The week ahead is a mixed bag. There are highs and lows. The Sun in Virgo aligns with the South Node of Destiny on September 10th, making us feel less confident. The following day, Mercury in Virgo connects with the South Node of Destiny, adding miscommunications. The Sun and Mercury aspect Jupiter in Cancer on September 12th, energizing our auras. The Sun and Mercury link up on the 13th, bringing clarity and understanding. September 14’s Last Quarter Moon in Gemini helps us communicate our sentiments with ease.

Witch-tips

Written by Bri Luna

With the Sun and Mercury brushing up against the South Node early in the week, old stories and shadow patterns may resurface. Instead of letting insecurity or miscommunication spiral, use this as a mirror. Write down the beliefs you’ve outgrown, then burn or bury the page to signal release.

When the Sun and Mercury align with Jupiter on the 12th, amplify the fresh space you’ve created. Light a white candle, speak an affirmation of expansion (“I step into clarity, confidence, and growth”), and imagine your aura widening with golden light.

By the Last Quarter Moon in Gemini on the 14th, your words will carry power. Cast a simple spell of communication: anoint your throat with a drop of honey or herbal tea, and speak aloud what you do want, whether to yourself, a partner, or the Universe.

Aries

While you will feel motivated to couple up, don’t put pressure on the matter. Even if you're feeling lonely, avoid the temptation to return to toxic situations or triangular situations, as the comfort you feel will be fleeting and can ultimately get in the way of your next great love.

Taurus

This is a time in which you can discuss your passions without hesitation. Don’t shy away from discussing the taboo, as it may prove to be beneficial to helping create a deeper dynamic with your partner. You’ll find that confidence-boosting activities like affirmations heighten your self-esteem and give you strength.

Gemini

This week, power dynamics and struggles with others are a theme — especially when the Moon moves into Aries from Monday to Wednesday, heightening emotions and taking matters to the extreme as your desires are ignited. Be aware of how far you can manage to take things at the moment.

Cancer

You may have many intense and perhaps even vivid dreams this week. Keep your journal near the bed so you can voice record the events in your slumber in a voice memo app and pay attention to any synchronicities that could be a premonition. There is meaning in your visions.

Leo

You can be yourself this week without any criticism from friends, family, or coworkers. In fact, living your best life means embracing all of your parts and freely and willfully sharing them with everyone instead of hiding who you truly are. The more you are honest and real, the better.

Virgo

Your heart has no limits, and your generosity has no bounds. Be prepared to fall deep into the rapturous waves and emotional tides of love. Be careful not to drown in another, so test the waters before diving in. You don’t have to hurry matters, they will happen in time.

Libra

This week’s energy is giving you the opportunity to be assertive in relationships by flaring up with passion and excitement. A relationship is based on more than just one person, so be open to hear what they have to say if you also want them to listen to your opinions.

Scorpio

Conversations with others will be more productive, so use the harmony-boost to have important conversations, charm your love interest, smooth out tension with a coworker, or just to enjoy your connections. You’re likely to self-sacrifice your needs and allow people to push their agendas on you in the days ahead.

Sagittarius

You should use this week to reconnect with yourself and the things you desire most. This is also a good time to acknowledge your strengths and shed any feelings you may have around unworthiness. The good vibes will continue to roll in throughout the days ahead, bringing a newfound self-esteem.

Capricorn

All your feelings, thoughts and conversations can float around in your head and make you feel like the possibilities are endless. While they are, you still have to organize your assessments to make decisions. Keep a pen and paper nearby as you’re engaging in these conversations and receiving these downloads.

Aquarius

As long as you are clear about what you want, then you shouldn’t have an issue attaining your innermost dreams. You have the drive and determination to succeed. Make your visions happen by defining them and setting the intention to achieve them. You will see them come to life shortly.

Pisces

The only thing that could hold you back is fear. Vocalizing phobias and reservations may be hard. Therefore, it’s important to keep your feelings in check and to understand the underlying issues or reasons that you are feeling this way. It’ll be easy to connect with close friends and family.
