September 12-18 | Balancing your Mind and Body
Good morning, dear reader! 🌙
First — thank you to everyone who joined me at the New Moon Circle. It was such a lovely gathering and I am so glad we got to be in that space together. 🌟
Second — we did it! The Eclipse Portal is officially closed! At the New Moon Circle on Thursday we reflected on what this last cycle brought us — and if you have not yet taken the opportunity to look back on what you learned about yourself and your creativity, I invite you to do so this weekend. Even just a few sentences may help you recognize patterns that are beginning to emerge. We will continue to have Eclipses in Leo and Aquarius for the next few years, so the more familiar you become with your own themes the more helpful it will be. 🌑
I always choose a picture that represents what I feel the energy will be like for the coming week or the cycle the Moon is in. This week there are a lot of opportunities Mercury is giving us to bring balance to our minds — so I chose this image of mindfulness by a window. Sometimes it really is easier to pause and soften our gaze when we are trying to be present with a situation. 🌿
With the Virgo New Moon cycle now in full swing it is possible to tap into the things that keep us on track. And with Mercury connecting with the other planets throughout this week there may be some beautiful downloads on how to bring harmony not only to yourself but to the collective at large too. 🌙

🌟September 14 -15, 2026| Scorpio Moon
The Moon: Under a Scorpio Moon in Virgo Season so much healing can be easily accessed. Virgo wants to focus on all the finer details while Scorpio loves the deep conversations that may bring those details to light. Through those conversations the healing can begin. ❤️🩹
How to work with it: Scorpio is a Water sign that can feel frozen at times. If tears happen they could come from frustration. In modern astrology Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto — which means as a parent you could see power struggles at times. If this happens one way to navigate it is by offering a choice so they feel like they have some say in the matter. 🌊
On Monday the Sun makes a beautiful aspect to Mars — our drive and determination — in the afternoon. With Mars in Cancer it can look like practical protection energy along with a desire to move your body. I highly recommend that! Just be aware of any triggers that could come up throughout the day and take a beat to figure out whether the energy is yours or someone else's. 🔥
On Tuesday Venus forms her first of many squares to Pluto. I say many because she is in her pre-shadow period before her retrograde — so we will feel this energy at least three times in total before she moves on over the next several months. Venus represents our relationships and finances in our charts while Pluto likes to make big things small and small things big. This is a great time to pull out the 3 Step Retrograde Activation Mini Workbook to track what you observe. 🌟
This square can show up as power struggles, issues around control or jealousy, an uptick in desire with passionate highs and lows, and even the ability to see or release toxic relationships to reclaim your self-worth if that is needed. The house where 3° Scorpio falls in your chart may indicate the area of life being highlighted.
Later in the day Neptune makes a beautiful angle to Pluto — which could feel like gentle support for your spiritual goals and psyche, and result in offering a courageous vision for what you would love your future self to be for you and your community. 🌊✨
Last but not least at 10:29 pm CT the Moon slips into a 13 hour, 12 minute Void of Course window until 11:41 am CT Wednesday. If you have a lot going on Wednesday morning it may be helpful to make a to-do list before going to bed. And pay attention to your dreams — they may be especially insightful during this Void of Course period. 🌙
✨ September 16–17, 2026 | Sagittarius Moon
The Moon: Wednesday can feel like a two-act day as we move from the potential fogginess of the Void of Course Moon into a Sagittarius Moon. 🏹
How to work with it: Under a Sagittarius Moon we can want to dive into the big ideas, say yes to joy and fun, and explore philosophical questions. The Virgo Sun likes to refine those big ideas into small practical details — and hence there could be a frustration building as we move toward the First Quarter Moon happening on Friday afternoon. If things get hard, moving your body in some way may be helpful, especially if it means taking a walk in nature. 🌿
Other energy:
On Thursday Chiron — the Wounded Healer who represents our old hurts from childhood or past lifetimes — dips back into Aries. While in Aries we as a collective may feel like we are healing parts of ourselves around who we are at our core. With this happening during a retrograde it can feel like moving from healing work around material security and revisiting the things we have worked on — one more time — regarding personal identity, courage, and ego healing. Aries is the "I am" of the zodiac after all, so this is another opportunity to discover for yourself what that means for you. ❤️🩹
Know that this is not a journey you need to walk alone — if it feels heavy please reach out to a trusted friend, therapist, or loved one. You do not have to figure it all out by yourself. 🌙
✨September 18, 2026| Sagittarius First Quarter
The Moon: We have felt this energy building for the last two days — and it peaks at 3:43 pm CT at 25° Sagittarius. Straight after 3:43 pm CT the Moon slips into a Void of Course window until 11:54 pm CT when she moves into Capricorn, setting us up for a very grounded start to the weekend. 🏹
How to work with it: First Quarter Moons can feel like a frustration and a push around something that was activated at the Virgo New Moon. What is that big idea that needs refining — and how could it lead to a better system for your daily life? If something is coming up for you, write it down. It can absolutely be part of this current Moon cycle. 🌿
Other energy:
On Friday morning — which may have been building since Thursday — prior to the First Quarter Moon there will be a square from Mercury to Saturn. Squares can feel like friction or a push between planets just like they do within the Moon cycle. With these two it can feel like your mind through Mercury wants to be polite and agreeable while also creating boundaries that may feel a little harsh at times through Saturn Retrograde.
The way to work with these two is to talk about what is weighing on you with patience and personal accountability. You may need to double check your boundaries or figure out what is real and what is not. If something feels unfair, can you talk about it in a way that brings fairness back into the light? If you are not sure how or where to begin, writing it out may help you figure that out too. 📝
With this happening before the First Quarter Moon you can also lean into where the "yes" is in the conversation — the Sagittarius Moon helps us with our temperament after all. She is always there to support us. 🌙
✨ In Closing:
This week has a lot of heart to it — and a lot going on between the ears too. From the healing depths of the Scorpio Moon to the big philosophical ideas of the Sagittarius Moon, with Mercury talking to just about everyone along the way, balancing your mind and your body is the theme. Moving your body when things feel heavy. Writing things down when your head is full. Going outside when it all feels like too much. Simple things. Virgo things. 🌿
Venus squaring Pluto for the first of several times is a reminder that her pre-shadow is very much underway. If things are coming up around your relationships, finances, or values — write them down. The 3 Step Retrograde Activation Mini Workbook is a great place to start tracking what you are noticing. 🌟
Chiron dipping back into Aries is a gentle but significant reminder that the healing work around our personal identity and courage is not quite finished — and that is okay. These things take the time they take. ❤️🩹
The Deeper Dive into the Angles and your Libra House is this Saturday September 19th at 11 am CT — Libra Season is just around the corner and the timing feels just right. I would love to see you there. All the details are in the Link to All Things. 🌙
Until next week — breathe, balance, and be gentle with yourself. ⚖️🌿
with love and stardust,
Sarah
