September brings complicated but necessary conditions that will prompt you to take action despite the future’s uncertainty. It starts with a full moon in Pisces on the 2nd for a potentially emotional time and a new moon in Virgo on the 17th, which marks a new practical beginning. Mercury enters Libra on the 5th, which infuses communications with more diplomacy. Venus in Cancer may signify relationship challenges before entering Leo on the 6th, where there may be shocking surprises in store. Mars in Aries stations retrograde on the 9th, slowing down your roll. Libra season begins, a.k.a. the start of fall equinox, resulting in equal lengths of day and night as the sun enters Libra on the 22nd. Mercury enters Scorpio, changing the mood to prefer more intensity and emotional depth.
