This September is no easy ride and will call upon you to marshal your resources. And yet, paradoxically, it is also nothing that you cannot handle. The way is laid open before us by the three outer planets of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, stemming from the recent New Moon at 0° of the Virgo sign, and additionally the most outer of the ancient planets that were known many centuries before these, Saturn. These four planetary archetypes participate in a very meaningful way in the lunation configurations that govern September. While recent months have emphasized all four of these mightily, in this month they might be the most starkly present of all, because of the closeness of their positions at the 1-degree mark of their various signs: Uranus in Gemini, Neptune and Saturn conjunct, with Neptune at 1° of Aries, and Pluto now having retrograded back to 1° of Aquarius. Thus we have Uranus in partile or same-degree trine with Pluto, with Saturn/Neptune at the midpoint, sextile to both. Because the recent New Moon degree, being 0°, is also quite close to 1°, this actually gives us two extremely close yod alignments, often called the “Finger of God” aspect pattern, on the one hand focused on Sun and Moon, and on the other a focus on the new 21st century planet Haumea, located at 1° Scorpio, square to Pluto; more on this latter below. The tight yod to the New Moon is quite significant, presaging intuitional enlightenment, mystical realizations, and, if we are ready to take it up, ongoing transformational pressure to be who we were all along meant to be.
The Saturn/Neptune conjunction in early Aries is interesting archetypally in and of itself, as essentially antithetical factors brought into combination, and plus there is its strong presence, in the first two degrees of Aries, thus in close aspect to the New Moon degree. Saturn is all about the limitations, and perhaps the trials and tribulations, of the 3D world of so-called reality, while Neptune transcends that physical limitation, and can thus represent illusion or escapism, getting away from the physical. And yet, Neptune has his own reality apart from the earthly realms, in psychic connection with Spirit and with numinous other-dimensionality. Together, they make this transcendent world more concretely realized, while also bringing an elusive insubstantiality to the simple here and now details of life on this planet. They also bring these archetypal significations to wherever they wind up landing in one’s natal chart.
Pluto in sextile, as the Lord of Death and Rebirth, primarily represents transformation, the ending of what was once significant and yet now has lost its efficacy in one’s life. As Dylan was cogent enough to remind us, everyone must recognize that they are “busy being born” and therefore dying to the old and outmoded patterns of their past selves.
Uranus is featured prominently now in Gemini – being closely square to the New Moon degree – and especially in this informationally oriented Air sign, represents intuitional realizations that arise from within the psyche and are nevertheless quite accurate when we pay attention to this form of knowing. There are with Uranus also the sudden twists and turns of novel circumstances and ideation. Taken together with the other outer planets to which it is closely connected in his aspectual arrangements, there is a rebellion and a necessary evolution away from the fading past and toward the pull of the new evolutionary horizon that beckons. And this applies on both an individual and as well, a societal level.
Jupiter located in mid-Cancer also represent the future calling, and the optimism of unlimited possibility, so that it is quite refreshing that Jupiter, too, is strongly aspected in this defining VirgoNew Moon, being in close semi-square, within a degree, to the Sun and Moon.
Finally, in terms of new 21st century planets, the Pluto- Haumea square at 1° of Aquarius and Scorpio, is therefore also tightly triggered in the VirgoNew Moon configuration with Haumea being the focal point of a second yod formation, from Saturn/Neptune in Aries and Uranus in Gemini. In my experience as I have been researching these new 21st century Nature planets, Haumea and Makemake, in general and the Pluto- Haumea square in particular, this planetary combo represents the truth of the matter coming out, where there had been at an earlier time, deception and lies. So we might see some more of that going on within the zeitgeist as the September month continues to unfold.
The New Moons that initiated the lunation cycles of the past several months have featured the planetary archetypes described above, although not quite as strongly configured as this upcoming September. Additionally this month, we have, on September 7th, a potent Full Moon and total lunar eclipse in mid-Pisces which aspects Venus at 15° of Leo, and also brings in Mars with Makemake for a greater degree of activism individually and as reflected in the society. This might serve as a culmination of one phase of this important September cycle.
The late VirgoNew Moon at 29° of the sign, on the 21st, is also an eclipse, and is therefore another quite potent juncture taking place with Sun and Moon on the very edge of Libra. The Libra Equinox when the Sun enters this cardinal Air sign is the very next day. This New Moon makes a grand trine with Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini, bringing on the evolutionary impact of these two mutually rebellious influences.
All in all, we have quite a month on our hands, and it will be up to us how we deal with the events and surprising revelations of this exciting month of metamorphosis. We do well to keep our spirits high and our gaze fixed on the potentially positive outcomes that may be possible if we can act according to the best parts of ourselves, what we come to from within. Blessed be!

This is yet another difficult and consequential month for you, Aries. The alignment of transformative outer planet energies, speaking now of Pluto, and Uranus most particularly, with Saturn and Neptune also dramatically thrown in for good measure, has never been more fully activated in these recent and quite potent lunations than now. Something is coming to a head, both personally, individually, and with regard to the collective. Your inner intuition is extremely high and operating on multiple dimensions, so that your night-time dreams may be able to tell you more about your true priorities than your more conscious thoughts that follow along from this starting point. If this seems backwards to you, that is one major point right now, which is to reorganize your thinking and your focus to what really matters, that is to say, what only you alone can determine as true. The nattering of the so-called real world and of consensus thinking will only take you so far, a fact which is becoming more and more evident to you over the course of another quite incredible thirty days. Certain evidence of advancement might slow down or bring you to a stop entirely, and yet loads of spiritual progress is available. Your mission in terms of Higher Self is the key, as everything else drops away as the illusion that it has always has been.
The following was written by our guest columnist, Kimberly Peta Dewhirst. You can find her at Star Sign Style
The recent New Moon in Virgo from the last week of August has set the tone for September, bringing your focus to your sixth sector of health, wellness, habitual day-to-day habit patterns, and workplace environments. This Virgo lunation cycle runs for thirty days, or through the first three weeks of September, bringing your focus to your day-to-day habits, regimes, and wellness. The recent VirgoNew Moon featured a powerful yod, or “Finger of God” aspect, focused on the Sun and Moon, which could inform the basis of a new practice, or continued attempt at the understanding of your identity, and how you interact with social networks. The yod pattern was underpinned by Pluto in Aquarius or your social sector, plus the tight ongoing conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in your sign, thus corresponding to your personal life and character. There is an additional quite powerful square from the New Moon to Uranus in Gemini, or your sector of mindset and communicative connection, adding focus to another life area. With Uranus highlighted there, your communication style, skills or sense of rapport with others is powerful, so that you could find new techniques or altered habits which lead you to be curious, or this also might apply to teaching or learning.
On Monday September 1st, your career sector ruler Saturn re-enters watery Pisces and your twelfth sector of unconscious process, retreat and recovery, signaling a shift in your understanding of professional successes and your own advancement, letting go of expectations around what you 'should' be accomplishing, and allowing your inner work greater prominence.
On the 2nd, Mercury enters Virgo, there to be co-present with the Sun. This could affect your logical mental process, curiosity, communication, and learning. At this ingress, Mercury is square Uranus and in aspect to nebulous Neptune and transformational Pluto, so that your intentions around routines, scheduled maintenance or your wellbeing could be pertinent and perhaps a talking point.
Also on the 2nd, Jupiter in Cancer and your fourth sector is simultaneously trine the North Node, indicating that your home and emotional roots compliment your daily rituals, routines, and the habits that support your wellbeing, while also aligning with subtle dreams or revelations within. Family or an understanding of your origins can enhance your unconscious process.
From the 3rd to the 4th, your ruling planet Mars, now in Libra and your seventh sector of relationships, squares Jupiter. This implies attention on important partnerships, either business or personal. You might be keen to collaborate or operate in partnership with others, as you get clearer on your own significant life mission as you are beginning to understand it. It’s possible attention on a significant other must be balanced with explorations of past history, or nurturing principles.
Uranus stations retrograde in Gemini on the 6th, amplifying the impact of this planet and perhaps brings surprise revelations around learning or information flow. During its station, standing dead-still for the moment in the sky, Uranus is trine Pluto, and sextile Neptune, bringing in ways of conceiving that are beyond the merely logical. This could be a time of new revelations that might factor in as your social connections and future goals continue to transform.
On the 7th, the Full Moon, which is a total lunar eclipse in Pisces, illuminates your dreamy sector of unconscious inner process, respite and healing. This constitutes an important evolution which could be revelatory – you could be feeling into a new take on metamorphosis or unravelling. Rest is potentially a theme, and there may be significance around security, and a soft-landing pad. It’s possible you’ll be reminded of the ways it’s safe to withdraw, embracing growth around family and caretaking. You could also become more aware of your evolving identity, and ways you express who you are to people in your wider community, so that while this lunation is about closure and retreat, it could also speak to a new chapter for your character that’s evolving, thanks to Neptune in your sign.
The Last Quarter Moon in Gemini arrives on the 14th, as Mercury conjuncts the Sun in Virgo, your sector of workplace conscious habits, and health. With the GeminiMoon and VirgoSun, the luminaries both answer to Mercury. This may be fortuitous and bring about a shift in your awareness of people in your surroundings, and a need to feel closely involved or in touch with kindred spirits. There could additionally be a call to engage with your schedule, practical interests, or job, aware of those around you in your environment.
On the 15th, Venus in Leo and your playful fifth sector is sextile Mars, in your seventh sector of relationships. A desire to co-create, with celebratory or romantic moments in partnerships could be important.
On September 17th, Mercury opposes Saturn, potentially bringing attention to routine upkeep, systems, admin and maintaining your part, yet perhaps also imposing a pause as you busy yourself in work settings. There may be an organized approach you’re employing, yet a call to pull back, using your imagination or intuition to get ahead.
On the 18th, Mercury enters Libra, arriving opposite Neptune in your sign. In the days that follow trines Uranus and Pluto forming the first of several grand trines in Air. This could be a strong, exciting time for your rapport, and comprehension in relationships of all kinds, with a sense of alliances, goals, and the company you keep, an awakening in language and communications, and also your individuality. How you present yourself could seem confusing, given the nebulous quality of Neptune, and your connection with a significant other might not be entirely clear.
On the 19th, Venus enters Virgo, creating the same yod aspect with Pluto and Neptune, as Mercury on the 2nd, and the New Moon of August, again with a square to Uranus. It may be easier to organize your role and finances and set about your job, yet you might also consider innovations among friends, or a change in the way you connect to ideas and information, which could prove distracting.
On the 21st, the second VirgoNew Moon lands at the last degree of the sign, which is also a partial solar eclipse, making this another powerful lunation. The Sun and Moon oppose Saturn in the last degrees of Pisces, quite near t the beginning of your sign. This implies that limits or obstacles you may encounter at this timing, and their effect on your daily life and sense of who you are, become important. With Saturn slipping back into Pisces, the involvement of the planet of limits and boundaries affects your twelfth sector of the unconscious, and yet also continues to affect your own identity house, or first sector, by being so close, within 1.5 degrees. The Sun and Moon are also in a grand trine, though one degree out of sign, with Uranus in Gemini, your communication sector, and Pluto in Aquarius which corresponds to your sector of friendships, groups, and communal spirits. A key partner or figure could bring extra intel around this fresh start. You could reset your day-to-day routines, or shift your approach to professional systems, and wellness practices. It will be to your benefit to take another look at the way your evolving sense of who you are is contributing to your understanding of where you might be heading, as the difficulties and transformative process of this summer continue to unfold.
On the 22nd, Mars enters Scorpio and your eighth house of commitments or lasting alliances, and this may be a strong time to merge, or broach what’s shared, combined, entrusted or invested with others. The weeks that follow could see you developing loyalty and deepening an oath or contractual agreement. However, there is also to consider the square to Pluto during this Mars ingress, which may add transformational pressure, perhaps as you consider who you are in the wider context of your social scene or network.
The Libra Equinox arrives on this day too, as Sun enters Libra arriving there opposite Neptune, and forming another grand trine in Air with Uranus and Pluto. This brings the spotlight to collaborations and marriage partnerships, but also to your circle of friends, society and dynamic ways of being in touch with those around you. Welcome fun, creativity, play and romance between yourself and significant others, part of something beyond your individual nature.
The transformational effects of this time-frame are not letting go, Taurus, perhaps they are just beginning; certainly, they enter a new stage with this September month’s astrology. A dark creativity is unleashed that has its bright spots in between the rest. The material world itself seems less substantial than your nighttime dreams. You have plenty of intuition now it’s true, and also to a certain degree an acknowledgment of ancient wounding that could undergo a flare up and take on a new potency of poison that is also medicine. This in the process broadening your horizons by healing other aspects of your psyche. You are facing real-world difficulties that can also serve as metaphor bringing in another layer of abstraction and partaking of unexpected additional dimensionality. You exist in these several places simultaneously. This is especially so after the month’s first week, on the 7th, when the total lunar eclipse in Pisces lights up your sector of social connection and future plans. This creates an emotional resonance that increasingly affects others around you in a more of less positive way as the month continues to unfold. Your inspired creativity only gets stronger and is subject to sudden swerves that challenge you to stay with it. Finances may fluctuate but that seems, in the end, not to really matter.
The following was written by our guest columnist, Kimberly Peta Dewhirst. You can find her at Star Sign Style
You enter September under the influence of the recent VirgoNew Moon in your own Earth element, which covers the thirty-day lunation cycle that follows, so the first two thirds of September up to the 21st. This New Moon took place in your inspirational fifth sector, illuminating artistic projects, romance, fertility, and any children in your life, or what brings you joy. This fresh start also features a powerful yod, or “Finger of God” aspect, focused on the Sun and Moon, so that the fresh reset implied in this New Moon configuration around pleasure-seeking and creative outlets is also impacted by your unconscious process, and as well your career and professional life. The yod pattern was underpinned by Pluto in Aquarius or your sector of external reputation and career, plus the tight ongoing conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in Aries, which corresponds to your sector of secret inner activity, unconscious process, and inner work. There is also quite a powerful square from the New Moon to Uranus in Gemini, corresponding to your sector of values, resources, self-worth and income. There could be surprises there. Unexpected fluctuations could also be productive new insights around how the factor of the material world affects your life. Over the course of a potent monthly cycle, love, creativity, what your heart wants, and your natural desires could be emphasized, plus where you’re headed professionally, or on your own personal trajectory.
On Monday September 1st, your philosophical sector ruler Saturn re-enters watery Pisces and your eleventh sector of team spirit, dreams and wishes, signaling a shift toward the company you keep, and perhaps what you’re keen to come together on among your peers. You might revisit projects, a quest for meaning, or ventures that bring you into contact and collaboration with friends, sensing hopes and aspirations that are supported by your community or industry mates.
On the 2nd, transactional planet Mercury enters Virgo, there to be co-present with the Sun. At this moment, Mercury is square Uranus and in aspect to Neptune and Pluto, so that your dealings and engagements may be surprising, revealing and perhaps productive, so that you’re able to cut-through to ideas about what you really want, and also what you value or appreciate.
Also on the 2nd, Jupiter in Cancer and your third sector is simultaneously trine the North Node, indicating that you could be feeling connected to your social scene, perhaps with a truthfulness in communications, or growth among your local connections and those likeminded. You might be writing, teaching, learning or exploring your surrounding environment, conscious of your own desires, sexuality, fertility, talents and creativity, perhaps paying more attention to children, and what your heart wants, while also tapping into groups, your audience, social spheres and collective dreams.
On the 4th, Mars, now in Libra and your sixth sector of health and workplace settings, squares Jupiter. You may be called to reconcile your approach to daily duties and routines – delegating, managing people or task loads – keeping on top of your habits, while also navigating close personal relations, communicating, and developing rapport with those around you.
Uranus stations retrograde on the 6th, amplifying the impact of this planet and perhaps brings surprise revelations around finances, your assets or position, and core values. During its station, standing dead-still for the moment in the sky, Uranus is trine Pluto, and sextile Neptune. It could be worth pausing to reflect on your role, along with professional factors and confidential matters that you also must honor.
On the 7th, the Full Moon, which is a total lunar eclipse in Pisces, illuminates friends, groups, your sense of team spirit, and the industry, social setting, or movement you’re a part of. This Full Moon also aspects Venus, your ruler, making it more consequential for you, and may indicate habit patterns that, having outlived their usefulness, are ready to be retired. You could feel a kinship with siblings or neighbors, best friends, or people in your surroundings, along with the common goals you feel yourself to be aligned with. Your soft skills could be opening up to those around you, so that you may want to note supportive allies and consider them in your ongoing evolutionary process that has been so active lately.
During the Last Quarter Moon in Gemini on the 14th, Mercury conjuncts the Sun in Virgo, your sector of creative projects, enjoyment and expression. With the GeminiMoon, the luminaries both answer to Mercury. This may bring about a shift in your awareness of what you feasibly bring to others, what you give, do or donate. Practical encounters or meet-ups might appeal, and there could additionally be a call to have fun, engaging with your talents as you do so.
On the 15th, your ruling planet Venus in Leo and your fourth sector of home and family environments is sextile Mars, in your sixth sector of health regimes and lifestyle choices. An appreciation of domestic settings, your stability, and goings on under your roof or the way things run beautifully could be important.
On September 17th, Mercury opposes Saturn, potentially bringing attention to your desires, artistic plans, your children or what you want, yet perhaps also underscoring the opinions of society, the beliefs of the masses, your friends or audience, so that you might have to navigate your preferences with the consensus of your peers.
Then on the 18th, Mercury enters Libra, arriving opposite Neptune, and in the days that follow trines Uranus and Pluto forming a grand trine in Air, the first of several in the latter part of the current month. This could find you broaching the day-to-day running of operations, admin and your duties, with a sense of your public image that’s projected, your title and profile, and the logistical components of spending and finances, and also hidden facets, which are concealed or confidential. Sacrifices you’re making or your inner, unconscious tendencies might seem consuming, given the omniscient quality of Neptune, and perhaps the particulars of your employment or errands could be unclear.
On the 19th, Venus enters Virgo, creating the same yod aspect with Pluto and Neptune, as Mercury on the 2nd, and the New Moon of August, again with a square to Uranus. You might be happy devoting your attention to kids or your inner child, to celebratory plans, loved ones or playdates, at ease with the things that bring you pleasure.
On the 21st, the second VirgoNew Moon lands at the last degree of the sign, which is also a partial solar eclipse which is an extra-powerful New Moon with effects lasting for up to six months. The Sun and Moon oppose Saturn, now in late Pisces, implying further shifts around your love life or artistic tastes, and your day-to-day events and experiences or inner wok of all kinds. You might be exploring having better boundaries. The Sun and Moon are also in a grand trine, though out of sign, with Uranus in Gemini – your sector of wealth, self-worth and earned income – and Pluto in Aquarius, or your sector of career, vocation, and public successes. You might benefit by embracing a fresh approach to your sense of what you are looking to out of your vocational choices, and you might want to remember to take into very close account your own internal principles and values as you get ahead.
On the 22nd, Mars enters Scorpio and your seventh or relationship sector. This may be a strong, exciting time to become more directly and intimately involved with partners, key people or a love match. However, an immediate square to Pluto in your career sector during this Mars ingress could find that your reputation, public life, vocation, or ambitions impacts your unions, or vice versa.
The Libra Equinox arrives on this day too, as Sun enters Libra arriving there opposite Neptune, and forming another grand trine in Air with Uranus and Pluto. This brings the spotlight to your daily rituals and general maintenance, with workplace and domestic settings emphasized. You could find yourself very focused on your regime, career path, and public profile. Meanwhile, your secret plans, recovery and sacrifices are in this picture too, and play into the arrangements you’re keeping up with, to maintain your wellbeing.
This is another month of unexpected events and new revelations, Gemini, along with a focus on home and family as important stabilizers. The recent VirgoNew Moon, at 0° of the sign, also directly squared Uranus in yours, increasing your collusion with this Trickster archetype. Uranus is known for fostering intuition, an inexplicable knowing that emerges from deep within you. Being logical, as members of your sign fundamentally are, there is a temptation to disregard what cannot be explained, and this month you are in store for a new exercise in resisting that retreat. You benefit by suspending concerns and just going for it. The wisdom that comes your way might be exactly what you need, a kind of shock therapy to move you into your next stage of your evolving beliefs and worldview Among the inspiration and the identity shifts accompanying this current intensity, you are being led toward new ways of seeing future goals in a new light, requiring both a spiritual commitment and a dedication to finding a brand of truth that arises from no influence but your own. This is Neptune accompanied by Saturn, which brings a no-nonsense and realistic approach to what is essentially beyond the physical. As the month continues to unfold, with two eclipses and a cosmically inspired sense of creativity at the Libra Equinox, the ideas that are thus inspired in you become more and more evident. The fullness of an enhanced reality is the great gift of this time, if you have the courage to accept it.
The following was written by our guest columnist, Kimberly Peta Dewhirst. You can find her at Star Sign Style
As you enter September, the recent VirgoNew Moon brings your focus to your fourth sector of home life, sanctuary, security, and nurturing spaces. This Virgo lunation cycle that began in the last week of August runs for thirty days, or through the first three weeks of September, setting the tone to address the ground beneath your feet, the past, and your investment in a sense of stability. The recent New Moon features a powerful yod, or “Finger of God” aspect, focused on the Sun and Moon, so a new outlook on household matters or parenting are also impacted by your community networks and transforming belief system. The yod pattern was underpinned by Pluto in Aquarius or your worldly sector of higher mind, plus the tight ongoing conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in Aries, which corresponds to friendships, group associations, and your long-term goals. There is additionally a quite powerful square from the New Moon to Uranus in your sign, which adds another dimension to consider, as identity issues, your character or place in the broader scheme of things play into new beginnings in your home or family setting. This could be another month of surprises running through, and of unexpected evaluations.
On Monday September 1st, Saturn, the ruler of your sector of intimacy, partnership agreements, and personal evolution, retrogrades back into watery Pisces which is your tenth sector of vocation, and public image, signaling a shift towards renewed understanding of what your mission is like in the public sphere, also reflecting long-term plans and aspirations. You might be getting ready to revisit an agreement to succeed on a common mission, with your responsibilities or authority in public spaces.
On the 2nd, your ruler Mercury enters Virgo, there to be co-present with the Sun. At this moment, Mercury is square Uranus and in aspect to Neptune and transformational Pluto, so you might notice where you stand on residential issues, family, your homeland, ancestral ties or emotional matters, with friends, global or moral quests, and your own take potentially intensifying life under your roof.
Also on the 2nd, Jupiter in your second sector of values and resources is simultaneously trine the North Node, indicating that you could be conscious of your income and core values, and how they sit within your inner landscape, while also developing an understanding of your contribution and financial position, enhancing how you’re sailing on course, getting ahead.
On the 4th, your social sector ruler, Mars, now in Libra or your fifth sector of creative self-expression, squares Jupiter. There may be a playful pursuit, interests or plans that are charged with passion, which aren’t entirely reconciled alongside your role and practical considerations, or perhaps what you truly value. You might look closely at where you’re spending your time, energy, or money.
Uranus stations retrograde on the 6th, amplifying the impact of this planet and perhaps brings surprise revelations and excitement around your personal life. During its station, standing dead-still for the moment in the sky, Uranus is trine Pluto, and sextile Neptune. It could be worth pausing to reflect on an awakening you’re experiencing, along with perspectives offered from outside sources, and the goals, dreams and wishes that you also must honor.
On the 7th, the PiscesFull Moon, also a total lunar eclipse, illuminates your career and professional life. This constitutes an important evolution which could be powerful for career choices and goals. You could feel your input and knowledge of your role, and what you bring to the table as it breeds respect or applause, contrasting with your more private life as represented by the Sun opposed in Virgo. Your professional profile, sense of authority, status or validation could be considerable, as an active sense of your creative self-expression also chimes in to further your public presence.
During the Last Quarter Moon in your sign on the 14th, Mercury conjuncts the Sun in Virgo, your sector of household and home environment, and your psychological roots. With the GeminiMoon being square the VirgoSun, the luminaries both answer to Mercury. This may bring about a shift in the way you nurture and secure yourself, tend and take care of your personal life, and see your family as part of who you are. There could additionally be a call to be more present for goings on within your four walls or familiar environments.
On the 15th, Venus in Leo and your third sector of siblings, neighbors, communication skills and curiosity is sextile Mars, in your fifth sector of creative self-expression. Stepping into your inner circle or environment, making sense of your closest ties and your common passions, hobbies or interests could be important.
On September 17th, Mercury opposes Saturn, potentially bringing attention to your home, security, and family unit, yet perhaps also imposing a pause around your dealings in domestic or residential matters. There may be ideas that you’re considering, yet a position of authority, and your commitment to a leadership role could stop you in your tracks.
Then on the 18th, Mercury enters Libra, arriving opposite Neptune, and in the days that follow trines Uranus and Pluto forming a grand air trine, to be repeated at Fall Equinox, when the Sun enters Libra. Here, your interests may be playful, fun, celebratory or creative, with a sense of the global or cultural perspective you have, and an awakening that’s personal, and your friendships. How you show up among people in your circle could add confusion, given the mystifying nature of Neptune, and perhaps the way you showcase your talents, artistic side, sexuality or demonstrate loving affections could be unclear.
On the 19th, Venus enters Virgo, creating the same yod aspect with Pluto and Neptune, as Mercury on the 2nd, and the New Moon of August, again with a square to Uranus. A gravitational pull may bring you homeward, so that private spaces could seem easier to succumb to, allowing you to rest, stabilize and even enjoy your surroundings.
On the 21st, the second VirgoNew Moon lands at the last degree of the sign, which is also a partial solar eclipse and a more powerful lunation. The Sun and Moon directly oppose Saturn, implying limits or obstacles are to be navigated around your career choices, advancement, or public life as you're also addressing your home life, emotional roots, or family matters. The Sun and Moon are also in a grand trine, though out of sign, with Uranus in your sign, or your sector of self and identity, plus Pluto in Aquarius – which corresponds to your sector of higher mind, worldview, and broader outlooks on life. This could reset household environments and your role at home, or your interpretation of your beginnings. As you engage with your inner world, stability and foundations, there may be shifts in the way you regard issues of family of origin, including your transforming views on the world and your part in it. Your creativity, talents, heart, and passion could inform this fresh start, with Mercury nearby in your inspiring fifth house. You might wind up considering your base, property or a parent with affection for a fun, artistic angle.
On the 22nd, Mars enters Scorpio and your sixth house of health and routine habits, and this may be a strong, energizing time for you, to get on top of things in workplace settings or domestically. The weeks that follow could see you productive, whether maintaining your physique or organizing your space. Your job, admin and process could become a hot topic. There is also square to Pluto during this Mars ingress, which could add transformational pressure to the equation. This is as you consider your community, or broader outlook and global connections alongside your workplace efforts.
The Libra Equinox arrives on the 22nd also, when the Sun enters Libra. The Sun opposes Neptune as it does so, forming another grand trine in Air with Uranus and Pluto. This brings the spotlight to your desires and creativity, with romance and good times emphasized. You could find yourself very focused on what’s fun for you, with a connection to your hobbies, children, and the arts, and adventures or your outlook. Your wider social scene and affiliates might have an effect on the route you take to personal enjoyment.
This is another transformative month, Cancer, when things are changing both within you, and without. On the heels of an intense series of summer months, there remain confronting indications. An enhanced interior presence of Trickster Uranus this September enhances your increased focus on communicative outreach with almost magical powers of intuition, so that information arrives at your mental doorstep in many ways. Your career revamp continues as well with new wrinkles that convey that it is not so much what consensus thought has to teach you, but rather what you can derive from strictly your own inner process. And yet that is enough. This is borne out even further after September’s first week by the Lunar Eclipse and PiscesFull Moon in your Higher Mind sector. Your sense of who you are at the deeper layers of your being is advanced by what you know in your heart of hearts that you unflinchingly believe. The New Moon eclipse of the 21st and Libra Equinox the next day also signal an important turning point. Home and family concerns become the focus, in opposition to the exigencies of your career and profession, while also somewhat in collusion with that significant part of life. In both areas it is becoming more and more evident that your bedrock beliefs are your guiding principles, the values that only you can fully understand and to which you can entirely commit.

The recent VirgoNew Moon from the last week of August has set the tone for September, bringing your focus to your third sector of connection and communication. This Virgo lunation cycle runs for thirty days, or through the first three weeks of September, bringing your focus to your communicative outreach, comprehension and intellect, language, skillsets, and your thought process in general. The recent New Moon features a powerful yod, or “Finger of God” aspect, focused on the Sun and Moon, so that your thoughts are sizzling and vibrant, and could become the basis of a new outlook on your life, or renewed understanding of where your career or a relationship might be taking you. The yod pattern was underpinned by Pluto in Aquarius or your intimacy sector, plus the tight ongoing conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in Aries, which corresponds to your vocational sector. There is an additional quite powerful square from the New Moon to Uranus in Gemini, your sector of unconscious process, isolation, and inner work, which adds another dimension to consider. With Uranus highlighted there, your intuition is very strong right now, and you could find new areas to study, inwardly, reflecting what is going on with you behind the scenes. Unexpectedly, logic alone is not your only source of information in this September timing, and perhaps not even the most important one. Your transformative process leading to your next evolutionary stage that has been in the works all summer continues, and learning, teaching and relating could be part of that, with an emphasis on intimacy with existing or potential partnerships.
On Monday, September 1st, your relationship sector ruler Saturn re-enters watery Pisces and your ninth sector of knowledge, wisdom and higher mind, signaling a shift in your perception of intimate unions, what you’ve come to know and understand about dealing with important others in your life, perhaps involving your beliefs and worldview.
On the 2nd, communication planet Mercury enters Virgo, there to be co-present with the Sun. At this moment, Mercury is square Uranus and in aspect to nebulous Neptune and transformational Pluto, so that your thoughts, while somewhat scattered, are also powerful. There could be surprise revelations that come to you suddenly, or a glimpse of life changes that are underway with you at deeper layers of your psyche.
Also on the 2nd, Jupiter in your first or identity sector is simultaneously trine the North Node, indicating that you could be feeling optimistic and expansive about your recent learning curve or travel/educational plans. You could find that you are becoming more conscious regarding your connections, ideas, and cognizance, or also perhaps coming into alignment with those who are like-minded, and this can enhance your own adventure of truth, experience, and understanding.
On the 4th, your vocational planet Mars, now in Libra and your fourth sector of home, roots and family, squares Jupiter. This could present a momentary distraction from your journey of growth and personal expansion, so you may want to pay attention to life behind closed doors, or factors that warrant your attention in household settings.
Uranus stations retrograde on the 6th, amplifying the impact of this planet and perhaps bringing surprise revelations around internal work or recovery from inner wounding. During its station, standing dead-still for the moment in the sky, Uranus is trine Pluto, and sextile Neptune. This is a volatile configuration presaging further transformation and spiritual realizations, or perhaps as well illusion or deception, with Neptune so fully involved. The potential is there for over-idealization, or ongoing confusion, and it could be worth pausing to reflect on the way you may withdraw and mend inwardly, along with outer world commitments that you also must honor.
On the 7th, the Full Moon, which is a total lunar eclipse in Pisces, illuminates your visionary sector of truth-seeking, wanderlust, and long-distance quests. This constitutes an important evolution and expansion of your mind and spirit which could be revelatory – you could feel that the special attitudes and understanding that are uniquely your own are amplified. Your personal development and life philosophy are potentially featured, along with your social setting, to include friendships, groups you favor, and life goals you feel yourself to be aligned with. This might be a time to soak up opportunities to broaden your perspective even further.
During the Last Quarter Moon in Gemini of the 14th, Mercury conjuncts the Sun in Virgo, your sector of communication and learning. With the GeminiMoon, the luminaries both answer to Mercury. This may be fortuitous and bring about a shift in your awareness of certain issues that have been festering. A retreat within – or moment to catch your breath – might appeal, and there could additionally be a call to get more involved with the people around you, interacting at something of a deeper level as you do so.
On the 15th, Venus in Leo and your second sector of earnings, confidence, values and income is sextile Mars, in your fourth sector of home and family. Improving what you can do at home or in your space could be important.
On September 17th, Mercury opposes Saturn, potentially bringing attention to neighbors, close contacts, or dealings in your local area, yet perhaps also imposing a pause in conversation, or a back and forth. There may be ideas that you’re considering, yet a call for authority and expertise could stop talks in their tracks.
Then on the 18th, Mercury enters Libra, arriving opposite Neptune, and in the days that follow trines Uranus and Pluto forming a grand air trine, to be repeated at Fall Equinox, when the Sun enters Libra. This could find you broaching your domestic life or family, with a sense of the contracts, binding ties or alliances you have, and an awakening hidden from view, and also your outward title or career. How you present yourself publicly could seem confusing or mysterious, given the nebulous quality of Neptune, and perhaps what you're expected to do or give to maintain a secure base could be unclear.
On the 19th, Venus enters Virgo, creating the same yod aspect with Pluto and Neptune, as Mercury on the 2nd, and the New Moon of August, again with a square to Uranus. Friends in your community could draw closer, so that it’s easier dealing with people in your environment, navigating those around you, or the plans and topics that link you together.
On the 21st, the second VirgoNew Moon lands at the last degree of the sign, which is also a partial solar eclipse – so a powerful lunation. The Sun and Moon oppose Saturn, implying that limits or obstacles you may encounter at this timing, and your consciousness of their effect on your life, become important. The Sun and Moon are also in a grand trine, though out of sign, with Uranus in Gemini or your sector of the unconscious, and Pluto in Aquarius which corresponds to your sector of intimacy and partnership agreements. You are truly digging into your psychological depths with this eclipse, and the effects may last for months. This could reset your interests and mindset, and shift your approach to writing projects, messages, engagement and how you cultivate rapport and undergo personal evolution. You win when you can sweep away outdated ways of thinking, becoming more aware of the discipline and hard work you must continue to put in, if you want to truly master your perspective shifts and a renewed outlook. Your roots, lineage, household set-up and nurturing tendencies could inform this fresh start, with the New Moon’s governing planetary body – Mercury – lodged nearby in your familial fourth house. You might consider from whence your ideas ultimately stem, where you’re going in this incarnation, and why, to the extent that you can understand that most profound question.
On the 22nd, Mars enters Scorpio and your fifth house of self-expression, and this may be a strong, exciting time for you, creatively or sexually. The weeks that follow could see you having an enjoyable time, whether through dating, indulging in playful pursuits or just having fun with children or potential romantic partners. Pleasure and gratification could be a hot topic, although there is also to consider the square to Pluto during this Mars ingress which may add transformational pressure, perhaps as you consider future goals, or promises made.
The Libra Equinox arrives on this day too, as Sun enters Libra arriving there opposite Neptune, and forming another grand trine in Air with Uranus and Pluto. This brings the spotlight to security and your sense of place, with home arrangements emphasized. You could find yourself very focused on your dwelling space, intimacy, sacred bonds, and commitments. Meanwhile, your vocation, external image and accomplishments are in this picture too, and play into the part you’re guided to inhabit at home.
This is yet another transformational month, Leo, this one focused on your values, resources, and partnerships of all kinds. Every area of your life is potentially affected, since your fundamental attitude toward where you are heading is now even further up for grabs. It might help when you can recognize that the Universe, perhaps also characterized as your Higher Self, has a role in all this independent from your individual conscious mind, and is that which you cannot expect to completely understand. Your intuition is extremely powerful right now, so that you can trust in it to somehow grasp this concept, and to tell you true, at least to the extent that you can stay open to possibility. This kind of mystical understanding of your pathway forward can come to you through the connections of close friends or your social scene, a source of unexpected events and surprising revelations in this late summer timing. As you attempt to determine the influence of Spirit on your intended career choices and your ultimate destination, unique internal values, apart from the influence of early conditioning or consensus thought, are also extremely valuable. These meditations are enhanced in the timing of the total lunar eclipse and Full Moon of the 7th, when you are beginning to see their effect in terms of actual events, your relationships with important others, and career manifestations.

The recent VirgoNew Moon from the last week of August has set the tone for September, bringing your focus to your second sector of resources, personal assets, and your values. This Virgo lunation cycle runs for thirty days, or through the first three weeks of September, so that material things, earnings, personal attributes, and self-worth are significant for you this month, and will likely display some changes in attitude as you go through it.

On the 4th, your planet of adventure Mars, now in Libra and your third sector of close connections and communications, squares Jupiter. It could be challenging expressing yourself as you’d like, with different opinions, beliefs, or ways of seeing the world interrupted by the need for confidentiality. Attention on an engaging interaction may be put on hold, thanks to a process that’s private, unconscious or to be kept under wraps.
Uranus stations retrograde on the 6th, amplifying the impact of this planet and perhaps brings surprise revelations around communal spirit, and wishes or goals you have for all people. During its station, standing dead-still for the moment in the sky, Uranus is trine Pluto, and sextile Neptune. It could be worth pausing to reflect on excitement in social spaces, with key people sympatico with your growth trajectory.
On the 7th, the PiscesFull Moon, a total lunar eclipse, shines a light on intimacy sector, associated with depth exploration of what’s dep inside yourself or another, including partnership reflections on what’s shared, combined, loaned or given freely, with issues of trust, reciprocity and mutual interests coming to the fore. You could feel into special ways of working with important others, ultimately yourself. Your jointly held resources, collaboration, and a coming together is potentially featured, along with ways you’re unified or bonded for keeps, invested with a pledge or unspoken vow.

On the 15th, Venus in your sign is sextile Mars, in your third sector of connection, siblings and local environments. Being present in your neighborhood or among close ties could be important, with attention on you at this time.
On September 17th, Mercury opposes Saturn, potentially bringing attention to your core values, financial issues or spending, and working with others, to combine what you have to offer. There may be something you have to give that requires negotiating, with potential to hit a temporary impasse or roadblock.
Then on the 18th, Mercury enters Libra, arriving opposite Neptune, and in the days that follow trines Uranus and Pluto forming a grand air trine, to be repeated at Fall Equinox, when the Sun enters Libra. This could be supremely exciting for your sense of rapport, for navigating the people and places around you, for your relationships, and for social ties that are different or unusual, and also big picture thinking. The presence of mystifying Neptune could bring confusion to your worldview, beliefs, faith or even bring a propensity for misinformation as you make your way in conversation, or among close ties.
On the 19th, Venus enters Virgo, creating the same yod aspect with Pluto and Neptune, as Mercury on the 2nd, and the New Moon of August, again with a square to Uranus. You might become more invested in your public image, taking stock of what you have that reflects where you strive to be, or ensuring you’re compensated to reflect your status and external successes.
On the 21st, the second VirgoNew Moon lands at the last degree of the sign, which is also a partial solar eclipse, indicating another potent lunation. The Sun and Moon oppose Saturn in the final degrees of Pisces, or your sector of partnership agreements and shared resources, implying that limits or obstacles you may encounter at this timing, and your consciousness of their effect on your personal resources, become important. The Sun and Moon are also in a grand trine, though out of sign, with Uranus in Gemini or your sector of teamwork, and Pluto in Aquarius which corresponds to your relationship sector. This could reset your perception of earned income and expenses, and shift your approach to money, personal security, and how you make a living. Your closest allies could inform this fresh start, with Mercury, the New Moon’s ruler, nearby in your house of siblings, communications, and learning. You might consider material and intangible rewards through the eyes of your neighbors, It may be necessary to relinquish control over what you want and what you have, payment processes, and your position, making room for something new and differently motivated. A fresh start could depend on what you consider to be valuable or worthwhile, what only you can build, source or develop by yourself, based on your inner principles.
On the 22nd, Mars enters Scorpio and your fourth house of home and domestic environments, and this may be a strong time to direct attention to your roots, family settings and perhaps exploring the past. The weeks that follow could see you broaching nurturing or residential spaces, although there is also to consider the square to Pluto during this Mars ingress, which may add transformational pressure, perhaps as you consider significant others.
The Libra Equinox also arrives on September 22nd, as Sun enters Libra arriving there opposite Neptune, and forming another grand trine in Air with Uranus and Pluto. This brings the spotlight to siblings, close friends, and neighbors, with communication emphasized. You could be very focused on relatives or local areas, with key partners and social networks benefitting from your participation. Meanwhile, your visionary potential, global plans, and projects with those further afield are in this picture too, even coloring your personal presence in neighborly environments.
This is another challenging month for you, Virgo, with yet distinct rewards if you are willing to “let go and let God.” With two New Moons in your sign, and the second one an eclipse, this is indeed a special September. And with the outer planet configurations of each, where Uranus is particularly emphasized, along with Pluto, plus Saturn and Neptune highlighted in your sector of intimacy and personal evolution, you have the continuation of a period of inevitable transformation and change. This is also a time of the recognition of the values of partnership in your life as simultaneous to exercising more fully your own individual creativity and self-development. If this sounds paradoxical then you are on the right track, for, as well-known psychologist and author Thomas Moore says, “the nature of the soul is paradox;” and it is soul-level that you seek. As you meditate on additional dimensions to the fundamentals of who you are, relationships with important others come out of the shadows and into the light of greater conscious awareness. There is also a strong factor now of career and profession, with their unexpected events and startling revelations, this month even more so. With the total lunar eclipse and Full Moon of the 7th, which leads you further into issues of self and other, much comes to a head. Additionally, there is the timing of the 21st and 22nd, when the solar eclipse and the Sun’s ingress into Libra complicate matters and yet also simplify. This all goes much better if you can admit the failure of your logical approach and simply surrender.

You enter September under the influence of the recent New Moon in your sign, which covers the thirty-day lunation cycle that follows covering the first three weeks of September. This personal fresh start New Moon configuration features a powerful yod, or “Finger of God” aspect, focused on the Sun and Moon, so that new outlook for you also includes habits, health, and workplace factors, together with your sense of intimacy, and all could be undergoing a process of metamorphosis.

This latter combination indicates limitations that are also more than a bit mystical, corresponding to intimacy within yourself, partnership agreements, and all you’re committing to with important others. There is additionally a powerful square from the New Moon to Uranus in Gemini, your sector of professional success, vocational pathways, and public acclaim, which adds another dimension for you to consider.

During the Last Quarter Moon in Gemini on the 14th, Mercury, your ruler, conjuncts the Sun in your sign, and with the Moon in Gemini, squaring this point, the luminaries are also aligned, both answering to Mercury.

On the 15th, Venus in Leo and your twelfth sector of mysteries, acceptance and closure is sextile Mars, in your second sector of security, earned income and self-worth. Letting go of expectations around rewards or your personal effects could be important.

In addition to being a rare second New Moon in the same sign, this one is also special in being an eclipse, the effects of which are said to last for up to six months.
The Sun and Moon oppose Saturn, implying that limits or obstacles you may encounter at this timing, and for the remaining thirty days of this second Virgo cycle, as well as your consciousness of their effect on your personal life, become important.

On the 22nd, Mars enters Scorpio and your third house of communications, neighbors, curiosity, and learning, and this may be an exciting time for you to get out and about. The weeks that follow could see you engaging, teaching, questioning, or navigating local areas with enthusiasm. Your affinity with siblings, close connections, your environment, and those in it could be a hot topic, although there is also to consider the square to Pluto during this Mars ingress, which may add transformational pressure to your understanding of healthy living, work or everyday habits.
The Libra Equinox arrives on the same day, as Sun enters Libra arriving there opposite Neptune, and forming another grand trine in Air with Uranus and Pluto. This brings the spotlight to your financial position and ways of making a living, with your input emphasized. You could find yourself very focused on your assets and core values, day-today environments, and your vocational path. Meanwhile, your collaborations and joint resources are in this picture too, and play into the contribution you make.
This is yet another intensely consequential month for you, Libra, just when you thought it must be getting better. The outer planets are closely aligned with each other, and with the luminaries in the recent VirgoNew Moon at 0° of the sign, so that you face inevitable conundrums and powerfully transformational currents that don’t let up at all throughout, from start to finish. Your twelfth house sector of dream imagination, unconscious process, and inner work is one major focus, with partnerships in your life another. In each case the good news is that there is quite a lot of growth going on, in between the confrontations and near-breakdowns. Because your intense internal process is so involved, it could be better to leave logic and rationality in reserve and let your intuition be your guide. It could be a good time as well to jot down what your dreams may be telling you, as you can discern this, perhaps leaving a journal and pencil near your bedtime table to record them as you wake. There are revelations to be had in plenty, as you have already likely been discovering through these difficult and illuminating summer months. Your beliefs and worldview are likely to be massively shifting, and your creative self-expression is in transition as a result. Personal and business relationships are calling for a new level of commitment, and one that is based more fully on spiritual realities in complement to the practical. Then too, your values, that are your bedrock in all of this, must, as you are perhaps also discovering, be based on your own internal principles to the exclusion of all else.

As you enter September in the wake of the recent VirgoNew Moon from last month, your focus is directed to your twelfth sector of unconscious, dream imagination, and inner work. This lunation cycle, that began with the VirgoNew Moon at 0° of the sign, runs for thirty days, through the first three weeks of September.

On the 2nd, communication planet Mercury enters Virgo, there to be co-present with the Sun. At this moment, Mercury is square Uranus and in aspect to Neptune and Pluto, so that intimate discussions about what’s combined, on loan, promised or invested could be intense, but also accommodating around what you want, which could be changing.
Also on the 2nd, Jupiter in Cancer and your sixth sector is simultaneously trine the North Node, indicating that you could be leaning into everyday routines, and growth in employment settings, with a conscious approach to your health and commitments, obligations, and what you contribute or manage.

On the 4th, your communication planet Mars, now in Libra and your ninth sector of higher mind, squares Jupiter. This could momentarily distract you from your general upkeep, a job, or positive practices that enhance your wellbeing, with another outlook introduced, so you may want to consider other opinions or perspectives, while sustaining your daily errands and schedule.

With the GeminiMoon, the luminaries both answer to Mercury. This may bring about a shift in your awareness of your creative plans and routes to happiness. An enjoyable project, date, or opportunity to let loose might appeal, and there could additionally be a call to deepen a bond or special alliance, with fun moments as you do so.
On the 15th, Venus in Leo and your seventh sector of relationships is sextile Mars, in your ninth sector of life philosophy, adventure and travel. Getting together with a significant other to pursue a quest for meaning and understanding could be important.
On September 17th, Mercury opposes Saturn, potentially bringing attention to your financial investments, shared space or outgoings, yet perhaps also imposing a pause in transactional affairs. There may be a unification you’re considering, yet limits around your resources, position or earnings that could stop next steps from being taken with a partner.
Then on the 18th, Mercury enters Libra, arriving opposite Neptune, and in the days that follow trines Uranus and Pluto forming a grand air trine, to be repeated at Fall Equinox, when the Sun enters Libra. Your happiness, special projects, talents, creativity, and love life could be showcased on a global platform, with a sense of pleasure derived, as you move through the world with something to say. You might note that general conversations or navigating could seem confusing, given the nebulous quality of Neptune, and perhaps another way of seeing the world could be unclear.
On the 19th, Venus enters Virgo, creating the same yod aspect with Pluto and Neptune, as Mercury on the 2nd, and the New Moon of August, again with a square to Uranus. You might find you’re more comfortable in committed relationships, cultivating secure attachments, sharing your space or family background as you become more intimately acquainted.
On the 21st, the second VirgoNew Moon lands at the last degree of the sign, which is also a partial solar eclipse and another powerful lunation. The Sun and Moon oppose Saturn, implying limits or obstacles may be encountered at this time around your resources, and conversely, what others have to offer becomes important. The Sun and Moon are also in a grand trine, though out of sign, with Uranus in Gemini or your sector of joy, artistry, games, love life and celebrations, and Pluto in your sign. This could reset your approach to working with others, as you acknowledge the practical input of a partner, welcoming a committed fresh start, also being realistic in your expectations of what a collaborator is able to give or come together on. Your material possessions, desires and input can be apparent too. A path of wisdom, adventure, or faith could inform this fresh start, with Mercury, ruler of this New Moon, nearby in your ninth house of philosophy, publishing, and knowledge, so you might consider what you want from your beliefs and worldview, trusting you can take a chance on others, and explore further.
On the 22nd, Mars enters Scorpio and your tenth house of career and vocation, and this may be a strong, exciting time for your professional advancement, or the pursuit of success that’s outwardly visible. The weeks that follow could see you thriving in publicly, leading – or meeting an ambition, praise or accolade. Your public image could be a hot topic, although there is also to consider the square to Pluto during this Mars ingress, which may add transformational pressure, perhaps as you consider your personal evolution, true identity, and what you represent and embody.
The Libra Equinox arrives on this day too, as Sun enters Libra arriving there opposite Neptune, and forming another grand trine in Air with Uranus and Pluto. This brings the spotlight to long-distance connections, with people further afield emphasized. You could find yourself very focused on those that are from somewhere different, and might flirt with destiny, opening your heart to someone unique, culturally, or philosophically outside of what’s known. Meanwhile, your ideas could play into a foreign point of view, with an openness to dissipating your own opinions in favor of another lens.
This is another transformational month, Pisces, with an emphasis on important partners in your life. The recent VirgoNew Moon at 0° of the sign, from a week before September began, shifted your focus to your important partnerships, while outer planet energies being closely aspected by Sun and Moon in the New Moon configuration are also highlighted in your twelfth house of dream imagination and unconscious process (Pluto) and your fourth house of home and family (Uranus). These have been fomenting revolutionary change all summer, so that you by now are learning to work with the inner dimensions of your experience while also giving necessary credit to the practical necessities as represented by Saturn together with Neptune, your ruler, in your second house of values and resources, including your financial ones. With money matters, there could be obstacles to smooth sailing as well as potential idealism or illusions, so that this in one area where you are being tested. In continuing to work on these factors of finance you are enjoined to step up to your highest standards of excellence in moral as well as forced expediency. Your own principles and values that come from deep inside you – pursued with diligence – will be the right choice in the end. You could easily continue to run into surprise evens and unexpected enlightenment on the home front, either with your dwelling space or else with familial arrangements, or perhaps concerning your family of origin. Intuition can play a huge role right now in helping to resolve these types of issues. The Full Moon eclipse in your sign that takes place on September 7th might bring some of these matters to a head, along with issues of self and other which are also likely to predominate.

The recent New Moon in Virgo from the last week of August has set the tone for September, bringing your focus to your seventh sector of relationships. This Virgo lunation cycle runs for thirty days though the first three weeks of September, and the chart of the recent New Moon features a powerful yod, or “Finger of God” aspect, underpinned by Pluto in Aquarius and your twelfth sector of dream imagination, unconscious process and inner work, and the conjunction of Saturn and your ruler Neptune in Aries, underscoring what you value, assets you can build on, or your earnings. This might be a timing this month when you turn over some kind of a new leaf, approaching a significant other in some different way, such as with greater tenderness, affection, or enthusiasm, or else some other development. Your finances, and imaginative inner processes could impact this fresh start, and you might also consider life under your roof, sudden changes at home, or controversy in your family dynamic, as Uranus is featured in a square to this lunation. It's also possible that some residue of inner wounding from childhood could be an integral part of what changes for you in terms of partnership considerations.

On the 2nd, Mercury enters Virgo, to be co-present with the Sun.

Upon its ingress, Mercury experiences the same yod configuration and square that featured at New Moon, with Pluto and Neptune, and Uranus once again making their mark.
On the 4th, your planet of earned income, Mars squares Jupiter. Now in Libra and your eighth sector of intimacy, pacts, contracts, and mergers, you may be motivated by a joint effort, entrusting what you have to another party, devoting resources to a mutual fund, or sharing what you have. Yet you might also find your plans and creative, happy moments are to be considered.
Uranus appears retrograde on the 6th, amplifying the importance of this planet and perhaps bringing surprise revelations around your residence, sense of place, or nurturing tendencies. During its station retrograde, Uranus is trine Pluto, and sextile Neptune, both retrograde.

The Full Moon that arrives on the 7th is a total lunar eclipse in your sign, which is trine Jupiter, and ruled by Neptune in sextile Uranus and Pluto.

This dynamic could be significant for your private arrangements and shared space, for processing changes at home, with your input also topical. With Neptune’s influence during this ingress, discussing sensitive topics, your personal reflections and negotiating might not be entirely straightforward. There may be confusion around what you give, and what you get, even blurred lines around reciprocation, negotiation, and stability.
On the 19th, Venus enters Virgo, creating the same yod aspect with Pluto and Neptune, as Mercury on the 2nd, and the New Moon of August, again with a square to Uranus. Connecting to a partner might be easier, as you're better equipped to relate and understand each other with friendly Venus potentially helping smooth out one-to-ones, after its initial brush up against Uranus.
On the 21st, the second VirgoNew Moon lands at the last degree of the sign, which is also a partial solar eclipse – so a powerful lunation. The Sun and Moon oppose Saturn, implying a formality and limits to what you can or are prepared to do, and the effect this has on intimate partnerships. You win when you approach relationships with fresh eyes, and the same enthusiasm as the previous New Moon, yet at this time you may sense more reverence for your place within your unions. Working with others could be a pronounced theme – collaborating in ways that are mutually beneficial, with the New Moon’s governing planetary body – Mercury – nearby in your intimate eighth house guiding this fresh start. Broaching discussions or topics that are usually taboo, and articulating your loyalties, expectations and vulnerabilities could be important.
On the 22nd, Mars enters Scorpio and your ninth house of higher mind, and this may be a strong, exciting time for broadening your outlook. The weeks that follow could see you expanding, cultivating knowledge, or directing your attention to visionary projects and long-distance connections. Around this planetary ingress, there is the possibility for frustration, as Mars combines tensely with Pluto. You could be ready to act on a truth-seeking quest, and yet it could perhaps be better to wait, watch and see.
The Libra Equinox arrives on the 22nd as well, as the Sun enters Libra arriving there opposite Neptune, and forming another grand trine in Air with Uranus and Pluto. This brings the focus to trusted agreements or contracts at work or at home, your shared values, and joint finances, but also subconscious patterns, hidden agendas, and your healing of inner wounds. Meanwhile, your solo contribution also counts for something important now, and plays into the support you require from another person.
