September marks a rewarding respite from the chaotic energies of the last few months! It is in September that we may begins seeing the initial results of the changes we have been making throughout this challenging year. This is not to say there aren’t more challenges ahead because we are by no means out of the woods, but this is definitely a time of opportunity, growth and harmonious rebalancing that gives us the motivation to continue forward!

September begins with an inspiring energy of opportunity and luck with Mars in Gemini Sextile to Jupiter in Aries! This energy is quickly followed by the first optimistic pass of soon-to-turn-retrograde Mercury in Libra opposite Jupiter. These energies may present opportunities that  are sure to light us up!

Venus moves into Virgo, the sign of her fall, however,  this is another transit of mostly positive aspects which will help us in practical ways, such as building toward our romantic and financial future. Mercury will station retrograde this month in Libra and move back into Virgo. While we will experience the typical Mercury Retrograde annoyances, this transit is another fairly positive one that will help us to restructure and rebalance our lives in a multitude of ways.

The Pisces Full Moon is magical as always and this one is no exception as the Sun and Moon make harmonious aspects to Uranus and the North Node, assisting us in our long-term quests for more freedom.

Things get a little bumpy in the middle of the month with a potentially anxious square from Venus in Virgo to Mars in Gemini. Be mindful of thoughts throughout this time and be especially mindful of your words as they have the potential to create friction in your relationships!

From there we’ll experience more harmonious and helpful energy with the Sun trine Pluto and Venus trine Uranus. This is a beautiful time to dig deep and think about the things you need in your life to feel more fulfilled and lit up! We then move through the Autumn Equinox and enter the harmonious season of Libra. This year the Sun enters Libra on the same day as the Mercury Cazimi, bringing powerful clarity and insight on the relationship front.

The final few days of September bring us beautiful energies surrounding the ROMANTIC Libra New Moon! Venus conjuncts intellectual Mercury, opposes dreamy Neptune and trines steamy Pluto, bringing all our thoughts and energy to LOVE!

Intense FOCUS is the name of the game at the end the month with retrograde Mercury in Virgo trine Pluto for the second pass AND a much needed trine from Mars in Gemini to Saturn in Aquarius! This is a beautiful time for taking action on any newly refined goals.

The month ends with Venus moving into her home sign of Libra, a much anticipated transit each year as it softens our energies and brings our focus back cooperation!

This month gives us a beautiful glimpse of where our lives are headed, but it is not a time to rest on our laurels! ENJOY the more harmonious energies, rest and recharge as needed, but take advantage of the moment by continuing to plan for the future!

Most active from August 28th through September 3rd, 2022

Mars in Gemini sextile Jupiter in Aries is an energy of leadership and strength along with the courage and initiative it takes to go after your passions. This transit kicks off the month of September, marking a much more positive shift in the energies!

This is a lovely energy to harness if you’ve been waiting to go after a particular pursuit. Sextiles are an energy of opportunity, but they do require action! Equally, if something opens up for you at this time, this is your sign to take action on it before it passes you by!

Mercury Opposite Jupiter from Libra to Aries

Exact on September 2nd, 2022 at 7:49pm MDT

Most active from August 31st through September 4th, 2022

Mercury opposite Jupiter is an energy that can bring big ideas and even bigger ideals. This energy will likely feel very optimistic, however the challenge here is we could be overly optimistic throughout this transit while missing important details.

Those with Mercury opposite Jupiter in the birth chart are navigating an inner tension between being able to see “the big picture” of their lives and the actual practical steps to take in order to get there. There can be a tendency to set your expectations too high with Mercury opposite Jupiter and wind up feeling let down too due impractical or unrealistic ideas.

Mercury opposite Jupiter is typically a quick transit, however what’s unique about this is that Mercury will be stationing retrograde in just a few days time while still in the orb of opposition to Jupiter. It’s possible that whatever ideas are initiated under this under this energy are not as fleeting as they may otherwise be. Pay attention! This is the first of three exact passes Mercury will make to Jupiter which indicates that the ideas that come about at this time are worth paying attention to, but they’ll require a bit of revision before proceeding forward.

Venus Enters Virgo

Exact on September 4th, 2022 at 10:05pm MDT

Active from September 4th through September 29th, 2022

As Venus travels through Virgo, the sign of her fall, there can be a bit of tension with regard to these two energies. Venus shows us what we value and take pleasure in, however, in Virgo we can feel too restricted or critical when it comes to Venusian topics throughout this time.

Those with this placement tend to seek out a logical match in partnership and are attracted to intellectual connection and practicality. In relationship, Venus in Virgo can often be critical of their partner, however the intention behind this criticism is usually a desire to help their partner improve themselves. Venus in Virgo pays great attention to detail in their appearance and values good hygiene and good manners! Their attention to aesthetic detail can make Venus in Virgo natives quite skilled in design!

The good news is that Venus will make fairly pleasant connections throughout this transit and for the most part, this is a great time to work on improving your relationship by doing small practical things for the one you love. This would also be an optimal time for reviewing your financial situation and revamping the budget. However, as Venus makes a square to Mars in Gemini, there is potential for disputes to occur due to being overly critical to a partner or disorganized in your finances.

Mercury Stations Retrograde at 9° of Libra

Exact on September 9th at 9:38pm MDT

Active from September 9th through October 2nd, 2022

It’s time for Mercury to turn retrograde again, but this time, it actually looks really beautiful! Mercury retrogrades get a bad rap and it’s unfortunate because they signify a time for slowing down a bit, and taking the time to review and revise what has already been done.

This retrograde period, Mercury is going to make a series of positive connections, including oppositions to Jupiter, trines to Pluto and a conjunction to Venus! While we will still experience the typical Mercury retrograde annoyances, if we use the energy wisely, these beneficial connections indicate a period of ease and blessing with regard to something that has been initiated already.

Mercury will retrace it steps between 9° of Libra back to 24° Virgo and back again once it goes direct in October. Make note of any planets between these degrees in your chart as well as any significant events that occur throughout this time are likely to come up again!

Full Moon at 18° of Pisces

Exact on September 10th, 2022 at 3:59am MDT

Most active from September 5th through September 15th, 2022

The astrology of the last few months has been quite turbulent and it is at the Pisces Full Moon when we'll be able to gain understanding by seeing the deeper meaning of the disruptive events that have unfolded in our lives recently. Through Virgo season the Sun has had our focus tuned the details, the facts and the actual tangible steps that need to be taken in order to integrate the changes that have occurred in order to achieve our goals.

The Pisces Full Moon always has a spiritual, healing quality to it, but the helpful involvement of Uranus and Neptune at this Moon indicate a gentle, compassionate awakening that leads to deep transformative healing and integration that will allow us to move forward feeling more whole.

The Pisces Full Moon is conjunct Neptune, sextile to Uranus and the North Node in Taurus and trine the South Node in Scorpio, all of which indicates unusual or creative opportunities for deep restoration, healing and a temporary escape from our earthly burdens.

Another indicator of integration and balance is Jupiter, the traditional ruler of Pisces, in Aries opposing Mercury, the ruler of Virgo, in Libra. Mercury will have just stationed retrograde at this Full Moon, putting an emphasis on our mental health and the need for more harmony and hope. Many people have been feeling worn down by the stressors of life lately, but the energy of Jupiter and Mercury in opposition is just the medicine the doctor ordered—one of optimism, hope and faith.

At the Pisces Full Moon, our challenges will still be ongoing, BUT it is here that we can see their purpose. It is here that we can see the light and we can allow ourselves to begin releasing the shackles that have kept us feeling like we are lost at sea for far too long.

Most active from September 15^th through September 17^th, 2022

Venus square Mars is an energy that we will all want to navigate mindfully. Venus in Virgo can be overly critical. Mars in Gemini can be harsh with words and unnecessarily contrarian. These two energies in a challenging square can spell trouble in relationships if not channeled in a healthy way. Passions run high while Venus is in square to Mars, which can lead to intense sexual attraction, however it can just as easily come out in the form of intense conflict.

Those born with Venus square Mars are hot-blooded by nature and exist with their physical energies running higher than most, which can present a challenge in their interpersonal relationships. They have a magnetic sexual attractiveness, but can easily erupt in frustration and anger, creating a dynamic in relationship that feels like a roller coaster.  However, these people are highly creative and must learn temper their intensity by channeling it in healthy ways, such as vigorous physical activity or an equally passionate sexual partner.

As we move through this transit, take care not to let little annoyances with your partner become big annoyances for it won’t go well under this energy. Because we’re dealing with the physical energies of Mars and Venus in two very mental signs, Gemini and Virgo, anxiety may be high in the body and using physical exertion is a good way to get of our heads.

Sun Trine Pluto from Virgo to Capricorn

Most active from September 17th through September 19th, 2022

If you’ve been making big changes to your life, this is a powerful transit that can bring deep realizations and illumination of just how far you’ve come in the process of your personal transformation. Pluto has a magnetic quality and when in positive connection to the Sun in Virgo, this energy can give tremendous power that allows one to be seen and have positive influence that inspires others to work hard and to be of service.

Those born with the Sun trine Pluto make mysterious and attractive leaders. They simply need to set their minds to what they want and they are able to magnetize everything they need to them very easily, including other people. They can be adept at understanding occult sciences as well as psychology and research. The involvement of Pluto with the Sun means that these people will experience transformations to their ego throughout their lifetime, however, because it is a trine,  they are more likely to initiate their transformations rather than having it forced upon them due to outside circumstances.

Mercury retrograde is in opposition to Jupiter and occurring alongside this energy. A great use of these combined transits is to spend time deeply reflecting upon your goals and sense of purpose as they relate to your current beliefs. It may be time to revise your plans in order to incorporate any new goals.

Sun Enters Libra/Autumn Equinox

Exact on September 22nd, 2022 at 7:04pm MDT

Active from September 22nd through October 23rd, 2022

Happy Libra season and Happy Solar Return to the Libras out there! Libra marks the Autumn Equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere, a time when the symbolic light of the Sun is balanced between night and day. Libra is the Cardinal Air sign of the zodiac, ruled by Venus, which makes this a pleasant and social energy that brings our attention to our relationships!

Those with their Sun in Libra value harmony above all else. They have an innate ability to put themselves in the shoes of others, which makes them very understanding and willing to find fairness in situations. Libras don’t get so easily angered, although they will stick up for justice and equality for all. The influence of Venus can be felt in the Libra’s calm demeanor, natural charm, classic beauty and cooperative nature. Libras have a special need for partnership, much like the other air signs who learn most about themselves through the reflection of others, Libras learn about themselves through partnership and close one one one connections.

This Libra season, the Sun makes harmonious connections to Mars in Gemini and Saturn in Aquarius. Additionally, Venus will enter the "Heart of the Sun" and go Cazimi on the very last day of Libra! The focus is very much on our relationships and establishing calm and equilibrium before we get to a LIFE-CHANGING Scorpio season!

Mercury Cazimi at 0° of Libra

Exact on September 23rd, 2022 at 12:50am MDT

Most active 2 hours before and after exactitude

Mercury makes its inferior conjunction to the Sun at 0° Libra. Mercury Cazimi is an exact conjunction to the Sun, but rather than being combust (when Mercury’s qualities are “burned” by the energy of the Sun,) the Cazimi period is a narrow window when Mercury is said to be at the Heart of the Sun and its qualities are strengthened by the Sun’s light.

Mercury Cazimi is a good time to spend in contemplation and being open to gaining insight into anything that has been troubling our minds or causing doubt and confusion. In Libra, we can gain clarity with regard to our relationships, important agreements we have made, or contracts waiting to be signed.

Venus Opposite Neptune from Virgo to Pisces

Exact on September 24th at 2:51am MDT

Most active from September 23rd through September 25th, 2022

On a positive note, the transit of Venus opposite Neptune brings a knack for creativity and a love for fantasy. Venus/Neptune energy is mystical beauty, glamour and romance. However, when Neptune is involved in a hard angle like an opposition, you can trust that things are not what they seem. Venus in Virgo can strive for perfection while an opposition to Neptune can yearn for the ideal. Neither is very attainable and this can leave us feeling let down by others or not being good in ourselves.

Those born with this placement are navigating a deep yearning for a soulmate, to connect on a spiritual level, but often have to work on their expectations in order to maintain a relationship. Money can come and go for these people. On the one hand, they are adept at visualization and creation, but on the flip side, their money can slip through their hands like water as these people can be overly optimistic and tend to overspend. Venus opposite Neptune people are deeply compassionate lovers and make beautiful artists too. Staying grounded and managing romantic and financial expectations is key anytime Venus and Neptune are together.

Use the energy of this transit to connect more deeply with a partner or to create something poetic and beautiful. Just be mindful that anyone you meet throughout this time may not be who they initially seem. Stay grounded and try not to idealize a person or an important purchase too much.
