What the Sky Is Saying This Week
September 6 – September 12, 2026 · General Forecast
Last week closed on a promise of quiet, practical detail work as the Moon waned toward darkness. This is the week that promise comes fully due. Thursday brings a New Moon exact in Virgo, and it does not arrive alone: Venus moves into Scorpio, Mercury moves into Libra, and Uranus stations retrograde in Gemini, four genuine shifts landing inside the same twenty-four hours. This is also, this year, a week bookended by two calendars at once. The first Selichot service of the Jewish year is traditionally recited in the small hours of Sunday morning, opening the penitential prayers of the Days of Awe, and Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, begins at sundown Friday, less than two days after the astrological one. Both ask something similar of you this week: take an honest, unglamorous accounting of what actually needs to change, before the door opens on whatever comes next.
Sunday, September 6th, opens quietly and a little seriously. The Moon, still in sensitive Cancer, squares Saturn at 8:54 AM Eastern, a sober note that fits the morning: the first Selichot service of the year is traditionally recited in these same small hours, the start of a season built around honest self-examination. An hour later, at 9:59 AM Eastern, the Sun sextiles the Moon and eases the mood. By mid-afternoon, at 3:06 PM Eastern, the Moon meets Mars, also in Cancer, adding a protective, slightly defensive edge to whatever the day has you turning over in your mind.
Monday, September 7th, is mostly a Cancer morning easing into Leo by afternoon. Mercury sextiles the Moon at 3:01 AM Eastern. The Moon squares Venus and goes void of course at 9:39 AM Eastern, so treat the late morning as a pause rather than a decision point. At 12:49 PM Eastern the Moon leaves Cancer for bold Leo, and the evening turns busy: Moon opposite Pluto at 6:31 PM Eastern intensifies a feeling, Moon trine Neptune ten minutes later softens it again, and Moon sextile Uranus at 10:23 PM Eastern adds a flash of the unexpected before bed.
Tuesday, September 8th, belongs to Leo. The Moon trines Saturn at 11:04 AM Eastern, giving structure to whatever Monday night stirred up, then meets Jupiter exactly at 2:36 PM Eastern, a warm, generous, confidence-building conjunction. This is the kind of afternoon that makes a plan feel bigger than it did the day before, in a good way.
Wednesday, September 9th, is the last quiet stretch before Thursday. The Moon sextiles Venus and goes void of course at 2:58 PM Eastern, then enters practical Virgo at 3:35 PM Eastern, arriving a full day ahead of the New Moon and giving you a head start on the sorting-out mood the rest of the week is about to ask for.
Thursday, September 10th, is the week's true center, and a crowded one. At 4:07 AM Eastern, Venus leaves her home sign of Libra for intense, private Scorpio. At 12:20 PM Eastern, Mercury leaves Virgo for diplomatic Libra. Sometime in the early afternoon, Uranus stations retrograde at 5 degrees 42 minutes of Gemini, turning the planet of sudden change inward for the next five months. And at 11:27 PM Eastern, the Sun and Moon meet exactly at 18 degrees 25 minutes of Virgo for the New Moon, a practical, detail-minded beginning that favors one small, sustainable change over a sweeping overhaul.
Friday, September 11th, the Moon leaves Virgo for graceful Libra at 7:51 PM Eastern, right as Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown, the Jewish New Year arriving the same evening the Moon itself starts fresh in a new sign. Whatever the Virgo New Moon planted Thursday night gets its first taste of relationship and reflection tonight.
Saturday, September 12th, the Moon spends its early hours busy in Libra: conjunct Mercury at 12:21 AM Eastern, trine Pluto at 1:48 AM, opposite Neptune at 1:53 AM, and trine Uranus at 6:03 AM. Around midday, Mercury itself trines Pluto at 11:59 AM Eastern and opposes Neptune at 12:38 PM Eastern, the same combination the Moon touched hours earlier now landing on the planet of communication directly, so choose your words with some care today. The week closes with the Moon opposite Saturn at 7:08 PM Eastern, a sober, realistic note to end on.

The Moon, Day by Day
Your daily emotional weather
How to Work This Week
Thursday's New Moon in Virgo is a genuine beginning, but a modest one by design. Choose one small, sustainable habit to change rather than an ambitious overhaul, especially if the Sun and Moon are landing in the same house of your chart this week.
Uranus stationing retrograde in Gemini turns the next five months into a review period for how you communicate, what you follow online, and who is actually in your local circle. Let this be a season of reconsidering rather than a season of forcing new change.
Venus moving into Scorpio trades Libra's polite balance for something more honest and more intense. Do not mistake that intensity for instability. It is simply asking for more truth than usual in a relationship or a desire.
Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown Friday, less than forty-eight hours after Thursday's New Moon. Use the overlap. Whatever intention the New Moon plants deserves a first real, physical follow-through before the weekend closes.
