Astrology September 2019

& so here we are, in the latter part of the Year! Last month was much quieter on the Aspect front, so I hope you got some relax time in. This Month, it’s one thing after another Astro wise & when the Sky’s busy, it’s busy on Earth! We’re starting off with a Virgo full house, with the Sun, Mercury, Mars & Venus all in the Sign in the first couple of weeks, just having had a New Moon in Virgo too. This is making for a SUPER Virgo Season. I’d venture to say Virgo is like the Cosmic Personal Assistant, so we’ve got an enormous amount of clout behind us if we want to become our most organised & well put together selves.

In true Virgo form, I’ll break things down to basics & hopefully create a coherent bigger picture. The Sun is where we shine in life, we’ll glow if we adopt a Virgoan attitude of efficient productivity throughout September. Mercury coming into the Sign will help us think & communicate well, as long as we stick to what’s essential & don’t get tangled up in minutia. There’ll be a tendency to criticise, both ourselves & others, so be aware of any harsh edges & keep that to a minimum! Mars, our drive & motivation, will be geared well if we keep to the rules, stick to the plan & work to streamline & construct responsibly. On to Venus, who governs our love & money & She can be a little sticky in Virgo. We want perfect!! We want ideal!! We especially want our relationships to run smoothly & to offer us a cushion in trying times, but Venus too is up for some realigning. Focusing on practicalities, trimming the fat & reorganising foundational aspects of these matters is time used well. If you approach Venus in Virgo as an aproned spring cleaner, you should be able to spruce things up & get them running in a far healthier way.

In the midst of this, Neptune is in the Opposite Sign of Watery Pisces & Jupiter is in Fiery Sagittarius, which can throw a few spanners into our works. Neptune often brings an element of doubt & dreamy confusion into the mix, Jupiter gets a little hyped up & over enthusiastic, but Earthy Virgo finds emotional reckoning & fire works challenging. Pisces wants to sleep in, Virgo wants to get up early & get going. Pisces wants to tune out & watch movies, Virgo wants to go through the household accounts, write lists & set a new budget. Who’s right here? Well, no one… we need a balance of both to keep us sane & happy! Virgo Energy will trump because of all the Planets in the Sign, but it may make it hard to concentrate & sift through fact-age at times. Jupiter tends to side with Pisces & whilst He’ll be intent on picking out movies & popping pop corn, He too will have to honour Virgo & instead, work to put some order in the house. So there’s a balancing act required in September & we may not feel we have enough drive to get us where we’re going. Virgo does like to simplify & get back to basics, so sorting out a sensible schedule & sticking to it will allow us some ease. Remember you have to get your homework done before you can watch tv!

& speaking of popcorn, how’s your diet been lately? Leo Season may have offered up a little too much on the indulgence front, but Virgo is more attuned to our general health & well being, asking us what can be improved. If you find yourself with a few niggles throughout the Month, you can hone in & innovate any weak spots with more ease than in other Months. More specifically, because Virgo is Ruled by Mercury, there’s a LOT of mental stimulation to contend with & overload can lead to excessive, or even obsessive worry. Anxiety & nervous conditions, stress & insomnia are also connected to an overactive mind. As described, September will be a BUSY time, but you may need to pull back & take care of your health first. Digestive complaints can flare up, as well as any skin conditions & allergies you may have going on. Virgo serves us a reminder to eat WELL & to treat our bodies with the respect it deserves for carrying us around! This Sign is known to govern Natural Therapies of all sorts, Herbs, Flower Essences, Acupuncture etc. These modalities might be worth looking into. Aside from this, a revamped diet & fresh exercise plan will really flourish. It’s motivational to think that if you stick to whatever you put in place throughout Spring, you’ll be in perfect bikini ready shape by Summer. So… get some good habits going now.

Pluto & Saturn, in fellow Earth Sign Capricorn, are supportive of all this Virgo Energy & they’ll lend themselves toward us attaining some really tangible momentum & movement forward. If you feel you’re being pulled in all directions, the remedy is to scale back. Cut out the “waste” & get the necessities done. Virgo is minimalistic, it’s just that with so many Planets present, they all want their basics taken care of, at the very least… & it adds up. Uranus in the other Earth Sign, Taurus, will be supportive if & where you decide to axe things out of your schedule & out of your life! He’ll then create some space which you can fill in a far more creative, beneficial & full filling way. The idea, again, is to get back to core issues & put a firmer footing in. Nothing can expand & grow if it’s foundations are rushed & shonky. Strive for a fresh slate & initiate the beginnings of what you want to grow in the coming Months.

The September Full Moon falls on Saturday the 14th, at 14.32, @21 Degrees of Pisces. As mentioned above, Pisces way of doing things doesn’t have much to do with Virgos rule of thumb. Depending on which House this occurs in, in your own personal Chart, things are pulled away from all the practical stuff we’re dealing with & channeled into the Spiritual Realm. Suddenly, it’s about how we’re feeling, not what we’re doing. What’s interesting, is that Venus & Mars will be joining up right now too. Venus being representative of the feminine & Mars, the masculine archetypes. Relationships, in general, are about to become a big focus & there’ll be revelations a plenty about how we share ourselves, what we give & receive emotionally & basically what we need to feel taken care of & comfortable. Jupiter, our expander, will also have a say & He’ll be encouraging of a heart felt flow. Schedule in some down time NOW, trust me, you’ll thank yourself in a week or two. Pisces is reflective & gentle, spacey & other worldly. Use this time to reconnect to yourself & those you love, whilst redrawing boundaries intent on serving the greater good of nurturance for everyone. Again, simplifying things & letting go of emotional baggage can work wonders for our ongoing well being. Once we get past this Full Moon, the Virgo Energy starts to dissipate somewhat & I’m sure we’ll all be ready for that!

The New Moon is on Sunday the 29th, at 04:26, @5 Degrees of Libra & we get a well needed blast of Air! After all the Earth & Water of September, things start to feel a little more buoyant. Libras Ruling Planet, Venus, will have shifted into her home territory too, so this New Moon is Venusian for sure. Relationships of all kinds, be they romantic, familial or business, become emphasised. If things went a bit awry on that Pisces Full Moon, you’ll probably be able to sort much of it out now, from a more detached perspective. A New Moon is where we concentrate our efforts to make the things we want more of grow. Libra Energies seek harmony & balance, they’re the strategic & attentive qualities of the born Diplomat or Host & Hostess. What does it take to make something more beautiful & pleasing? As Libra is a Sign of partnership, we’ll find we can operate well as a team, so how do you want to collaborate? Balance is achieved by compromising, so now’s a good time to come up with plans that’ll demand a bit of give & take. We’ll probably all be revamping our beauty & fashion ideas ahead of Spring & Summer, along with redecorating & fresh-ifying our surrounds. This New Moon provides a lot of class & discernment for your choices, just make sure you stick to the budget Virgo worked so hard to put in place!
