Latest / Cozy with the Cosmos with Astrologer Sarah Paasch / CLEAR CHOICES Inside the Chaos 🌑 Virgo New Moon Astrology Forecast (Sept 10–16th 2026)
Transcript
- 0:00Hello everybody, welcome back to our weekly astrology podcast
- 0:03where we light our candles, we cozy up in front of an air
- 0:06conditioning unit because there is a crazy heat wave happening
- 0:09in San Diego, CA, and we're going to talk a lot of things.
- 0:13Cosmos, this week we got that break, We got that time off.
- 0:16Last week I called it kind of a week of eclipse integration and
- 0:19this week it's the kind of exact opposite thing.
- 0:22I am your host, astrologer and coach, Sarah Posh.
- 0:25I am living in the mess with you, and I will do my best to
- 0:28translate what matters, what you might be able to support
- 0:31yourself and moving through it with as little suffering or as
- 0:35much suffering as we can eliminate as possible and as
- 0:37much feeling of agency and choice and clarity.
- 0:40We're going to do our best. That's what we're going to do
- 0:42here today. I'm cozy with the cosmos.
- 0:43So let's gather around. Let's take a seat.
- 0:46Let's get still and the center in the eye of the storm of this
- 0:50moment together and dive into this astrology.
- 0:52And today we're going to be opening this Virgo new moon in
- 0:55this new lunar cycle. And I've been trying to figure
- 0:58out a way to actually talk about the astrology this week because
- 1:00there's so much happening. I was really struggling on how
- 1:03to isolate like 1 message, 1 clear theme or one clear
- 1:07transit. The most important thing to look
- 1:09at. And ironically, poetically, I
- 1:11realized that's the point. Maybe the point is more about
- 1:14finding coherence within the complexity or what might feel
- 1:17like a storm in your life and circumstances during this
- 1:20astrology this week. And also leaning on and
- 1:23exercising that muscle of utilizing the network of asking
- 1:27for help and really just living one decision vision, one moment,
- 1:31handling one real thing at a time.
- 1:33Let me just give you a little Intel on what I'm talking about.
- 1:36So much happening on Thursday alone.
- 1:38The day of the Virgo New Moon, we're going to have Venus
- 1:40entering into Scorpio. Uranus is going to be stationing
- 1:42retrograde and Mercury is entering into Libra.
- 1:45So all of those shifts happening on the same day as this new
- 1:48moon, this new cycle. And then later in the week,
- 1:50we're going to have Venus squaring Pluto, which is a story
- 1:53that's going to continue to unfold.
- 1:55It's just getting started because of Venus retrograde
- 1:57coming up. There's going to be 3 total
- 1:59squares. So this is the first one.
- 2:00And then we've got Neptune making an outer planet sextile
- 2:03to Pluto and Aquarius, which is a much bigger transit, a much
- 2:07longer arc of time that's going to be playing out.
- 2:09They're going to be making this sextile back and forth all the
- 2:11way through 2030. So all of these planets are
- 2:14moving, they're making aspects to each other.
- 2:16And this is all on the heels of eclipse season just ending.
- 2:19So while I would love to sit here and say eclipse season is
- 2:22over, the chaos is done. The truth is that we might still
- 2:25all be feeling this like storm medicine happening, but this is
- 2:29what I love about the storm medicine or the storm metaphor
- 2:32is a storm only happens because multiple conditions are
- 2:36happening simultaneously and together they create this
- 2:40weather, this atmosphere, this storm.
- 2:42So there's a lot of alchemy that might come out of the chaos.
- 2:46There might be some creative chaos, but I don't want you to
- 2:48have too much pressure on yourself.
- 2:49Don't put that Virgo pressure to get it right or get it perfect.
- 2:53It's going to be messy. Let it get messy.
- 2:55And again, come back to this one through line that I am also
- 2:58needing to remember and live in, which is just one real thing at
- 3:02a time. Got to handle it and move
- 3:04forward. And I was kind of dropped to my
- 3:06knees, dropped on my ass, so to speak, into recognizing that
- 3:10this is the reality. Because just this week on
- 3:12Tuesday, like I mentioned, there is this insane heat wave
- 3:15happening in San Diego. And these kind of heat waves
- 3:17don't normally happen in Southern California.
- 3:19So a lot of apartments and homes aren't built with AC units,
- 3:22including where I live. So even though I had three fans
- 3:25on me and I was sleeping with ice packs, I woke up on Tuesday
- 3:28morning so overheated and so just regularly it was like 95°
- 3:31in my bedroom and I was like in that moment I recognized one
- 3:34real thing. I'm not OK I need to book a
- 3:36hotel. So I booked the hotel.
- 3:37I get in the car, I turn the GPS on, I'm driving in the hotel.
- 3:41The phone overheats completely goes black.
- 3:43I'm on the middle of the freeway of nowhere I'm at.
- 3:44I'm like OK, I'm just going to take the next exit. 1 real
- 3:47thing. As I'm taking the exit, I go to
- 3:48pull over into a hotel parking lot and I get into an accident.
- 3:52I get rear-ended and then I leave the scene of the Fender
- 3:54Bender. I go straight to the auto shop
- 3:56just to get a first glance at what is the damage, what are we
- 3:59dealing with? Put the GPS back on, phone's not
- 4:01overheated now. And as I drive and land to the
- 4:04hotel, where do I land? What hotel is it you guys?
- 4:06It is literally the hotel that I pulled over to park in, waiting
- 4:10for my phone to cool down where the accident happened.
- 4:12I was right there the whole time and so I was obviously so not OK
- 4:17on Tuesday. I was shaking, I was crying, I
- 4:20was such an emotional wreck. My nervous system was all over
- 4:23the place and everything was so heightened and extreme that
- 4:25there was no space in that moment for me to go into
- 4:28unhelpful storylines or thinking patterns around trying to create
- 4:32some sort of meaning, trying to say like, why is this happening
- 4:34to me? I noticed that I started to do
- 4:36that and I immediately stopped because the reality is trying to
- 4:39make too much meaning or define too many things, getting caught
- 4:42up in over things right now, that's not going to help.
- 4:44And we don't have the capacity or the bandwidth we need to
- 4:47handle what's right in front of us, which for me in that moment
- 4:50was getting myself settled, getting myself back to center.
- 4:53So thank you, I'm OK, they are OK.
- 4:55My car has seen better days. But at the end of the day, shit
- 4:58happens, accidents happen, and we just have to keep moving
- 5:01forward. So I don't know what's going on
- 5:03with you guys. If you guys are going through
- 5:05anything crazy, you're feeling the chaos or the storm medicine
- 5:07drop in the comments below. Give me your rising sign.
- 5:09Tell me what's happening, and are you having any tough lessons
- 5:13around not overcomplicating what's already complicated and
- 5:16just staying present moment to moment?
- 5:18Really focusing on just taking care of yourself, taking care of
- 5:21what matters and what needs your attention.
- 5:23I hope that nobody else was in any accidents.
- 5:25And wherever you are, whatever storm you're in or not in, we're
- 5:28in this together. Which reminds me that the
- 5:31Spotify playlist for this lunar cycle, I've been listening to it
- 5:34on repeat and on shuffle repeat as a way to help calm my nervous
- 5:38system and also realign like shift gears, shift focus, shift
- 5:42energy. So I can really give my
- 5:43attention to what does matter to me.
- 5:45So that's linked below this episode.
- 5:46Now you guys can access it and of course, you can always drop
- 5:49those comments below. Add any of your song Rex that
- 5:51you want me to add to the playlist and we will build this
- 5:53cozy with the Cosmos collaborative set list together.
- 5:56So check that out. Like I said, it's linked below
- 5:58in the episode description. And also so you guys, it really

- 6:18this channel. And it really means a lot
- 6:19because obviously without you, what would we be doing?
- 6:22I would just literally be talking into this camera week by
- 6:25week to myself. So thanks for being here.
- 6:27Thanks for being part of this conversation and living through
- 6:30this wild thing we call life together.
- 6:31And so today, in today's episode, let's try to focus on
- 6:35the things that feel the most important to actually name and
- 6:39talk about and also being Virgo, discerning about which things
- 6:43we're going to leave on the table, we're going to leave in
- 6:45the sky and leave to our just lived experience.
- 6:47And of course, we need to start where this cycle starts, the
- 6:50Virgo New Moon. The Virgo new Moon is happening
- 6:52on Thursday, September 10th. It's the first new moon after
- 6:55the eclipse season, so free of the eclipse portal, and it's
- 6:58happening at 18° of Virgo, which just so happens to be an almost
- 7:02exact Anticia, or that secret hidden conjunction with Saturn
- 7:06retrograde in Aries. So while Virgo might wish that
- 7:09we could just perfectly put everything back together and
- 7:12organize our lives or circumstances after that eclipse
- 7:15season, this Virgo new moon and this Virgo cycle has to accept
- 7:18the fact that the discernment needs to come on just meeting
- 7:21reality where it's at, really acknowledging and discerning
- 7:24what requires our attention right now and what we're working
- 7:27with, like what we actually have available, what are our
- 7:30limitations, what limitations on our resources or maybe our own
- 7:34limitations on our own body time, energy.
- 7:36We get this hidden conjunction or reminder from Saturn and
- 7:39Aries at this Virgo new moon of those limits.
- 7:42And so again, not getting caught up on what does my entire life
- 7:45mean after the eclipse season? How do I solve everything that's
- 7:48changing? How do I control what feels
- 7:50complex and chaotic? No, babe, this is just a reality
- 7:54check on what's real, what's happening, and what it's going
- 7:57to require from you. Also where you need to ask or
- 8:00help and letting go of any unhelpful guilt or pressure to
- 8:04get everything right, to get everything done.
- 8:06Take some things off of your To Do List the things that really
- 8:08matter. They can get done and they can
- 8:10get done with a little bit less stress.
- 8:12And because it's a new moon in Virgo, that means we got to have
- 8:14Mercury because Mercury is the ruler of Virgo.
- 8:16Mercury's ruling this little nation.
- 8:18And we mentioned Mercury just moved into Libra the same day of
- 8:21this new moon. And as Mercury enters into
- 8:23Libra, that Mercury's going to make that opposition to Neptune,
- 8:26the trying to Pluto and Aquarius, and the trying to
- 8:28Uranus in Gemini. So Mercury becomes the
- 8:31translator basically of these bigger changes unfolding with
- 8:35those outer planet transits. Maybe helping not necessarily
- 8:38bring a full comprehension or articulation of what those
- 8:41bigger transits mean or what's going to happen over the next
- 8:45decade plus as they continue to play out.
- 8:47But at least giving this invitation start to draw some
- 8:50connections, start to live in maybe bigger questions or coming
- 8:54up with different ways of thinking about things.
- 8:56This Mercury in Libra, I think the best way that we can
- 8:59resource this is by remembering that Libra lives in the spectrum
- 9:02of both. And Libra is the scales of
- 9:05balance and truth and justice. And so we can use this Virgo new
- 9:09moon and Mercury entering into the outer planet conversation to
- 9:11start to challenge where the frustration or feeling of a dead
- 9:15end results from the either or thinking and just notice if
- 9:18you're having that. And what would it be like to
- 9:19start living with the both? And so the art of listening, not
- 9:23defining, that's where we're at with this Virgo New Moon and
- 9:25Mercury and Libra this week. And then let's bring in the
- 9:28other weather element of this story, Venus in Scorpio.
- 9:31Like I said, Venus enter Scorpio on the day of the new moon on
- 9:34Thursday the 10th. And then on Tuesday the 5th,
- 9:36Venus is going to make the first of three squares to Pluto and
- 9:39Aquarius. So Venus isn't exactly entering
- 9:42into a quiet territory. She enters into Scorpio and
- 9:45whatever Venus is revealing some of those platonic deeper things
- 9:49that maybe have been living under the surface.
- 9:51They're going to be coming up for us to name, claim and come
- 9:55into some honest relationship. That this might be a deeper
- 9:58surrendering into what feels maybe like A reckoning, A
- 10:01reckoning around your relationships, A reckoning
- 10:04around your desires, like what you want and don't want, what
- 10:07you like and don't like, your relationship around pleasure or
- 10:10creativity. There's going to be something
- 10:12that likely comes up and it might feel intense and it's only
- 10:17just the beginning of this storyline.
- 10:19That's also why I've decided to host this Venus immersion
- 10:22program. It's very intimate, small group.
- 10:24Only eight people are going to be in this program to go through
- 10:28this Venus descent, this Venus retrograde together in a way
- 10:30that I'm not going to be teaching about Venus, Pluto.
- 10:33I'm not going to be teaching astrology.
- 10:35Of course, we're going to talk about what is Venus retrograde?
- 10:37A little bit of background on those cycles because they do
- 10:40occur every eight years in the same area of our charts in the
- 10:43same signs. So there is some supportive
- 10:45evidence gathering that we can do by looking back in time at
- 10:48previous cycles and defining and working with some of the more
- 10:51technical parts of the astrology.
- 10:53But I've been thinking about this Venus retrograde for
- 10:55months. I started the Venus retrograde
- 10:57playlist back in March. You guys, like I've just felt
- 11:00and known that there is a potency in the potential of what
- 11:04we take in, how we move through and what we do or what we choose
- 11:10as we come out of that Venus retrograde.
- 11:12So if you're somebody that wants to join this honest living into
- 11:17the astrology, it's like very experiential and also very
- 11:20human. We're going to be feeling
- 11:22together as we move separately through our own Venus descent
- 11:26and Venus retrograde Venus Pluto storyline, whatever that is.
- 11:29You can check it out. It's linked below this episode
- 11:31in the description. It's also on my website under
- 11:34the products and programs page. And there's going to be a lot
- 11:36more detailed information about what you can expect from the
- 11:39program, like what my vision is, what it's all about, the dates,
- 11:43the times, all of those things, as well as pricing and payment
- 11:47plan or sliding scale options. All of that information and more
- 11:50that I'm probably forgetting. It's included in that product
- 11:52listing. So if you're interested or
- 11:54curious at all, you can definitely check that out.
- 11:56Check out the link again in the description below this episode
- 11:59and whether you decide to come into the descent with me in this
- 12:03Venus immersion or you decide to take a solo journey, What we can
- 12:06all kind of hold in our hearts in this week of the opening of
- 12:11this reckoning is that this is just the first chapter and we
- 12:14don't have to have all of the answers.
- 12:16We don't have to have full resolution or repair of whatever
- 12:19starts or begins. Let this just be the first
- 12:23honest acknowledgement of some deeper feelings or the first
- 12:26honest and real messy conversation with somebody that
- 12:30we love. And a willingness to trust,
- 12:31whatever the end or the outcome might ultimately be, will be
- 12:34something that leads to a more deeply intimate and honest way
- 12:38of relating and living and maybe even creating by the end of the
- 12:41retrograde. And that final square to Pluto
- 12:43that's going to happen on December 9th of this year.
- 12:46And remember thinking in this episode where I said this is a
- 12:49week about doing 1 real thing at a time or being honest with
- 12:52yourself and getting real about one real thing or feeling that's
- 12:54coming up. And it's also a week to not try
- 12:56to do everything on your own, to remember to ask for help.
- 12:59That brings in my final astrology thought and just thing
- 13:02that was really standing out to me and preparing for this
- 13:04episode in this new moon, which is Mars.
- 13:06Mars and Cancer is deceptively very implicated in all of this
- 13:10astrology. And that's because there is this
- 13:12dispositor chain reaction of ruler ships that ultimately all
- 13:16keep coming back to Mars and Cancer.
- 13:18Mercury in Libra is hosted by Venus.
- 13:20Venus is in Scorpio, which is hosted by Mars.
- 13:23Mars is in Cancer. The Virgo new moon has that
- 13:26antitia or secret hidden conjunction to Saturn in Aries.
- 13:29Saturn in is hosted by Mars in Cancer.
- 13:32So Mars has dispositor chain of connection and reaction.
- 13:36And that's really interesting because all of these aspects
- 13:39that are happening simultaneously, they are all
- 13:41somehow connected to this network that comes back to that
- 13:44fallen Mars in Cancer. A Mars that doesn't get what it
- 13:47wants. It doesn't get to just move
- 13:49forward, be direct, be independent like Mars obviously
- 13:52prefers. Cancer moves differently and
- 13:54Mars has to move differently. There's more of this side to
- 13:57side zigzag, this cardinal response of Cancer, which is the
- 14:01ability to pivot, to adapt, to move forward sometimes might
- 14:05feel like going back and forth or circling back.
- 14:07It might not feel linear right now when it comes to moving
- 14:10forward. And also Cancer is ruled by the
- 14:12Moon, so Mars has to tend to the connections and the
- 14:15relationships. Mars gets to take into
- 14:17consideration getting help from other people.
- 14:20If it's not stuck in frustration and resistance to taking into
- 14:24consideration the needs, the feelings, or maybe even the
- 14:27ideas and help from others, then and Mars and its fall can move
- 14:31in the only direction left, which is up getting ourselves to
- 14:34stand back up by reaching out to people asking for help.
- 14:37Everything coming back to this Mars and Cancer is also coming
- 14:40back to remembering to ask for help and to also consider and
- 14:44take care of the other people in the room, in the conversation,
- 14:48in the chaos, and what their feelings and needs are too.
- 14:51So don't get stuck in personal frustration.
- 14:53Don't forget you're not the only person with feelings and needs
- 14:56in the room. Feelings are not facts, and all
- 14:59feelings are valid. Everybody's feelings, all
- 15:01feelings are valid. We can validate each other's
- 15:03feelings without taking them as fact.
- 15:04Remember that Mercury in Libra, Ding, Ding, Ding, both and not
- 15:07in either or. And we could all definitely
- 15:10benefit from a little bit of instruction, a little bit of
- 15:12help, a little bit of learning about emotional intelligence,
- 15:15learning how to navigate when big emotions come up, when
- 15:18sometimes it's just an emotion that feels like the shitstorm of
- 15:20the chaos of the moment that we're talking about.
- 15:22This new moon week and the opening to this lunar cycle is a
- 15:26crash course. Learning how to navigate with
- 15:29skillfulness, with maturity, an actual agency in the midst of so
- 15:33much complexity, so much uncertainty, and maybe some
- 15:36unexpected uncontrollable circumstances or accidents like
- 15:40car accidents that happen along the way.
- 15:42So this week, maybe something to ask yourself is what is one
- 15:46thing that I don't actually have to do alone?
- 15:48Where is one place that I could ask for help and if I didn't
- 15:51need to fight to prove my feelings are more important than
- 15:55somebody else's or making some sort of court ruling of the
- 15:59feelings being right or wrong, mine or theirs.
- 16:02How does that open me up? How does that free up space for
- 16:05me to take a new step, to make a choice and take action and move
- 16:09forward in this moment, in whatever moment you're in,
- 16:11moment to moment, one real moment at a time.
- 16:14And kind of like I said in the beginning of this episode, the
- 16:16medicine of this moment and of this recording is that there's
- 16:20so much going on. I can't possibly talk about all
- 16:22of it. And honestly, I don't want to
- 16:24talk about all of it. And I'm really hoping to give
- 16:27and extend that invitation for you for you to give to your
- 16:30yourself. We don't have to metabolize
- 16:31everything happening in the astrology today.
- 16:33We don't have to understand the entire eclipse story that just
- 16:35happened and is coming to completion today.
- 16:37We don't to know where the Venus, Pluto and Venus
- 16:39retrograde transit is going to leave us.
- 16:42We don't to move in a perfectly straight line.
- 16:44We just get to be real about the conditions that we're actually
- 16:47in and what's required of us. We can ask for help.
- 16:50We can take pressure off of getting it perfect or getting it
- 16:53all complete. Then we can check our
- 16:56relationship with how we are seen, perceiving and navigate
- 17:00eating through this astrology or these storms by remaining
- 17:03mindful and curious and not in a seat of know it all.
- 17:06So stay humble. Stay curious, my friends.
- 17:08I'm definitely already here. I'm sitting here.
- 17:11We're going to stay humble. We're going to stay curious.
- 17:12I'm going to keep the storyline open and not fall into any traps
- 17:16of needing to create some sort of deeper spiritual
- 17:18philosophical meaning of it all or whatever the fuck happens
- 17:21next. And so while I'm doing my best
- 17:23to be practicing all of these things I'm talking about, part
- 17:26of what's helping me is I'm listening to some of those songs
- 17:28on the Virgo playlist. So I want to to share with you
- 17:30some of my top picks for all the chaos and the shit and
- 17:33everything happening everywhere seemingly all at once.
- 17:35You can listen to the songs, check out the playlist.
- 17:37Oftentimes it's because of the lyrics in the playlist, or
- 17:40sometimes it can be the feeling that it evokes or drops me into
- 17:43or opens this space for the feeling to actually move
- 17:46through, move up and out. So here's your list.
- 17:49Here's your setlist from the setlist for the Virgo new moon
- 17:52and this astrology week. The first one is keep on by lane
- 17:558. Literally just the lyrics are
- 17:58just keep on, keeping on. I mean, pretty moment to moment,
- 18:01we're doing the best we can. The next one, this is the one
- 18:03that really drops me. And this one feels really
- 18:05grounding. It helps my nervous system
- 18:06regulate a bit and also feels like a song.
- 18:09If there was a song that could connect the boundlessness of
- 18:12Neptune, the depths of Pluto, it's breathe deep sea brighter,
- 18:17feel better here now by friendship.
- 18:19It's a little bit of a shorter song.
- 18:20I think it might be like an intro for them, but you can
- 18:22check it out. You can let me know what you
- 18:23think about that and maybe feel this as kind of like that
- 18:25background, bigger backdrop of the astrology in those outer
- 18:29planet that are happening in the sky during this week.
- 18:31The next song is Quiet Reckoning by Elliot Vast and this song
- 18:35plus here by Mumford and Sons. Both of these songs for me are
- 18:39connected to the Venus square Pluto and that opening storyline
- 18:42that's coming in this week's astrology.
- 18:44So you can check those out maybe if you're having a hard or
- 18:47sensitive tender moment and let me know how they vibe for you.
- 18:49And then the last one I'm going to share today is My Weakness by
- 18:52Moby. It's like an all timer and every
- 18:54time this song comes on in my shuffle, I'm like time feels
- 18:58like it stops. You know what that feels like?
- 19:00And it's this feeling of remembering, like it's like
- 19:03closing your eyes and opening your eyes wider in the same
- 19:06breath, in the same moment and in that note.
- 19:08I mean, it's one of my favorite songs to put on my yoga playlist
- 19:11when I teach yoga because it also really feels like it drops
- 19:13me into my body and it drops me into the humanity of living with
- 19:17an open heart of that kind of remembering the both and of
- 19:21everybody's feelings are valid. My weakness is our weakness.
- 19:24And if we listen to this song, maybe we can remember that we
- 19:26are all human who have weaknesses and we can let it
- 19:29feel or sound a little bit more beautiful instead of like sharp
- 19:33screams and background. So let me know what you guys
- 19:35think about those songs. Let me know what you think about
- 19:36the playlist. Let me know what you are feeling
- 19:39about this astrology about this week.
