Navigating Mars Retrograde: Impacts and Insights

In episode 460 astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock look ahead at the astrological forecast for September 2024. We cover news and events in the first hour, and then at 01:03:00 we start looking at September's astrology. The astrology of September features the beginning of eclipse season, with a lunar eclipse in Pisces taking place in the middle of the month, followed by a solar eclipse in Libra in early October. Early in the month Mars moves into the sign of Cancer, which is important because it will return to this sign after turning retrograde in early November, and thus September marks the beginning of an extremely long Mars transit that will last until the middle of next year. Also notable this month is Pluto returning to Capricorn for its final transit through this sign, with it eventually departing for Aquarius for good in November. The most positive alignment this month is a Venus-Jupiter trine in Libra and Gemini that goes exact around September 14 This episode is available in both audio and video versions below.
