As we glide through the celestial dance of the cosmos, September 22nd marks a pivotal moment with the arrival of the First Quarter Moon in the adventurous sign of Sagittarius.

Let’s explore what to expect during this celestial week of cosmic influences.
The First Quarter Moon is a time of action and decision-making, urging us to reassess the intentions set during the New Moon in Virgo earlier in the month. With the Moon in Sagittarius, the focus shifts towards exploration, expansion, and a yearning for freedom.

This lunar phase encourages you to take action on your goals, especially those related to learning, travel, and personal growth. It’s a time to embrace your inner adventurer and seek new experiences that broaden your horizons. Be prepared for a boost in confidence, but remember to temper your enthusiasm with a dash of practicality to ensure you stay on course.
The Sun’s entry into Libra heralds the autumnal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, bringing balance and harmony to our lives. Libra is the sign of partnership, diplomacy, and aesthetics. As the Sun moves into this airy sign, expect a shift in focus towards relationships, fairness, and aesthetic pursuits.
This transit encourages us to seek balance and harmony in our personal and professional connections. It’s an excellent time to mend fences, engage in negotiations, or simply appreciate the beauty in your surroundings. Libra’s energy encourages us to find common ground and consider the needs and perspectives of others, making it a favorable time for compromise and collaboration.
During this week, you may find yourself drawn to artistic endeavors, social gatherings, or activities that promote balance in your life. Take advantage of this period to enhance your sense of style, whether through fashion, design or simply cultivating a more balanced and harmonious lifestyle.
