All times Eastern — adjust for your location.We’re in the waxing moon cycle this week. Last week’s new moon in Virgo landed during a Uranus retrograde, and you may have noticed — or felt personally — some big shifts or changes surfacing in your life. That could look like a sudden 180°, or a situation unveiling itself as a catalyst for change. If you haven’t felt it yet, the retrograde continues for a few months, so it may still be stirring something up depending on your natal chart. Uranus is currently in early Gemini, so air signs (Libra, Aquarius, Gemini) and mutable signs (Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo) are most likely to feel it through transit. Knowing where Gemini falls in your chart — the house, the planets involved — shows you which area of life is opening up for change over the next several years.Uranus isn’t fast-moving, but it’s not glacial either. Over the next seven or eight years, expect this kind of shift to keep surfacing. Scale varies — when I had a Uranus transit eight years ago, which hit me, my husband, and my mother-in-law all at once, and we ended up moving. Right now we’re in a strong Uranian sweep, with retrograde undercurrents running beneath it. But this week’s waxing moon has good momentum for building whatever you want to focus on.Monday–Tuesday, Sept 14–15: Scorpio Moon — deep healing, Virgo SunThe moon moves through Scorpio on Monday and Tuesday, working well with the new moon’s momentum to help unfold whatever you’re focused on over the coming week, month, or year — especially anything tied to Virgo: day-to-day routines, health, coworkers, wherever your energy and work go. Virgo also covers pets, since they’re so woven into our daily routines as is the responsibility of caring for them. As my husband puts it: dogs have owners, cats have staff. However you tend to the animals — or the hearth, your center, the hearth of your life more broadly — reflects how well you’re tending things generally. The sun is in Virgo all week, so the moon’s aspects keep touching it, some smoothly and some will create more demands.These two days carry a strong pull toward addressing family, finances, routines, and health — asking, how can I do this more deeply? Some of us have well-set routines; others have had life (a health incident, aging, a move) force those routines to shift. That’s the Scorpio edge: it looks straight at the wound, lances it, and isn’t afraid of the mess, because that’s what healing requires.This is profound territory — physical, emotional, intellectual, or creative. I’ve noticed in my own life, moving through different careers, that I periodically outgrow how I used to do things. That always requires an upheaval, a completion, before I can move into what’s next. Scorpio asks for that kind of courage — not the scorpion’s reflexive strike (the fear and revenge we see so much of right now), but the eagle’s wide-seeing vision, and ultimately the phoenix’s willingness to let the old form die so something new can rise from it. Tuesday the 15th is especially intense.Wednesday, Sept 16: momentum with detoursThe moon goes void-of-course at 11:30 PM Tuesday — a good window to rest and reset — then enters Sagittarius at 12:41 PM Wednesday. Use the morning to tie up loose ends before the shift.Sagittarius energy is more confrontational: fire, mutable, eager to move on an idea or vision. Watch for an upset or detour, especially from mid-afternoon onward, in anything initiated today — the chart of a launch reflects the energy present at that moment. That’s not a bad thing; it’s attachment to one path that blocks growth. Stay loyal to the ideal, not to exactly how it unfolds.Thursday–Friday, Sept 17–18: working out the detailsBy Thursday the 17th, the moon has passed its opposition to Uranus, and the energy turns productive and fiery through Friday. Expect to be making adjustments — ideas move faster than the logistics (money, timing, who’s on board), so Wednesday through Friday afternoon becomes about filling in those details. None of it derails the underlying momentum: this waxing moon is about creating, pushing forward, and building on ideals.The moon goes void-of-course again at 4:44 PM Friday and stays void through the night, entering Capricorn at 12:55 AM Saturday. That void stretch Friday evening is ideal for fun and expansion — new food, a new film, anything that stretches your sense of possibility. Think of it as bushwhacking: the direction is already set, so use the time to clear the path rather than start something new.Weekend of Sept 19–20: assessing what’s realMoon in Capricorn makes the weekend dynamic and task-focused — good for getting things done, whether work on your home or perhaps work through in a relationship that isn’t giving you the support you need (or vice versa). Capricorn wants tangible results.It can also feel heavy: a sense of “this is hard” or “I...
