Mercury Cazimi
September 30, 2024, brings the Sun and Mercury directly together in our skies, forming what is called a cazimi, an Arabic term meaning “in the heart of the Sun.” The Sun is the center of our solar system. It is the beginning, the end, and everything in between. Mercury relates to communication and rational thinking.
Mercury cazimi amplifies whatever it touches and symbolizes potency and clarity. It reveals sudden insights and revelatory communication. As you create space for insights and understandings to reach your mind, they will. Talking, journaling, listening, meditating, and being receptive to change are your invitations.
Solar Eclipse & New Moon in Libra
Welcome to the fourth and final eclipse of the year. On October 2, 2024, a solar eclipse occurs as the new Moon meets the lunar nodes in our cosmos. One of these lunar nodes, the south node, has been in Libra since July 2023 and inviting healing, release, and shifts in selfhood and both individual and collective relationship dynamics.
We have been rebalancing the dynamics of where self comes together with the other so that we find our own most balanced and authentic way of being and connecting. Eclipses lift the veil. Eclipses are a doorway through which the sacred can hold us closer, letting us breathe out all that is not for us. Whether we clearly recognize what is being released or not, we allow ourselves to let go and feel enlivened in the process. Eclipses remind us how supported, guided, and held we are by what is unseen.
The solar eclipse represents the final supportive moments of a journey we have been experiencing for more than a year. After 14 months of shifts within this space, we arrive at our last eclipse in the cycle. It is both a beginning and an end. A release that we have been building toward for more than a year. Here we arrive. There’s nothing that must be forced. Nothing we must control. We have been preparing for this moment. Here, we can simply breathe out, let go, and step into a new way of being, relating, connecting, and showing up for ourselves, life, and others.
Weekly Horoscopes for September 29-October 5, 2024
Throughout the week’s cosmic movements, you are invited into the arms of Libra. It means connection, beauty, and fairness. It means coming together in partnership and relationship. It means laughter, creation, and exploring the gift of life together. And it reminds you of the inner harmony available in each moment as you draw more and more toward balance with each step you take.
How can you allow this sign and all that it represents to move through you? How can it remind you of beauty, harmony, and connection in each moment? This is your invitation. To attune to the offering that is Libra, to open your mind under the Mercury cazimi, and to surrender and release under the solar eclipse. Let the week be a balm for your heart. Your weekly horoscope can help you understand how.
Aries Rising
This week represents both an ending and a beginning that you have been moving towards for more than 14 months. Throughout this time, you have been learning how to channel more of yourself into your connections, partnerships, and collaborations. Insights are making their way to you this week. So is a deep transition of self.
Taurus Rising
Your body and your mind are speaking to you this week. Your days are speaking to you. Your habits, rituals, and connection with practical movement are speaking to you. These are all ready to shift you into a state of being that supports your mind, body, and heart while also moving you in your desired direction.
Gemini Rising
This week is a reminder that you are a channel for creativity, inspiration, and art. How does that truth feel in your body? Let the creative force of life move through you, bringing fulfillment and play throughout the process.
Cancer Rising
This week brings the kind of insights and shifts that change the very foundations of the self. They reach inward, nurturing your entire being. Any spaces that allow a release of the past—journaling, therapy, inner child connection, meditation, narrative rewriting, and other nervous system tending—will support you in rewriting your future.
Leo Rising
The mind is a spectacular tool. This week invites you to open yours and tuning into your chosen station as if it was an antenna, open to new ideas, perspectives, and truths floating in the cosmos and waiting to be seen by you. Your weekly horoscope brings a shift to the world that is your mind. The more open you allow yourself to be, the easier the shift will move through you.
Virgo Rising
It’s a week that wants you to finally, truly, completely know your worth. To arrive at a way of being where there is no questioning, doubt, or fear that you are anything but the value you intrinsically hold. It invites a new level of safety in your body, and a new level of trust in your resources and security.
Libra Rising
It is very much your week. Everything taking place in our cosmos is taking place in your first house of self, where identity, self-perception, vitality, purpose, and approach to life is opening. Allow what no longer feels true to begin to fall away so that whatever does feel aligned can come forward.
Scorpio Rising
It’s a week that invites slowing down, where whispers can be heard and where life can move through your heart with greater openness. There is a release desiring to take place, one that includes the closing of chapters and reconnecting with the sacred. May this week hold you in a slow, sacred dance.
Sagittarius Rising
This week represents vast new ideas, potentials, and cosmic guidance, if you’re open to it. Your sense of community, collaboration, and connection are inviting something new. It’s a week to look far and wide, dream openly and playfully, and connect with your chosen people. Let yourself play with your ideas and desires, visions and intuition.
Capricorn Rising
It’s a big week for your long-term dreams, for the life you are building, and for your sense of purpose and impact. There are vast shifts, beginning with insights and information streaming through the cazimi and continuing with a different way of being awaiting you under the eclipse. Remain receptive, curious, and adaptable.
Aquarius Rising
This week is all about a higher perspective calling your name. It’s about life itself seeming to hold messages, insights, and truths that will shift your inner cosmology, sense of belonging, and understanding of existence. It’s a time to explore your own beliefs about life and your place in it, whether through journalling or conversation.
Pisces Rising
Your weekly horoscope feels like a release. A transformation. A self-reclamation. A new conversation between the conscious and unconscious knowing living deep within you. It’s a week that invites intimacy with yourself and with life, that asks you to strip away the layers holding you back from feeling, seeing, and intuiting. Listen even more closely to the unseen.
