9/1 (Sat). Clear communication could be a challenge as September opens, but the interface between human mind and divine consciousness is ready to connect.

9/3 (Mon). It's a good time to reality-check your relationships, creative output and finances. If challenges arise in any of these areas, try to address them in a spirit of maturity and accountability.

At the same time, these planetary forces can supercharge your sex drive, or energize your forays into the occult, psychology, research. Also stay open to positive transformation in your committed romantic relationship, if you have one. Healing and wise counsel may be more easily available as you work through any partnership issues.

9/4 (Tue). Accidents are more likely now. Exercise an extra measure of caution, but also stay open to making the adjustments needed to take quick action on your intuitive flashes. Just make sure that your impulses are being prompted by your intuition and not your ego.

It's a fantastic day for inspired mental work, especially if you follow intuitive detours rather than sticking rigidly to schedule. You'll have plenty of energy to take care of all those menial tasks that have piled up -- when you're not tending to those sudden flashes of insight.

9/5 (Wed). Yesterday's mental stimulation keeps on rolling. With Mars involved, just try not to think exclusively about sex!

9/6 (Thu). While the opportunity for the harmonious spiritual healing of old wounds has been strong for months already – and remains strong for many months to come – the energy is especially potent now. Shamanic work and spiritual apprenticeship also get a power boost.

Today thru 10/3, there's great energy for putting your creative efforts out there to edify or entertain others. This can also be “drama queen” energy, so try not to let your ego buy into the idea that "all the world's a stage" in your relationship behavior.


9/7 (Fri). Enhanced energy for service and healing is available. Just don't bite off more than you can chew.

Don't let your relationship judgment be clouded, or put your beloved on a pedestal. But do strive to merge more fully with the divine essence underlying another's human facade. You can also fire up a major creative download.

9/8 (Sat). While this is a fantastic time for fast-lane mental processing, it can also lead to Motormouth Syndrome. Don't become excessively critical of yourself or others.

9/10 (Mon). The mental effects described on 9/8 will become even more pronounced today.

9/11 (Tue). Any issues that need healing in the realms of relationship, creativity and/or finance are up for transformation. This effect peaks on 9/12 and fades out on 9/14.

9/13 (Thu). It's easier to receive intuitive flashes. Paradigm shift in relationships, creativity and finances is also easier now.

9/15 (Sat). September's New Moon comes exact at 10:38 PM (23°37' Virgo). New beginnings in health, win/win service, methods and procedures are supported The gathering and sharing of information is also energized.

The
Sabian Symbol for this New Moon is, “Mary and her white lamb.” This obviously refers to the well-known nursery rhyme. However, not everyone knows its final two stanzas: “'Why does the lamb love Mary so?' / the eager children cry. / 'Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know.' / the teacher did reply.” This describes how some Virgos operate: If I show my love by serving you, you'll love me too. However, this can turn into voluntary servitude, with the Virgo not ”getting as good as they give.” Under this Virgo New Moon, consider examining your key relationships for equitably and fairness.

9/16 (Sun). You may notice increased libido about now, while adjustments may be called for in the deepest realms of the psyche. Appropriate flexibility may also reap rewards in the areas of research, investigation, occult practice, and committed romantic partnership.

Now through 10/5, you can enjoy easier communication in all of your important relationships – romantic and platonic. Creative expression, especially of the written and spoken variety, also get a boost.

Open-mindedness will serve you well now through 9/25, as intuitive flashes strive to rewire new concepts into your thinking. Stay especially open to paradigm shifts in the areas of relationship, creativity and finance.

9/17 (Mon). If you're feeling a bit fuzzy-headed, consider it an opportunity to rely less on logic and more on intuition.

9/18 (Tue). Pluto, retrograde since 4/10, turns direct today at 6°57' Capricorn. A planetary retrograde is ideal for reflection and planning, while it can mark the time to put your plan into action when it turns direct. Thus, getting in gear with emotional and psychological release work, occult activities, and transformation of all kinds is supported as Pluto moves forward. If something has outlived its usefulness, give it an appreciative send-off and clear space for its replacement.

9/19 (Wed). The most powerful astrological event of the decade – actually a series of seven events that started this year and extends into 2015 – hits another peak today. The second exact iteration of the Uranus-Pluto square brings the energy of revolutionary transformation into mass consciousness. Uranus calls us to rebel against that which no longer serves the highest good of all, blossom into the unique being we incarnated to become, and serve the collective with our special gifts and talents. Pluto asks us to release everything which has outlived its usefulness. And if you make acting upon your inner intuitive guidance your way of life, rather than striving for personal control, you will become the conduit for more power than you can possibly imagine. (Shades of Obi-Wan Kenobi!)

During the next few years, remember that every structure we observe breaking down around us creates an opportunity for something more enlightened to replace it. But why not start now instead of waiting for a massive breakdown? As Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

9/20 (Thu). The Uranus-Pluto square gets a significant power boost the day after coming exact. Also, be open to life-affirming adjustments in your relationships, creativity and finances, and stay open to the new openings that healing and mentoring work can make possible. Finally, there's an amplification of the relational and creative impacts already described, along with an empowerment of creative expression and relational joy.

9/21 (Fri). Stay open to new practical inspirations in your relationships, creative expression and finances

Starting today, peaking on 9/29 and wrapping on 10/7, a planetary aspect pattern positively energizes and challenges relationship and creativity. Your optimal strategy: follow your intuitive flashes, stay open to paradigm shift, and release absolutely everything, on all levels, that no longer serves your evolution.

9/22 (Sat). The Sun enters Libra today, triggering the Fall Equinox at 10:49 AM. Soak in the energies of beauty, creativity, justice and harmonious relating.

9/23 (Sun). Got altered states? You might crave them about now. Rather than overdoing the drugs, alcohol, or other escapist activities, consider invoking the bliss of divine immersion, or calling in your Muse for some creative inspiration.

9/24 (Mon). Two rare astrological events appear simultaneously today, peak tomorrow and fade on 9/27. These energies can challenge relationships to evolve to the next level.

If relationship conflict is sparked, take a deep breath, remember that you are not your emotions, and examine what healing is being called for – especially within yourself. Be mindful of heightened volatility: with an increased possibility of accidents, proceed with appropriate caution. Sex is energized – with adventurous experimentation on the menu – and so is creativity that boldly goes where you've never taken it before.

9/26 (Wed). All things mental are stimulated today, and creative expression also gets a boost.

9/27 (Thu). Today's sky energy can trigger relationship challenge – which can highlight exactly those areas you can work to heal as a couple. This can also energize creative industriousness and performance sparkle.

9/28 (Fri). Relationship healing remains in the spotlight, thanks to the prominent archetypal energy of the Wounded Healer.

9/29 (Sat). Another powerful aspect pattern kicks off today. As it runs its course, peaking on 10/2 and ending on 10/9, be careful not to over-idealize your key relationships. Deception and misunderstanding in relationship are also possible. On the high side, the ability to perceive and merge with the divine being behind others' human facades is powerfully enhanced, and creative inspiration also gets a healthy boost.

Full Moons don't get much more intense than the one illuminating the sky at 11:19 PM (7°22' Aries). For starters, the Moon is in Aries, the fiery sign of sexuality, new beginnings, independent action and the warrior. It's a great time for any new beginnings you're ready to kick off in any of these areas.

But what makes this Full Moon so powerful is that
the Moon conjuncts Uranus, and Pluto squares the Sun and Moon. This lends tremendous power and volatility to this lunation. Rereading the 9/19 entry about the Uranus/Pluto square will remind you how this energy of revolutionary transformation operates. It's an amazing energy under which to kick off new initiatives – just be sure to strap in for a wild ride!

The
Sabian Symbol for this Full Moon is, “A woman's hat with streamers blown by the east wind.” This image is very timely, since the east wind is often associated with destruction. And the destruction of that which has outlived its usefulness is a primary function of the Uranus-Pluto square aspecting this Full Moon. Woman represents receptivity – gracefully accepting that whose time has come – and the streamers use the east wind to create beautiful movement. So this symbol can represent the graceful acceptance of change: an optimal strategy in these turbulent times.
