Early evening, the Sun in Virgo inc Saturn Rx in Aries in the 7th & 2nd houses. An inc (inconjunct) is a major aspect indicating that balance requires an adjustment. These signs are totally unrelated, sharing neither quality, element, nor are both active or passive. 

This occurs on the thirteenth degree, attributed to Aries as an expression of personal goals and acting to manifest. The Degree Theory was invented by astrologer Nikola Stojanovic and is endorsed by astrologers such as Emily Ridout, an astrologer and yoga teacher who founded Astroyoga. 

I’ll also be exploring Lynda Hill's Sabian Symbols as part of this discernment. 

The required adjustments could be attitude, habitual pattern, and/or conditions in relation to the planets: The Sun and Saturn, portending a karmic, heart-centered interaction; however, these celestial satellites also represent ego and limitations, indicating the potential for pride and/or defensiveness. 

The houses in question, 7th & 2nd, indicate these adjustments involve relationships, finances, and/or possessions affecting our safety and stability.

Hill’s Sabian Symbol for Aries 13° sheds additional insight and confirms the above:

A SERPENT COILING NEAR A MAN AND A WOMAN

This Symbol shows that there is likely to be tense emotion, particularly around relationships. There can be a sense of tension, fear and passion. [ . . . ] You may need to learn to let go and find new depths to your ways of relating and relationships. [ . . . ]

Enticement. Allurement. The revelation of archetypal knowledge that may not be ‘socially acceptable’. Temptations. Heated emotions. Passion. Kundalini energy.

Feeling guilty about being afraid to express your feelings. Basic instincts and sexual energy. Jealousy. Using passion as a controlling device, etc.

We are more apt to think and act negatively when insecure, regardless of the situation. This aspect requires not just honest communication but receiving with an open heart, non-defensively. It also compels us to honestly evaluate our own emotions, fears, doubts, and insecurities to see if our past could be contributing to the discord.

If so, how can we adjust our perception and/or actions? Are we relying on someone else to change and carry the burden of our happiness.

Adjustments translate to change, not just promises.

This week’s going to be heavy with astrology, particularly Thursday: New Moon in Virgo, Uranus stations retrograde, Venus enters Scorpio, and Mercury enters Libra, so I’ll be spreading these discussions out. 

And, yes, this all happens Thursday, September 10

Uranus initially entered Gemini July 2025; however, re-entered Taurus during a retrograde the following November. It re-entered Gemini for the final time in April 2026, where it will remain until 2033.

This Uranus retrograde in Gemini will last until February 08, 2027, and include themes of inner awakening, deep dives into topics of interest, inclusive visions, and exploring options to become more self-sufficient without alienating the collective.

Wed night we’ll experience a Dark Moon in Virgo, and Thu the New Moon in Virgo will perfect, EDT.

Note: I normally honor these celestial events separately; however, the astrology is so heavy this week, particularly with Uranus Rx, New Moon, and two planetary ingresses all on the same day, I thought it best to combine them. 

The Dark Moon in Virgo perfects late Wednesday night 11:27 PM in its natural realm, the Fourth House, a house of security and endings representing our lineage, psychological roots, private life (all that is secluded), our latter years, and the ending of all matters, including death and the place of burial. [ . . . ]

The New Moon perfects 18°25’ Virgo, @ 11:27 PM, in its Fourth House realm. The only thing that changes is the phase and decan. This phase presents motivation and inspiration with a side-helping of reality. [ . . . ]

Venus enters Scorpio early Thursday morning @ 4:07 AM, 3rd house, the natural home of Gemini ruled by Mercury, indicating a collaboration between emotion and intellect. 

Venus is in its detriment in Scorpio because it's the opposite the sign it rules (Taurus). Some astrologers believe a detrimental planet can’t operate at full power and will take on more of the sign’s than its own coloration. It’s like visiting a place where you must conform to the rules and regulations. And Scorpio has plenty of them, including secrets galore.

Intense and penetrating, Scorpio is passionately aware and probingly investigative about anything or one it is interested in. It leaves no stone unturned. With transiting Venus’ social urge and sense of value, Scorpio’s suspicious disposition can be tempered with a harmonic energy.

Mercury enters Libra Thursday afternoon @ 12:21 PM, via the Tenth house, the natural home of Capricorn ruled by Saturn. This is the realm of substance and honor, highlighting our profession, reputation, achievements, and standing in the community.

Venus-ruled Libra is represented by the major arcana card Justice, a card that has taken many alternate forms from her earliest representation in ancient Egypt. In Libra, Justice balances the diplomatic archetype and emphasizes the importance of truthful expression.

If you’ve missed my previous articles on the New Moon in Virgo, Uranus stations Retrograde, Venus enters Scorpio, and Mercury enters Libra, they’re all linked in the Nerd Report below.

Early afternoon, Venus in Scorpio opposite Chiron Rx in Aries 0°14’.  We have two things going on here: Firstly, Venus is shifting from Libran diplomacy into Scorpio’s intensely transformative energy. Though Venus is considered in her detriment here, I like to think that the 0°, symbolizing new beginnings, cancels out the detrimental aspect to a degree (no pun intended), bringing both planet and sign into a balanced harmony. 

Venus adds a gentle, outward touch to Scorpio’s passionate loyalty, and can soothe the process of healing transformation through reconciliation with Chiron’s wounded healer archetype. 

Secondly, Chiron retrograde at 0° Taurus amplifies its themes in Taurus to revisit habitual patterns we may have missed and/or to integrate what we’ve learned. A retrograde carries a different energy than a direct degree. 

Instead of a “new beginning (as with Venus entering Scorpio)” we are viewing the present through the rearview mirror for a deeper understanding or reconciliation of differences with others. 

It can literally be a pivoting period of epiphanies. This “do-over” is an opportunity to assume responsibility for our prior decisions and actions, weighing the potential of a course-correction with a new perspective.

As long as we avoid themes of jealousy, control, and possessiveness, we can create soul-deep connections and life-altering partnerships. Trust is a must in these currents. 

Venus is patron of the arts; therefore, creativity has the potential to reach the heights of expression through deeply profound insights. Because Taurus represents financial freedom, there’s also a potential to explore new resources and/or a business partnership.

The key to this aspect is to stop looking so far ahead that we don’t know what we want in the moment and miss the opportunity altogether. Don’t allow fear to prevent you from being vulnerable today. 

Communicate honestly in order to transform circumstance.

We’re still in the New Corn Moon in Virgo energy all day with an extended, 18+ hour void-of-course that began @ 1:52 AM and will end @ 7:52 PM this evening when it enters Libra.  You may experience lethargy. Don’t resist the urge to rest. 

Rest is the most important thing on today’s agenda. It’s been a heavy week of astrology and today is an emotional Remembrance (Patriot) Day for the U.S. 

Those of us who know the truth regarding the “false flag” operation of the 911 disaster will undoubtedly experience deep-seated anger and resentment over an unmitigated disaster that led to a senseless war costing more lives. 

Today, just float upon the current of your emotions, letting them rise and fall.

Late morning/early afternoon, Mercury in Libra trine Pluto Rx in Aquarius opposite Neptune Rx in Aries. 

We may feel a deep-seated need for collective connection coupled with a diplomatic effort toward uncovering truth. Our desires extend beyond self-intellect to collective consciousness.

Surface appearance and small talk possess no allure; it’s the underbelly of meaning we desire.

This afternoon our sensitivity heightens under Neptune’s influence. Epiphanies and spiritual advances are possible; however, with so much being revealed, we may feel confused by the fine line between reality and illusion. Delay life-altering or professional decisions until this energy is absorbed by clarity.

Committing ourselves to a quiet afternoon at home, or even solitude is advised to avoid the over-stimulation of groups.
