TW: SA, date rape drugs, and talk of the Motherless site
Mercury in Libra at 17° was Sextile Jupiter in Leo at 17° on Monday, September 21st, 2026 at 6:51 PM. That will still be in effect for a couple of days, but it would give an overall optimistic and cheerful vibe to communications and thought processes. It would also be a lot easier to educate people in a diplomatic and fun, over the top way. A little theatrics never hurts when trying to educate on certain topics that may not be easy to digest or may take a certain flair to get across properly. It would be great for communication in general and bring a lucky, expansive vibe to those matters. That would also go for commerce/sales and all Mercury related things and would expand on them in Leo related ways, so luck communicating with children, again, teaching, especially if you are trying to discipline in a diplomatic, fair, and balanced way that will bring about healthy, learning experiences. Jupiter is expansive, growth-oriented, and lucky. Mercury in Libra can be fair, balanced, all about equality and equity, justice, harmony, and communicating those things. Libra also rules our partnerships, all kinds, whether business or romantic, any one-on-one relationship, and so, this communication will be centered around others while Mercury is in Libra. We will want to find harmony with others while it is here. Or it can also manifest as backbiting, indecisiveness, passive-aggressiveness, and gossip if not properly channeled. So, that's something to watch for at this time. Especially because...
On September 22nd, 2026, at 8:06 PM, the Sun entered Libra, which is the Fall Equinox! Happy Fall Equinox, everyone, and to all who celebrate! Western Tropical Astrology is based off the Equinoxes and Solstices, so the Equinoxes and Solstices are a big deal in Western Tropical Astrologers' Worlds! The More You Know! 🌈 With the Sun having moved into Libra, this means that the season has arrived for balance, justice, equality, harmony, things will get more relationship centered-whether those are business relationships, romantic relationships, just relationships in general; Libra is ruled by the planet of love, Venus, which as we know, is in its Pre-Shadow Period and getting ready to go Retrograde on Saturday, October 3rd, 2026 at 3:16 AM EDT. If you missed that post, learn all about it at the link below where it will start in Scorpio and Retrograde back into Libra. Venus doesn't just rule love and relationships, but it also rules finances, banks, self-worth, hidden talents, self-esteem, material possessions, luxury, beauty, posessiveness (which is also a theme of Scorpio, so double dose), self-care, and loving not only others, but ourselves. The Sun in Libra is known for wanting to be partnered up (cuffing season!) as the weather gets colder, marriage, making things serious romantically, but with Venus Retrograde, that could be the opposite, where couples end up breaking up because things aren't supposed to be and it's a time for letting what isn't supposed to be for you go. Maybe to let something that is to be have room to come in. Maybe so you can grow on your own. Everyone's journey will be different. Venus Retrograde could also have past lovers/friends come back into your life wanting another chance, whether that's given is up to you, but it's usually a test of whether you are willing to be put through that BS again. Very few people truly change but, there are people that do, so I won't say it doesn't happen. Sometimes, things need to fall apart so both people can grow to come back together. Anyway, Libra is typically known as the peacemaker and the one that can people please just so that they don't piss people off. If you have Libra in your chart, you don't want to do that though. Stand up for yourself and make yourself happy. Don't waste your time with people who make you shrink yourself. If they don't like you as you are, why would you waste your time, bending over backwards and becoming a person that you are not? Be your beautiful self! Your people are out there! So, this season if you find yourself wanting to make peace just to please others when it violates your own boundaries, stop and think if it is really worth it to violate your own values and morals for other people. It's probably not and you'll probably find yourself a lot happier if you choose not to do that and hold to your boundaries, Libra! It can be very hard, but you can do it! You are the one that people put in the middle. Refuse to play that role unless you so choose and it makes YOU happy! That goes for everyone this season!

Sun in Libra opposite Neptune in Aries at 2°59' on Friday, September 25th, 2026 at 9:36 PM EDT. You will already be feeling this aspect as it will last for awhile. You will feel unsure in your identity and who you are and your relationship to the collective. You may feel disconnected from your dreams or you may be having really vivid or strange dreams. This is a highly unfavorable time to be getting involved in anything having to do with gurus, the occult, or religiously-inclined groups at this time as people are highly susceptible to not seeing things clearly and can be lead into illusions/delusions/lies at this time. Things are not what they seem and there is much fog around people's identities/ego/status/authority. This is also a time of feeling more exhausted and drained than usual and you will not feel like yourself. You may feel more drawn to spirituality, but that is a personal thing, and not the same as what I mentioned above. Be careful though as to what your sources are and who you are listening to at this time. Some people may try to lead you astray. Escapism, substance abuse/use, and other forms of addiction may be at a much higher level now than usual to avoid this feeling. Try not to give in, as this aspect will pass with time.
Sun in Libra Trine Pluto in Aquarius both at 3° is on Saturday, September 26th, 2026 at 1:35 AM EDT so may feel like it is following right from Friday night if you are a night owl, but this is also a transiting aspect that will be felt for awhile. This is a harmonious and easy aspect, but it involves Pluto, so it can mean that there can be a transformation and sudden change in how you identify in your own relationships, it could be that you find balance in who you are and learn to control your mindset regarding how you feel your eccentricities are played out for the world to see. Maybe you find peace with them finally. Sun is identity/ego/status/authority and we already learned all about Libra. Pluto is the Destroyer, but also transformation, the Phoenix rising from the ashes, control, power, power plays, obsession, dominance, and death and Aquarius is sudden changes, sudden shocks to the system, genius, instantaneous knowledge, computer systems, internet, electricity, nervous system, eccentricity, nonconformists, rebellion, revolution, and humanitarianism.
This also highlights 2 of the Outer Planets in aspect: Neptune in Aries Sextile Pluto in Aquarius at 3° which has been going on for a bit now and will because they are slow moving planets and that's why they are considered Generational Planets because their effects are long lasting and slow to manifest and also, they tend to go into effect over time. Neptune in Aries is producing Spiritual Warriors and Visionaries for Change when it comes to this planet, how society functions, how people are towards each other, etc; it is also producing Dreamers who Create new things that we haven't seen before-Innovators; combined with Pluto in Aquarius producing Transformations in Computer Systems which hopefully won't burn the entire world down, I mean, who hasn't the Terminator movies?! That is the era we are living in, for real, though. If only that knowledge can be harnessed for good and not destroy the Earth and its people by making them sick, that would be incredible. Because again, Pluto is the Destroyer and Aquarius is humanity. Back to Pluto in Aquarius, Pluto could transform all of humanity if people so chose, they could use their creations to save sick people (because they are out there), instead of hiding them and charging to continuously make patients pay for treatments that aren't effective when there are actual cures available. That's just one example of what Pluto in Aquarius could do along with Neptune in Aries, revolutionize and transform society and with the dreamers who create these inventive cures and technologies that could save lives, time, and money. But, the system the we have now, will not allow for that because the elite won't let that happen. So, that brings in other themes of this aspect and the other aspects in this reading! Use those beautiful imaginations!
There is a Full Moon at 3° Aries on Saturday, September 26, 2026 at 12:49 PM. So, as I was saying, there is a Full Moon with the Moon at 3°37' Aries and Neptune at 2°59' which is almost exact which is going to heighten intuition, and vivid dreams, but also increase delusion and illusions. The Moon also represents emotions, emotional dysregulation, mothers, motherhood, family, dreams, primal instincts, ancestors, ancestry, our roots, where we come from. I would HIGHLY recommend NOT partaking in substances of any kind during or around this Full Moon, especially with Saturn at 11° on the opposite side of the Moon which makes it harder to access emotions and intuition, so there's a double-edged sword there. You may feel like your intuition and senses are heightened, but you might not be as in tune as you think you are with Saturn sitting right there to block everything. Neptune right there with that alignment could cause serious delusions and even psychosis with that planetary line-up, but you do you. I'm no one's babysitter. Plus, Saturn in Aries 11° (stability, boundaries, foundations, restrictions, authority, authorities, government, building/buildings, structure, making something serious/official, risk-taking, boldness, headstrong, me-first attitude, warriors, fighters, soldiers, innovators, trailblazers, impulsiveness, selfishness) is in aspect with Jupiter in Leo (luck, abundance, growth, expansion, children, drama, theatrics, center stage, in the spotlight, arrogant, loud, passionate, determined, confident, proud) which just amplifies Saturn's effects which, I personally just WOULD NOT. But that's me. It also happens to be tied to Mercury in Libra at 24° (see above), so if you say something and it is taken out of context, or you say something messed up, know that it will be made into a bigger deal than you think it will because of Jupiter in Leo which expands and exaggerates everything. It will be like the name of Cardi's album because, yes, You will be the drama in this situation. The Full Moon is the Opposition in another Kite, just like our New Moon in Virgo last time at the link I shared at the top which you should check out to get that information and check out more about Kites and see how that plays into things here this time around. Our Apex planet is the Moon in Aries at 3° with an almost exact Conjunction to Neptune causing lots of confusion, but could bring spiritual awareness if you harness it right, this time at the top of the Kite with the Sun in Libra at 3° being the tail. Then, we have Pluto in Aquarius at 3° making up the Sextile or "wing" on the right hand side of the Kite, and both Uranus and the Part of Fortune at 5° making up the left "wing" of the Kite or Sextile with both of those forming a Trine to the Sun in Libra at 3°, and to each other, forming an Equilateral Triangle. We also have an applying aspect with Mars in Cancer at 29° to Pluto at 3° still conjunct Juno at 25 Capricorn. This is not pretty. This is a violent aspect. Especially with Mars being in Cancer at the anaretic degree of 29°. This is the final degree of any zodiac sign and is considered a fated degree and this is where things get hot. This marks sudden endings, urgent transitions and dramatic changes. It is a crisis-oriented aspect and with Mars, the planet of war, anger, aggression, drive, sex drive in themes with Cancer, the mother, motherhood, family, ancestors, ancestry, home, real estate, passive-aggressiveness, mental illness, moodiness, and backbiting meet Pluto the Destroyer, transformation, the Phoenix, control, power, power plays, domination, obsession, stalking, dominance, psychological warfare, sex, lust, STIs, violence, death, and rape with the themes of revolution, rebellion, nonconformists, eccentricity, humanitarianism, humanity, the people, the outcasts, genius, instantaneous knowledge, sudden shocks to the system, intelligence, electricity, and sudden, dramatic changes, this is not going to be pretty. This is an ugly aspect and it only happens once every 2 years, but the effects can last up to 2 weeks!! I'm not joking when I say things can get really ugly and violent with this aspect! When Uranus was in the anaretic degree at 29° of Taurus is when all those warehouses fires were burning everything down. It was also right before the Motherless partner rape and drugging website was revealed to the public. Here's the link before that was revealed. I knew something was going to go down and it felt very rape-y, but I could have never imagined it would be THAT big ever. So, this is a warning to be very careful around this Full Moon. This isn't a joke. This is not to be taken lightly and this will keep building in intensity because this aspect will keep getting more intense until it goes Exact on October 3rd, 2026 at 6:39 AM EDT, the same day that Venus goes Retrograde in Scorpio, so it's safe to say that that is a day that is rife for being a craptastic day because everyone is going to be feeling SUPER INTENSE and feelings of violence and obsession and other Venus in Scorpio themes are going to be running sky high! I'm not trying to fear-monger, but I have lived and experienced these types of aspects to long to not warn people, especially with this Kite happening and the last Kite New Moon and Venus going Retrograde and the anaretic degree of 29°. Just NO. I need to add that Juno is Conjunct Pluto, and Juno is the ideal partner, the goddess of marriage, the protector of women and children, and the divine protector of the community, and a warrior. Juno is in Capricorn which is ALL business and does NOT fuck around. Capricorn works hard, will climb any mountain (the goat), and will stop at nothing to do what has to be done. Capricorn builds and survives on determination and sheer will alone. They exercise caution and discipline, set down rules, and live by them. Which brings us to Venus in Scorpio which is Square Mars in Cancer at 29° (anaretic) and Pluto in Aquarius 3°/Juno in Capricorn 25°. That's a T-Square when you have an Opposition and 2 Squares on either side of the Opposition. It depends on what planets and signs are involved on whether it's nasty or not. But since we have the Mars/Pluto/Juno Opposition and the 2 Squares to Venus, that's a lot of drama and anger/aggression/obsession/mother/child/family issues/relationship craziness/finance fuckery. Read all the planets and signs involved to get the themes of this T-Square. Don't forget the issues of self-worth, self-care, self-love, hidden talents, control, possession, death, destruction, sex...there's so much going on here! And it's in the signs of Scorpio, the last degree of Cancer, Aquarius, and Capricorn (scroll up for all that)! This is kind of insane! To try to break through that T-Square, you can try to head to Taurus energy which is down to Earth as long as you aren't being possessive and doing nothing instead of taking action, because Taurus can get caught up in that energy. If Taurus energy can be grounded and actually be connected to nature or some type of calming activity, it would do them very good. And this goes for everyone reading this right now, but specifically for people with Taurus near 7° in their charts. Use that planet. Also because Venus in Scorpio at 7° is Quincunx Uranus in and Part of Fortune in Gemini at 5° which as we learned in my last blog which I reposted at the top, have nothing in common with each other and we remember that Uranus, especially in Gemini is the super-sudden-changes-that-we-never-know-which-way-it's-gonna-go planet. We just have to hope for the best. For the last bit having to do with this Full Moon is another T-Square with Mercury in Libra at 24° Squaring both Mars in Cancer at 29° and Pluto in Aquarius at 3°/Juno at 25° Capricorn while they Oppose each other. Mercury is the planet of communication, technology surrounding communication (phones, computers, tablets, printers, mail), thoughts, education, sales/commerce, medical professions, writers, broadcasting in the themes around Libra of diplomacy, equality, harmony balance, equity, unions, marriage, relationships, love, finances, money, beauty, self-worth, self-love, self-confidence, hidden talents, and this is Squaring (making a Conflicting aspect that causes a lot of room for growth if there is much work put in), Mars, the planet of war, aggression, anger, drive, sex, ambition, lust, in the sign of Cancer which is the mother, motherhood, family, home, real estate, antiques, restaurants, ancestors, ancestry, where we come from, our roots, and dreams, while this is Opposing (An aspect causing a dynamic tension which causes a need for balancing these two sides) Pluto, the planet of destruction, transformation, the Phoenix rising from the ashes, obsession, stalking, control, power, power plays, domination, death, rape, violence in the sign of Aquarius with themes of humanity, humanitarianism, rebellion, revolution, eccentricity, outcasts, nonconformists, thinking outside the box, genius, instantaneous knowledge, intelligence, computer systems, internet, and unconventionalism. This is Conjunct Juno in Capricorn 25° and remember, Juno is the ideal partner, the goddess of marriage, the protector of women and children, and the divine protector of the community, and a warrior. So, you can see how things could get real messy with this Full Moon if you weren't conscious of all the things going on in the sky at the moment. If you pay attention and lean into the right energies though, you will be able to manifest growth and positivity.

On Sunday, September 27th, 2026 at 7:59 AM EDT, Mars in Cancer at 29°, at the anaretic degree in the final minutes, Squares Chiron in Aries also at the anaretic degree at 29°. This could be very painful, very healing or both. Mars is the planet of war, anger, aggression, sex, drive, and ambition and it's in the last minutes of Cancer which is the sign of mothers, motherhood, family, real estate, ancestors, ancestry, home, homeland, our roots, primal instincts, and where we come from and Chiron is the Wounded Healer. Chiron is our inner wounds and traumas and also where we use those same inner wounds and traumas to heal others and it's in the sign of Aries the innovator, the trailblazer, the instigator, bold, risk-taking, impulsive, reckless, me-first attitude and sometimes cruel. So, This following up on the Full Moon energy could leave people hurting others and lashing out because of their own inner wounds and traumas. At the same time, this could help others heal themselves and others due to these same wounds and traumas. It's a Square though, so this will take a lot of work.

Also on Sunday, September 27th, 2026 at 10:49 PM EDT, after Mars in Cancer at 29° Squares Chiron in Aries, Mars (the planet of war, anger, aggression, sex, drive, ambition, and energy) moves into Leo which is passionate, cocky in a good way (think RDJ), not too much, just enough; can be arrogant if not reined in (not good); bold, determined, sexual, proud, can have a love for recognition, romantic, tends to be loyal to their partner, can be dramatic, regal, possibly vain, pulls out all the stops, daring, and adventurous. So for anyone who is getting it on, prepare for it to get exciting in those sheets and in the boardroom these next two months until Mars enters Virgo.
