Anywayyyyyy……. I’m obsessed with the astrology of this week. Mystical silly heads (aka spiritually enlightened baddies) may note that—on the day of the lunation—Mercury and Chiron are meeting at 22º, while the Sun and Moon are connecting at 11º.
In numerology, 11 and 22 are considered “Master Numbers.” These numbers carry an amplified energy, asking us to tap into our higher selves and embrace a deeper level of spiritual growth. Master Numbers signal that we’re being called to a higher purpose. Likewise, these numbers show up as both a gift and a challenge, representing a potential for great spiritual insights while demanding commitment and discipline to fully unlock their power.
Don’t forget to check the September Forecast!
11 is the number of intuition and spiritual awakening, connecting us to the unseen and urging us to trust our inner voice. It's a call to embrace sensitivity and deep emotional understanding. When I see 11:11, for instance, I experience it as confirmation from the universe that I’m on the best path forward. Meanwhile, 22 is the Master Builder—focused on manifesting dreams into reality. It’s the number of practical, grounded action paired with the visionary energy of the divine. These Master Numbers ask us to rise above the ordinary and align with our soul’s true mission. It’s a journey of growth, discipline, and faith, which isn’t always easy, but if you’re willing to do the work, the rewards can be profound.
TL;DR: This is an excellent moon for manifesting.
Wake up, babe, it’s time to set intentions! It’s hard to believe, but this is actually the last lunation before Eclipse Season begins next month (mark your calendars: a brand new series kicks off on September 17). As you may know, I don’t recommend manifestations or ritual work during Eclipse Season, so this is actually the last lunar cycle to plant seeds and set intentions before our scheduled hiatus.
This week’s New Moon occurs at 11° Virgo, and invites us to imagine new realities and plant seeds to bring hopes and dreams into the physical world. This lunation is all about meticulous tending. Focused caring. Delicate nurturing. Consider how your body, physical environment, and schedule reflect your inner thoughts and feelings.
Virgo takes apart systems just to polish ‘em up, so this lunation offers the opportunity to look closely at how you’ve been moving through your days—from hour to hour and minute to minute. Is your energetic ebb and flow aligned with your calendar? If not, what sort of shifts can you make to your tangible reality to create more emotional grounding? After all, if you’re interested in reaching your highest potential, thoughtful strategy and careful considerations are absolutely essential. And, FYI, your days do not have to be monotonous: Even the most boring, mundane tasks can be made interesting and magical… all it takes is just a wee bit of planning and prep work. Perfect considerations for this tactful New Moon.
In Constellation Club, we’ll be performing a powerful ritual, manifesting magic that will support us for the next six-weeks, all the way through Eclipse Season!

Can’t wait to see you there! (PS replays are available!)
Then, the story of the anaretic degree continues (I’m telling you—it’s the defining signature of 2024!!!!), once again reminding us that we are at the brink of significant shifts. This week, Mars takes center stage, initiating a sequence of transits that challenge our resolve, test our boundaries, and push us to confront the nebulous terrain of our deepest desires and fears.
On Tuesday, September 3, Mars in Gemini squares Neptune at 29º Pisces. This is a complex and slippery aspect, one that blurs the lines between action and illusion, motivation and deception. Mars, the planet of drive and aggression, is eager to make things happen, but Neptune’s misty influence at the critical degree makes it difficult to discern the path forward. Are we acting on clear intentions, or are we being swayed by illusions? This square at 29º compels us to question the true nature of our ambitions. It’s a time to pause and reflect before making any rash decisions, as the risk of being led astray is high. Trust your intuition, but verify your instincts.
The following day, Mars enters Cancer, shifting the warrior’s energy from intellectual curiosity to emotional protection. In Cancer, Mars trades its sword for a shield, focusing on defending what we hold dear—our home, family, and emotional well-being. This transit asks us to channel our drive into nurturing and safeguarding what truly matters. However, Cancer’s cardinal water energy can be reactive, and Mars here may find itself easily provoked, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Mars is considered to be in its fall, as Mars’ ambition nature clashes with Cancer’s need for nurture. But a slower Mars isn’t necessarily a bad thing—this is a time to embrace the power of emotional resilience, using Mars’ energy to fortify your inner world rather than lashing out.
As we approach the weekend, the skies bring a jolt of unpredictability. On Saturday, September 7, Mercury in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus, a transit that electrifies our communication and thought processes. As always with Uranus, expect the unexpected—surprises, breakthroughs, and even disruptions in our usual ways of thinking and interacting. Uranus, the planet of innovation and rebellion, challenges Mercury’s leonine pride, urging us to break free from outdated ideas and express ourselves in bold, unconventional ways. While this aspect can be mentally stimulating, it’s also prone to miscommunication and sudden changes of plans. Ugh! Flexibility is key; be open to new perspectives and prepared for swift adjustments.
Finally, on Sunday, September 8, the Sun in Virgo opposes Saturn in Pisces, casting a serious, reflective tone over the weekend. I actually had a strange dream about Saturn eclipsing the Moon; I wonder if it was prophetic? (But what would be the prophecy? lol). Needless to say, this opposition brings into focus the tension between our daily routines, responsibilities, and the larger, more spiritual themes that Saturn in Pisces represents. Are we getting lost in the minutiae, or are we ignoring the practical demands of life in favor of escapism? The Sun-Saturn opposition asks us to strike a balance between order and chaos, between the material and the spiritual. It’s a time to take stock of where we are, to confront any limitations or challenges with patience and discipline, and to remember that growth often requires us to face our fears and doubts head-on.
As always, the key lies in staying grounded while embracing the ever-present potential for transformation. These are the final days before Eclipse Season begins, so—at the very least—just try to get a little organized, donate unworn clothes, and make physical space for the new blessings that are all but guaranteed. These small acts of preparation can set the stage for the profound shifts that lie ahead. With clarity and intention, you'll be ready to welcome the changes Eclipse Season will bring.
Hopefully I’ll see some of you at Tuesday’s Coven Meeting! Remember, this is your last chance to manifest until the end of October (!!!), so you won’t want to miss it.
