Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for Sept. 9th – 11th

by Jeff Jawer

Our minds are likely to push feelings into the background on Friday, favoring conceptual conversations and intellectual pursuits over sappy sentiment and unnecessary drama. The Moon is in cool-as-a-cucumber Aquarius where we don’t want to be emotionally crowded and require a certain amount of personal space. The Water Bearer is a friendly sign that appears open and accessible to almost everyone, yet has a strong independent streak as well. Cerebral Mercury’s entry into discerning Virgo very early on Friday is another indicator that heads rule over hearts now.

The theme is very different on Saturday, even while the Moon is still visiting air-conditioned Aquarius. A lunar conjunction with magical Neptune can melt away objectivity and entice us to enter a world of dreams. Escapes into fantasylands of imagination can inspire lovers or mislead them with misplaced expectations. The Moon enters soulful Pisces in the middle of day, dissolving the last edges of repressive reason as boundaries and barriers between people gently give way. A kind of cosmic connection becomes possible as agendas are set aside to discover moments of bliss that can arise without effort. Tread carefully; emotional openness may lead some into misinterpreting mere kindness as romantic interest.

Fortunately, astrology’s most amorous planetary pair, Venus and Mars, hook up in a sexy sextile on Saturday night, creating the perfect environment for a playful time. It’s easy to dance with the one you’re with or to approach someone new for a pleasant interaction without pressure. A gentle afterglow lingers with the Pisces Moon on Sunday to encourage more unconditional sharing. The lines between physical and spiritual attraction may be blurred, but living joyfully in the moment, without expectations, makes it safe to be uncertain.
