SEPTEMBER COSMIC FORECAST
Each month I like to look to the sky to see what the vibes are going to be and how I can prepare…
Will there be challenges in my love life?
When would be the best day for a haircut?
What should I focus on this week?
This month we are entering Eclipse Season (basically a time where shit goes down and major changes can and will happen). So obviously I wanted to share more about those and highlight any other important dates so we’ll know what energies are supporting us in living our most aligned life.
Before we get started, be sure to have my Guide to the Rising Signs handy so you can see what area of life (aka the “House”) each planet will be making an impact in for you specifically. As always, to get a more detailed understanding of how each transit could impact you based on your unique birth chart placements - please schedule a Cosmic Coaching Session with me! 💫
Let’s get into it!
SEPTEMBER 1 (SUNDAY)
Uranus Retrograde (Taurus)
From now until January 30, 2025, Uranus (the planet of unexpected change, individuality, and rebellion) will be going retrograde in Taurus. It's a time for inner awakening and personal revelations that can lead to personal revolutions. Since Uranus is at the very end of Taurus and will eventually enter Gemini in July 2025, we are really reflecting on all we’ve learned since Uranus entered this dependable Earth sign back in March 2018. What house does Taurus rule in your chart? What are you planning to shake up in this area of life?
Our progress may slow a bit while the planet is retrograde, but that’s ok - this time is giving us a chance to allow things to unfold naturally. Pay attention to your inner guidance as it will be especially strong now. Evaluate your relationship with transformation with change and turn inward to integrate recent breakthroughs, innovations, and boundary-breaking experiences.
Key themes:
Internal shifts in attitude or behavior to facilitate desired life changes.
Increased self-awareness and insights about disruptive or rebellious tendencies.
Opportunity to process and catch up with recent personal growth and evolution.
Reflection on one's true identity beyond societal expectations.
Pluto Retrograde goes into (Capricorn)
Reflect on what has taken place in your life since 2008. What has undergone a massive transformation over the last 16 years? Check your rising sign to know which area of life Capricorn rules for you.
That area of life is getting one last review before pluto officially moves into Aquarius. We’re turning inward to understand your relationship to power dynamics and authority (Capricorn). This period serves as a time to prepare for upcoming changes that will happen as Pluto moves into Aquarius on October 11th and will remain there for the next 20 years.
Key themes:
Personal restructuring
Shadow-work and introspection
Transformation of power structures (collectively)
Resistance to change
Karmic reckoning
Ending a major cycle and starting a new era (collectively, we will be entering a new era of Aquarius soon!)
SEPTEMBER 2 (MONDAY)
New Moon in Virgo
At 9:55pm EST
New moons occur when the moon and the sun join near the same point in the sky. Anytime the sun is involved in this kind of configuration with a planet, it’s there to revitalize and bring clarity around the themes of that celestial body. In the case of the moon, we are creating a new cycle when it comes to our internal world and emotions.
This particular refresh is happening in the part of the sky that is ruled by practical, detail-oriented, organized, and efficient Virgo. Leo season is over and this energy is helping us clean up our mess and where we’ve strayed from our focus, our rituals, and taking intentional action.
Reflect on the Virgo ruled area of your chart (house), this is where you might find that you spend the next 6 months getting re-organized, taking care of the details, and taking on responsibility in a grounded and strategic way. Set your intentions now to see how they grow, by the Full Moon in Pisces (partial lunar eclipse!!) this month you will likely begin to see progress on your manifestations. Not only that, but the Full Moon in Virgo that is linked to this New Moon in Virgo will be occurring on March 14, 2025 and will be a Lunar Eclipse! That is Major energy and it means that being very clear and genuine with your intentions and manifestations now will greatly support you in making the changes that you’re seeking.
Tarot Spread for this New Moon:
My theme for the New Moon in Virgo
What do I need to re-organize?
What am I healing?
What can I expect at the Full Moon Eclipse in Virgo on March 14, 2025?
(Bonus) What am I start a new cycle around in my Virgo ruled house?
SEPTEMBER 4 (WEDNESDAY)
Mars (Cancer) until November 3
Mars, the planet of passion, motivation, desire, & conflict, will be moving into nurturing, intuitive, and sensitive Cancer.
Keep in mind that Mars was recently in Gemini for about 2 months - so we were more motivated to socialize, share ideas, multitask, and get curious to learn new topics. Now that it’s moving into Cancer, our motivations will be coming from our emotions, sense of security, loved ones, home. Mars is considered to be in it’s “fall” in this sign so the qualities this planet are a little uncomfortable with the qualities of this sign. This might mean that we, and others around us, may be more sensitive and moody than usual.
Depending on what house Cancer rules in your birth chart, this is where you will see increased action and movement over the next couple of months.
Mars will also be going retrograde in December 2024 which only happens every 2 years, meaning Mars will go back into Cancer and essentially be staying in this sign for a longer period than usual.
Key Themes:
Motivated by emotions
Protecting & focus on home, family, loved ones
Cautious and calculated actions
Increased emotional sensitivity
Internal conflict between action (mars) and security (cancer)
SEPTEMBER 8 (SUNDAY)
Mercury Enters (Virgo)
Mercury is in it’s domicile in Virgo.
Meaning: this planet is in the sign that it rules, meaning that mercury feels at home in Virgo…. and also Gemini, but today Mercury will be in Virgo.
Mercury is the planet of communication, thought process, ideas, and connections. When it is in Virgo - we are analytical, efficient, helpful, and maybe a lil critical at times. You may remember that Mercury actually made a quick appearance in the sign of Virgo at the beginning of August before it retrograded back into Leo.
Think back to the end of July, early August what were you reassessing, reanalyzing, revisiting? Now that Mercury is moving direct, you may notice more clarity and are able to make decisions on those themes from before.
Key themes:
Mental clarity & focus
Practicalities and efficiencies
Health, wellness, & healing
Processing information
Being mindful of critical communication or perfectionistic tendencies
SEPTEMBER 11 (WEDNESDAY)
First Quarter Moon (Sagittarius)
First Quarter Moons happen once a month and are a time where the Sun is making a square aspect to the Moon. The Sun will be in Virgo a sign that is all about practicality, wellness, and personal development through the lens of change & adaptability. The Moon will be in Sagittarius a sign that is also about change/adaptability, but will be more focused on expansion, adventure, and having faith in the Universe. Your ego (sun) wants you to be in control and figure out all the details (Virgo), while your emotions (moon) wants you to trust and have faith life will unfold in divine timing (Sagittarius). This tension serves a purpose.
First Quarter Moons in general are a great time for:
Decision-making and overcoming challenges
Refining goals and making adjustments
Taking decisive action on intentions
Key themes:
Increased optimism & enthusiasm
Confidence & inspiration
Balancing expansion & groundedness
Getting curious & learning
Spirituality
Managing expectations
SEPTEMBER 17 (TUESDAY)
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse (Pisces)
At 10:34pm EST
We are officially in Eclipse season baby! You may recall that May 25th of this year we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in Libra (i.e. a Full Moon) and on April 8th a Solar Eclipse in Aries (i.e. a New Moon). Reflect back on what was going on in your life during those time periods - you may be surprised at how perfectly it syncs up with the Aries and Libra ruled house themes in your birth chart.
Eclipses occur in a series of 2 opposite signs over the course of about 2 years, and always occur near the nodes. We currently have the North Node in Aries (we’re heading towards independence) and the South Node in Libra (we’re moving away from codependence). We’re beginning to close out this series of eclipses in Aries/Libra that began April 2023. What has changed for you since then? The last Solar Eclipse in Libra will happen in October….. see more details on that at the bottom of this page.
The nodes will be shifting into the Pisces/Virgo axis soon, so we’re now experiencing our first round of eclipses in these 2 signs! Expect major shifts in these 2 areas of your life over the next few years! Since the eclipse in Pisces is the first in a sign set, this September eclipse can serve as the initial prompt or push to make improvements in Virgo- and Pisces-ruled areas of life in our charts. We will no longer feel content with going along with how things have always been.
Ok so this Lunar Eclipse in Pisces……
What were you calling into your life and what seeds were you planting around March 10, 2024? That is when we experienced the New Moon in Pisces, and now 6 months later, we are seeing something come to fruition under this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse under the same sign.
It’s helpful to know that this Moon in Pisces will be conjunct Neptune as well…. magnifying the hazy, ethereal, idealistic and spiritual feel. We might feel even more intuitive than usual. We have the moon also making a tense aspect to Jupiter in Gemini, signifying that we are feeling pressure or an eagerness to expand and grow, but may need to get more of our ducks in a row before this can happen. Luckily, the moon will also make a supportive aspect to Uranus in Taurus, providing support for the innovative changes we’re either pursuing or the changes that are foisted upon us because ….. well eclipses are known for being wildcard energy.
Key themes:
Greater awareness into your emotions and what you feel is missing in your life
Balancing our need for order, wellness, and routines (Virgo) with our need for spirituality, creativity, and infinite possibilities (Pisces)
Unexpected changes, shifts, endings (keep in mind that endings inherently mean beginnings as well)
Sudden epiphanies & ah-ha moments
Catalyst for action and transformation
Tapping into our spiritual side
Note: it’s likely than any revelations you have during this time have been brewing inside for a while, but the Sun is quite literally shining a light onto your emotions for greater awareness. Give yourself time to sit with your intuition and emotions as you navigate the eclipse portal.
SEPTEMBER 22 (SUNDAY)
Sun enters Libra (Fall Equinox / Mabon)
Happy Birthday sweet, sweet Libras!
This cute cardinal sign is helping us begin a whole new season: Autumn 🍂
When the Sun is in Libra, we are seeking harmony, equality, justice, collaborations, relationships, art, aesthetics, & social events. This is a great time to spend time with friends, engaging in activities that allow for creativity, beauty, and simply enjoying each others company. Over the next month, we may feel more charismatic and charming. Take note: the Sun in Libra will also shine a light onto the Libra ruled house of your chart.
Key themes:
Diplomacy, Balance, Harmony
Creativity, Art, Aesthetics
Indecisiveness
Collaborations
Social events
Venus enters Scorpio
Venus, the planet of love, relationships, values, & money, is moving into deep and intense Scorpio for the next month or so. Venus is in it’s detriment in Scorpio, meaning it’s hard for sweet lil Venus to fully express itself in this sign. That being said - who’s to say Venus can’t be in her sexy villain era in this sign??
When Venus is in Scorpio, we can expect to crave a new level of depth and intimacy when it comes to our relationships. Anything surface level just will not cut it anymore. We’re able to see through any bullshit and are more wary of trusting others. Our relationships may be a catalyst for our own transformation and deep healing process. We and others may feel more mysterious and seductive around this time. We’re tuned in to what we value in terms of relationships and money and can transform to be in alignment.
Key themes:
Emotional intensity in relationships
All-or-nothing in relationships
Guarded emotions
Loyalty & possessiveness
Depth in love & finances
Transformation
Heightened Intuition
SEPTEMBER 24 (TUESDAY)
Last Quarter Cancer
At 10:50am EST
We are clearing out what is no longer supporting us in the Cancer ruled house of our charts. What are we clinging on too tightly because we think it will soothe our emotions? How can we focus on letting go and giving ourselves the care we so desperately want someone else to give to us?
Last Quarter Moons in general are a great time for:
Forgiveness and letting go
Release of what no longer serves you
Clearing space for new beginnings
Key themes:
Reflection on relationships (specifically mother, women, family)
Introspection and processing emotions
Creating harmony within connections
Self-care and vulnerable communication
SEPTEMBER 26 (THURSDAY)
Mercury enters (Libra )
When Mercury is in Libra - we tend to be more charming, collaborative with our creativity, and are able to see multiple sides to any situation. For the most part, we are able to see eye-to-eye with our loved ones, co-workers, and even strangers due to Libra’s diplomatic nature. It’s possible you will be thinking more about the Libra ruled house of your chart over the next month while Mercury is in this sign.
Key themes:
Collaborating creatively
Diplomatic conversations
Charismatic communications
Watch out for Indecisiveness & People pleasing
SEPTEMBER 30 (MONDAY)
Sun (Libra) Conjunct Mercury (Libra)
AKA: Cazimi
When the Sun links up with Mercury in Libra, our thought processes, ideas, and communication skills will be refreshed and renewed. We may receive important insights and ideas around this time, especially related to the Libra ruled house of your chart. We’re striving for harmony, aesthetics, balance, and justice. With these 2 planets making aspects to Pluto and the South Node - it is adding more intensity and depth to any insights we receive during this time.
Key themes:
Potential for creative breakthroughs
Deeper understanding of relationships and communication patterns
Insights into balancing opposing viewpoints or resolving conflicts
Having conversations that you’ve avoided
SPECIAL MENTION ⚠️⚡️💥
OCTOBER 2 (WEDNESDAY)
