Astrology Forecast for September 21 - 27, 2026
Note: Dates and times in this forecast are given in Pacific Time (PDT). If you're in a different time zone, please adjust accordingly — for some time zones, this may mean a different day entirely.
Unless I provide a specific timeframe, we'll feel the energies 24–72 hours before the date I mention (the date when the planetary alignment is exact).
They'll gain strength as they approach and linger for 24–48 hours afterward, gradually fading with each passing hour.
💫 To Make the Most of This Week:
This is the most eventful and powerful stretch of the month astrologically.
Uranus, Pluto, and Neptune have been forming a rare, long-lasting planetary pattern since 2025. This week, the Sun and Moon activate it in a spectacular way.
The Sun, Uranus, and Pluto form a Grand Trine in Air. At the same time, the Full Moon opposition between the Sun in Libra and the Moon in Aries - joined by Neptune - creates a powerful Kite pattern. This makes the Full Moon especially potent. If you work with the Lunar Cycle for manifestation, don't miss this one!

Monday is fantastic for negotiations, contracts, motivational speeches, and presentations. (Mercury sextile Jupiter).

Tuesday to early Wednesday brings a short but versatile Opportunity Period, great for networking, starting new projects, and buying or selling (details below 👇🏼). And the Sun enters Libra! ♎🎂
-
Thursday is the day to work on your art or spiritual pursuits — or to connect with the Divine. Book a Tarot reading! (Waxing Moon in Pisces).
- Friday to Sunday is a very powerful time to work on healthy assertiveness and setting boundaries. If you need to project a powerful presence at work, Friday is your day. (Sun trine Pluto; Full Moon in Aries).

Now, about Opportunity Periods. If you're new to them, think of them as electional astrology lite. If you don't have the time or experience to build a full electional chart, look for Opportunity Periods — they tend to boost your chances of a successful outcome.
This Opportunity Period is short, but it's very versatile.
Best for:
✅ Starting new projects
✅ Networking and connecting with others
✅ Buying and selling
SEPTEMBER 24–25: Waxing Moon in Pisces
One of my favourite times in the lunar cycle 🪄

SEPTEMBER 24–28: Grand Trine in Air + Full Moon Kite Pattern
From Sept. 24–28, the Sun, Pluto, and Uranus form a powerful Grand Trine in Air. At the Full Moon, the Moon in Aries joins Neptune - the stars are aligned in a Kite pattern!
It's an incredible few days filled with potential for deep breakthroughs, especially for Libras, but also for Aquarius, Gemini, and Aries.
If your birthday is between Sept. 22 and Oct. 2, this powerhouse of energy will be locked into your Solar Return chart. The next 12 months can bring some serious breakthroughs and big, beneficial changes.
Best for:
✅ Working on ingrained thought patterns that are holding you back
✅ Having a courageous conversation and setting a healthy boundary
✅ Projecting a powerful presence at work (book a meeting with your boss and pitch your big idea!)
✅ Brainstorming innovative solutions, especially for business or technology
✅ Making a decisive change to your image, message, or personal brand. If you're a people pleaser, it's a powerful few days to break out of that pattern.
✅ Launching a project involving technology, energy production, or energy distribution
✅ Launching a project that challenges the status quo or introduces a new way of doing things
