During September Mars turns retrograde, making a total of 6
out of 10 planets retrograde for the first several weeks of the month slowing
things down so we can reconsider our ideas and plans.
Jupiter, the planet of gain and expansion
finally turns direct increasing our chances of success just before mid-month. By the end of the month Saturn will also turn
direct allowing us to move forward on certain projects that may have been put
on hold and find our direction. The Sun enters Libra in September, marking the
fall solstice and the official start of fall. Venus the planet of love, leaves Cancer for
Leo providing us with a little more summer fun before the colder weather and
Mercury, the planet of communication will move through three signs this month.
It’s an action packed month, so let’s get started!
September’s full
moon
We begin the month with magical full moon in the sign of
Pisces. This Full Moon has great sensitivity and perception and for some it
will seem like an other worldly or spiritual energy. This is a great time for
any creative idea or spiritual pursuit. Pisces is known for its compassion but
this moon will be a double edged sword. As Pisces is ruled by the planet
Neptune (and Jupiter) you can soar to the highest of highs or sink to the
lowest of lows.
Pisces rules the 12th house of the zodiac or the
segment of the chart that concerns endings, hospitals, places of confinement
and our subconscious thoughts. The 12th house can also be associated
with things that are secret and hidden that can be revealed at this time.
Pisces/Neptune has a tendency toward bringing up information that was
previously hidden and the revelations can be deeply emotional.
Neptune is the planet associated with delusion, confusion and
illusion or lies along with dreams, psychic experiences, creativity, religion,
compassion, theater and even drugs. It is also associated with the ocean and
water and we will see events connected to both.
Jupiter is the planet of gain and expansion
and it increases whatever it touches for the better or worst. With this moon
our judgment may be clouded as the moon will conjunct Neptune. It will be a
thin line to walk between your perceptions which will be heightened and your
sense of what is real and what is not real. In the larger picture it begs the
question of what are we willing to do as a society/world to help those less
fortunate or marginalized.
The most significant energies connected to this moon are
associated with the Cardinal t-square between Mars in Aries, Venus in Cancer
and Pluto-Saturn in Capricorn. A t-square is a stressful aspect that pulls in
the energies of all planets involved.
Venus opposing Saturn can be difficult for love, expressing
your feelings or social events. Some people can feel lonely, unloved or
unlovable, and some relationships may end at this time, but typically it would
be those that are tottering on the edge and not stable. This can also be a
transit indicative of financial issues. Venus square Mars can create an
interest in romance but it is frequently based on the physical rather than an emotional
connection. It can also indicate jealousy and emotional issues between the
sexes. Mars square Saturn is an ongoing transit through September that creates
a certain amount of frustration, and it represents blocks we must overcome.
Mercury in Virgo may come to the rescue as Virgo is a stable
and grounded sign. As the planet of communication meets up with Saturn this
will give us the ability to discern what we need to know and look at things in
a more practical and rounded way.
This Moon will play out in the world in terms of unclear and
convoluted situations and hidden information may be revealed. It is likely we
will hear news of religion or faith based groups and we will also see instances
of great compassion and creativity. Neptune rules the ocean, water and gasses
and we will be dealing with water related weather situations. The Moon’s conjunction with Neptune will not
be positive concerning the spread of Covid-19.
Big changes in
communication as Mercury enters Libra
September 5, the planet of communication leaves Virgo to
enter Libra. Over the next three weeks our thoughts will turn toward
partnerships of all types. Many of us will be thinking of romance as Libra is
ruled by Venus, and Libra rules the 7th house of marriage and partners.
As Mercury in Virgo can be somewhat critical, Libra likes to find balance and
please others. Conversation will take on a friendlier as opposed to critical
tone. Libra is about finding balance, after all.
September 27, Mercury enters Scorpio until where it will
remain through most of October. Scorpio rules the 8th house of
transformation, secrets and sex. While in this sign communication will be
investigative in nature as Scorpio likes to dig into issues and the superficial
will not suffice. As an intuitive water sign Scorpio often goes on feelings and
intuition, especially when something does not seem right. Deep feelings will
come to the surface and we can expect to see some drama play out in
conversations.
Venus enters Leo
Romance will take a different turn as Venus enters Leo
September 6th. Shakespeare must have been thinking of Venus in Leo
when he wrote, “All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely
players. They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time
plays many parts.” Leo is bold and dramatic and many will play out their dramas
in real life at this time. There will be a great deal of acting out and people
will speak their minds and their needs in a bigger way. Some may appear or come across as flashier or
make grand gestures toward those they are romantically attracted to. Venus in
Leo is about having fun, and can perhaps extend the excitement of summer just a
little longer.
Mars turns
retrograde
September 9th, Mars turns stationary retrograde at
28 degrees of Aries, and it will remain retrograde until November 14th.
When Mars is retrograde people complain of tiredness, low energy and anger or
agitation. Sometimes people operate in a more manipulative manner instead of
facing conflict openly. Physical complaints can appear, frustration may
increase, and people may experience more ‘bad moods.’ Mars rules our ego and actions so many things
can change direction at this juncture. Mars also rules men, so we may also
experience some relationship changes over the next few months as this powerful
planet changes direction.
Mars is in Aries, the sign of its rulership making it very
powerful. Aries rules the 1st house or the self, so there will be a
focus on the self, or what each individual wants.
As with any retrograde planet, we will backtrack during this
time, re-consider our options and some things may be delayed or changed.
As Mars is in a Cardinal sign, this means energy is prone to
changeability and action. Mars will square Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter and during
these times we will see change, stress and anger when this occurs. Mars squared
Pluto August 13th, and it squared Saturn August 24th. We saw many events at this time including
protests, shootings, wildfires and hurricanes. While Mars only moves a couple
of degrees away from Saturn this energy will occur again September 29th
but it is basically with us for most of September.
Mars will square Pluto again
October 9th. If you were affected on the above mentioned dates, you
will be affected again as Mars repeats these transits. It is possible that some
of the same issues will re-occur. It is highly likely we will see protests and
police activities as well.
Mars-Saturn
relates to frustration, blocked energy, aggravation, and potential arguments,
accidents and disagreements. Mars is the God of War, and Saturn is the
taskmaster, often acting like a brick wall stopping or slowing down our
efforts.
Mars
rules our energy and in some way it may seem restricted. This can be a period
where we don't have the vigor we are accustomed to, and we may feel limited or
slowed down in some way.
The
best way to deal with this transit is to proceed with caution, slowly and
methodically as you go about your activities. Used constructively, you may accomplish more
than you think.
The
best advice is to use caution in your dealings with others as they can lash out
if angered or irritated, and you could regret bringing up controversial
subjects. Use care as this can lead to accidents.
Jupiter turns direct!
September 12th, Jupiter
finally turns direct at 17 degrees of Capricorn. Jupiter rules our luck and
expansion and it has been retrograde since mid-May. If Jupiter turns direct on
a planet in your chart amazing things may happen and your luck or gain can
increase. This is typically a positive
and upbeat change. Look below to see where Jupiter affects you. Use your
ascendant if you know it, otherwise your Sun sign. Jupiter will affect us all
in some way.
Aries-10th house of career
and reputation.
Taurus-9th house of travel,
publishing, education, world view and legal matters.
Gemini-8th house of
partner’s money, sex, credit and transformation.
Cancer-7th house of
relationships and partnerships along with courts.
Leo-6th house of work and
health
Virgo-5th house of love,
friends and children.
Libra-4th house of home and
family.
Scorpio-3rd house of
immediate family, co-workers, neighbors.
Sagittarius-2nd house of
money and income.
Capricorn-1st house of
self.
September’s
New Moon
September 17, a new moon falls at 25
degrees of Virgo. The Virgo season is the time to get our life in order as we
wind down from the summer months. Virgo rules the 6th house of work
and health and Virgo has a connection to healing, both mental and physical. Now
is the time to set your intentions for the upcoming month.
The
Libra season
Fall arrives as the Sun enters Libra
at 9:31 AM, EDT. This is otherwise known as the Fall equinox and the Libra
season is upon us. Libra is the Cardinal sign of fall when the weather begins
to change in many parts of the country.
Libra rules the 7th house
of marriage and partnerships, and Libra’s ruling planet is Venus. When the Sun
enters Libra we tend to think more about relationships and partnerships and
make more of an effort to get along and compromise with others as Libra does
not like conflict. The symbol for Libra is the scales of justice. Keywords for Libra are social, romantic, fair
and just, elegant and charming. On the negative end Libra can be
passive-aggressive, fickle or at times obsessive.
The
Cardinal squares of Mercury
September 17, Mercury squares Jupiter
and this becomes part of the New moon energy. This is typically a positive and
upbeat transit but conversation or other situations may become blown out of
proportion.
September 21, Mercury enters its
Cardinal square to Pluto. As Mercury, along with Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are
in Cardinal signs-Libra, Cancer, Capricorn or Aries-this square can bring
significant change in the world and our lives. Mercury square Pluto is prone to
digging for answers and nothing superficial will suffice. This transit can
bring new information to light or be prone to obsessions, arguments and irritation.
Problems may arise with communication, especially in relationships and this
will be a significant news day. Mercury squares Saturn September 23, and this
can manifest as a tiring or draining day. Conversation will be on the serious
rather than light side, leading to important discussions. It is important to
keep a positive attitude as this transit can lean toward the negative if we
allow it to.
September 24, Mercury opposes Mars in
Aries. This is a day prone to arguments, irritation and potential accidents. On
the positive end it could be a good day for debate or planning if you can avoid
getting verbally heated to the point of a disagreement.
Saturn
turns direct
September 29th, Saturn
stations direct at 25 degrees of Capricorn. When transiting Saturn is retrograde, and we
experience a Saturn transit in
our personal charts, the retrograde of Saturn is typically the most
difficult period of the transit. Saturn turned retrograde May 11, and
retrogrades every year for about four months. You have been experiencing a difficult
Saturn transit if you have planets in your chart at 24-26 degrees of Capricorn,
Cancer, Libra or Aries.
As Saturn turns
direct this can be good news for many issues and situations that have been
stuck or in some way or unproductive, and this is true for both the individual and the collective. Saturn
can represent a reality check in many areas of our lives and even in the world,
especially as it stations direct.
While Saturn was
retrograde many problems were internalized that were cloudy and difficult to
figure out. As the planet of karma or the taskmaster as Saturn is called goes
direct, we find resolutions to issues that may have been difficult to solve and
we can start moving forward, especially in the area of work and business. If
you are starting a new business it is always best to start it with Saturn
direct if possible.
Other transits of significance in
September:
September
4th, Venus square Mars. This is indicative of jealousy and trouble
between the sexes. The other side of this transit is sexual attraction, but if
this is the case it may be based purely on the physical. Money issues could
crop up.
Mercury
also sextiles Venus on this day which is positive, upbeat and good for any type
of communication or social activity. This day is overall positive in terms of
social matters.
September
9, the Sun trines Jupiter. This is an upbeat and positive day for business or
pleasure. Expand your world in some way.
September
11, the Sun opposes Neptune. This falls within 48 hours of Mar’s retrograde and
is confusing and there is often a lack of clarity. At worst this transit is
deceptive so be careful what you believe and Mars backward motion could make
things worse. It can seem melancholy, but can also stimulate your intuition.
September
15, Venus squares Uranus. Uranus is the planet of sudden and unpredictable
events. This can be a day of surprises where you try something new or approach
things in a different manner. Change can be inevitable on this day so it can be
a day of excitement or a day of unanticipated surprises. Best to go with the
flow and enjoy the unexpected. It is possible there will be unexpected
financial news or change.
September
17, the Sun trines Saturn. This is an excellent day for work or accomplishment
that occurs in an easy manner.
September
28, Venus trines Mars. This is a positive day for love or your social life. It
can also be of benefit financially or for business.
