The month of September is judicious and calculating, especially with two eclipses and multiple planets entering signs known for their intellectual acumen. However, this month is not all hospital corners and spreadsheets. Though decisive, eclipses can leave a lot of mess and emotional overwhelm in their wake. We’re also sure to witness much that doesn’t make any sense as Uranus stations retrograde on September 6.
The first planet to start its judgement calls is Saturn, as it retrogrades back into Pisces on the 1st. What emotional messes need to be reorganized? What dams and bridges need repairing so that we can keep dry during the next deluge? Mercury, entering its home sign and also the sign of its exaltation, Virgo, on the 2nd, will be only too happy to whip things back into tip-top shape. The next two weeks are a great time for editing and streamlining. Get rid of the overflow!
On the 7th, a total lunar eclipse arrives in Pisces. The tide is high! Remember those “emotional messes” I just mentioned? Get your towels ready to sop up the release of suppressed information in the form of feelings.
Mercury enters Libra on the 18th, which signals a time for refining agreements. With Venus entering Virgo the next day, on the 19th, we can expect these agreements to be coldly pragmatic in nature—even in affairs of the heart. Circle the 22 on your calendar as two planetary ingresses signal deep urges to merge. The first is Mars’s entrance into its home sign, all-or-nothing Scorpio. Go deep or go home. The Sun’s entrance into Libra (autumnal equinox) on the same day, would rather strive for equality and harmony (at least on the surface).
