Weekly Astrology Forecast — September 23, 2024 – September 29, 2024

Forecast

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of September 23, 2024 – September 29, 2024:

This week starts on Monday with Venus leaving Libra behind and moving into Scorpio. Venus is not always comfortable in Scorpio, the sign of its detriment. This placement is often misunderstood due to preconceived notions about how Venus (the planet associated with love, romance, affection and beauty) is supposed to behave.

There are many positive aspects with this placement, but because the dark side of Scorpio is prone to trust issues, jealousy, possessiveness and control, it can manifest as less than favorable. Still there’s more passion, depth, intensity and intimacy in this archetype than any other Venus placement, so don’t give into your fears. Let your guard down, open your heart, and be willing to take a walk on the wild side.

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of September 16, 2024 – September 22, 2024:

This week starts with Venus opposing Chiron and Mars squaring the North and South Nodes on Monday. The Venus / Chiron  opposition  describes a need to establish clearer boundaries and identify your own personal values reverberates. Are you struggling with doubts and insecurities about your own self-worth? Or are you striving to let go of associations that have held you back or prevented you from achieving personal fulfillment? These are Venus opposite Chiron motifs.

And then there’s the Mars / Nodal Square which can be volatile and unpredictable. In classical astrology, any planet squaring the Node is seen as being “at the bendings.” It’s said to indicate crisis, with emphasis on the concept of fate. As Mars represents energy, action and drive, this can be a high energy transit that manifests that translates as combative or explosive energies. Things can get heated — in both your personal relationships and on the planet — as Mars is also still out of bounds.

September 2024 monthly horoscopes

This month begins with a new Moon on September 2 at 11° Virgo 04′ and Uranus going stationery retrograde at 27° Taurus 15′. Both are in earth signs so there’s some natural between them but as Uranus rules unexpected events, rebellions, social consciousness, as well as earth changes and out of the blue big events, any of which can be more than a bit unsettling.

Uranus will back up over Algol — considered a very negative star in the Perseues constellation — for the 2nd time next month, and will cross it for the third and final time in May of 2025. So we still have some tumultuous times ahead, as the upheaval lasts through that time period. It will affect the fixed signs between 20 and 29 degrees the most, so if you have a planet, the ascendant or the angular house cusp within those degrees, look out, you might have some big surprises in store.

There’s a partial solar eclipse on the full Moon of September 17th, at 25° Pisces 41′ with the Moon conjunct Neptune. This has a spacey kind of energy with the Neptune vibe but the Moon is also hemmed in between the North Node and Saturn, two malefics, creating a bottle neck of energy that doesn’t express with ease, like between a rock and a hard place. With Neptune in the mix there could very well be some kind of deception going on. Just keep breathing as this will pass.

On a lighter note, Venus is in Libra, a sign she rules and is now appearing as the brilliant and beautiful evening star, visible right after sunset in the western sky. She will be moving towards an air trine with Jupiter in Gemini between September 11 through the 21st. It’s a great time for social events but be careful about overindulging in everything pleasurable! But how bad can that be?
