Monday, September 5th:
Monday, the Moon remains in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late evening. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges and brings a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes more important to us.
As best as you can during this aspect, avoid "should-ing" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying, "I am doing the best I can, and that's all I can ever do" ;-)
Sunday night/Monday very early morning, at 12:05am EDT, Venus changes signs from fun and attention-loving Leo to detail-oriented, practical Virgo. She will journey through that sign until Sept. 29th. Our relationships will be put under the magnifying glass for the next three and a half weeks. We are more likely to want to make our relationships work in real terms.
We need to feel of service to others; we love to help, especially in a practical, down-to-earth way. This might also be a great time to acknowledge the people in our lives who take care of those little, daily details and make our lives easier :-)
On a social level, we might be shyer, less confident, and most likely too busy to uphold our social commitments. On the financial side of things, we may want to invest in our health -- especially around healthy daily routines -- and anything that makes life run more smoothly on a practical level. Things that aren't so practical, sensible, and "just plain right" may leave us feeling uneasy.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you will feel shyer and possibly busier than usual for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to be of service to others. Our health is important now, and if we have a partner, the same is true for their health. If you are a Virgo Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you will have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign.
Monday morning starts with lots of energy and a strong desire for accomplishment; we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. As best as you can, make space for pursuing your passions, self-growth, and long-term commitments -- flexibility is key ;-) (Moon in Capricorn squares Jupiter in Aries, exact at 8:44am EDT)
Monday late morning, we feel the need to follow the rules and satisfy our long-term goals, but also to adjust and innovate when communicating and collaborating -- balance is essential ;-) (Moon in Capricorn squares Mercury in Libra, exact at 11:21am EDT)
Monday early afternoon, we are invited to make some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect and share ourselves with others — and on the other, the need to accomplish something out there in the real world and to be responsible and self-reliant.

Monday late evening, we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. As best as you can, make space for looking into some alternative exercise programs or holistic approaches to your personal projects and current long-term commitments. Compassion is key ;-) (Moon in Capricorn squares Chiron in Aries, exact at 11:49pm EDT)
Happy Labor Day to everyone who is celebrating today!
