The Cosmic Connection

Rising sign horoscopes for Sept. 11 – 17

Aries: Insights into yourself and your identity oftentimes come from your relationships with others. Disagreement or tension are opportunities for learning and personal growth.

Taurus: Physical and mental health and wellness are themes this week, particularly sources of irritation. Remember to rest and practice any techniques you use to find your Zen and center.

Gemini: Sources of joy and pleasure may be feeling a little out of reach. Surround yourself with your true tribe. Engaging with others to lift your spirits is time well spent.

Cancer: You may feel more pressure in balancing work and home/family. Your role and achievements in the workplace have gifted you skills that you can also utilize on the home front.

Leo: Friction with a family member can foster diplomatic resolutions. There’s been great growth in your ability to expand your perspectives. Be the pioneer of the solution.

Virgo: Facing your fears and embracing your shadows have been repeating lessons. Resources come into focus, and the bigger lesson is trusting the intimate bond with another.

Libra: Holding on to heavy emotions churned up by a break-up or conflict in a relationship causes inflammation. Identify this in your body, and work toward balance and release.

Scorpio: Awareness of a blind spot or hidden force working against you may surface. This may challenge or interrupt your daily routines. Swift action will minimize disruption.

Sagittarius: If you’re feeling distance or separation from your community, a reframe may be helpful. Consider the space an invitation to joyfully go deeper into your creative flow.

Capricorn: The time could be right for a strategic and intentional shift in your professional life. The ideal result would be feeling more at home with your authentic self.

Aquarius: Finding your true voice is a dynamic process and journey. Severing ties with limiting beliefs and outdated paradigms catalyzes the courage required.

Pisces: Becoming a more confident person is a learning process that also invites healing. This week may reveal to you the personal growth you’ve achieved through greater self-reliance.

Weekly astrology summary:

This week is an important time for observation and reflection since we’re in the space between the eclipses. A beautiful cosmic invitation is present from messenger Mercury. Reflect back to the end of July and anything new that you learned, or new insights that have changed your mindset and perspective. Does it seem you’ve reached a measurable milepost? The halfway point of the journey here, and there’s more maturation ahead. Thoughts, ideas, and communication in general are about to get an unprecedented upgrade as Mercury connects with outer planets in a totally new way on Sept. 18.

This week’s challenge is stirred up by motivated Mars becoming at odds with cathartic Chiron. It’s an opportunity for balance and meditating on how far we’ve come in the journey of being our unique, individual selves in relationship to others. It may feel tense and irritating, which helps to catalyze action and experiential learning. This cosmic butting of heads last occurred in late September 2023. Pay attention to anything resurfacing now that’s similar to your experience from two years ago.
