September Monthly Horoscope: Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice!

It's Fall! Time for back to school and pumpkin spice everything!

The month ahead is filled with intensity. Saturn will re-enter the sign of Pisces, Uranus will turn retrograde in Gemini, and of course we have the second set of fated events from the full moon Lunar Eclipse and the new moon Solar eclipse in Virgo at 29 degrees. Expect some powerful and at times, dramatic shifts and endings. Let's break it all down day by day.

If you want even more details about the month ahead be sure to tune in each week for my Astrology lesson on my channel here.

September 1st - Rabbit Rabbit!! Happy Labor Day! Let's set the intentions for some good luck in the week's ahead. With a fiery grand trine in the fire signs it's likely the month starts off with a big bang. Mercury in Leo, the Moon in Sag, and Chiron retrograde in Aries are providing you with an opportunity to get something moving, including ourselves. Its especially a good time to do some healing work from within. Do it quickly because Mercury is about to finish its time up in the sign of Leo and head into Virgo where we start to slow things down a bit. Jupiter in Cancer is still working on those fated blessings that began last month with the Nodes of fate and destiny. And we still have the mini power triangle of support between Neptune, Saturn, Pluto and Uranus. We have a lot of momentum on our side, show up and do the work, you will be really glad you did. But we also have some things from the past we need to wrap up or take a closer look at. Saturn steps back into the sign of Pisces for a final review. Are you holding firm to those boundaries? Are you staying committed to reality? Saturn was last here in May, what was showing up for you then? Get ready to do it all over again, hopefully even better this time.

September 2nd - Mercury has just entered into its second home, Virgo, and as it does it's having some words with Uranus who happens to be in Mercury's other home Gemini. This can be some volatile energy for travel, so be careful. It can also create some war of words. But you might also suddenly realize the truth about something that you swore you were right about and suddenly change your mind. It's likely to feel a bit crazy making.

September 4th - Jupiter is getting ready to move on from its positive connection with the North and South Node. Have you learned the lessons of the past and are you now ready to grow and move forward? Mars in Libra starts to square with Jupiter while quincunx to the North Node in Pisces. That means there may be a big announcement in the next few days involving relationships, specifically break ups. It is meant to be, so don't get hung up in the shoulda, woulda, coulda's.

September 6th - Uranus has been giving us a brief preview of what the years ahead may look like with this planet of the unexpected in the sign of Gemini. Now it's time to slow things down. And when the planet associate with lighting slows down the weather and air around us can get electrified. Be sure you stay grounded! Otherwise you might get struck by lightning. Now of course you could be like Newton when the apple hit his head and he discovered gravity, but still stay safe and aware of your surroundings. You have until November 7th to do the Gemini review, then it's back to Taurus through the end of the year. Then in 2026 Uranus will stay in Gemini until 2033.

September 7th - the first of our eclipse events is the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Pisces at 15 degrees. Any planets you have in your chart at that degree may help you experience some type of emotional release and closure. Its was the 2006 cycle of eclipses that you last saw this type of work cross your path. The overall energy is pretty positive. The Lunar eclipse of course is about fated closure. The Moon though is conjunct to the North Node in Pisces, so what you release will open a new door for you. One that lets you explore your creative side, your spiritual side, and your emotions, all in a healthy way. Across the sky will be the Sun, the South Node, and Mercury in Virgo. There as usual is a need for balance. The past is your greatest teacher. Controlling every outcome, every detail, will no longer serve you. It's time to let go and have faith. Jupiter in it's happy place of the sign of Cancer, and co-ruler with Neptune for this full moon, speaks positively with the lunar eclipse and the nodes. Jupiter expands on whatever it touches so expect some kind of grand finale, but for the greater good. With Venus in Leo and inconjunct the North Node and the Moon there is definitely some drama from the past coming up to be completed. The houses impacted by this work will be covered in detail for each sign here.

September 10th - the Sun moves into an exact conjunction with the South Node in Virgo to highlight what needs to be released for good. No more excuses. All the facts and details have been highlighted so you can no longer ignore them.

September 11th - let's all pause to remember the victims of 9-11. The Sun as it moves just past the nodes meets up with Jupiter in Cancer, there could be some positive outcome today, a remembrance that warms our hearts. Whatever houses you have the Sun in Virgo and Jupiter in Cancer, they are making a sextile and offering you some kind of blessing or good luck. The connection to the South and North Node are continuing to activate that Lunar Eclipse energy. The emotional need for closure is heightened.

September 13th - it's been several months since we had Mercury and the Sun Cazimi, but here we are again. This can be a breakthrough in your healing journey, a major aha moment of some kind. Or a very stress filled day. It all depends on how you feel with the Sun shining a light on your every thought. Give your mind something to work on like puzzles if this energy stresses you out. But some type of secret detail is about to be revealed.

September 14th - Neptune is dipping back onto the 0 degree point of Aries. This energy gives you a chance to go back and make some tweaks so you can eventually start again. If your dream for yourself hasn't quite been lining up, now you have a chance to reimagine and rework your dream. Saturn is going to move off it's intense 29 degree point of review, maybe lessening the intensity just a bit.

September 16th - Mars in Libra may have been heating up your relationship sector, or your justice sector. Now it gets a little help from Venus in Leo. We may see someone who comes in to your life that heats things up. But they may also trigger your abandonment issues, in a way that will lead you to want to heal them, this time for good. This is because of the struggle between Mars and Chiron, in opposition to one another it's a battle of what's best for you and what's best for your partner. Answer as usual is find a way to meet in the middle. Otherwise old arguments may escalate today.

September 17th - Mercury delivered its message to the Sun and now its having a tense conversation with Saturn in the sign of Pisces. This is a preview of what the Sun expects when it faces off with Saturn in a few days. This is the warm up argument, best make sure you have your facts straight before you try and challenge Saturn. Saturn has a very long memory and he will call you out if you try and massage the truth.

September 18th - Mercury moves into the sign of Libra after its stand off with Saturn. Communication in relationships, agreements that are fair and balanced become our focus for the next several weeks. If you have some kind of contract that you are trying to finalize and get both sides to agree on, now is the time to push it across the finish line. Especially since Mercury is forming a grand air trine with Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini. There is a lot of creative solutions coming out of this energy. Especially with the mini triangle of power still in place with Neptune and Saturn in Pisces. This is a big energy day with the Sun inconjunct to Chiron in Aries and Venus at the last degree of Leo. Leaders in particular may be scrambling to cover up the past.

September 19th - Venus moves into the sign of Virgo, where she isn't a big fan of having to pay attention to all the facts and details. Being healthy, ugghh. Plus this earthy Virgo energy is just too healthy and neat, nothing like the indulgent Taurus energy. But for the next 3 weeks you can help give your body a beauty makeover. Don't do anything too drastic though. Venus is speaking at an odd angle to Neptune in Aries, so things might not turn out as expected. The Moon joins Venus in Virgo, so trust your intuition before you make any big moves.

September 20th - as we prepare for the new moon solar eclipse, Venus in Virgo is part of a YOD with Neptune in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius. This YOD has already been activated by the Sun and Mercury as they first entered into the sign of Virgo. This is the last 'mission' our last chance to get this work done. Venus is a woman who wants control over herself, her body, her health. Pluto and Neptune, in a sextile and forming the base of the YOD, are leaders and groups together to help you succeed. Your mission is to take back control. A woman might really shock us with how she does this as Venus is also in a square to Uranus in Gemini. This could change everything.

September 21st - an eclipse means there is something we need to let go of in order to have a fresh start. As the Sun is in darkness we can let our ego attachments go. In the sign of Virgo we had a new moon last month at zero degrees of the sign, a complete reset. Now a chapter of that reset is already coming to a close. This eclipse is happening at 29 degrees of Virgo, what we call a critical or crisis degree. The energy of this eclipse is already about a fight for control, and now the fighting gets even more intense. We have so much energetically going on at this time. We have a kite formation, a mini triangle, a YOD, and an eclipse! This is going to be something we talk about for a long time. This is a South Node eclipse, only a partial eclipse, but there is something collectively that we are letting go. Mercury the eclipse ruler is in Libra, balance will be restored when whatever this is has been released. Check where you have planets at 29 degrees in your chart, Virgo and Pisces especially! Those planets are getting a serious infusion of energy. Much more on these aspects in the full write up, here, including a break down for each sign.

September 22nd - Mars' mission continues as it moves into the sign of Scorpio, where it is very happy. It continues to be aided in strange ways by Uranus in Gemini, information that comes up suddenly, and Neptune in Aries, a person that gives you the information. Scorpio is about a rebirth of some kind. Wherever you have this 0 degrees in Scorpio in your chart expect some serious intensity and a surge in energy. Plus today is the first day of the Sun in the sign of Libra. The Sun for the next month shines a light on Justice and on our relationships being more healthy and balanced. This is also the first day of Fall, the Equinox means we have equal parts day and night, they become much shorter in the northern hemisphere from here on out. This is a time for balance and reflection. The fall, like an eclipse, is when we let things go that have served their purpose. Those things will then be reborn again in the spring. An affirmation to connect to the energy on this day, "I honor the balance within and around me. I release what is no longer mine and welcome the gifts of this season with gratitude and grace."

September 23rd - With the outer planets Pluto, Uranus and Neptune still sitting at the early degrees of Aquarius, Gemini and Aries we keep having a YOD whenever a planet changes signs, like Mars is now as it enters into the sign of Scorpio. Mars is what motivates us. It requires action. The base of the YOD, Uranus and Neptune this time are inspiring us to take a new approach in our lives. It's time to figure out what you want to transform and get going on that plan.

September 24th - remember that intensity? Well it just stepped up a notch as Mars is now squaring with Pluto in Aquarius, while still doing that YOD work. Mars is in Pluto's domain, this is a power struggle of some sort. This is dangerous energy, so make sure you don't do anything too risky. Accidents are possible! Especially with Uranus still inconjunct to Mars as well. There is hope however. The Sun in the sign of Libra is making a grand air trine with that same Uranus and Pluto energy. It's the light of the Sun that has the solution you need to this conflict. This is something that will restore balance, and be fair for everyone involved. The kite formation that has been in place since the eclipse is now highlighted by the Sun in Libra, it's time to get this big opportunity off the ground. Is peace finally possible?

September 28th - Mercury in Libra makes an odd connection to the North Node in Pisces. Your plan for the future might be upended by your partner. But any contact with the nodes brings us lessons we need to learn, so be sure and detach and observe what is motivating their change in behavior. Some public partnerships may struggle now because of the information that is revealed.

October Preview - A needed change is in the air as the month kicks off with Jupiter in Cancer in a square to Mercury in Libra. The full moon will happen in the sign of Aries on the 6th, with that same YOD Mars had, now being handed to Mercury. The new moon happens in Libra on the 21st. Pluto will end it's retrograde in Aquarius mid month, right about the time Venus gives you a gentle nudge as she crosses the solar eclipse point. Neptune ends its time in Aries on the 22nd. Be sure to come back next month for all the details.
