Sept.1 Pluto Retrograde at 00 Aquarius backs into Capricorn 29. This will be the last revisit Pluto makes in Capricorn. On Oct.11th Pluto stations direct 29 Capricorn, then settles into Aquarius 00 on Nov.19th for 20-year transit. Retrograde Pluto 29 Cap internally knows this is a completion period to reflect on. The Capricorn house of our natal chart has been transformed through the last 15 years, naturally we sense the completion, by moving forward to Aquarius.
Pluto 29 Cap sextile to Neptune 29 Pisces-this also is at a completion phase, we can look deeply at traditions or patterns that need to be finally dissolved and liberated for the next Pluto Transit through Aquarius. Time to acknowledge our own truth or reinvent ourselves to create new patterns moving forward.
Sept.2nd New Moon in Virgo 11 ruled by direct Mercury in Leo. The New Moon is loosely opposite Saturn in Pisces. We can sense our planning, and may fall into a more serious light. Intuitively, what feels right for the next step in the journey. Plant your intentions into fertile ground and do the work necessary to grow it.
Uranus 27 Taurus stations Retrograde- A subtle internal shift, maybe changing your mind around relationships, diet, or finances?
Sept.3rd
Neptune 29 Pisces squares Mars 29 Gemini -Many ideas are gathered at this time, for creative solutions or projects. Mars wants to take instant action when the right thought lands…. use caution as Neptune can send confusion into that decision. Squares offer challenges in order for movement. Both planets are at the last degree of their sign……impulsive actions should be avoided, as well as alcohol & drugs. Keep a clear mind.
Venus 6 Libra conjunct South Node 6 Libra –Venus in Libra is in her home sign, she has a lot of advantage this month. This is a day of understanding, socializing, peace keeping, enjoying the moment with others and in general more connected to our grace. Connecting with the South Node feels like compromises or graciously accommodating others. Letting go of Venus needs, in a way that satisfies loved ones, putting others first.
Sept 4th Mars enters Cancer 00
(Mars stations Retrograde Dec.8th in Leo moving back into Cancer in January 2025, leaving Cancer on April 18th)
A less direct Mars, actions can be infused with emotion and feeling your way forward. We may become more aware of emotions, personal & family issues and the energy around the home. Motivation may stem from memories or actions taken in the past. Mars in water elements merges actions with our moods. Cautious and protective Cancer doesn’t like to be pushed; comfort is moving at a safe pace. Sensitivity is heightened during this transit of Mars, stay true to your needs.
Sept 6th Mercury 27 Leo square Uranus 27 Taurus– Surprising information can appear today as the nervous energy of Uranus touches Mercury’s curiosity… fixed signs are both ready to hear what they want. Be flexible as the communications may have a crossed wire, something exciting may come of it-be open to changes that may upgrade your plans or completely change them.
Sept 8th Sun 16 Virgo opposite Saturn 16 Pisces-Self-expression can feel limited when opposing Saturn energy, look at where your Virgo House is in your chart-It will point to the areas that may experience conflict or restriction due to this opposite energy. Flexibility and straightforward communication are necessary to get the details & desires on the same page.
Sept 9th Sept 26th Mercury enters Virgo 00 Mercury enters its home sign, creating strength with our thought process, planning, managing and any form of mental work that needs the details to be clear. Research or analyzing a situation will be excellent work for this Mercury transit.
Moon in Scorpio 29 trine Neptune 29 Pisces
Moon in Scorpio 29 sextile Pluto 29 Capricorn
This is a quick Moon transit hit, but it feels worthy of mentioning around noon. A very intuitive moment that merges with what we know & feel. Possibly a memory, a song, a photo, an email shows up to remind us of our true feelings. Tap into it.
Sept 12th Jupiter 20 Gemini square Sun 20 Virgo- Both signs share the same ruler of Mercury, which is in Virgo, in a strong direct position. If you do your homework and check your details thoroughly this can be a very rewarding day to expand your mind, ideas, plans or travels for the future. Learning may be the core motivation here, either with a teacher or diving into self-teaching. Take a step-by-step approach and enjoy what you find.
Sept 15th Venus 20 Libra trine Jupiter 20 Gemini (Moon 20 Aquarius later in day makes a grand air trine to sweeten the blend.)
Venus trine Jupiter in air signs Libra & Gemini create a great communal energy, attracting love and friendships to connect. Make a point to search out friends, plan a get together, a personal date, a group sport activity, a day shopping or sharing a coffee with a friend. Great day to meet new people. Especially later in the day (EST) when the Moon in Aquarius joins to create a grand trine, conversation and comradery unite.
Mars 6 Cancer square North Node 6 Aries-on the same day as the sweetness above…. Mars activated by the North Node can be a fate or chance meeting that offers taking action in some way. Maybe just responding? Mars in Cancer can hold back, with a cautious feeling. North Node in Aries is very straight forward. These energies can be exciting or annoying, awareness of the sensitivities at play are helpful.
Sept 17th Eclipse Season
Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse 25 Pisces
* Conjunct Neptune 29 Pisces-sextile Uranus 27 Taurus & Pluto 29 Capricorn
Boundaries and understanding our limitations will be important during this lunation, applying to Neptune we may gloss over any issues, as we prefer peace with Pisces. This lunation connects to Uranus 27 Taurus, which can be exciting or tricky that ramps up the feelings. Pluto 29 Capricorn may remind us of the truth of the matter.
Full Moons can be a heightened emotional experience, in the water sign of Pisces, it seeks to understand and merge with the moment. Lunar Eclipses can bring unexpected energy & circumstances, they have a wild card ability to bring changes…. ending or beginning chapters in our lives. The North & South Nodes of the Moon are what signal Eclipses, in the past year Aries North Node and Libra South Node have been the arena of changes……Self vs Relationships.
If we check our charts those Aries/Libra houses are where the eclipses have been operating. Aries North Node points to individual growth, vs. Libra South Node finding peace in releasing relationships, creative projects, and financial situations that are ripe for a new chapter. We shift in September into Pisces/Virgo axis that begins to hint at what 2025 Eclipse energy may have in store. January 10th the Nodes shift into Pisces/Virgo. Pisces North Node focus is healing, simplicity and inclusiveness-taking a high road to peace of mind. Virgo South node may need to release the idea of a perfect situation, job, relationship, body etc.-it doesn’t exist. Understanding that we are perfect right where we are, and there is always work to be done with something we care deeply about. The Eclipses can show us that through experiences on or around that date.
(During Eclipse) Saturn 15 Pisces opposite Mercury 14 Virgo-Mercury rules the mind, thoughts and perspectives. When opposite Saturn, we can sense a touch of insecurity, distance or restriction in communications. Mercury is strong in Virgo, take time to really analyze the situation before speaking. Speak from the heart, think of how you affect others with your words-this will matter.
Sept 20 /21
Virgo Sun 29 opposite Neptune 29 Pisces
Grand Trine -Sun 29 Virgo-Uranus 27 Taurus-Pluto 29 Capricorn
Mercury 20 Virgo Square Jupiter 20 Gemini
A busy start transits wise -to the weekend and Fall Equinox.
Sun/Neptune opposition can feel a bit confusing or discombobulated in relationships of all kinds. On the positive, you may experience a deep feeling of bonding, sharing and understanding your loved ones by staying open and vulnerable on this day. Going with the flow.
The Grand Earth trine between Sun, Uranus and Pluto creates a fertile ground for physical work or playing together. Create energy & excitement and stay honest with your boundaries.
Mercury 20 Virgo squares Jupiter 20 Gemini-our minds can be on overdrive with the numerous ideas and thoughts-the challenge is to stay present and not get scattered with all the energy being generated on this weekend.
Sept 22nd Fall Equinox-Sun enters Libra 00
Venus enters Scorpio 00-Venus is shifting gears into Scorpio waters, after briefly squaring Pluto on the way out of Libra…a little touchy. Venus in Scorpio turns inward and taps into the more private affairs of our needs, desires and attractions. We will see her as an evening star through this next season to remind us that human connection is very important, and on the intuitive radar of Venus in Scorpio.
Sept 25th Grand Earth Trine -Mercury 28 Virgo -Uranus 27 Taurus -Pluto 29 Capricorn
Mercury on its way out of Virgo, connects to 2nd Grand Earth trine of the month, this time with our communications, plans or anything we revised after the Mercury Retrograde during the month of August. Did you have a moment in August where you realized a reset was in order, a conversation had to happen or a change in plans was unavoidable? The end of September should help with some clarity around those revisions.
Sept 26th Mercury enters Libra 00
Mercury is level headed and diplomatic under the rulership of Venus (Libra) We can now see things from both sides of the coin. Mercury can have an aesthetic sensibility under Libra, creative thinking is accentuated. Excellent time for negotiations or group discussions. If you need to see an expert in a certain field, a therapist for guidance or legal advice -good timeframe to find the right person. A very social placement for Mercury, all forms of online and offline communications. ****Just wait until Mercury get settled into Libra a few days, as the Pluto and Neptune energies will be strong on the ingress on the 26th.
Mercury 29 Virgo trines Pluto 29 Capricorn as it enters Libra -intensely focused on a situation.
Mercury 29 Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces as it enters Libra-Neptune dissolves the boundaries or the reality of a situation, creating confusion or lack of clarity with Mercury functions-thoughts, ideas or communications with others.
Sept 29th Mars 14 Cancer Trine Saturn Rx 14 Pisces
Mars in Cancer has a certain pace, it works well with Saturn in Pisces, both are concerned with patience and willingness to do the emotional work or have the difficult conversations. Discernment and timing could be tools that work well for this combination. A compassionate scanning of a situation, could also be a strength on this day, to choose the right words and actions.
Sept 30th Mercury 08 Libra /Sun 08 Libra Cazimi
When a planet meets the Sun at the exact same degree, it’s considered “in the heart of the sun” in Libra; this is a special moment to extract some magic. Libra is ruled by Venus and favors art, creativity, peace and love. Attract the magic with compliments and good energy!
