September Rollercoaster

The first week of September is Busy with a capital ‘B’. Pluto re-enters Capricorn, Uranus goes retrograde, we have a New Moon in Virgo, Mars in Gemini squares Neptune and then enters Cancer—to name just the ‘headlines’.

And then it gets a bit quiet for a week or so. We even get a break with a nice Venus-Jupiter trine.

And then the BANG. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on September 18th, 2024 is the first one in the Virgo/Pisces axis in a long time.

But let’s take a look at the most important transits of the month:

September 1st, 2024 – Pluto Re-Enters Capricorn

Pluto is back in Capricorn for.the.last.time.ever. This is it, folks.

Sometimes we wish we could turn back time just to capture the essence of what was, because what we experienced was so unique and transformative that we know those circumstances will never repeat.

Pluto in Capricorn is neither inherently positive nor negative. It’s a flavor – a flavor we’ve grown accustomed to over the past 15 years. But it’s also a flavor we won’t experience again.

Unless, of course, something extraordinary happens, and we live to 300 years old to see Pluto’s next ingress into Capricorn in 2255.

You get the message. Make the best out of these last weeks of Pluto in Capricorn.

It’s not about rushing to complete projects, but about understanding what Pluto in Capricorn has meant for you since 2008 and appreciating how it has shaped the person you’ve become. Savor it for what it is.

September 2nd, 2024 – New Moon In Virgo

This is a tense set-up that might make you question, “Is this (fill in the blanks) still what I want?”

People are changing, life is changing, and we need to keep up with the times. It’s okay to change your mind. It’s okay to start again, even if you haven’t figured it all out yet.

A New Moon is a new beginning. An opportunity to start fresh with a clean slate. The ruler of the New Moon, Mercury, is slowly waking up from a numbing stationary period. Slowly, slowly, we are getting there.

September 2nd, 2024 – Uranus Turns Retrograde

The world won’t literally turn upside down (hopefully!), but Uranus stationary retrograde will definitely bring a lot of surprises. Uranus will make sure that change happens, whether we like it or not.

Advice? No advice for Uranus transits, sorry. Keep an open mind and carry on.

September 3rd, 2024 – Mars Square Neptune

There’s a sense of urgency and intensity as we approach this critical point. Just when we thought we figured out our best approach (Mars in Gemini), Neptune in Pisces throws in a curveball.

Mars in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces feels like those infamous infomercials that say, ‘But wait, there’s more!’.

Mars square Neptune will point to the overlooked detail, to the hidden elephant in the room. This could change everything, leaving us to reconsider our next steps. But instead of seeing this as a setback, look at it as a divine intervention guiding us to a better path.

September 3rd, 2024 – Venus Conjunct South Node

There’s something that’s holding you back. An outdated value. An emotional attachment. A relationship dynamic that no longer serves you. Take a deep breath and let it go.

---

September 4th, 2024 – Mars Enters Cancer

Mars is the planet of action, and Cancer is the sign of privacy and security – our comfort zone. Mars in Cancer may seem emotional and fragile, but he’s hard as a rock and he will not hesitate to claw you if he feels threatened.

Cancer is a cardinal sign after all! The upcoming 6 weeks are a good time to draw stronger boundaries and fight for what is important to you.

September 15th, 2024 – Venus Trine Jupiter

This is a beautiful transit that is perfect for social, fun-loving activities.

It’ will just be easier to connect and enjoy other people’s company.

Be intentional. Pencil in something. Reach out to someone. Take time to smell the roses.

September 18th, 2024 – Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces

At this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, we have the full support of the Universe. What will be revealed to us will be profound and extraordinary.

But to be able to ‘see’ what the Full Moon and Neptune are here to illuminate, we have to let go of old ways of being. This is a North Node Eclipse. We have to be OK with not having all the answers.

It’s not that we were wrong. But as we move through life, new and richer layers are gradually revealed. When we embrace change, we open ourselves up to greater possibilities and growth.

September 22nd, 2024 – Sun Enters Libra

This is the Equinox – that powerful time of the year when the day is equal to the night. This point of equilibrium is also a turning point.

The balance between day and night now shifts. There’s a new season bringing new developments, new opportunities, and new beginnings.

And while Libra is almost synonymous with the word “balance” – and balance sounds a bit like inaction -, let’s not forget that Libra is a cardinal sign. The Libra season is actually a great time to take action – get yourself out there, make connections, and initiate new projects.

September 23rd, 2024 – Venus Enters Scorpio

Sudden intensity is the hallmark of Scorpio, or the “Scorpio effect”. Whenever a planet enters this transformative sign of the zodiac, it’s like a plunge into the depths.

Venus represents our values, feelings, and relationships – basically what’s important to us. When Venus is in Scorpio, we no longer accept anything superficial. We no longer tolerate half truths. It’s all or nothing.

And while with this transit it’s tempting to point the finger at others – and cut off relationships, friendships, or connections that don’t align with our values – it’s important to examine our inner landscape first.

Where are we not fully honest and transparent with ourselves? Where are we a little bit superficial, a little bit afraid, or holding back?

September 22nd, 2024 – Mercury Enters Libra

Are you too opinionated, or on the contrary, too accommodating? Do you jump to conclusions or take lots of time to make up your mind?

We all fall somewhere on this spectrum.

And here is where Mercury in Libra comes to help us find that sweet spot. Because it’s in that delicate middle ground where true understanding happens.

This is a great transit for negotiations, reaching agreements, and finding win-win outcomes.
