weekly horoscopes for 9/14-9/20

it's an exciting, changeable week this week as we have the third of five saturn/uranus oppositions occurring on tuesday morning and there are echos of this aspect throughout the week as the sun, mercury and venus activate it. this opposition is instigating massive paradigm change, both collectively and personally. this dance between the old and the new, the past and the future, status quo and change, is asking that each of us find our own assemblage point that honors where we have been while staying open to where we are going. where this falls in your chart you have been undergoing massive shifts and changes. at times it can feel like you are stuck (saturn), at other times it can feel like you are electrified (uranus). if you hold on to the past then uranus will do what he needs to do to get you to let go of it. if you are a rebellious zealot who has no grounding and is unable to commit to anything, then saturn will do what he needs to do to teach you valuable lessons about patience, responsibility and sticking with something. this aspect is the midpoint of the transit, as it is the third in the series of five, and it is the last that will occur in the signs of virgo/pisces (the other two will be in libra/aries as both planets shift into new signs). so this third opposition is asking us to assess where we are and see how far we've come in this shift. are you on target with your soul's journey? if not, what can you do to get there? this week could be a bit jolting if you are too far behind, but if you are in alignment then things will flow in unbelievable ways. in virgo and pisces the balance is between the manifest and the unmanifest, the body/mind and the spirit/soul, solidifying and dissolving. we are learning responsibility to our embodied experience- which includes taking care of our health, doing the day to day things that may be monotonous and boring, and fully engaging in this 3d world. we are also learning to open up our higher minds to new mystical experiences that are illuminating, awakening, and enlightening. this balance requires that both ends of the spectrum are integrated. flying out into the ethers and being ungrounded does not serve you. staying stuck in the 3d world and closing yourself off to spiritual experience does not serve you. it's about bridging the two- bringing heaven down to earth. this week you have the opportunity to do just that! enjoy :)
