SEPTEMBER IS CALLING FOR A SLOW DOWN AND A KARMIC CLEAN-UP….

September starts with a bang as Pluto re-enters Capricorn (for the last time), Uranus stations retrograde and there is a New Moon. This first week is one to slow all the way down, and just accept that the plans you have might not marry what the universe has in store for you. The middle of the month is calling for you to step into new energy around personal boundaries (as Medusa meets the Sun), you can find that the perfect situation to express these manifests around the 13-15th. Eclipse Season starts on the 17th/18th with a Pisces Full Moon calling for ancestral healing and awakening to deeper spiritual connection. As the Sun moves into Libra with the Equinox on the 22nd, you can find that there is a deep longing for balance, for resolution of conflict and a desire for peace (as you see both sides of the story).

HERE’S WHAT’S IN STORE FOR YOUR SIGN. READY BY YOUR ASCENDANT (IF YOU KNOW IT) OR SUN SIGN IF YOU’RE UNSURE…

Aries: March 21 – April 19

The big focus for you this month is on your wellbeing. It’s time to give yourself the energy you readily give to others. That can mean taking a break or being a little more discipline in your self-care. If you need help with doing this, use the Virgo New Moon on the 2nd-3rd to support you in shifting your routine to better support yourself. This is a month to be very careful with your intuition, although it is generally spot on, be careful with actions you take until the 19th as you can find that your moving from a place of not seeing the full picture (even drawing conclusions that aren’t necessarily true). This can, for some, manifest as a time where there can be confusion in how to move forward - so if you can wait until after the 20th to do so. You’ll notice that you usual inner fire can feel a little damp from the 5th as Mars enters Cancer. This is a time calling for you to move in time with nature (not with the ego). So if things start to slow down, or speed up don’t try to control but simply practice allowing. Finally, Eclipse Season will start on the 17th/18th of this month and take you through to early October. During this time it can feel like time is speeding up, and karma is clearing up. The Pisces Lunar Eclipse which will kick this off and can see you getting really clear about endings - answering the question ‘what you are ready to let go of?’ - physically, mentally and spiritually. It can feel like you are releasing some serious baggage (if you’re ready to unclench those hands and give it back to the universe)

 

Taurus: April 20 – May 20

This a month teaching you the importance of giving as well as receiving (without feeling guilty or like you need to keep tabs). It’s also a time to dive into the world of soul contracts, working through energy around what you believe is ‘fair’. You can find there is karma to burn (as well as soul gifts to access) with business partners and lovers up until the 13th. Underpinning all of this (until the 15th) there can be a deep longing for greater freedom as well as a desire for truth in these relationships…which feels slightly out of character for you – even a need to totally rebel against the ‘rules’. Note that from the 9th until the 25th you can find yourself feeling a little more sensitive to the world and easily feeling that inner abandonment wounding coming to the surface in the process. So remember during this time to question your thoughts, and give yourself the space to understand this wounding instead of blaming it on something in the external world. In and amongst all of this relationship energy, the 19th is a very lucky day for you, giving you the ability to understand love in a new way and grasping it’s unconditional + spiritual dimensions. This month also marks the start of Eclipse Season, the first of which will be on the 17th-18th, which can bring radical changes to friendships, social groups and any work you do within larger organisations (particularly if there is a humanitarian focus). Finally, your ruling planet, Venus, will slip into Virgo on the 24th, which can have you feeling a whole lot more grounded, organised and even playful as the month closes.

 

Gemini: May 21 – June 20

The start of September can bring to the fore important conversations around your home (particularly if you are doing any work on your place, wanting to redecorate or move) – this can even extend to  personal conversations with family (particularly maternal figures). You can find that this is a time to get creative, share your light and even take the lead in these ‘home life’ discussions particularly up until the 10th. That all said, if you need a little cosmic help around your home or with family use the New Moon on the 2/3rd to ask for guidance, as it is here to help you work through detail and think with greater clarity. As your ruling planet, Mercury, will be in tension with Uranus until the 15th notice where you are resisting change, progression and even putting off endings (which have the potential to actually create a big new start). You can find that there is a little (necessary) tension within your household from the 9th – 27th, as you are being called to ground yourself in reality, to embrace detail (you normally avoid) and even put on a more rational hat in how you approach life. This is a time that can stir up some anxiety, if this is the case take note of which situations trigger this and see that this is a part of life where there is something that is not quite aligned. Within this period, Eclipse Season will start with a Pisces Lunar Eclipse on the 17-18th, which will be washing through your career, and responsibilities. This is a time to surrender and allow the universe to cleanse old patriarchal energy which is ‘ruling’ your life and is no longer in resonance with your being. You can find on the 25th it’s time for you to be a little clearer with your boundaries, and to really honour what is a ‘yes’ and what is a ‘no’ for you (without feeling guilty about this). The month finishes with your ruler, Mercury, entering Libra on the 27th and calling for you to move into a season of deep and meaningful conversations + connections.

 

Cancer: June 21 – July 22

Virgo Season is calling for you to speak up, to organise your thinking and ground your emotions – which can feel a little uncomfortable. You can find that although your mind feels a lot clearer, you can fall into the habit of over-explaining yourself and even feeling a little exposed (which might be your least favourite emotion). The Virgo New Moon on the 2-3rd, is here to help you over come this and this lunar force can even have you getting clearer on boundaries with siblings and close friends (instead of shutting them out when you’re upset). This is a Moon calling for you to listen to your body, and hear that ‘holy yeses’ or ‘nos’ – and courageously follow that internal guidance. The 7th – 9th brings with it a sense of ease, harmony and deep intuition where any lies or mistruths that have been told to you earlier in the month can come to the surface to be seen or explained. This month also marks the start of Eclipse Season, which is a time of immense purification and alignment for you. The first Eclipse will be in Pisces on the 17th – 18th and it is expansive, abundant and it’s calling for you to open up to the possibilities of life…which sounds both optimistic and a little scary to the part of you that likes to control the future. You’ll notice the energy of this Eclipse Season feel a little more at manageable around the 24th – 26th, as you are briefly back in energy that is familiar and homely. Use this time to reconnect with yourself + check-in with what you need as Eclipse Season will continue until the 2-3rd next month.  

 

Leo: July 23 – August 22

Money, possessions and self-worth are the big topics for the start of this month. You can find that there is some uncomfortable energy you’re being called to process around this topic - be that standing up for your sense of worth, or needing to reorganise your finances (where you would normally wing it). If you need a little help digesting this energy, use the New Moon on the 2-3rd to support you. You can find that on the back of this Moon there is a call to get a little stronger with your personal boundaries, and potentially communicate to those who have borrowed something from you that it’s time for it to be returned or paid back. If you don’t address this issue of boundaries (or the timing feels off), you can find that it gets brought up again around the 14th.  The 17th-18th bring with it the Pisces Lunar Eclipse (which starts a season of karmic purification that will last until the 2-3rd). This is an eclipse that has the potential to be deeply transformational in your life, and to help you work through old ancestral energy around money – and how it has been used to control + manipulate yourself or others. This Eclipse is helping you to step into a cleaner relationship with yourself by accessing your shadow. You can find yourself feeling constricted and constrained around the 18th-19th, as responsibilities and karmic energy you have been putting off need to finally be dealt with. The key to working with this is surrendering (even if that feels counter intuitive) - don’t push against the restriction it will only make it tighter. As the Sun moves into Libra with the Equinox on the 22nd, things get a little lighter and you can breathe a sigh of relief. This is a season dedicated to deep and meaningful conversations, to letting people close to you know how much they mean to you and saying I love you to someone special, as well as yourself. Finally the 25th represents an incredibly spiritual day in your chart, where you can find the next step in your journey becomes apparent (particularly if you feel as though you are at a crossroads) – this will take you even further away from convention and the expectations others have of you (for the better).

 

Virgo: August 23 – September 22

Happy Birthday Season. This is a time to feel that sense of rebirth and inner renewal as you welcome in another year. If you haven’t laid intentions yet for the coming year (and the energy you wish to cultivate) the Virgo New Moon on the 2-3rd offers the perfect opportunity to do this. This is a particularly auspicious Moon for you calling for you to consider where you need to create more space in your life to bloom and that can manifest as considering what boundaries you need to put in place to create those conditions. As your ruling planet, Mercury, will be in tension with Uranus until the 15th don’t be surprised if you feel like opportunities and efforts you are making towards the next chapter in your life aren’t yet paying off. Use this transit to attend to where you might be holding yourself back or needing all the information before you make a decision – and in the process slowing things down. That all said, the cosmic energy from the 9th – 27th has you feeling at home with a clear head, a sense of purpose and even a little more excitement for the future. You can use this time to get clear on how you want to serve the world, the direction you wish your life to head and even what you want to shift in your daily routine to support this - just try your best not to overthink it! Eclipse Season starts on the 17th-18th with a Pisces Full Moon. This is drawing your attention to soul contracts and helping you to shift old ancestral energy which has you feeling like things are unfair, and inequitable within your work or intimate relationships. You can find that personal and even physical boundaries are highlighted on the 25th, so be prepared to speak up with compassion instead of people pleasing or closing yourself off from the world to not deal with it. Finally, the energy will shift dramatically for you on the 27th as Mercury enters Libra (joining the Sun), pushing your focus onto your personal values and how you value yourself in relationships. You can find that this is a time for love, connection and deepening intimacy.

Libra: September 23 – October 22

Relationships, intimacy and self-love are the flavour of September until the 23rd. It’s time for you to feel at home in deep and meaningful conversations, being able to see both sides of an argument, calling upon your natural understanding for what is fair as well as enjoying the beauty + romance of life. This is a time which is refuelling you, and giving you the strength to remember who you are (which can feel particularly important if there is a part of you that has been feeling run down or a little lost). The Virgo New Moon on the 2-3rd is helping you get clear on what you need to let go of in your daily life, as well as inviting you to step a little deeper into your spiritual connection (if you need a little help in doing this, use this Moon to lay intentions around this change). You can find that there is a sense of déjà vu, as this is also a Month (until the 13th) where you are being called to get aware of the past life karma you hold with current life partners (business and intimate). You can find there an uncanny sense of repetition or even flash backs to these previous lives which can be accessed at this time. Don’t be surprised if underneath all of this there is a longing for a little more freedom in your business + love life, and even to totally rebel against the expectations of others (this will be really strong until the 15th). Just be careful that this desire isn’t coming from your inner wounding being stirred up which can manifest as a fear of intimacy, being abandoned or hurt, as you can find the cosmos playing this out until the 25th. September also marks the start of Eclipse Season (which will last until the 2-3rd of next month). This will start with the Pisces Lunar Eclipse on the 17th/18th which can see you working through old health concerns, and even being called to rethink how you care for your wellbeing within your current routine. Pay special attention if you’re burning the candle at both ends, as this is a lunar force that can call you to slow all the way down (and even stop you if you resist it). The 19th is a very special day for you, and you can find that the cosmos helps you get a greater glimpse at the love that lives within – supporting you to realise that this is the source of all love (not a relationship or another being). Finally, your ruling planet Venus will move into Scorpio on the 23-24th until the end of the month, marking a time which is calling for you to focus on finances, self-worth and what you value – this is an energy that can take you deep within yourself to recognise more of your own power, as well as clean up any place you might be manipulating or controlling yourself or others (consciously or unconsciously)

Scorpio: October 23 – November 21

This month hits different, as your ruling planet Pluto moves back into Capricorn on the 1st-2nd. This can have you feeling like you’re back working through energy that was present in January – February earlier this year. It can feel a little like a do-over; a chance to shift and let go of old rules, restrictions and structure that is simply not serving you…to the point where it is holding you back from implementing the radical, authentic ideas you are ready to serve the world with. Most of this month there is a big focus on your friendships, social groups and even existentially on your role within society (you can find that what you are being called to learn about structure plays out here). If you’re looking to change things up in this area of your life use the Virgo New Moon on the 2-3rd to guide your intentions. You can find that some of the turbulence of this month starts to make sense around the 7th-9th as the universe gives you clarity on your life’s direction or at least the next step forward. From the 12th until the end of the month things start to move with greater ease than they have in a long time, as you’re able to grasp the transformation the cosmos has been calling you into. This will only get stronger from the 20th when you can receive important (even life changing) news or be ready to talk about the shifts you wish to make in your life with friends or work colleges. Just note some of this can impact your relationships (business or intimate) particularly if they are out of alignment with the change that is coming – you’ll know exactly what this is about between the 15th until the end of the month. Finally, September marks the start of Eclipse Season which kicks off on the 17th-18th with a Pisces Full Moon.  This is bringing to the surface energy from your childhood, the relationship with your children (if you have them) + even the ways you hold back from fully expressing yourself (know that there are ancestral origins to this). It’s time to embrace more of your creativity and childlike joy.

Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21

Sagittarius, your calling in life is to always see the brighter side, to hold optimism and hope for what is to come…but at the moment it can feel like the universe is really testing you. It’s as if your hope and desire for freedom is being met with the heavy hand of responsibility. This is a month where you are being called to find balance between the two and keep your head up (focused on the greatest outcome) even if it feels like the universe isn’t supporting you. It is, it’s just not obvious yet. Most of this month there is a big focus on your work (and you can find that what you are being called to learn about structure plays out here). If you’re looking to change things up (move company, role or expand what you’re doing) use the Virgo New Moon on the 2-3rd to lay your intentions. If you know there are important conversations to be had (particularly if that’s apparent on the back of the New Moon) try to do it before the 10th, as from this time until the 27th you can find it a little harder than normal to speak up, to communicate your point effectively and even to see the opportunity in what the world is presenting to you. Don’t worry because in and amongst this, life will get a whole lot lighter from the 23rd, when it can feel like energy is moving again, and even if you can’t openly speak about it until after the 27th, things will start to be more optimistic and fun. Added to that Venus is working overtime with your ruling planet, Jupiter, from the 6th until the 24th so matters with money, possessions and relationships have a way of working out better than expected (even if the mind seems to be telling a different story). Finally, September brings with it the first of 2 eclipses. This will be a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on the 17th-18th which is stirring up energy around your home, your maternal lineage and your personal life. There is a lot of ancestral patterns + programming that are being called to be witnessed and healed at this time (even encountering some of your inner ‘mother wound’). The medicine is surrendering to the energy and working with it (not pushing against it).  

Capricorn: December 22 – January 19

This is a month of intense transformation (not as big as the one you have been through to put it in perspective), which you’ll really feel on the 1-2nd when Pluto moves back into your sign (for the last time). This marks a period for you to check-in, and have the opportunity let go of any responsibly that you’ve been carrying that is hindering your full + authentic expression. It’s time to be honest with yourself and get comfortable with releasing structure + order that you have used to keep yourself safe…and also at times play small by not leaving it’s comfort. This is process that doesn’t have to be rushed, so as you feel the waves of tension rise (particularly until the 18-19th) do your best to surrender to it (knowing it is working for your highest good). This is the external pressure that will ultimately lead you to deep inner peace. If you need some extra cosmic support in shifting this energy use the Virgo New Moon on the 2-3rd to help you. You’ll notice from the 6th – 24th that the universe calls for you to receive important karmic news and to slow down your need to respond straight away. This is also a period teaching you the importance of letting others take responsibility for themselves, which means exercising trust in their decision making (even if it doesn’t match yours). September also marks the start of Eclipse Season, a period of karmic alignment which will last until the 2-3rd of October. The first of these two eclipses will start on the 17th-18th in Pisces which is calling for you to step into more of your intuition, as well as let go of old ancestral patterns of doubt in listening to this internal compass. Even in the intensity of this month, you’ll notice the energy start to move from the 27th when both Venus and Mars are in harmony with your ruling planet, Saturn. This can feel as though you are finally drawing to you what you need (money, resources, time etc), as well as moving from a place of creating more solid foundations for your life (that aren’t quite as constricting).

 

Aquarius: January 20 – February 18

It’s time to slow all the way down, as your ruler Uranus stations retrograde from the 2nd. Think of this as a time to refuel yourself so that you have the energy to keep rebelling, innovating and pushing the world forward. Everyone needs a breather – plus, this life is not a sprint. It needs you to show up in your own unique way whilst embracing the seasons of energy that run through you, sometimes it’s time to accelerate and other times (like now) to put on the breaks.. You can find that there is some resistance to this slow down as Kali (the asteroid) will be opposing your ruler, making it hard for the ego to drop what it’s been chasing. This can also be a month where you can find it a little more challenging to listen to the truth, but this is where the gold is right now (if you can get humble). The Virgo New Moon on the 2-3rd is calling for rebirth, transformation and transmutation. Plus, you can find that there are personal boundaries that you are called to deal with in a new way in this Lunar energy. Pay particular attention to where you are people pleasing to manipulate others, or where you are trying to control by building walls to keep the world out - this is where the gold (aka personal growth) is. There can be some difficulties around speaking up, getting your words out and second guessing yourself from the 20th until the 30th. If you can, hold off on announcing big plans, or having overly serious conversations during this time; as this energy is best used to spend some time alone, listening within and creating the space to be inspired again. This month will draw to a close under the influence of Eclipse Season. This starts with a Pisces Lunar Eclipse on the 17th-18th (n.b. this season will last until the 2-3rd of next month). This is an energy that is drawing your attention to matters of money, and worthiness. You can find that you start to see how old ancestral patterns of ‘lack’ are still playing out in your life…and are ready to be released. As the Sun moves into Libra on the 22nd (with the Equinox), it’s time to expand, to explore, to travel and remember you are student of the world (both inner + outer)

 

Pisces: February 19 – March 20

While the Sun is in Virgo until the 22nd it is calling for you to focus on intimacy, partnership and the playground of soul contracts. This is a time where you can find that you need to fill a little more of your own cup in your relationships, or even consider stepping into deeper connection with yourself (as all partnerships reflect this one). The New Moon on the 2-3rd, is the place to lay intentions in this area of your life as well as seek the divine’s support in how you express your love. The start of the month until the 19th is calling for you to be really considered in your actions, and not rush into anything (even if it feels like it’s important or urgent). You can find that mistakes can easily be made during this time when it’s a ‘knee-jerk reaction’ , and in these instances the ego’s voice can be mistaken for intuition. Use this energy to ask yourself ‘is this action necessary or can I wait?’ September marks the final Eclipse Season of the year. A time of karmic cleaning up, that will start with a Pisces Lunar Eclipse on the 17th-18th. This is an energy which marks a new chapter for you. It can see you being turned in a completely new direction in life, cleaning up ancestral patterns around the relationship with your body and ability to trust yourself. This is not an energy to try and manipulate or rally against, instead it is calling for surrender as it helps you step into greater alignment with your inner being. Pay attention while Mercury is in tension with your ruler, Neptune, from the 20th until the end of the month, as you can find that what you are feeling or intuiting about the people around you is not 100% correct. While this transit is in action, you’re not being shown the bigger picture, so just be very careful of making judgements about what is in front of you. As the Sun moves into Libra with the Equinox on the 22nd it can feel like you are in a state of rebirth, as you are called to work through the energy you have been ignoring around love, relationship + intimacy. This is a season that can lead you into a deeper expression and understanding of love.
