“Sourcerer” a Visual Affirmation for the #ariesfullmoon by @janna_dorothy 🌕 There are full moons, and then there are Full Moons. Not every opposition between the Sun and Moon will stimulate like the opposition this week will. September 24/25 brings a powerful full moon that stimulates several major and important aspects. The Moon in Aries is conjunct Chiron, square to Saturn, and sextile to Mars. Aries is a sign that serves the Self. It represents the individuated ego, “Me”, “Myself”, and “I”. The aspects it makes trigger three long-term transits. Saturn, Uranus, and Chiron are all in the early degrees of new zodiacal energy, and the full moon acts to agitate our needs for change, and instigate our actions. 🎯 Read more about this full moon and the aspects it makes, listen to the podcast and practice with the guided meditation, find your full moon horoscopes at embodiedastrology.com link in bio 🌑 #horoscope #horoscopes #astrology #affirmations #mindfulness #magic #aries #taurus #gemini #cancer #leo #virgo #libra #scorpio #sagittarius #capricorn #aquarius #pisces
MERCURY IN LIBRA IS SQUARE TO SATURN IN CAPRICORN AND TRINE TO MARS IN AQUARIUS . Read yesterday’s post for more information on Libra. Today’s aspects brings mental attention to Libran themes of equality and harmony in relationships. The square to Saturn stimulates necessary awareness, and maybe conversations, about power and dominance, and seeks to bring balance to our expectations and ambitions. The trine to Mars supports diplomacy, objectivity, and open-mindedness. . As faster moving, inner planets (closer to the sun) the influences of Mercury and Mars will lend themselves to Saturn’s aim, and Saturn in turn, will affect the function of Mercury and Mars. Mercury and Mars, in air signs, tend to move quickly, with ample curiosity and mental activity. Saturn in Capricorn moves slowly, and expresses itself through awareness that deepens and unfolds over time. Today is a good day to direct your mental functions towards embodiment and physicality, and get curious about the ways your body and its movements respond to your environments. . Use today’s affirmation as a reminder to pay attention to the ways that nature expresses itself, and to practice patience and quietness as ways of being. . . . . . . . . . . #astrology #astrologersofinstagram #horoscopes #pdxart #madeinportland #portlandartist #pnwcreatives #portlandmade #affirmations
AUTUMN EQUINOX, SUN ENTERS LIBRA AND OPPOSES CHIRON IN ARIES . Equinox means “equal night”. Today, Earth’s rotation around the sun brings us to the point in the year when we experience equal light of night and day in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and, at the equator, this is the time of year when the sun will rise directly to the East, and set directly to the West. This time of balanced light marks the end of Summer and beginning of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, and the end of Winter and beginning of Spring in the Southern Hemisphere. . Libra is one of the four “cardinal signs”, meaning that it begins a season. The balance that Libra is known for has to do with this balance of light, and harmonizing of opposing influences. Libra’s opposite sign, Aries, must balance the needs of itself with concern for others. Libra meanwhile, must balance the needs of others with concern for itself. Libra and Aries are a continuum of energy. One cannot exist without the other. To define oneself means that an “other” must also be defined. To be in any kind of healthy or fulfilling relationships with others, means that we must also be in healthy and fulfilling relationships with ourselves. . Chiron in Aries is a long-term transit that will unfold for the next 9 years. During this time, the best use for this energy will be to cultivate understanding, awareness, and resolution of unhealthy ego patterns. The ego is the first place that self-defines. Self-definition is necessary for survival in a human body, but when the notion of self is separated from a greater whole, egos become distorted and dysfunctional. Today’s affirmation is sourced from Krishnamurti, use it to bring consciousness and healing to the ways your ego develops in relation to others. .

MARS IN AQUARIUS SQUARE URANUS IN TAURUS . Planetary energies are challenging and conflicted today, but also dynamic, and can motivate growth and awareness. Mars square Uranus may stimulate sudden, erratic, unpredictable behavior and events. Chances for accidents increase due to heightened agitation and decreased sensitivity, so be careful… Attend to your own energy and be aware that others may (consciously or unconsciously) provoke your ire. The best uses for today’s aspect are ones directed towards necessary change. . You may find that today, and the days surrounding, bring uncomfortable recognition of the ways you participate with, and maintain the status quo. Uranus in Taurus is a cycle that is in its early beginnings, and over the next 7 years, will encourage all of us to upset our stagnant patterns, shift our habits, and deal with our addictions. Today, Mars in Aquarius provokes these changes by urging objective awareness and future-forward thinking. . Use today’s affirmation to help move through collective inertia. The momentum of supremacy and dominance in all its forms, has pushed the planet and its inhabitants to the extreme state we find ourselves in now–where the fantasy of individualism reigns, and greed is the driving force of our self-destruction. May we, as humans, recognize that our personal happiness depends on everyone and everything else. . . . . . . . . . . #astrology #astrologersofinstagram #horoscopes #pdxart #madeinportland #portlandartist #pnwcreatives #portlandmade #affirmations
The second quarter square occurs one week after the new moon. During these 2-3 days, while the moon looks like a half circle, we are faced with “crises of consciousness.” Whatever questions arose, or new motivations were revealed at last week’s new moon, have now formed enough for us to question and examine them, and ultimately to decide whether or not to follow through or change course. Today, the moon in Sagittarius asks us to think bigger and broader. . Mercury in Virgo sextile Jupiter in Scorpio: Following last week’s new moon in Virgo, and working together with today’s moon in Sagittarius, this aspect asks us to consider the ways we organize our minds around our emotions. Emotions are both important and temporary. As responsible and effective humans, we must learn to listen to our feelings, to critically reflect on them, and to understand how our personal experiences and emotions function within the context of a larger whole. . Use today’s affirmation to recognize and communicate your truth, without imposing on others or investing in unhealthy entanglements. . . . . . . . . . . #astrology #astrologersofinstagram #horoscopes #pdxart #madeinportland #portlandartist #pnwcreatives #portlandmade #affirmations
MERCURY IN VIRGO TRINE PLUTO IN CAPRICORN . Today’s aspect is a harmonious configuration between earth signs. Mercury lends its influence to Pluto. Mercury in Virgo excels at critical thinking, planning, and organizing details. It also encourages mental attention towards practical means, and an orientation towards health, service to others, and usefulness in general. . Pluto in Capricorn is a lengthy transit which began in 2008, and won’t conclude until 2025. During this span of time, we must collectively renegotiate our relationships to power and control. The world forces that dominate the current era revolve around accumulation of power in the hands of few who control the majority of wealth and resource. Pluto’s transit through Capricorn has revealed, and will continue to expose the deeper workings of these power structures. As individuals we are faced with the impact of our personal decisions… Do we lend our energy to the dominant forces of capitalism and hegemonic control, or do we resist? . Use today’s affirmation to encourage the highest vibration of Mercury’s transit and influence. Wherever Virgo is in your natal chart is an area of life that is calling you to assume responsibility for your actions and intent. The more you can focus the energies of this part of your life towards service and healing, the more you can contribute to a collective shift in consciousness away from scarcity-mentality and fear-based control mechanisms. . . . . . . . . . . #astrology #astrologersofinstagram #horoscopes #pdxart #madeinportland #portlandartist #pnwcreatives #portlandmade #affirmations
MARS IN AQUARIUS SEXTILE CHIRON IN ARIES. MERCURY IN VIRGO OPPOSITE NEPTUNE IN PISCES. . Mars in Aquarius sextile Chiron in Aries: Planetary energies lend themselves to one another. Read the post from September 10th to learn more about Mars in Aquarius and Chiron in Aries. Today’s aspect continues themes surrounding freedom and personal empowerment, and may stimulate confrontation and conflict in identity politics or between social groups. Assertions of dominance and/or ego-based displays of power may figure strongly in collective and personal experiences today. . Mercury in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces: Mercury’s placement brings acute mental energy to detail and discrimination, while Neptune’s placement blurs perception and creates the need to transcend materiality. The planetary energies are opposed, but Neptune’s influence is stronger. Thinking and reasoning are unclear today, details may be hard to define or sort through, delusions and fantasy may take over logic and reason. The astro-energy is much better used for creative pursuits or spiritual undertakings. If possible, avoid any interactions that require clear thinking or strategy. . Today’s aspects together are a caution against any kind of group-think or crowd mentality, though displays of both may be extreme. Use today’s affirmation to cultivate inner peace and benevolence towards your fellow humans and the planet we share. . . . . . . . . . . #astrology #astrologersofinstagram #horoscopes #pdxart #madeinportland #portlandartist #pnwcreatives #portlandmade #affirmations
JUPITER IN SCORPIO SEXTILE PLUTO IN CAPRICORN. VENUS IN SCORPIO OPPOSITE URANUS IN TAURUS. VENUS IN SCORPIO SEXTILE SATURN IN CAPRICORN . Jupiter in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn: The planetary energies combine with ease. This is the third time this aspect has presented during Jupiter’s transit through Scorpio. Think back to January 15-21 and April 8-17 of this year. Themes surrounding realizations of deeper emotional truth, conflicts with willpower and desire or power/hierarchy in relationships, and control and dependency in general may have figured prominently at these times. Wherever Scorpio is in your natal chart is a place where you are now learning and growing in your self-awareness and emotional literacy. Wherever Capricorn is in your natal chart is an area of life where you have been undergoing a process of transformation in order to become empowered and self-reliant. During the next week, as this aspect integrates and resolves, you’ll find that the themes you have been working and reworking are now moving into a new stage of development. . Venus in Scorpio opposite Uranus in Taurus, while sextile Saturn in Capricorn: Venus’ aspects today lend themselves to Jupiter’s (above.) These influences describe the need to negotiate and innovate, particularly when it comes to deep attachments and feelings. Letting yourself express, while also understanding how to channel your expression is key. Don’t shy away or hide from intensity and depth. Do recognize that most people are much more sensitive than they seem. If you’re working with big or heavy feelings, find ways to express and move through them without directing this energy at anyone else, or needing anyone’s validation or engagement with them. If others are directing heavy feelings your way, practice clear energetic boundaries. Use today’s affirmation for both.
