Happy September!
This month, we have the chance to recalibrate and integrate after a volatile summer of eclipses and retrogrades—upheaval and recalibration. We can now pull in the reins, with practical Virgo taking our hands, and a Grand Earth Trine offering stability, sanity, and support.
As we prepare for new chapters and phases, we might ask ourselves:
How much can we remain open in the face of uncertainty?
How can we love ourselves through these transitions, while creating the lives, relationships, and selves we want to inhabit?
Relationship themes are strong, with Venus moving into intimate Scorpio and preparing to station retrograde. At the same time, Uranus is questioning how we relate to love, desire, and values in general.
Patience is key as we learn to approach our lives and each other with greater thoughtfulness, respect, and care. The Aries Full Moon toward the end of the month is an invitation to leap into action. Until then, it's time to ground and clean up our energetic baggage as we move closer to beginning the new paradigm...

SEPTEMBER SUMMARY
September is a beautiful month for organization, as the planets assist us in finding sanity and clarity after a painful, difficult summer of retrogrades and eclipses. This summer brought ample tension as we’ve rapidly released old energies for the purpose of calling in the new. From this place of vulnerability, we can now pull our broken pieces into cohesion, with careful, logical Virgo is helping us regulate and find ground. On September 4, Saturn stations direct, endowing us with pragmatism. At the same time, a supremely stable Grand Earth trine helps us find order from the chaos. And on September 9, a Virgo New Moon assists us in cleaning up our energetic messes. We’re strategizing on how we will build our future while heeding our deepest desires. Uranus and Mars form their final square mid-month, moving us into greater sincerity and more authentic life paths, which align with our truest hearts. As we prepare for Venus’ retrograde next month, the Aries Full Moon on September 24 offers a powerful moment to reassess our relationships, becoming more courageous in our tenderness—freer to feel what we feel, without resistance. With deliberation and care, we’re beginning to chisel out the lives, relationships, and selves we want to inhabit. We’re discovering our true strength, which stems from allowing ourselves to be who we are, without fighting it. We’re loving ourselves more—and from here, releasing judgments about ourselves and each other, as we transition into greater acceptance, peace, harmony, and love.
Like rain trickling down mountaintops, may our paths emerge naturally and effortlessly. May we release our solid grips around who we’re supposed to be, emerging as kinder, gentler, and more receptive beings—more of who we really are.
