Weekly Astrology: Dancing Between Endings and Beginnings 🌒✨

My editor, Dea, who is from the Philippines, recently shared with me how September feels there. She described the hum of tricycles on the street, neighbors singing karaoke late into the night, and that unique in-between weather — a mix of warmth and breeze, sunshine and sudden rain showers. Listening to her, I couldn’t help but think, that’s exactly what balance looks like in real life.
It’s not some perfect stillness. It’s movement. It’s a contrast. It’s the way light and shadow, noise and silence, rain and shine all find their rhythm together. And honestly? That’s the same lesson the equinox is handing us this week.
We’re in that liminal space — one foot still tied to the old, the other stepping toward what’s new. The cosmos is inviting us to pause, notice, and gently realign. 🌙
Weekly Astrology Breakdown 🗓️
In this weekly astrology, here’s what’s lighting up the skies:
September 21: Sun trine Pluto, Big transformation energy. This is about claiming your power without force. You’re being asked to shine a light on what’s ready to shift, to step into your personal authority with grace, not ego.
September 22: Sun enters Libra (Equinox) The Sun moves into Libra on the equinox, the moment of equal day and night. It’s the universe hitting the reset button on balance, justice, and relationships. Ask yourself: what feels heavy on my scale right now? What needs more harmony?
September 23: Mercury opposite Neptune. Careful with words today. Things may feel foggy or unclear. You might sense someone’s hiding something or that details aren’t lining up. Don’t panic — it’s more about trusting your intuition and not rushing decisions.
September 24: Mars trine Saturn. The grind pays off. This is about endurance, focus, and persistence. Think slow burn, steady action. Nothing flashy, but very effective.
September 25: Mercury trine Pluto. Conversations get deep. Like, “see into your soul” kind of deep. Journaling is powerful right now too. Don’t be afraid of your own shadows — they’re showing you the way forward.
September 27: Venus trine Uranus. Expect the unexpected in love, money, or creative sparks. This is the cosmic curveball that wakes you up in the best possible way. Stay open and curious.
Theme of the Week
Realignment. Before you leap, find your center. ⚖️
This week asks us to pause in the doorway of change and actually look around. It’s so tempting to either cling to the past because it’s familiar or lunge toward the future just to feel like we’re doing something. But the magic is in the middle.
With the equinox, the Sun entering Libra, and Mercury opposite Neptune, it’s like the universe is handing us a mirror and saying, “Slow down. What are you really seeing?” Maybe relationships are reflecting your own imbalance back to you. Maybe your work-life balance is way off. Maybe your intuition is screaming one thing while your mind keeps second-guessing.
This is where trust comes in. Trust that clarity arrives in its own time. Trust that balance is a practice, not a destination. Trust that your shadows are not there to scare you but to teach you.
The deep conversations later this week (thank you, Mercury trine Pluto) aren’t random. They’re part of the reset. You might uncover truths about yourself or others that change how you move forward. By the time Venus shakes things up on the 27th, you’ll be ready to welcome surprises with open arms instead of fear.

Crystal of the Week

Smoky Quartz is the perfect ally for equinox week because it knows how to hold you steady in the in-between. Just like Dea’s description of September in the Philippines, warm yet breezy, noisy yet still, sunny yet rainy, Smoky Quartz reminds us that balance isn’t stillness, it’s integration.
This stone grounds you when the shifting tides of transformation (Sun trine Pluto) and the fogginess of unclear conversations (Mercury opposite Neptune) threaten to pull you off center. It helps you release what’s weighing you down while anchoring you into stability, so you can step forward with clarity instead of confusion.
This week, carry it when you feel unsettled, meditate with it during moments of self-reflection, or place it at your desk to turn stress into calm focus. Smoky Quartz helps you trust that you’re not behind or lost, you’re exactly where you need to be in the cycle of release and renewal.

Tarot Card of the Week

Justice couldn’t be a better fit for Equinox week, with Libra season opening the door and the scales of balance illuminated by equal day and night. This card arrives now as a mirror, asking you to realign your choices with your truth.
Why this week? Because the equinox is the cosmic reset button. Justice reminds you that integrity is your anchor in times of transition. As Mercury trines Pluto later in the week, deep conversations or inner revelations may arise, and Justice is your compass, guiding you to honesty with yourself first, and then with others.
This card doesn’t demand perfection; it asks for accountability. Every choice creates ripples. Justice ensures those ripples move you closer to your highest values, not away from them. In a week full of cosmic nudges toward balance and trust, this card confirms you’re being called to align action with truth, not illusion.

Closing Note
This week is the cosmic version of “measure twice, cut once.” Pause. Realign. Trust. And then move forward with clarity and heart.
