🌟 Welcome In 🌟
Hi friends — whether you’re stopping by for the very first time or you’re one of my regular readers, I’m so glad you’re here. 💫
👋 I’m Laura, intuitive astrologer and psychic medium, and today I’m keeping things short and sweet with a mini astrology blog.
Think of this as your quick cosmic check-in — a little guidance to help you flow with the vibes of the day and feel more aligned with yourself.
✨ First, a big happy first day of September! 🍂 And for those of you in the U.S., happy Labor Day — may today bring you rest, laughter, and maybe even a little fun in the sun before the seasons start shifting.
✨ September’s Energy at a Glance ✨
This month opens with the Sun in Virgo, giving September the feeling of a cosmic reset button. Virgo is practical, earthy, and detail-oriented, helping us tidy up our routines, refine our habits, and clear out what no longer serves. Think of this energy like cleaning a window — the clearer it gets, the easier it is to see the bigger picture of where you’re headed.
But September isn’t all Virgo. By the end of the month, the Sun shifts into Libra, arriving with the Autumn Equinox. That’s when the focus turns from self-improvement to relationships, balance, and connection. So this month carries two distinct but beautifully complementary chapters:
🌱 Virgo energy → organize, refine, and reset.
🤝 Libra energy → balance, connect, and harmonize.
✨ Your September theme: Start with clarity, end with connection.
✨ Today’s Breakdown ✨
The Sun in Virgo highlights order, wellness, and improvement. You may feel motivated to clear space, tackle a long-standing task, or simply make something in your life flow more smoothly.
Meanwhile, the Moon in Sagittarius is pulling you in the opposite direction — toward freedom, fun, and expansion. It’s that classic tug-of-war between “handle responsibilities” and “let’s go on an adventure.” The magic is in weaving both. Take care of one thing that grounds you, then let yourself explore something that excites your spirit.
With Mercury and Venus in Leo, communication and creativity are bold, heartfelt, and magnetic. This is your reminder not to hide your voice or your light. If you’ve been holding back, today’s energy supports expressing yourself in ways that feel authentic and uplifting.
And Mars in Libra is giving us a sneak peek of what the end of September will bring. This energy reminds us that collaboration, fairness, and partnership matter. Notice where you’re being asked to meet someone in the middle or bring more harmony into your interactions.
🌙 How to Work With It 🌙
• Balance it out → Handle one Virgo-style task (organizing, planning, completing a detail), then reward yourself with something Sagittarius-inspired (laughter, learning, adventure, or play).
• Express yourself → Let Mercury and Venus in Leo give you confidence. Speak your truth with warmth, share your creativity, or wear something that makes you feel alive.
• Practice harmony → Mars in Libra encourages compromise. Notice where you can soften a stance, listen more, or bring balance to a conversation.
✨ Today’s reminder: Structure and spontaneity don’t have to compete — together, they make life flow.
🌟 September Affirmation 🌟
“I welcome this new month with open arms. I clear space for what matters, create balance where I need it, and trust that joy, clarity, and connection are guiding me forward.”
🔮 What’s Rising to the Surface for You
✨ Read for your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs — each reveals a different layer of your story. Your Sun shows where you’re shining, your Moon reveals what you’re feeling, and your Rising highlights how today’s energy plays out in your daily life.
⸻
♈ Aries
Today sparks a mix of productivity and play. You may feel pressure to handle responsibilities, but your heart wants freedom and fresh experiences. Don’t ignore that adventurous pull — it can fuel your motivation rather than distract you.
Tip: Pair your to-do list with a reward. Tackle one task, then treat yourself to something that lights you up.
⸻
♉ Taurus
Comfort feels safe, but the cosmos are nudging you toward growth. A conversation, idea, or opportunity could push you outside your usual space. Instead of resisting, notice how curiosity can lead to deeper stability in the long run.
Tip: Try something new in a small, grounded way — a fresh recipe, a creative class, or a conversation that stretches your perspective.
⸻
♊ Gemini
Connections are your superpower today. With Mercury and Venus in your corner, your words carry weight. Just remember: how you say something matters as much as what you say.
Tip: Use humor and warmth when sharing your truth. Lighthearted energy makes your ideas even more magnetic.
⸻
♋ Cancer
The Virgo Sun highlights details in your routines, health, or finances, while the Sagittarius Moon reminds you not to overthink. Balance is the sweet spot: tend to what grounds you while keeping your bigger dreams in sight.
Tip: Make one small change in your daily rhythm today that supports long-term growth — like adjusting a habit, drinking more water, or setting a boundary.
⸻
♌ Leo
With Mercury and Venus lighting up your sign, the spotlight is on you. People are drawn to your energy, but the Virgo Sun reminds you to ground that fire in action.
Tip: Express yourself boldly — through your words, your art, or even your outfit. Watch how your authenticity attracts exactly the right energy.
⸻
♍ Virgo
The Sun in your sign puts you in a powerful position, but don’t let responsibility dim your light. Today asks you to honor the details and give yourself grace. You don’t need to have it all figured out.
Tip: Celebrate one win today, no matter how small. Gratitude for progress boosts momentum more than criticism ever will.
⸻
♎ Libra
Mars in your sign is charging you up with energy and drive — but it may also stir restlessness if you overcommit. The key is pacing yourself.
Tip: Move your body today. A walk, stretch, or dance session helps channel Mars energy productively and clears your mind.
⸻
♏ Scorpio
Your vision for the future is strong right now. The Sagittarius Moon pulls you toward big dreams, while Virgo energy asks you to refine the steps. It’s not either/or — it’s blending strategy with inspiration.
Tip: Write down your long-term dream, then choose one realistic step you can take today to move closer.
⸻
♐ Sagittarius
The Moon is in your sign, and you’re feeling it. Expect a surge of energy, curiosity, or restlessness. Others may look to you for inspiration, so share your light — but also honor your need for freedom.
Tip: Do one thing today that makes you feel truly alive — whether that’s an adventure, learning something new, or simply saying “yes” to joy.
⸻
♑ Capricorn
You’re focused on building something lasting, but today reminds you that connection is just as important as achievement. Virgo energy supports your discipline, while the Sagittarius Moon asks you to loosen your grip.
Tip: Allow room in your schedule for spontaneity or connection. A meaningful moment could mean more than a perfectly checked-off list.
⸻
♒ Aquarius
Partnerships and collaborations are highlighted. You may feel drawn into deep conversations or teamwork that challenges your perspective. Independence matters, but so does compromise.
Tip: Share one idea openly today, even if it feels vulnerable. The dialogue it sparks may be exactly what you need.
⸻
♓ Pisces
September begins with a focus on your well-being. The Virgo Sun nudges you to fine-tune routines and boundaries, while the Sagittarius Moon reminds you that joy and exploration are healing too.
Tip: Choose one nourishing ritual today — journaling, moving your body, or simply stepping outside to breathe in fresh air.

🌌 Message from Spirit
Before we close today’s check-in, I pulled a card for us — Soul Power (Archangel Uriel).
This card is about remembering the strength you already carry. Life on Earth can feel dense and overwhelming at times, but your soul has walked through challenges before — in this life and others — and you’ve always found a way forward. That resilience is part of who you are.
✨ Spirit is reminding you that your body and soul work together to keep you safe, grounded, and moving forward. Your body’s instincts aren’t flaws — they’re signals of protection:
• When you get a cut, your skin automatically begins to heal.
• When you’re sick, your immune system fights for you.
• When you feel anxiety, your nervous system is alerting you: “Pay attention — something feels off.”
Even the moments that feel uncomfortable — panic, fear, or shut-down — are your body’s way of saying, “I’m protecting you the best I can right now.”
The shift comes when you stop fighting those reactions and instead ask, What do I need to feel safe and supported in this moment? That’s where healing begins.
🌙 Practical Ways to Tap into Soul Power + Body Wisdom
• Ground with breath → Put one hand on your chest, inhale slowly, exhale longer than you inhaled. This tells your nervous system: You are safe now.
• Give your body a voice → Ask, “What do you need right now?” Listen for the first word, feeling, or image that comes. Often, it’s something simple: water, rest, movement, or reassurance.
• Reframe symptoms as signals → Instead of thinking, “Why is my body failing me?” shift to, “My body is speaking to me. What is it asking for?”
• Pair action with spirit → Take a small physical step (drink water, stretch, journal), then pair it with intention (imagine light filling your body, write one sentence to your soul). The blend of action + spirit creates real change.
🌟 Affirmations for Today 🌟
• “My body protects me, and my soul guides me.”
• “I trust my body’s wisdom and honor its signals.”
• “Every day I grow stronger, calmer, and more connected to myself.”
🌸 Reflection to Carry With You
As September begins, let this be your anchor: You are not just your challenges, and you are not just your thoughts. You are a soul in a resilient body that is wired to heal, adapt, and grow. Every breath is a chance to reset. Every choice to pause, listen, or care for yourself is a step into your soul power.
