Adjusting Your Daily Habits

Astrology Forecast for Emotional Balance September 2 – 11

Virgo Season Meditation for Grounding

At the Virgo New Moon, get serious about adjusting your daily habits to better support what you can realistically manage. As you contemplate which habits to shift, consider how your spiritual intentions fit into your longer term goals. Recent neuroscience research suggests that choosing altruistic goals increases your ability to function from the parasympathetic nervous system, the state from which optimum health emerges. To weather upcoming bumps in the road, keep this central tenet in mind as the Moon waxes towards the dynamic first quarter phase this week.

The Gift of Extra Time

You may wake in a bit of a muddle on September 3. Neptune square Mars suggests that despite a strong urge for action, not much comes from forcing things through. Hasty propositions promise to fizzle out. It may be best to set aside individual ventures and instead join others in spiritual practices such as yoga or meditation. This also prepares you to navigate an old behavioral pattern that could pop up later in the day. Jot down unexpected insights on September 4. Let your inner musings continue until the opportunity naturally arises to connect with someone who crosses your path. Mars departs from jittery Gemini to enter the moody waters of Cancer. Put yourself on notice to pay closer attention to sensitive emotions floating just beneath the surface. Give yourself the gift of extra time as much as possible for at least the next two months.

Quiet Contemplation

With the Moon in Libra, it feels effortless to stay on an even keel on September 5. Enjoy pleasant exchanges and exercise your power of choice in simple matters. An easy benevolence continues to permeate the social atmosphere through September 6. Humor and affable banter supports a strong desire to include others and maintain a welcoming environment. On September 7, the mental equilibrium of the past couple days seems to evaporate, as a persistent insecurity reemerges. Moving gently toward the issue mitigates the intensity, so carve out time for quiet contemplation if you need it.

Installing Altruism

On September 8, the Sun opposing Saturn raises the issue of accountability. This likely refers back to the idea of installing altruism as a central component in your current work, plan, or project. Meditate on feelings that arise in this connection, though don’t brood on perceived failings. Keep your hands busy with tangible tasks to alleviate tension. Your attention turns more fully to your to-do list as Mercury enters Virgo on September 9. Notice what feelings drive your motivation and enjoy a welcome lightening of mood when it comes. Edgy wit spices up mundane matters. September 10 looks to be a day of cheerful engagement, including a brief interaction that corroborates a feeling of things flowing in the right direction. Revisit the spirit of your intention to contribute to the wellbeing of others. At the Sagittarius First Quarter Moon on September 11, inject a sense of optimism and adventure into daily routines.
