Overview of September 2024 Astrology
The episode discusses the astrological events for September 2024, highlighting key alignments and transitions. The primary focus is on an upcoming lunar eclipse in Pisces, occurring on September 17, which marks the start of the eclipse season. This period will also include the solar eclipse in Libra on October 2, coming after the Pisces eclipse. Throughout September, attributes associated with Mars also take center stage, particularly as Mars transitions into Cancer and remains influential in various astrological contexts.
Significant Astrological Events
The episode outlines several prominent planetary alignments for September, including the retrograde of Pluto back into Capricorn on September 1 and the new moon in Virgo on September 2. Notably, outer planet alignments will take place, notably the Sun opposing Saturn on September 8, accentuating themes of responsibility and structure. Mercury's transition into Virgo also highlights its own significations, allowing for a clearer processing of information and communication. This foundational month sets the stage for the transformations anticipated from the upcoming eclipses.
Mars' Influence and Retrograde Preparation
Mars enters Cancer on September 4, marking a significant shift as it prepares for its long retrograde cycle starting in December. This transition indicates a buildup of emotions and themes related to home and family, potentially bringing challenges tied to vulnerability. Mars is also poised to affect various global events as well as personal affairs, prompting individuals to navigate their emotional triggers cautiously. Understanding the emotional landscape during this period will be essential for managing impulsive reactions.
Tension in Current Events
The episode discusses how recent events reflect the larger astrological dynamics, particularly through the lens of a mutable T-square involving Mars, Saturn, Venus, and Jupiter. Several news stories from August showed a mix of fears and realities—initial crises that did not fully materialize, highlighting the unexpected outcomes of the planetary alignments. The discussed tensions indicate that while challenges persist, there is an underlying dynamic balancing potentially extreme outcomes. Navigating the intervening periods requires vigilance as one interprets both global events and personal circumstances.
Mercury Retrograde Effects
Mercury's retrograde in Virgo brings about significant communication challenges and the revisiting of past issues, especially in financial and legal matters. Key events, like the abrupt drop in stock markets and various judgments against major corporations, coincide with Mercury's transit. This period emphasizes the potential for misinterpretations and misunderstandings, necessitating careful thought and deliberation. The Mercury retrograde serves as a reminder of the critical need for precision in communication and decision-making.
Eclipses and Major Changes
Eclipse season is positioned to bring notable shifts and transformations, particularly with the Pisces eclipse in mid-September. The lunar eclipse indicates significant endings and beginnings, especially pronounced for individuals with placements in the mutable signs. Continued themes from previous Libra and Aries eclipses may emerge, as the energy stimulates dialogues surrounding political movements and social change. Eclipses often herald sudden developments and moments of clarity amid chaos, calling for reflection and adaptation.
Venus in Libra and Favorable Aspects
The favorable aspect of Venus trining Jupiter around September 14 marks a highlight of the month, providing an uplifting backdrop before the chaos of the eclipses. This configuration enhances partnership and collaborative efforts, fostering a sense of optimism as Venus navigates its home sign of Libra. However, this beneficial energy must be harnessed carefully as Venus shifts into Scorpio towards the end of the month, which may bring additional emotional complexities. The interplay between these energies heralds significant relational dynamics that can further evolve through the eclipse season.
Rising Tensions and Future Predictions
As the month progresses toward the eclipses, the astrological alignments suggest an increase in tensions and conflicts both globally and personally. The approaching Libra eclipse is set against the backdrop of ongoing societal debates and challenges in personal relationships. The convergence of personal and global narratives reflects the overarching themes of Mars, Pluto, and the nodal axes engaging with the eclipses. Observers are advised to stay alert to potential upheaval, as the transition may bring unpredictable changes.
Anticipating the Cusp of Change
The episode wraps up with a look ahead to the challenges and transformations expected as September evolves into October, emphasizing the need to be adaptable. Preparations for the upcoming eclipses and their effects are crucial, as they could set the tone for the following weeks and months. Continuous self-reflection and awareness of the surrounding shifts will be key for managing the intense energy released during this period. Ultimately, having a grasp on one's own emotional landscape will facilitate navigating the inevitable changes ushered in by the eclipses.
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
