Stars This Week?
7 September, 2026
This week brings an unusually strong sense of planetary support, with the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter all in signs where they have full dignity. After the recent eclipse cycle and weeks of adjustment, the energy begins to feel more constructive. There is greater capacity to make clear decisions, communicate confidently and build from a stronger foundation.
The biggest shift comes on 7 September, when Mercury enters Virgo, its sign of exaltation. The mind becomes sharper and more organised, while Venus continues in its own sign of Libra and Jupiter remains exalted in Cancer. Meanwhile, the Sun remains strong in Leo alongside Ketu, bringing an ongoing focus on identity, confidence and what it means to stand firmly in your own authority.
This is a week of clarity, confidence and making the most of supportive conditions.
