9/2 (Sat)
You can fuel your selfless service to a higher cause with additional inspiration and compassion as Neptune squares Vesta (26°43′ Pisces-Gemini).
9/3 (Sun)
Venus Turns Direct
Venus turns direct today at 9:20 pm EDT (12°12′ Leo). She’s been retrograde since 7/22.
As I wrote in my in-depth Venus retrograde interpretation, Venus retrograde was a great time to contemplate her main themes: relationships, creativity, and money. Now is a great time to start taking action on the insights you gained in these areas.
I also suggested other topics for contemplation, based on Venus’ sign, aspects, and Sabian Symbol. Click here to review these themes so you can take wise action on them now!
9/4 (Mon)
Jupiter Retrograde
Jupiter turns retrograde at 10:11 am EDT (15°34′ Taurus). He’ll turn direct again in about four months, on 12/30 at 9:40 pm (5°34′ Taurus).
As Jupiter starts retracing his steps, it’s a great time to contemplate his themes. Jupiter has more meanings than any other planet, so pick the ones that carry the most resonance for you:
- Higher education, formal or self-guided, as a student.
- Acting as a professor, philosopher, guru, or other wisdom-giver.
- Foreign travel and influences.
- Religion, philosophy and the meaning of life.
- Living life as a quest or adventure.
- Enjoying celebration, euphoria and enthusiasm!
Endlessly expansive Jupiter is the planet most likely to overdo things, so be careful not to put too many irons in the fire. Jupiter can also falsely believe it has the One True Way, so don’t succumb to “street corner preacher syndrome.”

Warrior Goddess Energized by Outer Planets Kite
You can empower your warrior goddess energy, thanks to Pallas Athena’s Kite with the three outer planets. This soft aspect pattern with Pallas, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto started on 8/19, peaks today (9/4), and ends on 9/19.
Pallas Athena has inspired comic book heroes such as Wonder Woman, Black Widow, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Xena the Warrior Princess. In Greek mythology, Pallas sprang fully armored from Zeus’ forehead.
Pallas Athena can duke it out when she has to, but uses gentler forms of persuasion when possible. Will negotiation, diplomacy, or mediation get the job done? She prefers those to fisticuffs. If stronger assertiveness is needed, she’ll only use the amount of force that’s absolutely necessary.
Sound good? This harmonious, easy-flowing Kite makes it easier for you to nurture these positive Pallas Athena qualities for the next two weeks!
9/6 (Wed)
As noted above, Pallas Athena rules feminine assertiveness, strategy, negotiation, and mediation. You can do all this with greater intuitive guidance and divine empowerment as Neptune opposes Pallas Athena (26°37′ Pisces-Virgo). Neptune can also help you act with more compassion and unconditional love!
This aspect is part of the Kite I interpreted on 9/4.
9/8 (Fri)
Mars Sesquare Uranus
Even a minor hard aspect deserves your attention when it merges the energies of Mars and Uranus!
Today’s Mars-Uranus sesquare (8°1′ Libra-23°1′ Taurus) increases the chance of volatility, chaos, and unpredictability. Steer clear of dangerous people and situations the best you can. On the high side, this is a great time to take immediate action (Mars) on your intuitive hits (Uranus).
With Mars in Libra, relationships and creativity can be energized. Initiate paradigm shifts where needed, and enjoy fresh electricity and inspiration where you’re on track!

9/10 (Sun)
Sun-Outer Planets Kite Begins
A Kite made up of the Sun, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto starts today (9/10), peaks on 9/18 and ends on 9/25.
This harmonious aspect pattern is part of the Virgo New Moon on 9/14. Click here for a full interpretation of this Kite within that New Moon forecast.
Today’s Pluto-Ceres square (28°6′ Capricorn-Libra) fires up the themes shared by these two planets.
One is wealth. As lord of the underworld, Pluto rules valuable things found underground such as minerals, precious gems, oil, and natural gas. Ceres, the grain goddess, rules harvest and abundance.
Wealth can be anything you value, tangible or intangible. Let the universe know what wealth you want so this square can help you receive it!
These two planets also rule trauma and shadow work. Pluto’s underworld is where we bury the pain we’re not willing or able to face. And Ceres is well acquainted with trauma: she mourned inconsolably after her daughter Persephone was abducted by Pluto.
The square aspect can be challenging, and this one might stir up some of your unhealed traumas and challenging emotions. Fortunately, my free Healing Invocation has helped thousands permanently heal trauma with surprising ease and speed. It might help you, too!

9/14 (Thu)
“Gods of Change” Virgo New Moon
A New Moon aspected by all three “gods of change” lines up at 9:40 pm EDT (21°58′ Virgo). Any Virgo New Moon is great for fresh starts in the areas of service, health, and detail work, as well as systems and procedures.
Can you optimize your service to others to make it enjoyable and rewarding for you? Is there anything you can start or energize to improve your health, or improve your support for the well-being of others? Do you have clutter that needs organizing, or systems that could be improved?
Aspects
“Gods of Change” Kite
This New Moon aspects the three astrological “gods of change”: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. In fact, the trines to Uranus and Pluto and opposition to Neptune form a Kite aspect pattern.
First off, with the energy of astrology’s three biggest powerhouses supercharging this lunation, there’s tons of energy to kick off anything you choose. Choose your goals and get in gear!
Each of the outer planets also offers its own special opportunities.
Uranus asks you to step into the unique human expression you came here to embody. Be sure to follow the intuitive hits he sends you, and to serve others using your special gifts and talents you most love to use.
Neptune supports your spiritual awakening practices, and can send you inspired creativity to express into the world. Neptune’s support makes it easier to operate “in the zone” and work with your dreams.
Pluto offers you wealth and power, and makes it easier to dive into shadow work, shamanism, and occult practices. He supports personal transformation of all kinds, and can help you move beyond basic five-senses carnality into the ecstasy of soul-blended eroticism.
Other Aspects
A trine from Jupiter can add expansion, luck, and joy to your New Moon ventures. And a loose conjunction with Pallas Athena can help you stride forward with appropriate assertiveness. Pallas can also help you achieve win-win outcomes through the skillful use of strategy, negotiation, and mediation.

9/15 (Fri)
Mercury Direct
Mercury turns direct today at 4:21 pm EDT (8°0′ Virgo). The winged messenger turned retrograde on 8/23. The coast is now clear to proceed with any major purchases and contract signings you’ve been delaying because of Mercury retrograde.
This is also a great time to start taking action on insights from your Mercury retrograde reflections. The suggested topics for contemplation in my Mercury retrograde forecast were based on Mercury’s natal meanings, as well as its sign and aspects as it reversed course. To review them, click here.
