give up. Prioritize people and circumstances that align with your soul's path, especially within your career. Do not be afraid to face what you've trapped in the past; it's time to move on.
Aquarius
With Mars in Aquarius squaring Venus, you're experiencing tension between your need for action and the reality of your relationship with others. The full Moon is illuminating your internal restlessness regarding your social life. Are you truly invested in the individuals and communities in your life? Or are you more enamored with the idea of them rather than the reality? It might be tempting to make impulsive decisions to break free from the mundane. But don't underestimate the value of contemplation; you need to see your current circumstance as it is before you can change it.
Pisces
Your ruling planet Neptune has been retrograde in your sign and will station direct in a month's time. This influence has made you dreamier than usual Pisces, more susceptible to believe your fantasies are reality. All the squares occurring in the stars are a reality check, especially the full Moon square Saturn. Are your dreams a starting point for what you want to manifest? Or are they leading you down a dead-end path? Chiron illuminates parts of your past you'd rather shroud in denial and victimization, but the Moon in Aries wants you to take responsibility for your actions. You are not defined by the past, but by how you proceed into the future.
