September 2022

I normally have this newsletter out by the 1st, and today is the 7th, which may foreshadow how the month will go.

All of our slow outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) are in retrograde motion. On the community and global level, we are revisiting events, themes, and topics that have been in motion for months, maybe years. Extreme climate events and old political issues are going to continue recirculating, forcing review and adjustment.

Now it gets personal. Mercury slows down this week and turns retrograde on Friday, Sept 9. Have you started to feel like you’re driving with the brakes on and one broken blinker?

For the next few weeks, focus on what is most important to you. Double-check your information and plans, and let the rest go. You may need to adjust your own (and other people’s) expectations about how much you can accomplish.

Slow down, and savor the arrival of fall. Limit your time on media and invest in the experiences right in front of you. Between now and mid-November, it will be all too easy to get over-exposed to the up-and-down news around us.

Sun and Moon

The Moon will be full this weekend (Fri-Sat). This particular lunation has BIG EMOTIONS written all over it. All full moons have that tendency, but this one is extreme. Trust that the waves will calm by Tuesday morning.

The Sun moves from Virgo to Libra on Sept 22, followed by the New Moon in Libra on Sept 25. Happy birthday to my Libra Sun friends! My birthday falls in this season, on Sept 28.

Golden Hours

It was hard to find substantial blocks of time when the Moon is happy and supported this month. There are two days I’m marking on my calendar to seize. All times are CST.

Tuesday, Sept 13 - The Moon enters Taurus, one of her favorite places in the zodiac and she is in a smooth flow with Venus (planet of relationships, creativity, and finance). Connect with others over a good meal. It is a “balm for the soul” day. Normally it would be good for shopping, but sit this one out. It is best to avoid making big purchases until Mercury turns direct.

Friday, Sept 30 - The Moon in Sagittarius has friendly aspects all day. Get up and get going with bold enthusiasm. You can rejoice that Mercury will only be retrograde for 2 more days!

Mercury turns direct early morning on Sunday, Oct 2.

If you want to know how the upcoming transits may impact you personally, book a consultation. I’m still traveling, but have a few appointments available Sept 14-16 and will return in early October.

Gift certificates are now available for purchase at my website. A general consultation is a terrific birthday gift! Please make sure the recipient is interested before you buy.
