Astrology for Entrepreneurs – Week of September 26 – 30, 2021

Think twice

“The best thinking is rethinking”– Shane Parrish, Entrepreneur

Mercury Retrograde starts, the third one for this year, where you get to rethink your relationships in your business. Relationships are everything in your business.

Are your relationships with your true collaborators? Collaborators that are as powerful as you? That trust themselves like you? That value the same outcomes as you?

Venus, our power to connect, activates both Neptune and Jupiter this week. Our feelings could be expansive but we need to really focus in and choose our actions wisely otherwise there could be repercussions from overdoing it.

We get to rethink who and how we attract.

Mercury Station Retrograde – Libra 25°

Rethink powerful connections

What new perspectives on relationships in your business are coming through?

Relationships challenge you to be the best version of yourself. You need relationships in your business that inspire change in yourself and others. Relationships that show you how to take lead, even if you’ve been hurt taking initiative in the past. Relationships that let you stretch and expand your capacity to build platforms and communities of other changemakers.

During this Mercury Retrograde, as you rethink relationships, you will be sparked to rethink connections and add a new spin in your business relationships with those that share your impactful values.

Today on Sunday, September 26, Mercury steps on the brakes and appears to come to a stop before shifting backwards. Now through October 18, Mercury will appear to be in reverse and not complete the entire retrograde cycle on November 3. When this thrice yearly reset is complete, you will have a new view on relationships in your business and call in those that stretch you into committing to yourself and your collaborators so you can all move past your old wounds and change the world.

For a day before and after as Mercury drills down on Libra 25°, if you have planets or angles near 25° of Cardinal signs, this feels particularly intense as your mind begins to question as previous understandings begin to break down. This breakdown is needed so you can break through. Trust in the process. Get curious with this intensity, it’s giving you a clue at what needs to be reorganized.

For the next few weeks through November 3, see where on your chart contains Libra 10° – 25.° This is the area of your business that requires rethinking relationships. Mercury will highlight this area by highlighting it two more times – the first time started back on September 7.

Relax and take care

What deep hurts need releasing today?

A great day to spend with yourself

The last quarter moon phase is an integration phase in our lives and business. A time to cultivate all that we have learned and assess what we want to continue with and what we want to churn back into the earth as nourishment for the seeds we’ve planted.

If your emotions are running high thinking of the past, ride this wave and do your best to move it through. Do not let the emotions take root in your vessel. Sometimes a good cry or scream in a pillow is so healing on a day like today.

With the Cancer 4Q Moon, spend some integration time, taking time for self care, family time, or cozy time at home. Self care isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity you deserve.

9/29/2021

If you’ve moved any hurt feelings out of your body yesterday, you now have the emotional, spiritual and physical energy to create. Two exact aspects support your vision and will power.

An amazing day to charm and create

Heightened manifestation

What beauty do you now recognize?

There is something subtle today that feels so true and powerful. This something is more energetic than tangible. It’s as if someone has put on your rose-colored glasses and now you can see the truth and beauty that was already there. You feel an openness despite the challenges that allow you to feel compassion and kindness. If you choose to do anything with this energy be gentle, be magical, and experience the pleasures of life. When you do, your attraction and charm powers will work their magic in your business and romantic life.

Creative restrictions prove fruitful

What containers can you create to focus your creative powers?

Today you may be feeling expansive and magnetic but you still have focused energy to work and create. To help you contain this energy, see what you can remove. See how you can create more with less. Aim for mastery instead of all the bells and whistles.

Shine brighter and be noticed

With whom can you share your elevated feelings?

Venus and Jupiter, the two traditionally lucky planets, meet up today for a bit of creative friction. You may feel energized and excited but this energy can easily turn into impulsiveness. Be aware to not over give, over do, overspend. Instead over-thank, over-contemplate, and uber-radiate. Choose wisely how you share your feelings and with whom you share your graciousness. Today can be a fun day if you consciously work with this expansive energy.

Again be aware of over exaggeration or over spending.

Especially energizing if you have planets or angles in late degrees of Fixed signs
