This is the week the year comes into balance, and then tips.
On Wednesday morning, 23 September, at 8:05 Perth time, the Sun crosses the equator and enters Libra. That is the equinox, day and night equal for one instant, and Libra season open.
I wrote to you about it yesterday and I will write again on Wednesday morning, so today I will only say this.
The equinox is a crossing, and a crossing is a good day to decide which way you are walking.
Then the week ends with the answer.
Just after midnight on Saturday night, at 12:49 on Sunday morning, 27 September, the Moon is full at 4 degrees of Aries. An Aries Moon facing a Libra Sun. The self, facing the other.
Libra asks what is fair to everybody. Aries asks what YOU want.
The Full Moon is the release point of the cycle that began at the Virgo New Moon on 11 September, so whatever you planted then comes to a head this weekend.
One caution for the weekend: the Moon is full right beside Neptune, so feelings will run bigger than the facts. Feel it fully, and sleep on it before you send it.
Mercury is in Libra all week, so the words for a fair conversation are available. Venus is in Scorpio, still asking your relationships for the true sentence. Mars finishes its long run through Cancer and steps into Leo next Monday, 28 September, so the energy that has been turned inward starts looking for somewhere to show itself.
Numerology: the last full week of September’s 1 month in a 1 year, and next week October arrives as an 11 month, the first Master Number month of the year, so this week is the last of the plain beginnings before the volume goes up. The Rooster month keeps the details in order.
The theme for everyone: cross the middle on Wednesday, then say what you want by Sunday.
Read for your Sun sign, and your rising sign if you know it.
Aries
Wednesday’s equinox lands in your house of partnership, so Libra season turns the light onto the other person for a month. The question on the table is what is fair between you, said out loud rather than kept score of. Sunday’s Full Moon is in your own sign, so the week ends with you, and what you actually want, impossible to keep hidden. Say it plainly and kindly, because a 1 month in a 1 year rewards the person who goes first.
Taurus
The equinox lands in your house of work and health, so balance this month is about the routine, what you give it and what it gives back. One small change to the daily shape of things will do more than a big plan. Sunday’s Full Moon falls in your quietest house, so something you have been carrying privately comes to the surface, and that is a relief. Venus in your partnership house all week says the true sentence goes better than the diplomatic one.
Gemini
Wednesday’s crossing lights up your house of joy and creativity, so Libra season is your permission slip to make something for the pleasure of it. Book the thing you keep saying you will do when things settle down. Sunday’s Full Moon lands among your friends and community, so a group, a circle or a friendship reaches its release point over the weekend. Mercury in your house of joy makes you very good company, so use the charm on the people who matter.
Cancer
The equinox lands at the base of your chart, so this month the balance is domestic, home, family, the place you return to. Something at home wants weighing fairly rather than endured quietly. Sunday’s Full Moon is at the top of your chart, so the weekend brings a work or public matter to a head, and you will be seen dealing with it. Mars leaves your sign next Monday after a long stay, so use this last week of extra drive on the thing only you can push.
Leo
Wednesday’s equinox lands in your house of words and daily connections, so Libra season is a month of conversations, messages, siblings, neighbours, the short trips. The fair version of the conversation is the one that lasts, so give the other side a real hearing. Sunday’s Full Moon lands in your house of horizons, so a belief, a plan or a trip comes to its decision point over the weekend. Jupiter is still in your sign, so the bigger version of you is available if you will step into it.
Virgo
The equinox lands in your house of money and worth, so your own season ends and Libra season asks what things are worth, and what you are. Put a number on your work this month and say it without apologising. Sunday’s Full Moon lands in your house of depth and shared resources, so something held jointly, money, trust, an old debt, reaches its release point. A 1 month in a 1 year says settle it cleanly and begin the next chapter unencumbered.
Libra
Wednesday’s equinox is the Sun coming home to your own sign, so this is your season, and the light turns toward you for a month. Take up the space, because the year has just tipped in your favour. Sunday’s Full Moon lands opposite you, in partnership, so the weekend brings the other person’s want into the open, and yours alongside it. Mercury in your sign all week hands you the words, so use them before the Moon does it for you.
Scorpio
The equinox lands in your quietest house, so Libra season asks you to rest, reflect and finish things before your own season arrives in a month. Clear the decks, and let the tiredness you have been ignoring have its say. Sunday’s Full Moon lands in your house of work and health, so the body or the routine speaks up over the weekend, and it is worth listening. Venus in your sign all week keeps your pull strong, so ask for what you are worth.
Sagittarius
Wednesday’s crossing lands among your friends and community, so balance this month is about the circle you keep, who gives, who takes, and whether it is fair. Show up for a group you have drifted from, or step back from one that only ever asks. Sunday’s Full Moon lands in your house of joy and creativity, so something you have been making, or a romance, comes to a head over the weekend. The Rooster month says finish the detail on it before you show it.
Capricorn
The equinox lands at the top of your chart, so Libra season puts your work, your reputation and your public role on the scales for a month. Ask whether what you give the job and what it gives you are in any kind of balance. Sunday’s Full Moon lands at the base of your chart, so the weekend brings a home or family matter to its release point, and it will want your full attention. Mercury at the top of your chart is the week for the careful professional conversation.
Aquarius
Wednesday’s equinox lands in your house of horizons, so Libra season widens the view, travel, study, a belief that needs weighing against the evidence. Read something that disagrees with you and give it a fair hearing. Sunday’s Full Moon lands in your house of words and daily connections, so a conversation, a message or a sibling matter comes to a head over the weekend. A 1 month in a 1 year says say the new thing out loud rather than thinking it to death.
Pisces
The equinox lands in your house of depth and shared resources, so balance this month is about what is held between you and another, money, trust, intimacy. Have the conversation about the arrangement rather than living inside the assumption. Sunday’s Full Moon lands in your house of money and worth, so the weekend brings a question of value, yours or a thing’s, to its decision point. With the Moon beside Neptune in the next sign along, your own intuition is loud this week, so write it down and check it against Monday.
Whatever your sign, the week has one shape.
Wednesday the year balances for an instant and tips toward the light.
Sunday morning the Moon asks what you want.
Cross the middle first, then answer plainly.
What will you be weighing this week?
