Summary:
We may need to face the consequences of letting something go, or wastefulness in some area of life, with Mercury in alignment with Saturn and forming a square with Neptune. Saturn and Neptune are approaching a square, and we’re likely to be feeling some of this energy now. There can be a search for meaning with this influence, as we may need to adjust our goals or refocus. This cannot be done all at once, so it’s important to take the pressure off and simplify so as not to feel overwhelmed.
Today can be on the tough side with Pluto stationing and a Mars-Saturn square slowing us down.
This is a day for opening up to new ways of approaching our lives, and especially our relationships and resources.
The Moon is in Capricorn all day (until Wednesday, September 23rd, at 1:51 PM).
The Moon is waxing and in its First Quarter phase.
A First Quarter Moon occurred yesterday, and a Full Moon /Lunar Eclipse will occur on the 27th.
Venus turned direct on September 6th and is in its post-retrograde shadow until October 9th.
Mercury is retrograde (Mercury is retrograde from September 17-October 9 in Libra).
The Sun will enter Libra tomorrow.
Jupiter opposes Neptune early into the day. I’ve discussed the Jupiter-Neptune opposition in the horoscopes for the 14th. Mercury turns retrograde today, which I’ve discussed in yesterday’s horoscopes (September 16th horoscopes – Mercury retrograde). Saturn re-enters Sagittarius today. Saturn first entered the sign of the Archer on December 23, 2014 but retrograded back into Scorpio on June 14, 2015. Saturn will now finish its transit of Sagittarius uninterrupted until December 20, 2017.

Retrograde Venus and the Sun align in the sign of Leo today, and we symbolically begin anew when it comes to our relationships and values. This is a time for redefining what we want and need, particularly from relationships but also material affairs and goals.
Mercury is moving towards a trine to Pallas, and soon will form a trine with Vesta as well and these aspects happen in all three creative Fire signs. This is a strong configuration for communications and thinking. There is a good balance between learning from tradition and modern thinking now. Timing is good, and we might be making strong decisions related to work or long-term projects.
The Moon is in bold Sagittarius all day, and we can be quite spirited, and perhaps desiring to escape the routine. However, the Mercury-Neptune quincunx can leave us in a state of feeling divided or undecided.
Venus and Uranus are about to station as they turn retrograde, tomorrow and the next day, respectively. As we adjust to these changes of direction, we may not be seeing things clearly. Today’s energies are mostly very creative.

It’s the first day of a new astrological month as the Sun enters the midsummer sign of Leo the Lion. The Sun is most at home in Leo, where it represents the open heart experiencing pure love. One problem associated with Leo is being so full of our own energy that we lose sight of others. We can feel like a beautiful garden flower in full bloom, but we crave appreciation. We need to be seen.

Emotions begin to stir coupled with recognizing that the new beginnings you are making must also increase personal security to be worthwhile over the long haul. This is a time when it’s appropriate to get in touch with your gut instincts and begin to guide your life more deliberately, with an awareness of using your “sixth sense” as well as your enthusiasm. Obstacles may emerge that require you to reevaluate how to better integrate yourself into your immediate environment.
