SEPTEMBER 2023

An overview of September 2023.

We continue to feel the August heat during the first two weeks of September, both metaphorically and literally. Use this time to regroup or reform your affairs and implement the necessary changes during the second fortnight.

How to maneuver through September 2023.

Oh, September 2023, what a roller coaster of adult tasks. Use the first two weeks to, be extra nice to your digestive and nervous systems. Treat them to some fancy herbal tea or a delicious home-cooked meal And don’t forget to back up everything. And your car tune-up, because who doesn’t want their vehicle to purr like a contented kitty? But wait, there’s more! Starting from the 4th of September, it’s time to play financial wizard and love guru. Prepare to do some serious number crunching and make sure you don’t sign any contracts or make big commitments until after the 16th. We don’t want the cosmic mojo messing with your decisions, do we? Oh, and one last piece of advice: start walking now and avoid any circulatory issues. You don’t want to be doing the “fall” thing in Fall! So put on those sneakers, strut your stuff, and let’s conquer September 2023 like the boss you are!

In the wacky world of September, get ready for an exciting joy ride of love and money in the second half of the month! But hey, watch out for those sneaky deceptions on the 20th and the tensions brewing on the 17th-18th and 29th-30th. Remember, people,, after the 24th, it’s all about the peace, love, and harmony in your personal relationships. And speaking of the big wide world, let’s all be savvy consumers and make choices that’ll save our beloved planet. Let’s keep the aggression levels low and the fun levels high! After all, diplomacy rocks, right? Buckle up and enjoy the cosmic show!

During September, 7 planets (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto) are moving backwards. Retrogrades give us a chance to regather our thoughts and energy. You can review a proposal, organize overdue paperwork, end a troubled friendship, affair, or business partnership, and begin anew. Normally, delays can be frustrating, but with all the planetary activity happening, maybe these delays are actually blessings in disguise.

Significant dates in September 2023.

• Time to reverse the global damage: Uranus is well aspected to Pluto and Neptune sextiles (by 2 degrees) Pluto. A personal and collective healing is plausible.
• September 4th. Mercury trines Jupiter. You can benefit from expansive ideas or overseas contacts.
• September 8th, Jupiter trines the Sun. A promising opportunity arises. Plan but sign after the 16th.
• September 15, the Sun trines Uranus. Innovation and sustainability are the magic words.
• August 17th. Mars in Virgo trines Uranus in Taurus. Go get them!
• September 20th. The Sun in Virgo opposes nebulous Neptune. Look out for deception and drunk driving.
• September 21st, the Sun trines Pluto. Let the healing begin. Let go of y(our) old habits.
• September 24th. The Sun enters balancing, diplomatic, beauty oriented and superficial Libra.

Astro-highlight for September 2023: Task master, tenacious, hard work rewarding, albeit limiting, Saturn, is now retrograde. This motion gives you a chance to regroup, should you think it necessary. Have you been patient, worked hard, consistently and kept an open mind to changes? You are slowly coming out of the woods and depending on your chart, your hard work begins to pay off, as SEPTEMBER rolls in. You probably are exhausted, like an athlete is, a few meters before the finish line. Keep plugging along, don’t give up now, your finish line is in front of you, September 4, 15 or 29, 2023, depending on your chart!

The Moon in September 2023.

Astro Tip for the Cardinal zodiac family (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, or people with points to your charts here); the North Node (Karmic evolution) at 24-25 degrees Aries (birthday April 13-14 and South Node (inherited DNA) 24-25 degrees Libra (October 15-16). Saturn is at an uncomfortable angle in retrograde motion and is here to reward, or not. Collect good Karma, understand that limits can be a blessing in disguise: remember how you were treated in the past and don’t fall for the same act again (the truth excavator Pluto is now retrograde). Do not be dictatorial, especially if you are a political leader with your Sun/Ascendant or points on Aries/Cancer and Libra/Capricorn.
