21 September: Challenge Day - Who wins the 'Black Lottery'

September 21 brings intense cosmic energy with the Sun in Virgo clashing with deceptive Neptune, while Mercury in Virgo squares Jupiter in Gemini. Degrees 19-21 and 27-29, the late 2nd and 3rd decanates, are the focus of this unstable aspect. These aspects create confusion, misdirection and exaggeration, causing us to doubt what appears to be true. The challenge is to avoid illusions and exaggerations, maintaining our sanity in an environment that could lead us to make the wrong decisions.

Virgo
The energy of the Sun-Neptune opposition invites you to be aware of the illusions that may arise around you. It's easy to get carried away by illusions or get caught up in situations that are not exactly as they seem. Your tendency to analyze things can help you, but be careful not to lose touch with reality, especially in your professional and personal relationships. Mercury's square to Jupiter brings excessive thoughts and information that you need to filter with care.

Gemini
This day enhances communication, but not always in a positive way. Mercury square Jupiter can lead you to exaggerate, promise more than you can offer or misinterpret the intentions of others. The Sun's opposition to Neptune adds confusion to your personal relationships and contacts. Avoid making big decisions and keep your cool, as the fog that covers this day can quickly dissipate.

Sagittarius
The energy of the day prompts you to re-examine your relationships and obligations. Excesses and misdirection can create tensions, especially if you have neglected important details. The Sun's opposition to Neptune brings confusion and illusions about career or personal ambitions, while Mercury's square to Jupiter reinforces the tendency to be careless or make hasty decisions. Try to focus on reality and avoid exaggerations.

Pisces
The Sun's opposition to Neptune affects you strongly, creating emotional confusion and uncertainty. You are likely to feel disconnected from reality, and your relationships may go through a phase of ambiguity. The day calls for you to be careful with your promises and expectations, as the energy of the day can mislead you. Mercury's square to Jupiter adds pressure and a tendency to exaggerate, so make sure to keep a low profile and avoid big talk.
