Love Lanyadoo Astrology 09.16-22.2020
To learn all about this week’s transits listen to episode 142 of my twice weekly show, Ghost of a Podcast, or read the transcript here.
On the 17th there will be a New Moon in Virgo at 4:00am PT, and on the same day Mercury will be square to Jupiter and the Sun will form an exact trine to Saturn. This is a great time for manifesting and clarifying your intentions, so I dropped a podcast episode about that very thing (listen to it below or wherever podcasts are heard).
When the Sun and Moon meet up, it’s a good time to get your feelings (the Moon) and your will (the Sun) in alignment. Virgo’s energies are really great for cultivating discernment and they’re associated with service. This is a wise time for doing yourself the service of self-investigation, and the good news is, with Mercury’s square to Jupiter, that you’re likely to find that your curiosity is engaged, as well as your willingness to learn and explore more. The downside of that configuration of the Mercury square to Jupiter and the New Moon in Virgo, is that it can make it so that you’re so busy talking, you aren’t really listening - and this is a really important time to listen.Luckily, the Sun trine to Saturn that’s also exact on this day denotes an opportunity to create stability. The potential with all of this earthy energy is to invest.
Think like a plant and remember that your roots are just as important as whatever it is that you’re trying to grow above the surface. Consider the ways in which you are honoring one over the other and make whatever adjustments are necessary this week.

ARIES
March 21-April 19
While it might not be clear how you’re going to get where you want to go, this is an important week for you to create some space to deliberate on it. Get grounded in what you have and what you’re grateful for, Aries. Tend to the things in your life that are holding you up and keeping you strong. It may be movement, your friendships, or some project that is giving you life. In the face of what you cannot control, it’s valuable to give thanks to what supports you.

TAURUS
April 20-May 20
This week it’s time to take risks, but not in the way you might think. Take a chance on yourself, Taurus. You have been investing in some forms of self-development over the past several months, and now you’re seeing real progress. It’s time for you to choose to take it to the next level or not. Step with intention into the parts of your process that feel vulnerable so that you can choose to transform them. You are stronger than you think, my love.

GEMINI
May 21-June 21
This week is likely to confront you with a bit of a personal riddle. You may find yourself tempted to focus on things that are scary or threatening to you, but you’ve seen this movie before. You know how it ends. Be on the lookout for old patterns showing up in new clothing, Twin Star. Instead of allowing yourself to go on autopilot in the face of fear, strive to stay present, compassionate, and kind. How you respond to what’s in front of you is, in many ways, more important than the thing itself.

CANCER
June 22-July 22
There’s so much for you to do this week, and it’s likely to be more than a little overwhelming. Instead of inundating yourself with every task in front of you, focus on the next steps. You are totally capable, Moonchild. You have the vision and the skills. Your challenge this week is to not psych yourself out as you confront the unknowable. Move forward with your plans, but try to add a little faith to your approach.

LEO
July 23-Aug. 22
There is in fact too much of a good thing, Leo. Make sure that the ways you’ve been treating yourself are actually bringing you happiness and a higher quality of life—not masking your problems with new, funner problems. You’re ready to mobilize and make improvements in your life and the world around you, but in order to do this, you need to also take care of you. Remember: self-care is not a detour from the path; it’s an essential part of the path.

VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Get ready for the feels! There will be a tender New Moon in your sign on the 17th, Virgo. It’s a fertile time of the year for you to clarify your intentions, your goals, what you’re doing, and the motivations behind your actions. You may need to start off by looking at your boundaries. Strive to determine whether they are keeping you stuck or keeping you safe. Don’t defensively protect what you’ve outgrown, no matter how tempted you are to do so this week.

LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Fear on its own is not all bad; it can alert you to danger, let you know when things are off, and even make you appreciate easier times. But when fear goes rogue, problems arise, Libra. Don’t allow yourself to obsess on what if‘s and other stressful and unproductive lines of thought. You don’t have all the answers, and you can’t have them—no one can. All you can do is your best with the information you’ve got. Organize your concerns so that you can deal with what’s real this week.

SCORPIO
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Having healthy boundaries is hard; it’s hard to know what your limits are, to have faith in them, and then to figure out how to communicate them effectively. What can be even harder is having to embody and enforce them. This week things may get awkward, but that shouldn’t stop you from striving to do things differently, Scorpio. You’ve changed. That doesn’t mean your behavior fully reflects those internal changes or that the people you’re close to have had a chance to catch up with you.

SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
This week, it’s important that you slow down so that you can better hear (and then hopefully heed) your own inner voice. It doesn’t look like you need a major restructuring in your life, but in order to sustain both your commitments and your energy, you do need to get grounded. Take a pause from major activity and making new commitments so that you can just tend to your basics, Sagittarius. Make small adjustments that yield big impact, my ambitious friend.

CAPRICORN
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
As you learn how to take up more space in your own life, you’re bound to overstep from time to time. The goal is not to be perfect. Ideally, your goal should be for you to keep on growing. Be willing to learn from what’s hard for you, where you're not naturally talented, and even from failure. It’s freeing to accept that your learning curve is an essential part of your process, Capricorn.

AQUARIUS
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
It’s not enough to make a decision or even to deeply understand things. What you also must do is embody the wisdom that you've accumulated so that you can actually make use of it. This week is all about embodiment, Aquarius. You're on call to emotionally show up. Act from your kindest parts, not just your smartest ones. The changes you want to make require that you build yourself into the person you want to be. Start with your emotions, and work from there.

PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20
Growth can be so awkward, Pisces. In order to truly be there for others, you must learn how to truly be there for yourself as well. Your relationship to your own ego needs some honest care and attention. There will be a New Moon in your relationship house on the 17th, and you may find yourself having to show up in your relationships in new ways. Whatever you do, when you choose others, don’t let it be at the expense of yourself, my devotional friend.
