September Forecast
Fuck me, I love Libra season. It marks the perfect energy to take everything that we have created and refined over the course of the year and simmer it down into something harmonious and lovely. This moth marks the beginning of that, even if we have to push through some last bits of Virgo that are hard. Good hard, mind you, but hard nonetheless.
There is a completion that happens this month, and a settling that will feel oh so welcome; don’t expect that until after the 15th, until then there is plenty of internal work to do, as well as a really hard waiting game. Just keep your eyes on the prize, y’all. Its coming.
I promise.
Sept 01 — Mars in Gemini sextile Jupiter in Aries
Saturn Rx in Aquarius opposition Venus in Leo
Mercury in Libra opposition Jupiter in Aries
SO here we go with a bit of an unpleasant bang. Not a bad bang, nothing blows up and there surely isn’t shrapnel or anything, but the whole experience is one of overwhelm and unpleasantness. Gemini Mars is somewhat of a pissed off squirrel on speed, and with Aries Jupiter weighing into that mix, you will find that you are a little helter skelter when trying to actually get anything done.
My advice is...don’t. Whatever you think needs to be done will be better served in the mental realm or the planning realm, not the land of execution. You’ll feel the fool if you rush ahead and try to land things that aren’t organized as well as you believe they are. There is a certain thoughtlessness present this day, one that is rooted in wanted the best of both worlds when you haven’t even sorted out which world you are in.
Try not to take things personally and just lay low until the energy settles.
Sep 03-15 — T-Square Saturn Rx in Aquarius, Uranus in Taurus, Ceres in Leo, South Node Rx in Scorpio
This hard aspect is with us for a couple of weeks, and the energy of it will be humming in the background of everything else that goes on. Like the refrigerator humming along quietly. Only more annoying.
Saturn Rx asking us to think big and to think outside the box. Uranus Rx looking to blow up and reconfigure things that just aren’t working. South Node Rx pulling skeletons out of the closet and making them dance in the streets. Ceres in Leo willing to do whatever it takes to take care of her charges. Its some pretty potent stuff right there, none of it bad, right? But talk about intense. Like, no quarter intense.
So if you know this, then you know how to throttle that intensity and funnel it into where it needs to go. If you don’t, then this can cause you to make some decisions that might not be fully formed. This energy has some stewing to do, and some settling down to experience. This is not bombastic energy, so don’t run into wildfires or push the red button, okay?
Use it to see, plan, decide and then act. Later. Until that time, let this hang out in the background and do its thing.
Sep 06 — Venus enters Virgo
Earth Trine Moon in Capricorn, North Node in Taurus, Sun in Virgo
Everything feels super earthy here, which will be so very pleasant after the last week. Love, Money and Home issues will feel very practical and you will be more cautious about everything. Your emotions will not be easily swayed, and you will want to get all the facts before weighing in or committing. If your relationships don’t meet very practical, structural, and financial benchmarks, they will be up for internal review. You’ll have a quiet confidence and surety about you that has been recently lacking. Enjoy it.
Sep 07 — Pallas enters Cancer
Your mind centers in family, hearth and home. Every decision you make will be weighed against the impact that it will have in these arenas. You’ll feel much more connected to your ancestors, and those elder living relatives who have tread the path you now walk. Use that energy to sort through the intensity of the square, get good advice and listen, listen, listen.
Sep 09 — Mercury stations in Libra
This one has the potential to suck dicks, y’all. Expect the standard communication fare when it comes to Mercury Rx, but expect it to feel all a bit more sticky. Libra tends to prevaricate in order to make everything smooth for everyone. Libra Mercury also tends to manipulate others to create best outcomes. So when we flip this backwards, you may tread that line between shading truth and outright lying. You might think you are acting in best interests, when you are actually flipping the script and behaving selfishly. For the next three weeks, just watch your motives and your mouth.
Sep 10 — Full moon in Pisces conjunct Juno/ Sedna in Pisces
Pisces full moon is super dreamy and super connected to the possibility of things. It is soft, sweet and full of selfless love. You can use this energy to help you set good intentions for the Retrograde, let go of things we may have been obsessing over too long, and stop worrying about things we cannot control. Shift your focus and let go.
Sep 11 — Sun in Virgo trine Uranus in Taurus/ Pluto Rx in Capricorn
This Virgo sun is very busy this month, so it bear noting that the warm edge of Virgo is all up and in your business. The warm qualities of Virgo bring compassion, detailed offerings of service and a kind focus on carrying the other through. This is not a closed trine, so the sun impacts both Uranus and Pluto, but neither Pluto nor Uranus impact each other. Those warm Virgo qualities working with Pluto rx ask you to get real with yourself (again) and others regarding what structures need to die in your life. Working with Uranus, the focus is also on structure, but also on innovation. How can you get real and get sorted into a new mindset? Use that energy now.
Sept 15—Sun in Virgo trine Moon/ Uranus Rx/ North Node Rx in Taurus
That trine closes once the Moon joins and conjuncts Uranus and the North Node, creating a solid loop of cooperation. Your heart is in it now, and your heart wants that stability that these changes can bring. Don’t worry, don’t be scared. You’ve got this. Just don’t jump the gun and take your time getting through the process.
Sept 16 — Venus in Virgo square Mars in Gemini
Sun in Virgo opposition Neptune in Pisces
Because the hits just keep coming and the pendulum swings back into anxiety and stress and uncertainty. That practical oriented Venus does not at all vibe well with that slightly scattered Mars. This will absolutely zap your energy as these two planets try to cancel each other out. Additionally, that practical Virgo Sun does exactly the same thing to a watery Neptune in Pisces. Nothing will be clear, so its best to just do fun things that don’t require clarity.
Sept 18 — Mercury Rx in Libra opposition Jupiter in Aries
As much as we love Aries Jupiter, it really does create a very specific set of problems. This placement really wants to blow things out big, creating opportunities and actions that inspire growth. Unfortunately, much of the concurrent astrology really doesn’t support this. So when that shady Mercury Rx shows up in opposition, you may be prone to writing cheques with your mouth that your ass can’t cash. Avoid making promises today, as they will be very difficult to keep.
Sept 19 — Grand Water Trine Moon in Cancer/Juno Rx in Pisces/ South Node Rx in Scorpio
So much as we had that earthy moon trine earlier this month, now you get a watery one. So you can expect to really be in touch with your feelings, your desires, your secrets and you needs. This is actually a great arrangement for you you to sort out where you give in to your loved ones out of a sense of past habits. Give, of course, but know what you are doing, how it impacts your emotions and how those emotions drive your behaviour.
Sep 22-3 — Sun enters Libra/Fall Equinox
Sun in Libra conjunct Mercury in Libra
Sit back today and take stock of what is wonderful. An equinox is a day of perfect balance, with t eh forces of light and dark reigning equally. In the sign of Libra—the very image of balance—we can expect to feel adroitly poised in the center, like a cat comfortable on a rail. In thos space of equity, take note of how that feels, how easily the breath moves and how calm the mind can be when you accept both sides of the coin with equal value.
This is a world of duality, and one of polarity. No amount of wishing for only the good or the light wil make it so. But when we understand that both sides of the coin, both sides of the pole, are merely ends of one thing, we can begin to move into presence and acceptance of the now. This equinox is an amazing energy set for you to taste the now and to be utterly charmed by it.
Libra is beauty and grace. It is justice and fairness. It is balance and acceptance of both sides as having value. This is a great meditation for you on this day, and a way to bring peace forward into your life. Bring your mind into center and let your thoughts flow from that equanimous space.
This is the time to be, not the time to do. Don’t get confused.
Sep 24 — Venus in Virgo opposition Neptune in Pisces
Mercury Rx re-enters Virgo opposition Jupiter in Aries
Moon in Virgo opposition Juno/ Sedna in Pisces
I do hope you took that time to be in the center of your Now the last few days, because this day has the potential to pop you right off center and back into the sense of being in conflict. There is lots of Virgo energy that wants to sort things out and put them in their “right” places. But most of that energy is hit up by an equal amount of Pisces that wants to just let everything flow unhindered in the direction it wants to go. This is especially true in your love lives—friend, family, lovers—where you want to help and be of service at the exact same time that you want to abandon those roles and let the chips land where they may.
The solution to this is to remember the Equinox lessons. Structure and Flow are two ends of the same body of thought, so where can you find the middle ground? How can you balance these seemingly conflicting desires to come to the realization that they are actually just two expressions of the same thing?
Don’t get hung up in the feelings of this. Your mind is the best weapon here, and it is in the perfect sign in the perfect orientation to turn your gaze withing and be of service to yourself and your health. That is the best way to help those you love. Like putting on your mask first in case of cabin depressurization. Feel me?
Sep 26 — New moon in Libra
Sun in Libra conjunct Moon in Libra / Venus in Virgo/ Mercury Rx in Virgo
Moon conjunct Sun in Libra opposition Jupiter in Aries/ Chiron Rx in Aries
This is the emotional culmination of all that work that was asked of you in the last week. Once the New Moon hits Libra and hooks up with the Sun, Venus and Mercury, you just…..settle. It feels like an emotional reset button where you land in all of the mental concepts that you have been working on to create that much-needed balance in your life. This is the time to start some new things (or take a fresh look at familiar things) that have overtones of relationship, grace, and partnership.
Things have a greater chance of simply falling into place for you if you settle, become present and allow the balance here to work for you. Be right where you are, right when you are, and it may feel like luck comes to your side. Welcome it, trust it, and most of all, be it.
Sep 27-28 — Mars in Gemini trine Saturn Rx in Aquarius/ Vesta Rx in Aquarius
Saturn Rx in Aquarius/ Vesta Rx in Aquarius square North Node Rx/ Uranus Rx in Taurus
Ho boy. From that place of grace and presence comes a shite revelation that has the potential to rewrite your trajectory. This, of course, all depends on how far off course you have gone and what you are willing to do to re-direct. Either way, Lucy got some ‘splainin’ to do...to herself.
The pieces of you that are forward thinking, loyal, dedicated and committed to growth are taking a hard assed look at where you have just been swimming along for the sake of swimming, and how that action-for-action’s-sake is in direct relationship with your seated desire for a familiar life of stability, money and progress. Lemme tell you, I don’t think you are going to like how that understanding tastes.
You need to sit quietly with that and remain free of judgment. Take notes and be the neutral arbiter of your past decisions. You did what you did for the reasons that you felt were right at the time. You probably have new reasons and new needs, so you will need to make new decisions, and that’s alright. Looking back with regret serves nothing, looking back with purpose serves everything. Now that you know better, do better.
Sep 30 — Venus enters Libra
Ceres enters Virgo
I want you to take this last day of the month off. Maybe you have to go to actual work, and I get that. Its not what I mean by take the day off.
Don’t do things for people that take from you. Order take out for the family. Don’t answer that late text from a friend asking for a favour. Answer the work email in your own time. This is the time to reset the balance between making harmony for others, and taking care of your own needs. Tend only what lights your fires and trust that keeping that fire burning is the only way to be able to serve those that rely on its warmth.
