By adding the universal year 2003, (2+0+0+3) = 5, to the 9th month of September, we come up with the vibration of 14/5. The 5-month is a time for synthesizing all of the knowledge and experiences you’ve acquired over the last four months. Look to see what you have been learning and how this information may fit into a larger system of knowledge that you can then disseminate to others. The 5 month also signifies greater participation and possibilities in any media related business: writing, speaking, teaching or promotion. September 4-5: Let Go of Judgement. Venus in Virgo is in hard aspect to Pluto in Sagittarius from September 4-5. This is a great opportunity to look at where you are around expressing your opinions, your judgement of others, and your anger. The tendency with Venus/Pluto is to be attached to outcome and to being right. I came up with a mantra many years ago that I think of often: "Would I rather be right or in love?" Since Venus represents the heart, hard aspects to Pluto challenge us to keep our hearts open. The only way we can move into judgment is through closing down our hearts and restricting our natural expression of love. Be mindful of when you go into judgement, blame, rigidity or anger and then ask your self: "Would I rather be right or in love?" One caveat: make sure you don’t judge yourself when you don’t feel like you’re in your heart! September 5-9: Ramp Up Your Idealism. Mars in Pisces is in a challenging aspect to Jupiter in Virgo from September 5-9. Mars/Jupiter energy is great for putting your will behind your ideals. It’s like the warrior going on a crusade in support of a lofty vision. Use this Mars/Jupiter transit to ramp up your idealism and get into action! Since Mars is in a water sign, which represents emotional focus, this is a great time for completing projects that evoke your compassionate or your desire to serve and protect. September 10: Merge With Spirit. On September 10 there is a full moon at 17 degrees Pisces. The full moon in Pisces asks us to tune into our desire to merge with spirit. The full moon in Pisces is calling us to bring full awareness to the path of surrendering our sense of separation so that we can once again experience the bliss of unity consciousness. Use this full moon to nurture yourself spiritually through contemplation, meditation, flowing movement and music. September 10-October 9: Deepen Your Trust. Saturn in Cancer is in a challenging relationship to Chiron in Capricorn from September 10-October 9. Saturn/Chiron aspects ask us to heal old wounds around authority. This is particularly true for those born between June 1944 through August 1946 and July 1973 through September 1975, when Saturn was in Cancer. Both generations will be experiencing their Saturn returns over the next couple of years (at around 29.5 and 59 years) and have an opportunity to heal any wounds (Chiron) around authority (Saturn) issues. This may revolve around the issue of not being able to express one’s emotional nature without recrimination. For everyone, Saturn/Chiron can help eliminate any negative imprinting or shame around emotional expression. As we free up our emotional expression, we also free up our ability to receive intuitive guidance that we may have never paid attention to before. Let Saturn/Chiron free you so you can express and deepen your trust of your emotional nature. September 15-December 30: Surrender To The Flow. Uranus is retrograde until November 7 and will move back briefly into the sign of Aquarius from September 15-December 30. With Uranus finishing up it’s transit through the sign of Aquarius, we are being awakened to the realization that we are truly energetic beings who are constantly enveloped by a universal energy field that is always available to us. What is being asked of us during this next 3.5 months is to continue to dissolve the blocks that prevent universal energy from running in our bodies. Wherever there is resistance to increased energy, there is tension. This can manifest as excess nervous energy, impatience, irritability, anxiety or muscular tension. One of the best methods to deal with these symptoms is to notice where the holding is and then to begin releasing the tension through breathing practices, meditation and bodywork. The effort you spend now will be more than paid back when Uranus moves back into Pisces and you’ve learned how to be empowered by surrendering to the flow. September 15 -October 9: Reconnect To The Feminine. Venus, known as Aphrodite in the Greek tradition is very much at home in the sign representing balance, harmony and beauty. Venus is the Goddess who brings the power of the Divine mother (the moon) into physical manifestation. She is one of the primary archetypes of the creative feminine energy. When Venus occupies Libra, you have an opportunity to express your creativity and passion through manifesting beauty and harmony in your world. This is a wonderful time to reconnect to the feminine through art, music, dance or design. It is also a time for communing with the harmonious vibrations of the natural world. September 15 -October 9: Push The Envelope. Mars in Pisces is within one degree of Uranus in Aquarius from September 15 -October 9. Mars/Uranus energy tends to speed up the nervous system so if you feel wired take some time to do some deep breathing. Mars/Uranus energy is very good when you have to be daring or audacious in your work or home life. It’s a time to take risks and push the envelope. Let Mars and Uranus help you to take the next step in your evolution: moving beyond what you once thought was possible. September 17: Trust Your Wisdom. Chiron in Capricorn, which has been moving in retrograde motion since May, now moves direct again on September 17. With Chiron now direct in Capricorn, the focus is on healing the wounds we have around trusting our inherent wisdom and authority. It is now time to throw off the injunctions (from past and present lives) that have prevented you from speaking the truth, as you know it. This may look like letting go of the thought that you must have advanced degrees or special training to validate and prove your spiritual authority. Or it may require that you learn to let go of the conscious mind long enough so that your inherent wisdom can surface on it’s own without censoring. Having done your healing work, Chiron in Capricorn will bring you incredible opportunities to powerfully share universal truth and wisdom on the planet. September 17-23: Focus Your Mind. With Mercury in Virgo in a positive relationship with Saturn in Cancer you have an opportunity to align your ideas with a definite plan of action. What is the form or specific plan that you can begin implementing that would really contribute to your overall sense of mental well-being? Mercury/Saturn is a great time for taking on any project where you need to focus the mind on specific details. The main challenge is to not become too rigid or attached to the specific outcome you have in mind. September 26: Come Into Harmony. On September 26, we begin a new Moon cycle at 2 degrees Libra. With the New Moon in Libra, the focus this month is on nurturing yourself by finding ways to come into harmony with your inner self. With the New Moon in Libra, you have an opportunity to learn how to come into balance through diet, creating balance between your work and play, and balancing your need for independence and autonomy with your need for intimate relationships with others. September 27-29: Expect Breakthroughs. With Mercury, the ruler of all areas of communication, aspecting Pluto, you can expect major breakthroughs in your thinking process this month. Mercury/Pluto activates your ability to access your deep, instinctive intuitive states, so by being receptive at this time you might receive guidance that can be quite illuminating. Mercury/Pluto helps us to be able to take action on our guidance as Mercury/Pluto aspects are all about speaking our truth powerfully and with conviction. September 23: Be A Peacemaker. The Sun moves into Libra on the September 23, the day of the autumnal equinox. The autumnal equinox marks the beginning of fall, which initiates a new balance in nature. The falling of leaves begins the formation of fresh humus that will eventually replenish the soil depleted by the year’s growth. The Libra principle is associated with balance, equanimity, justice and mediation. Our job in the sign of Libra is to be peacemakers; to promote a social consciousness that is just to all and to reflect and mirror to others the balance and beauty, the light and dark, of relationship. September 23-24 Put Your Compassion Into Action. Venus in Libra is a positive relationship with Neptune in Aquarius from September 23-24. Venus trine Neptune asks us to balance our personal desires with our impulse to serve the collective. Use this transit to open your heart and to discover how you can put your compassion and unconditional love for others into action James Jarvis, M.A. is a master astrologer, professional life coach and transpersonal counselor.
