Pisces Weekly Horoscope

The week at a glance

The First Quarter in Sagittarius on Friday, September 18 falls in your 10th house of career and public standing. Quarter Moons are decision points rather than turning points — a nudge to adjust rather than restart.

Underneath that, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are retrograde all week. Here is where the slower bodies are sitting, counted from Pisces:

• The Sun in Virgo — your 7th house. It spends this stretch of the year illuminating that part of your life.
• Mercury in Libra — your 8th house. It means the thinking happens there, whether or not the doing does.
• Venus in Scorpio — your 9th house. It is the reason that part of life is currently the least of your problems.
• Mars in Cancer — your 5th house. It puts your energy and your irritability in the same place.
• Jupiter in Leo — your 6th house. It opens it up, which is an opportunity and an invitation to overdo it.
• Saturn in Aries (retrograde) — your 2nd house. It wants it built properly, and will make a second attempt necessary if it is not.

The Moon through your week

It begins the week in Libra, through the private, undiscussed material. From Monday, September 14 it moves into Scorpio, through the part of you that wants a bigger horizon. On Wednesday, September 16 it crosses into Sagittarius, across the top of your chart, where other people can see you. Saturday, September 19 takes it into Capricorn, through friends and networks.

Everything else here changes over months or years. The Moon changes every couple of days, and that is the part you actually notice.

Love and connection

Venus is in Scorpio, your 9th house of travel, study and the bigger picture, so this week the frame widens — travel, study, publishing, anything that enlarges the map. Book the trip, start the course, or read past the headline on something you care about.

Venus squares Pluto on Tuesday, September 15 — they pull at cross purposes, and the friction is the point rather than a fault. That is the day the romantic weather of the week is set, whether you are choosing it or reacting to it.

Work and money

Mars is in Cancer, your 5th house, which is where your effort will actually land this week — romance, creative work, children and play. Mercury in Libra puts the conversations and paperwork in your 8th house instead, so the thinking and the doing are aimed at different targets.

The Sun is still in Virgo, your 7th house, which is the background theme for the whole month rather than just this week: nothing much resolves alone — the week runs through other people.

Wellbeing

The Moon does not touch your twelfth house this week, so there is no built-in rest window. You will have to make one. Energy tracks the Moon this week: it shifts around the quarter Moon on Friday, September 18. As a water sign you absorb the mood of whatever room you are in; some of this week's tiredness will not be yours.

Dates that matter

6 aspects perfect this week. These are the ones with enough weight to notice:

• Monday, September 14 — Mercury trine Uranus. They agree without effort — pleasant, and easy to waste if you have nothing queued up. It connects your 8th house (shared money, depth and change) with your 4th house (home, family and roots).
• Monday, September 14 — Sun sextile Mars. They offer an opening that only works if you take it. It connects your 7th house (partnership and other people) with your 5th house (romance, creativity and play).
• Tuesday, September 15 — Venus square Pluto. They pull at cross purposes, and the friction is the point rather than a fault. It connects your 9th house (travel, study and the bigger picture) with your 12th house (rest, endings and the inner life).
• Tuesday, September 15 — Venus quincunx Neptune. They never quite line up, which shows as a nagging sense of something being slightly off. It connects your 9th house (travel, study and the bigger picture) with your 2nd house (money, values and self-worth).
• Wednesday, September 16 — Neptune sextile Pluto. They offer an opening that only works if you take it. It connects your 2nd house (money, values and self-worth) with your 12th house (rest, endings and the inner life).
