Astrology Forecast for September 7-13, 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 after, gradually fading with each passing hour.
💫 To Make the Most of This Week:
This week, two planets change signs: Mercury moves into Libra, and Venus enters Scorpio. The New Moon in Virgo arrives. And there is another big highlight: Mercury forms a powerful alignment with Pluto, Uranus and Neptune.
Here is what to prioritize — and sidestep — in the week ahead:
-
Monday to Wednesday, wrap up projects and to-do items that have been nagging at you for a while. Don't start anything new. Save some unstructured time in your schedule to rest and recharge. (Balsamic Moon)
- If you’re working on your health or need to get more organized, set your intentions any time in the eight hours following Thursday’s New Moon.
- Save your errands and routine tasks for Friday — the Moon will be void of course throughout the day (details below 👇🏼)
- The weekend is an incredibly powerful time for writing, blogging, negotiating, applying for a job, pitching a project or proposal, and attending coaching or therapy sessions (Mercury, Uranus, Pluto and Neptune all align in a Kite pattern!)
🎂 Is Your Birthday This Week?
Mercury will be powerfully highlighted in your Solar Return chart. The upcoming 12 months can bring big breakthroughs as you shed outdated beliefs and thought patterns.
On a practical note, I hope you're a writer or that an important negotiation or contract is on your horizon in the next 12 months! Depending on the House Mercury falls into in your Solar Return chart, all kinds of exciting things are possible.
And for many of you, this will be a New Moon year — a year of new beginnings.

💫 Key Astro-Events:
And now for a close-up:
September 7, 8:27 p.m. to September 10, 8:27 p.m. PDT: Balsamic Moon
Nestled within the Balsamic Moon window is an Opportunity Period: September 8, 11:37 a.m. to September 9, 11:58 a.m. PDT. If you want to get rid of something fast, do it during this Opportunity Period! For example, if you're selling your kid's old clothes and want a quick sale, try listing them during this Opportunity Period.
Use common sense — if you list them way above the market price, an Opportunity Period won't help you 😀
Best for:
✅ Tying up loose ends
✅ Taking some extra time to rest and recharge
✅ Decluttering: physical, emotional, or digital.
Avoid:
⚠️ Starting anything new that you want to grow and succeed.
September 10, 8:27 p.m. PDT: New Moon in Virgo; Uranus turns retrograde; Mercury moves into Libra, and Venus enters Scorpio!
What can I tell you! It's an action-packed day in the skies.
This New Moon is especially supportive if you're focusing on your health, managing your weight, making healthy lifestyle changes, establishing a fitness routine, improving efficiency, or staying organized. Don't forget to set your intentions!
September 12: Grand Trine in Air!
My oh my! Mercury in Libra forms a Grand Trine with Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini. And an opposition from Neptune completes it into a Kite pattern!
Oops, I think I got a little carried away with all the astro-jargon there 😆 The key thing to know is that it's a rare aspect, giving extra oomph to the recommendations below:
Great for:
✅ Writing, blogging, and communication overall
✅ Socializing
✅ Breakthroughs in relationships with younger people (think of your kids, nieces and nephews, but also your students if you're a teacher)
✅ Cognitive therapy or coaching sessions (coaches and psychologists, pay attention!)
✅ Applying for jobs, pitching a project, or submitting a proposal to your boss. Too bad it's the weekend!
🕰️ Moon Void of Course
And here is a quick summary of the void-of-course times this week. Avoid starting anything new that you want to succeed during these periods:
- September 7, 6:40 a.m. to 9:49 a.m. PDT
- September 9, 11:58 a.m. to 12:35 p.m. PDT
- September 10, 10:52 p.m. to September 11, 4:52 p.m. PDT — it's a long one!
- September 13, 7:27 a.m. to 11:44 p.m. PDT — another long one.

"Oh gosh, I really hope they're not going through a marital breakdown," I thought as I reviewed a client's Solar Return chart. "This could also bring confrontations and decisions about property."
"I'm going through a divorce," was the first thing my client said. And sure enough, property was front and center — my client and their spouse couldn't agree on what to do about their house.
That's the power of a Solar Return: a precise, practical snapshot of your year ahead, mapped out before it unfolds.
Your Solar Return is your personal new year — a powerful map of the year ahead, unique to you. Virgo, it's time to book yours.
