September brings reprieve…
With the summer winding down and the arrival of September, many of us are starting to resume our Fall season routines. I’m not a pumpkin spice gal, but I can’t wait for the right time to decorate the outside of my home with a variety of mums. While I very much enjoy the summer living close to the shore, Fall is my favorite season!
Many of us have experienced the intensities of the energies this summer – especially in areas of our lives affected by the Taurus/Scorpio North and South Nodes and the aftermath of two huge eclipses. September will be a bit of a reprieve with some harmonious energies around us now and toward the end of the month.
Insight into upcoming energies will help you harness the best of what’s ahead and navigate around some of the “bumpy” periods. These are energies affecting the collective, yet will impact each of us in a different way based on our own birth chart placements.
More about what to expect this month…
September 1st starts with the combination of opportunity and luck when Mars in Gemini sextiles Jupiter in Aries. When Mars entered Gemini on August 20th with its quick, fast-moving energy, Jupiter will now bring some order, strength, and coherence to our actions early this month.
On September 2nd, Mercury in Libra opposes Jupiter in Aries which could lead to tension in communication in our relationships. However, with its trine to Mars in Gemini, we could find the ability to look at things differently for more harmony in our lives.
Mercury retrograde again?
Yes…it’s time for another Mercury Retrograde! Mercury retrograde tends to get a bad rap BUT when we have awareness of the present energies, we can make more conscious choices in how we want to take action and how want to respond.
With Mercury beginning its retrograde in Libra on September 9th, expect themes around communications in relationships to resurface. This is a great opportunity to pause and reframe our thoughts first, and not immediately take offense. We can actually create better balance during this time in our professional and personal relationships by becoming better negotiators toward win/win outcomes.
Full Moon in Pieces brings emotional release
We’ll have a reprieve from all the air and fire energy at the start of the month with the Full Moon on September 10, 2022 at 17 degrees Pisces. This Full Moon brings much-needed emotional release in the water sign Pisces. With the Sun making a harmonious trine to Uranus and the North Node, we can move closer toward our longer-term goals for change and freedom. The Moon’s conjunction to Neptune can make this an emotionally charged time — especially if we feel we are out of alignment. Yet the Moon squaring Mars can make it more passionately charged and help boost our “can do” attitude to move forward.
What to expect with the Fall Equinox
The autumn season begins on September 22nd with the Fall Equinox when the Sun enters the sign of Libra (look for my email at the start of Libra season!). It’s also on the same day of Mercury Cazimi (when Mercury is close within the rays of the Sun). This should bring more illumination and enlightenment to our relationships.
New Moon in Libra invites balance
On September 25th, we have the New Moon at 2 degrees Libra. New moons are a time for new beginnings and this one may bring new partnerships, new relationships and commitments. Libra is the sign of balance, so we can strive to find more balance, and this can help us be more decisive. We can feel confident if we feel balanced, and are surrounded by peace and harmony. This new moon comes days after Mercury retrograde exits Libra. Coupled with the Sun and Venus entering Libra, this may help us get on the right path quickly with whatever may have strained any relationships and partnerships.
Venus enters its home sign of Libra on September 29th and makes a conjunction to Mercury. This helps soften our energies and brings focus back toward balance, harmony and cooperation.
My hope is that this gives you a taste of the power and practicality of astrology and how it can help us prepare and align for the days ahead! Keep reading for an exciting event coming later this month, plus details about how to book your own personal Natal Chart Consultation.
