Astrology forecast 🌠
Sept 22 | Finding the balance between socialization and rest
Sun in Libra
Libra season begins, and what a time for this beautiful energy to enter the cosmos! As soon as this ingress happens, the Sun will trine the Moon in Gemini. A sign that this season will be both energetically and mentally bustling! With all the air energy in the ether, you’re guaranteed to have transformative weeks ahead.
As we enter the coming weeks of autumn, the energy that the Sun in Libra brings definitely has its purpose. You’ll be able to go with the flow and find the lessons woven between the mundane areas of your life. Libra's energy is incredibly gifted at seeing all sides of the story. You’ll be able to be introspective and see things externally at the same time.
This energy can be a bit overwhelming, it’s important to lean into the busyness and see where you can make room for more grace. Take advantage of this hustle and bustle before the stillness of winter that’s approaching. Try to see both sides of the coin, even when it might seem unconventional.
💡 This is a fabulous time to focus on tending to loved ones, family, friends, and your community in general. Don’t get too caught up in the details and forget to take in the beauty that surrounds you. Make time to go on walks with friends, get tea with your partner, and engage in some quality time. The Sun in Libra enables you to sink into the finer things of life. Right now your soul is crying out to enjoy the finer things. Just make sure you don’t overcommit to too many social gatherings!
Sept 22 | Working with the shadow around your art and relationships
Venus moves into Scorpio
Venus will be moving out of one of its more comfortable signs of Libra into the Mar’s ruled domain of Scorpio. Of course, how this will manifest will very much be determined by your natal chart and where your natural Venus resides. So buckle up, and get ready to get serious about your passions in a way you haven’t before.
As I say every year that Venus ingresses into Scorpio; this transit is a huge push to bring your creative endeavors into a different light. Get weird, and experiment with them in ways you normally wouldn’t dream of. Try new classes, learn from different instructors, and do this all without telling a soul. Allow yourself to fall into creativity without anyone passing judgment or giving you the evil eye. When you get lost in the creative sauce without any external factors, it allows you to have so much more grace for yourself and the process.
On the flipside during this time, you might even feel like abandoning all of your creative projects. You might get in your head about the should, would, and could. Everything might feel overwhelming and you might lose that creative passion. You might even catch yourself with a “woe is me” sort of attitude. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself overthinking your relationship, as this mindset is only temporary.
💡If you find yourself in a rut concerning your passions or creativity, you have two options. You can create some healthy distance between yourself and your art, writing, relationship, or creative flow. Or, you can work with the more harsh feelings that are coming up and work through them. You have the option to learn from your shadow or deal with it at a different time. What matters most, is that you don’t abandon all hope and walk away from everything completely. Falling in the victim mindset around this portion of your life doesn’t help anyone, and it certainly doesn’t empower your future self.
Need insight into how astrological transits will influence your daily life? Look no further! Whether you're new to astrology or a seasoned enthusiast, a natal chart reading is your perfect starting point. Discover how astrology can bring clarity and foresight to your everyday experiences. Let me guide you toward a deeper understanding and peace through the wisdom of the stars.

What’s in my cup ☕
Chamomile
Personally, I love utilizing this herb in the evenings, especially as the time change approaches. I find myself making an infusion when I get home from late events, or when my mind needs some assistance calming down.
Chamomile is a gentle and soothing herb that’s been used for centuries to calm the mind and body. It’s most known for its relaxing effects on the nervous system, making it a go-to for easing stress, anxiety, and even mild insomnia. Chamomile works by boosting the neurotransmitter GABA, which helps your body naturally unwind.
Studies have backed up chamomile’s calming powers. One study even found that regular use of chamomile extract could significantly reduce symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). If you’re looking to nurture your nervous system in a natural way, chamomile’s sweet, apple-like flavor makes it an easy and pleasant choice.
