Be aware that there’s a Pisces new moon and a lunar eclipse, which can lead to fights and even sudden endings, on Tuesday, September 17. This isn’t a day for partying or having important, relationship-defining discussions. The day after the eclipse, when we are still feeling its effects, on Wednesday, September 18, your ruling planet, strict Saturn, opposes (a challenging aspect) the communication planet Mercury. All in all, this week is a really bad time to try to talk things out. If a friend or partner is pushing you to have emotional conversations, you’re allowed to implement boundaries and ask to wait until later in the month when things calm down.
And things really do calm down. When Libra season begins on Sunday, September 22 (this date is the fall equinox, when the day and night are of equal hours, and Mabon, the witchy Thanksgiving), the sun moves into your ambitious 10th House. This means that you can go ahead with any necessary conversations in your personal life and indicates that professional opportunities could arise.
The fun, light-hearted vibes continue when loving Venus shifts into your 11th House of Friendship on Sunday, September 22. The next few weeks see you catching up with old friends, perhaps someone from out of town, or even traveling to visit loved ones yourself. You work hard, Capricorn, but with Venus in your 11th House, allow yourself some socialization, too.
You’ll be pleased to know that the month ends on a note that is advantageous for business negotiations. The divine messenger Mercury moves into your ambitious 10th House on Thursday, September 26, which helps your words drip with honey, gives your conversations an assertive nature, and is a perfect time to ask for a raise, promotion, or the better work/life balance that you’ve been after. We’ll see you in October.
