Your Weekly Horoscope: September 4 to September 10, 2023
Your horoscope for the week of September 4 to September 10, 2023, is here, and the stars want you to step out into the light.
It's not your imagination; things do seem brighter all of a sudden. After weeks of causing relationship drama, fights, feuds, and more – Venus retrograde ended on September 3, 2023. Venus, the planet of love and romance, impacted everyone's relationships during its retrograde cycle. Some experienced heartbreak, while others deepened their love in the last weeks of summer. Regardless of whether you're starting September single or under a love spell, Venus retrograde highlighted the importance of choosing self-love over people-pleasing. It strengthened your ability to connect with yourself and embrace vulnerability without fear. Now that Venus is stationing direct, it's time to leave the baggage behind.
The good vibes just keep rolling on when Jupiter retrogrades in Taurus on September 4, 2023. Retrogrades in astrology have a negative reputation, but they can also bring surprise blessings from the Universe. This summer's Venus retrograde made you put your worth into perspective, and now Jupiter retrograde affirms what you will and won't accept. When Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, growth, and expansion, goes retrograde, it's a chance to rewrite your story. You're taking the lead rather than waiting for others to change your life. Missed opportunities, missed resources, and overlooked situations will return to your life until December 30, 2023, when Jupiter stations direct.
Finally, the week ends on September 6, 2023, with a dazzling Mercury cazimi in Virgo. Communication planet Mercury began its cosmic backspin on August 23, 2023, and this week, it transforms from the evening star to the morning star during a rare cazimi. During its evening star phase, Mercury appears less spirited and curious and more reflective and introspective. Now, as Mercury transforms into a morning star, you'll find yourself seeking new ideas and forms of self-expression. This event marks the halfway point for Mercury retrograde in Virgo, making it an ideal time for finalizing and revising plans. You'll be clear to take action when Mercury retrograde ends on September 15, 2023.
