THIS WEEK’S TRANSITS:

mentally draining week, especially for people pleasers

0914 | SUN OPPOSITE NEPTUNE RX

sun in virgo opposite neptune rx in pisces can bring mental fog or confusion to some that may cause you to float aimlessly through life or lack motivation and drive to work toward your goals. if you're feeling called to rest or take a moment to yourself — because sun opposite neptune rx could make you feel ungrounded or more tired during this time — then do that!

it's also possible that with this transit, you can hear truths being sugar-coated (people being deceptive or you may feel easily deceived by others), leaving you with a lack of clarity, so this is not the best time to make big decisions.

sidenote: with sun opposite neptune rx, you really want to be cautious of being drawn to self-destructive behaviors such as substance abuse, escapism, or temptation for secret affairs when the going gets tough this week.

warning: people pleasers and fellow readers need to be aware of wounded individuals being drawn to your willingness to help others during this time; sun opposite neptune will amplify this, so don't find yourself getting taken advantage of!

0914 | MARS ENTERS LIBRA

when mars enters libra, we begin to focus on the actions we choose to take in our relationship to bring fairness and harmony to the forefront (impulse to argue vs the impulse to hold off on arguments to sustain the peace, flowing with the way the relationship is unfolding vs forcing the dynamic to reflect how we want it to). this is definitely a transit you want to be cautious with because some people may seem like they have good intentions, but it’s really disguised with a personal agenda. mars in libra can also influence you to wanna weigh out the pros and cons (or hesitate) before you act on something, so things can get a bit frustrating as you try to negotiate with yourself during this time.

another thing with mars in libra is that some of us could find ourselves. going great lengths for approval or to gain admiration from others and i'm saying this as a warning for those who have a tendency to gossip about other people — don't allow this energy to fuel you to say things just to get other people to be on your side. i keep hearing "misery loves company", don't be that person.

sidenote: don't forget to read my september energy forecast on lotusrising.co to read my predictictions for when mars enters libra.

0916 | SUN TRINE PLUTO RX

sun in virgo trine pluto rx in capricorn makes me question: what have we created out of the things in our life that were destroyed? (whether it's our plans, our ideas, our sense of self, etc.)

sun trine pluto rx wants us to check-in and see where have we been growing and how we're honoring those changes we've made — with the sun in virgo trine pluto, we need to look at where our growth has impacted our health (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual) for the better after we've allowed pluto to come into our lives and destroy what was no longer serving us.

this is also a time where we can find the energetic support we need to help us continue making efforts toward self-improvement as we feel more driven to transform our ego.

suggestion: this week is a great time to get a reading from your favorite spiritualists as their insight could really help you step into your power and change your life.

0917 | VENUS SQUARE SATURN RX

venus in scorpio square saturn rx in aquarius can be very challenging for those who are dealing with relationship issues that are putting the focus on where you feel restricted, frustrated, or disappointed with your partner. this is not the time to push one another's buttons because venus in scorpio will bring up underlying fears, insecurities, or suppressed emotions that'll influence you to initiate conflict, which could involve a lot of projecting, very intense arguments, or sudden decisions being made as a boundary flex. do not let your expectations for results within your relationship take you away from being patient or mature in this situation.

venus in scorpio square saturn rx in aquarius can also highlight on the unhappiness that comes from feeling limited on attracting luxurious lifestyles, deep/intimate relationships, or financial wealth. some may feel discouraged or pressured as you try to find the strength to push through any of these obstacles.

sidenote: we can see this energy (not transit) probably lasting until the end of the year or near the end of the year, so pay attention to the themes you experience.
