Cosmic Scope for Sep 2024
I call the month of Sep “The Beginning of the End of this Era”.
This is an extremely significant moment in the history of mankind when all the 3 outer planets, Uranus (in Taurus), Neptune (in Pisces) and Pluto (in Capricorn) go retrograde at the last few degrees of the Earth and Water signs before all 3 will totally enter the Air and Fire signs in July 2025. Uranus goes into Gemini, Neptune into Aries and Pluto into Aquarius. In general, the outer planets’ influences cast on a global scale and longer term. It will not only affect us on a personal level, but we will feel that everyone seems to experience the changes in a similar way but in different areas of our lives, depending on where these planets fall and the aspects they make in our own charts. The Lunar Eclipse in the last zodiac sign, Pisces this month underscores this culmination cycle.
The month starts off with Uranus Retrograde (R) at 27°15’ Taurus on 1 Sep and Pluto leaves Aquarius (R) back into Capricorn for the final time on the same day before it officially enters Aquarius on 20 Nov for the next 20 years. Uranus is all about radical changes, but in retrograde motion in the sign of Taurus, it’s reminding us to work internally on the changes we need in the areas of self-esteem, self-value, comfort, stability, material possession, relationships. Taurus being a fixed sign, tends to stick to ‘same old, same old’. But we will realize with this retrograde, things need to change for our higher good. Pluto helps us to transform and again, in retrograde motion, it encourages us to re-consider the goals, structures and ambition we hold for ourselves (Capricorn). Things might collapse but will be re-born into something even better for us.
On 3 Sep, there’s a New Moon in Virgo at 11°03’. This signifies a brand-new beginning. With the Virgo nature of striving for perfection and precision. On the same day, Mars square Neptune at 28°59’. Mars in Gemini can be very vocal and get involved in heated arguments, whereas Neptune in Pisces just wants to go with the flow, forgive and let go. Again, usually the outer planet wins. This Neptune is still in retrograde motion, so focus inwards, self-reflect. Is the fight (Mars) necessary?
The fight or energy will shift on 4 Sep when Mars enters Cancer. Mars here will fiercely protect, especially emotions, family or any areas that are hidden. Sometimes, it might signify house moving.
Mercury square Uranus at 27°14’ on 7 Sep. Big talks, grandeur, creative thinking are all Mercury in Leo wants to do, puts us out there to be seen. But Uranus retrograde in Taurus doesn’t want that. Uranus wants self-reflection on the changes we are resisting in order to stay safe and stable.
On 9 Sep, Mercury enters Virgo. We will start to think about getting back into daily routine, health conscious and our thoughts will focus on the details. The next 4 days might be good for working on any home projects as Mercury in Virgo forms a nice sextile aspect to Mars in Cancer which will give you the energy to work on things at home.
Then on 18 Sep, we have a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces at 25°47’ guiding us to wrap up any chapter in our lives that no longer serves for our highest good and let it go. Pisces being the last zodiac sign concludes it all. On the same day, Mercury in Virgo is in opposition to Saturn in Pisces (Retrograde) at 15°15’ underscores the reminder to us to release any tension focusing on the details. Lots of inner work here needs to be done as Neptune is still in retrograde in Pisces.
There’s a sense of relief after those pretty heavy energies in the 1st half of the month when Sun enters Libra on 22 Sep. The mood feels more balanced, and we will finally get out to engage more with one another, forming alliances and focusing on building relationships. However, at the same time, Venus square Pluto at 29°43’ gets us to look into any relationships which I feel are more hierarchical. Are you trying to preserve peace with someone of higher authority whom you actually don’t quite get along with? Do you really need to endure the power harassment or top-down management style of your boss?
Well, on the next day, 23 Sep, Venus enters Scorpio. So, you have the chance to regain your power in such relationships, not to the extent of being vindictive, but with Mercury trine Uranus at 27°02’ 24 Sep, the opportunity is here to be radical in your communication. Mercury in Virgo is meticulous, and Uranus in Taurus helps you to show all the hard work you’ve been putting into your work that you can now speak up with dignity and proof of your past efforts to the authority! This will be transformative.
I love the next few days’ movements of the planets when on 25 Sep, Mercury opposition Neptune at 28°23’, Mercury trine Pluto at 29°42’ and Mercury enters Libra on 26 Sep. Letting go, relationships improving, restoring peace and harmony.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this blog, Sep is just the beginning of the culmination of everything. In fact, this is the month when we can still take a breather before a new wave of changes come along in the next few months that concludes 2024.
Sending love, joy and peace for a great month of September ahead.
