Weekly Horoscope: September 24 - 30

The sun squares off with Saturn, the planet of boundaries, at 7:50 PM on Tuesday, exposing whatever limitations we need to overcome. On Thursday, the sun harmonizes with action planet Mars at 7:35 PM, giving us the boost of energy we need to power through conflict caused by Tuesday's planetary action. On Sunday, power planet Pluto ends its retrograde—the effects of which, like any time a planet changes directions, can be felt a few days before. As Pluto shifts, its energy is palpable—secrets and underlying behavioral patterns sift to the surface, and it becomes easier to cut through the bullshit, echoing the energy of Venus (Libra's planetary ruler) in the sign of rebirth and purification, Scorpio.

All times EST.

The Aries ram independently steps into the world to carry their friends on their back.

Monday's full moon creates a powerful harmony with your expansive planetary ruler, Jupiter, adding extra fairy dust to its already strong potential for manifestation.

This past weekend, the equinox pushed the sun into your house of career and reputation, bringing a rush of energy to put you in the spotlight—whether you like it or not!

Pisces is one of the signs of servitude, and in order to give back to the world, a 21st century Pisces needs to have financial (and emotional) stability first! Full moons put all of the cards on the table, so now is an opportune time for you to take inventory of what you have and what you need. The full moon will make a gentle connection to your planetary ruler, boundless Jupiter—if there’s something you notice you're lacking, you can get it by asking for it.

Monday’s full moon in Aries is very sensitive for those with an Aries sun or Aries rising sign. Aries is known for being independent and bravely embarking into uncharted territories, but if you read up on the mythology of the Aries ram, you’ll learn that the reason why Aries takes so many leaps is so they can take those closest to them along for the journey. This full moon asks: How do you balance the energies of Aries' independence and Libra's codependence? You can’t love anyone if you don’t love yourself, but loving other people (or any living creatures) definitely helps you learn how to love yourself, too. On Thursday, the sun harmonizes with your planetary ruler, action planet Mars, helping you network and collaborate with other people.

Your planetary ruler Venus will be in the partnerships sector of your chart as it transits intense, passionate Scorpio until January—give or take a few weeks during its retrograde. There's a transformative energy in your relationships right now—use this time to shed extra fluff and get straight to the heart of what powers your partnerships.

The harvest moon on Monday illuminates the sector of your chart concerning your macro-networks and how you fit in with the rest of the world at large. This is typically understood as your social networks in a digital world, but an alternate, analog way of understanding this sector of your chart is to simply step outside—everyone in line with you at the coffee shop is technically in your larger network! The full moon illuminates the sector of your chart that is about who you rub elbows with on a regular basis. Now is the time to see how you fit in with them, and to understand how your individual self can have an impact on all of these strangers.

Libra season finds you focused on creating a harmonious home environment. This Monday's harvest moon illuminates the career and public reputation of your chart, and faces off with the Libra sun, which is lighting up your chart's familial, domestic sector.
