but the Sun in Virgo II insists on us first finding clarity, developing precision, and working through process: dreams aren’t enough without a solid framework to sustain them!
So, at this eclipse the Moon in Pisces II longs to dissolve boundaries, to revel in connection, to gather all the sweetness of life in its net…
Here we get Venus’s eye for beauty and Saturn’s demand for durability — those who navigate this decan successfully find themselves enriched by their creations and empowered by their ability to bring lasting works to life.
The Nine of Pentacles corresponds with this face and speaks to the material and personal rewards of hard work, independence and mastery — but also the solitude and perfectionism that often accompanies success.
And opposite, across the sky, the Sun falls in the second decan of Virgo, co-ruled by Venus and Saturn. Where Pisces II is all about abundance and flow, Virgo II sharpens its focus on craft, refinement and the discipline necessary for creation. Here, beauty and endurance are forged under pressure.
In this space, we see the fruits of the journey gathered, the feast after the effort, the dream made manifest. But we’re also reminded that what is gathered can slip away if it isn’t integrated wisely…
the Moon’s instinct for connection weave together into a web of longing, desire and fulfillment. It’s the face we associate with the Nine of Cups — often called the “wish card” where satisfaction and sweetness are possible, but where excess or complacency can just as easily tip the balance.
On 7th September, the Lunar Eclipse will perfect at 15°24’ Pisces, right in the heart of the second decan, co-ruled by Jupiter and the Moon. This is one of the most abundant and emotionally rich parts of the zodiac, where Jupiter’s generosity and…

A conversation, thought or quiet realisation might help tie the day together and allow us to process Saturn’s re-entry to Pisces before we drift off to sleep.
Then just before midnight, the Moon forms a steady trine to Mercury in Leo. This is a fleeting but helpful aspect, offering a small spark of clarity after the void.
After testing the threshold of Aries since late May, Saturn now retreats into Pisces until early next year — check out September’s Monthly Astrology Report for more on this transit. www.the-wild-way.com/monthly-astr...
And there’s perhaps good reason that the sky is so quiet today… it’s as if the hush reflects the gravitas of the next piece of the puzzle to be put in place. This void period grants us the space to feel into the huge shift that Saturn stepping back into Pisces brings this morning!
If your focus feels a little hazy or if your efforts don’t quite stick, you can blame the Moon! It’s not the best time for pushing new plans forward, but it is excellent for maintenance, reflection or simply letting the day unfold gently.
MONDAY 🌝 With the Moon drifting void of course from late last night until almost midnight tonight, Monday has a kind of muted, background quality as if the cosmos has pressed pause for the day.
After this, the Moon drifts void of course through the night, inviting you to let things taper off and wind down naturally...
By late evening, the Moon makes a supportive sextile to Mars in Libra, offering a subtle boost of drive and motivation. This could look like tying up loose ends, moving your body or tackling a small but satisfying task before bed.
Often, first quarter Moons can stir tension or friction, but their purpose is to move us forward. You might feel the pressure to adjust course, refine your plans or make a decision about where to put your energy this coming week. Thankfully the rest of the day provides a little more ease.
Then not long after dawn, we reach the first quarter Moon, a classic turning point in the lunar cycle. With the Moon in fiery Sagittarius squaring the Sun in earthy Virgo, there’s a push–pull between broad vision and practical detail.
SUNDAY 🌞 Sunday begins with a gentle trine between the Moon in Sagittarius and Venus in Leo during the early hours. Many of us will be asleep as this perfects, so you might wake feeling a little softer or more open to connection, as though you’ve received a gentle loving hug overnight. #astrology
A keen eyed follower spotted that Venus and Mars are in a sextile aspect on 16 September rather than conjunct (oops!) so please save and use this version instead! 🙏✨
You're so right! 🙃

I’ve been away on a retreat so haven’t been posting! Thank you! ☺️
Thank you! 🥰🙏✨
Yes thank you!! I’ve been away and not online at all, and just a few days away from the internets I realise how much it drains me being here all the time. So… time to disconnect for a bit!
Yes all good thank you!! 🥰🙏✨
I’ve been receiving some very loud "stay off the internet" messages, so please excuse me while I disappear for a bit! I’ll still post my weekly moon update and maybe the odd decan thing but gonna lean in and just heed the advice because it’s been very persistent! 😅
😶🌫️🙏✨😂
I was wondering where you’d been 🫶
something something spiritual retreat, something something 12H activation… *dramatically walks backwards into the fog and disappears*
Ahhhh congratulations! So happy to hear the news 😍🙏✨
ONE way (not the only way) we can think about the Lunar Nodes is that where we find Ketu is where we are uptight around the topic of the house Ketu is in...Where we find Rahu is where we are 'false' or not authentically expressing oursevles with regards to the topic of the house Rahu is in....
🙂↕️🙂↕️🙏🙏
😂
It seems to me that one of the most radical things you can possibly do while Saturn is in Aries… is rest.
I hear you! My one and only Covid infection was picked up *while* wearing a mask, but sitting next to someone who very clearly shouldn’t have been flying, urgh. So selfish.
Exactly! So much snivelling and coughing going on around me, no thanks!!
Aww 👋👋👋
Thanks!
THE HOUSES GUIDEBOOK IS HERE!!! If you have been looking for a resource that will guide you through the meanings, stories and significations of the houses then your search is officially over.
I mean I get it… it’s hot, uncomfortable and difficult to breathe but the alternative?! Nahhhh…
I’m flying through Schiphol today, a MAJOR international flight hub and passed by hundreds of people during my time here… I’ve counted *four* in masks, that’s it 🙃
“The new member of the lunar gang, announced Tuesday by NASA, appears to be just six miles (10 kilometers) wide.” TINY 😭
A tiny baby ickle dinky wee Moon 🥹👉👈
Oh a fun hack: talk to your body like the intelligent being it is. Sometimes we live so much in our minds it’s hard to get back into the physical self. A simple way to build the bridge (I find) is to talk to the body. Relate to it. Ask it what it needs and wants.
It’s freezing here!!
The moon today be like
Vesta conjunct Juno in the sky right now at tropical Scorpio 19°39' and 19°57' respectively. Vesta = intensified focus and dedication. Shadow of this would be obsession. Vesta is the hearth-flame and can symbolize where in our lives we seek or embody purity, integrity, authenticity.
Vesta is applying to Juno and this conjunction will perfect early in the morning (like 4am) on 21st August here in the UK ✨

Honey, wake up, a brand new Threads of Fate episode is out! We’ve made it to the decans of Taurus and in this one we’re looking at Taurus I!
The email is going out tonight so it's your last chance to join the waitlist! And... to take advantage of a huuuuuuuuuuuuge discount on a reading!
Aww, such a lovely memory 🥰
“It’s very hard to predict what the exact impacts are going to be for different species, but it is very worrying, because the seasonal cycle is completely out of whack at the moment and our wildlife is not adapted to that, so it’s definitely much more chaotic for them,” she said.
These were collected from an area where there’s a natural spring running under the ground… away from that though they’re all tiny, shrivelled and look very sad.
Yesterday I collected a huge tub of beautifully plump and completely ripe blackberries… it’s August, and I’m in Scotland. Delicious, but not normal…
Totally, although because I have rosacea (ASC ruler conj. Mars) at least it just kind of blends in 😂🍅
Aww 🫶
Urgh, we are being PLAGUED. Mars like…
Noooooo 😫
Mars transiting my 1H has resulted in a SPOT randomly appearing on my face, totally clear skin for months and months and months (since I discovered a skincare routine that actually works — thanks Saturn!) but now *this* so rude…
But the mood shifts by early evening as the Moon enters Cancer, turning the dial toward something quieter, more sensitive and emotionally attuned. However, the initial part of this homecoming for the Moon isn’t so sweet! Her ingress is quickly followed by…
Oh yeah, can’t wait…
Hehe right?! 🥹
(although now high on materia fumes lol)
Solidarity 🤜🤛 (Virgo Moon Dad)
👩🔬✨✨✨
(and in your 12H 😣)
YESSSSSSS 🍾✨
me to me: well, Mercury will be in Virgo in a few weeks so you should *probably* just y’know wait… to do your accounts…
Fantastic!
Pulippani, one of the great Tamil Siddhars, composed a profound astrological treatise in 300 poems. His work is very rich and here is my translation of the very first poem.
Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.
Mwahahaha!
The working week begins with the Moon still wandering through Gemini and forming a square to the lunar nodes just after midnight. Although you may be asleep, this could feel as though you're standing at a crossroads, sensing the tug of both past and future.
On Sunday, the Moon continues through Gemini making two harmonious aspects in the early hours of the day — first a sextile to Mercury, followed by a trine to Mars just fifteen minutes later. While many will be asleep, these aspects may still thread themselves through your… #astrology #witchsky

This may bring a somewhat crunchy edge to the evening so if you're feeling squeezed, low or frustrated, give yourself permission to retreat and take it easy. Lean in to lunar comforts… run a bath, prepare some nice snacks and get cosy for the night.
The square to Saturn also initiates a malefic besiegement where the Moon becomes trapped between Saturn and Mars, her next contact not arriving until just after midnight.
a square to Saturn, and then Neptune — two contacts that may feel heavy, sobering or potentially confusing. You might hit an emotional wall, feel a wave of doubt or experience a dip energy or confidence.

swirling or uncertain, this aspect might bring a gentle sense of integration or understanding — like all the disparate puzzle pieces suddenly make a bit more sense.
the words to form or the courage to press play on something, this aspect may help move things forward. Around lunchtime, the Moon’s final aspect in Gemini is a sweet sextile to the Sun, offering a little cohesion after the more scattered energy of the weekend. If something’s been…
By early morning, Mercury in Leo connects with Mars in Libra (for the second time in a week!)) via a supportive sextile creating an energising boost across our Leo and Libra houses. If you’ve been sitting on a decision, waiting for…

slightly diffuse quality. It’s the kind of lunar weather that’s best for staying light on your feet, keeping plans loose and allowing space for spontaneity.
After those early morning aspects, the Moon moves through the rest of Sunday without forming any further major contacts. The lack of planetary interaction can give the day a meandering or…

This is also *very* Scorpio Moon coded behaviour 🌝
I just love the fact that this event is taking place while Mercury and Mars are in an unusually long, multi-day sextile… www.reuters.com/sports/robot...
Nessus!
Oh I’m no stranger to Pluto energy lol, it’s stationary in my chart 😅
Nice!!
