Or come say hi! This week’s big three: 01:11 – On Thursday, Venus enters Scorpio (September 10 – October 25, 2026), where it will retrograde back to 22 Libra. 07:54 – Check out Celeste’s astrology readings and cosmic coaching packages, which are personalized to meet your unique needs. And remember: You don’t need to know any astrology! 08:44 – Also on Thursday, Uranus turns retrograde at 5 Gemini (September 10, 2026 – February 8, 2027). 16:05 – Thursday is busy! We have a New Moon at 18 Virgo (September 10, 2026). 26:13 – The Celestial Reference Guide helps you move from astrology memorization to interpretation. Through observation, journaling, and practical exercises, you'll learn to connect the symbols into a meaningful story and build confidence in your own interpretations. Word of the day: 27:10 – On Sunday, CHOP is the word of the day. The Cancer Moon squares Saturn and meets Mars, demanding firmer boundaries. Cut back what drains you but pause before making an emotional decision you cannot undo. Frustration may intensify around housing, borders, and authority. Necessary limits could be enforced abruptly. 27:55 – Monday’s word is EMPTY. The Cancer Moon squares Venus before entering Leo and beginning the balsamic phase. Stop pouring energy into something that has run its course. Last-ditch diplomacy may fail as pride, emotional needs, and relationship expectations collide. The empty space is preparing us for a new story. 29:33 – Tuesday's is TRANSFORMER. The Leo Moon meets Jupiter at 15 degrees, amplifying confidence, creativity, and emotion. A dramatic realization could transform your outlook. Something loud, bright, or larger than life may shatter the silence. Watch for a major announcement, spectacle, storm, or electrical event. 30:33 – Wednesday's is TRIBUNAL. Release the need for approval as the Leo Moon meets the South Node. When the Moon enters Virgo, examine the evidence and make a clear, practical decision. A powerful group may convene to negotiate, judge, or determine someone’s future. The Moon square Uranus could bring a shocking ruling, reversal, or fracture within an alliance. 31:58 – Thursday's word is UNVEIL. Venus and Mercury change signs, Uranus stations retrograde, and the Virgo New Moon seeds a new chapter. A revelation may expose what is really happening in a relationship, agreement, or financial situation. Secrets, reversals, breakups, lawsuits, and unexpected announcements may disrupt carefully constructed public images. 34:45 – Friday’s word is ADDRESS. The Libra Moon meets Mercury and opposes Neptune. Address a misunderstanding directly, read the fine print, and ask questions before agreeing to anything. Negotiations may reveal deception, confusing language, or a hidden clause. Words could also be used to spread propaganda or inflame religious and ideological divisions. 36:12 – On Saturday, the word is VOGUE. Notice how appearance, fashion, and messaging influence your perceptions. Do not confuse an attractive presentation with the truth. Mercury trines Pluto and opposes Neptune as the Libra Moon opposes Saturn. Fashion, uniforms, imagery, or celebrity culture may be used to romanticize authority, conflict, or an agenda returning from the past. 37:14 – Thanks for listening to Celestial Insights!
