Connecting with the Cosmos: September 2023

Published 8 months ago • 4 min read

With the summer winding down and the arrival of September, the energy in the cosmos will help you get back on track and into your new routines!

Only one planet is changing signs, so we will be able to settle into the current energy and take advantage of all its deliciousness!

As two planets come out of retrograde, our daily experiences in how we think and speak, and our interactions in our relationships will flow more easily by months end. There’s also shift early this month that will be an invitation to reflect and reevaluate major, long-term goals for a “second chance” opportunity for expansion that began in May.

But the New Moon and Full Moon this month both have some “wobbly” energy that do not have same punch we typically experience.

And if there’s a time you need to go easy on yourself, note Sept. 16th and 17th on your calendar. There may be something you’re struggling with or not going as smoothly as you expected or you are feeling out of sorts. Check out my TIME OUT TIP THIS MONTH at the end.

Let’s get started looking at the major cosmic energy in the month of September. If you know which zodiac signs map to the house in your birth chart, you will be able to apply these on a more personal level:

The Retrogrades Are Over…well, not quite all of them! But two major planets that go direct will provide much needed momentum.

Venus (the planet of attraction – love and money) stations direct on Sept. 3rd in Leo. You’ll start to pick up momentum and refocus on priorities and what you value since its retrograde period began on July 22nd. If Leo is the 2nd House in your birth chart, it’s prime time for income generating activities!

Jupiter (the planet of abundance, optimism and luck) in Taurus starts its retrograde on Sept. 4th and ends on December 30th. This is a period of reflection and integration of plans for growth in the sign of Taurus that began in May of this year. Jupiter offers second chances so this is a time to ensure more secure plans are in place. If Taurus is the 7th house of your birth chart, this is a great time to re-evaluate personal and professional partnerships that will be long lasting and sustainable.

Mercury (the planet of communications) stations direct in Virgo on Sept. 14th. You will start to see forward movement with new plans, systems, routines and schedules that you’ve been restructuring, reorganizing and simplifying. If Virgo is the 3rd House in your birth chart, this is a time to finish up and implement any projects related to communications and systems like fine tuning your email platforms, writing projects or social media schedule for the rest of the year.

The Sun ends its journey in Virgo and joins Mars (the planet of action) in the sign of Libra on September 23rd. The collective vibe changes to focusing more on relationships and how we interact with others in a more balanced way with cooperation and diplomacy. If Libra is the 4th House in your birth chart, the focus may be on cooperation, rebalancing and harmonizing your relationship with family. This can even be resolving inner conflicts within yourself if you aren’t able to express your individuality as it relates to childhood and family beliefs.

We do have two moons in the month of September that are a bit out of the ordinary:

The New Moon in Virgo on September 14th will oppose Neptune (the planet of illusion and imagination). There’s a mixed quality to this moon where the usual drive and momentum might feel muddled or stalled. As this also coincides with Mercury stationing direct on the same day, you may feel slow in getting started, confused and less than enthusiastic. Give it a few days before you see your energy pick up. On the contrary, the Neptunian energy can bring inspiration through intuition. Use this downtime to meditate more than taking action.

Full Moon in Aries on September 29th opposes the Sun in Libra and is close to Mars (the planet of action) and the South Node (symbol of “comfort zone” and stagnation”) and may have a bit of an “ecliptic” feel (heavier than normal). This Moon energy is asking us to evaluate personal vs. partnership priorities, release and let go of reactionary tendencies without consideration for others. It’s calling for shift in perspective for more diplomacy, collaboration and negotiation.

TIME OUT TIP THIS MONTH

Time Out Tip This Month

If you want to take a break in the month of September, a good time to do so would be September 16 and 17th . As the moon connects with Mars (the planet of action) and the South Node (represents “comfort zone” and stagnation) in the sign of Libra, you may feel out of sorts, struggling with something that’s not going smoothly or out of your element.

Go easy on yourself and take a nice break!!
