Daily Horoscope: Moon in Aries, September 22, 2021

Moon in Aries, Wednesday, September 22, brings pressure to bear on an issue where several differing – but equally strong – opinions are being expressed, as the moon in an assertive and self directed fire sign forms a cardinal (think “bossy and insists on being right”) T-square with debate champion Mercury in Libra, and controlling and domineering Pluto in Capricorn. The sun leaves the mutable earth sign of Virgo today, entering Libra, where it joins the action oriented planet, Mars, also in Libra, forming a Grand Trine in the air element with the North Node in Gemini and Saturn in Aquarius, which may motivate you to make an important decision or launch a plan that will significantly impact your future. New people may be entering your life as result of the Grand Trine who will either help you for a time, or become life long friends. In “The Lord of the Rings”, today is the birthday of both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, and the story begins with their birthday party and Bilbo’s departure from the Shire. He leaves the Ring behind with Frodo, but it isn’t until Frodo flees the Shire with the Ring, and listens to the arguments at the Council of Elrond, that he chooses, of his own volition, the seemingly impossible task of carrying the Ring to its destruction, and the Fellowship of the Ring forms around the Ring-Bearer, vowing to help him. As you contemplate the energy of the equinox today, where light and dark are in equal measure, the moon in Aries can help you to see what YOU must do, even if you feel powerless or overwhelmed while pressured by the T-square, and other people’s opinions. The Grand Trine can line up the assistance you will need once you commit to your plan and announce your intentions. If you are facing something that feels as daunting as Frodo’s journey, just remember – Boromir said, “One does not simply walk into Mordor.”- which is precisely what Frodo and Sam did.
