Mars Retrograde, Jupiter Direct Ahead: September 6th-12th Astrology

If the retrogrades intrigue you, notice how they layer in and out as summer melts into autumn later this month. We're in an especially notable retrograde time as Mars joins 'the others' in retrograde status this Wednesday while Jupiter's retrograde in Capricorn ends Saturday. Mars retrograde in Aries highlights anger, frustration and unresolved issues such as use of force or violence. We'll be going back to feel and learn to manage such things. With a serious square to Saturn in Capricorn, power abuse and misuse and struggles over control are coming up big time and delays, major delays, are inevitable as well as wise. 

At September's end, Saturn moves direct, followed by Pluto, both in Capricorn. Saturn and Mars square is exact on the same day Saturn moves direct, September 29th.

Mercury retrograde begins October 13th and will be felt for a week or so in advance. Time significant announcements, technical purchases or upgrades, and legal agreements such as signing binding documents outside of that time. However, it's not easy to pinpoint excellent days for astrological timing during summer and early fall of 2020. So follow your instincts and use your wits. 

Hope you've been well!

Sunday: We start the week with Moon and Mars meeting in Aries at 12:45 am EDT. It's quite a fiery conjunction and can activate frustration and anger. Alternately, this could be motivating. Mars will retrace this degree during the retrograde, so if something really gets to you today, notice what that is. Be very cautious in any situation that could be violent or aggressive. Staying out of harm's way is the best plan. Void Moon begins with that meeting, and at 4:43 am the Moon enters Taurus. Venus moves into Leo. The Moon and Venus square which may be experienced as conflicts of personalities, opinions, and relationship decisions. Today's color is Brown.

Monday: Taurus Moon meets up with Uranus. Taurus isn't a sign that loves surprises, yet Uranus lives in this sign for many years now. Uranus instigates the unexpected. The good news comes in the form of Moon in harmony with the Sun, Jupiter, and Neptune. This can make for more optimism and also help with energy for projects such as building, cooking or creating. Enjoy nature and any comforts that are simple and available. Gardening is favored. Wear Blue.

Tuesday: Taurus Moon goes on to align with retrograde planets in Capricorn, Pluto and Saturn, and is then void of course until 5:28 pm EDT. This either helps us sail through the day easily, or if something very important is on the line, the void Moon could interfere by creating an atmosphere of forgetfulness or lack of care. Gemini Moon aligns with Venus this evening for social moods and agreeable exchanges of ideas and conversation. Today's color is Pink.

Wednesday: Gemini Moon aligns with Mercury by morning, encouraging brainstorming, planning and discussions. Hopefully, the Venus effect with carry into the day, making things agreeable and friendly. Venus is in Leo, sign of performances. Enjoy some comedy, music or self expression through the arts. Team up with a friend or collaborator. The Sun in Virgo aligns with Jupiter retrograde in Capricorn for problem solving, at least temporarily. Put structures in place and see how they work. Mars retrograde begins at 8:22 pm EDT. Expect delays now into October. Prepare to be patient. Today's color is Gold. 

Thursday: Gemini Moon is very active in the zodiac today. One major caution relates to being unrealistic and/or having expectations that aren't reasonable. Something that sounded like a great idea may fizzle or show it's flaws. Disappointment is one effect. Use this day to continue to sort out the best plans or ideas. It's not a great day for major decisions. The Moon squares the Sun and Neptune. This points out stuck points and what or whom is unreliable. Wear Yellow.

Friday: The Moon aligns harmoniously with Mars retrograde, yet could activate arguments or debates. Adventurous thoughts and ideas come up and some will act spontaneously, good idea or not. Watch out for impulsiveness. Take advantage of a burst of mental energy for studies or writing, if it comes. Void Moon overnight melts into Cancer Moon time from 4:33 am EDT on. There's likely a desire to mellow out. The Sun and Neptune are opposite for creativity and intuition. Otherwise, this is more a time for family and personal priorities. Fairness may come up as an issue to be sorted out clearly and equitably. Do something that satisfies your quiet side. Today's color is Light Blue.

Saturday: Cancer Moon opposite Jupiter,  and in harmony with Neptune and the Sun. Continue to be realistic with plans and decisions. The Sun and Neptune are on their third day of emphasis. Sun in Virgo leans toward health, service to others, problem solving and grounding in routines and tasks. Neptune in Pisces is romantic, idealistic, imaginative, spiritual and may veil what's real. Notice any ways they seem to apply to you and to family and home. Create a sacred or magical space in your house or garden. Meditate. Try not to count on things that may not come through. We are retracing SO much this year. The ability to hang in, wait, find your best routines, not act impulsively, and stay steady are huge assets during this time. Jupiter is direct in Capricorn as of 8:41 pm EDT. November 12th is our next of three Jupiter/Pluto meetings, and they aim to transform our experience. Today's color is White.
