Astrological Forecast for September 2024
There is a very different energy this month. The first ten days of September are expected to be relatively calm, but then, as we get closer to the lunar eclipse, we will begin to feel more intense energies. The lunar eclipse on the 17-18th is, without a doubt, the main astrological and astronomical event of this month.
Eclipses are tied to the karma of all humanity, but not all of them carry negative energy (this depends on the planetary positions at the time of the event). Unfortunately, the September partial lunar eclipse will be extremely problematic. It can be observed in western Europe and Africa, eastern North America and throughout South America.
Tensions will begin to escalate on the 13 – 14th, before Mars and the moon nodes form a T-square configuration. This is a very difficult pattern of aspects, with a karmic background given by the nodes and a planet of war in the center. The exact aspect falls on September 15 – 16, just before the eclipse. This paints a bleak picture for a truce in the theatre of war.
The lunar eclipse will occur in Vancouver on the evening of the 17th (but we won’t see it, which is good), but in the eastern hemisphere it will already be the 18th. A lunar eclipse always happens during a full moon, when the Moon is in opposition with the Sun. All full moons bring with them emotional upheavals, sensitivity and often sleep problems. During an eclipse, all the above are aggravated. This time the eclipse will take place on the Pisces (Moon) – Virgo (Sun) axis. Emotions and illusions are not friends with reason, nor often with reality.
At the time of the eclipse, the Moon will be in conjunction with Neptune, which will only fuel illusions and self-deception. How often, when we become convinced that reality doesn’t correspond to the beautiful fairy tales that we’ve invented, does this cause indignation, resentment and anger? This is exactly that we might encounter during the eclipse. Recommendation: on September 16 – 19, do reality checks regularly and do not make any important decisions, since they can be made solely under the influence of emotions.
At the moment of the eclipse, Mars is still in the stressful aspects with the moon nodes, which greatly increases the likelihood of accidents. An emotional upheaval is directly involved in accidents. If you are driving, please remember this. The risk of injuries is highest in mid-September for Cancers born on June 27 – 29 and Capricorns born on December 28 – 30. Please also monitor your blood pressure.
Mars is in a negative aspect to Black Moon on September 15 – 23, which always provokes unmotivated aggression. Since Mars at this moment has already moved to the sign of Cancer (which is associated with the person’s house and family), he can be aggressive because it will seem that somebody is attacking him (or his family/homeland), although this might not be the case. At this time, it is almost impossible to agree on a truce.
On September 17, an eclipse corridor opens for two weeks, until the solar eclipse on October 2nd, which also will be pretty unpleasant. Keep track of what events will happen in the world or in your personal life during this time. They will not be random, and can set cycles for the next 18 years. The eclipse corridor is the best time to give up bad habits as well as reconsider your attitude towards life.
Super-powerful Pluto will return briefly to Capricorn before finally moving to Aquarius. He can give us a good shake to show what fools we are for clinging to the old life: after all, the train has already left. Capricorns, born at the very end of the sign (January 18 – 19), will most likely not be happy about this return, since a large number of responsibilities may fall on their shoulders. However, those who live in awareness will be able to use the autumn season for personal transformation.
One more warning: don’t trust information received on September 25 – 26: the likelihood of deception is very high.
And finally…about the good stuff! Jupiter, called the planet of Great Luck by ancients, is in the sign of Gemini. Usually he runs through the sign quickly, and we don’t have time to grab that luck by the tail. But in the second half of the month he slows down, preparing to enter a retro phase. Therefore, Geminis born on June 10 -12 are very lucky: in the second half of September and throughout October Jupiter will be in conjunction with your Sun. You can read about it on the Internet: any astrologer will tell you that Lady Luck is ready to smile on you.
Positivity concerns everyone who has planets in the 21st and 22nd degrees of Gemini. If this is Mars, then success in career/business is possible; if Venus – good material acquisitions; if the Moon – a possible purchase of real estate or simply living in a state of comfort, including emotional.
For those who tremble at mentioning Mercury retrograde (I don’t understand its popularity), let me tell you that Mercury will behave decently in September.
I wish us all to stay afloat.
