9/1 (Mon)

Saturn Revisits Pisces

Saturn retrogrades back into Pisces for a six-and-a-half-month farewell tour at 4:06 am EDT. He’ll return to Aries on 2/13/26. (Saturn spent over two years in Pisces, 3/7/23 through 5/24/25.)

This rekindles several wonderful opportunities!

Law of Attraction

Pisces represents imagination and visualization. Saturn represents physical crystallization. This is the perfect combination for making your dreams come true!

For more on how to do this, see my post: The Law of Attraction Made Simple.

Embodied Awakening

Pisces represents spiritual awakening, while Saturn represents physical embodiment. Embodied awakening radically improves everything in your life!

The basic attributes of embodied awakening include:

1. More harmony, flow, ease, and grace,
2. Doing everything you’re responsible for more responsibly and joyfully,
3. Better intuition and less need for laborious mental decisions, and
4. Full-body euphoria!

For more on embodied awakening, watch my free invocation video. Or read my #1 Amazon bestseller: Instant Divine Assistance: Your Complete Guide to Fast and Easy Spiritual Awakening, Healing, and More.

Conscious Dissolution

In this context, Saturn represents existing structures, while Neptune represents the ones that don’t serve highest good being dissolved. It’s important to clear away whatever has outlived its usefulness. This makes room for better things to replace them!

Creative Accomplishment

Pisces represents inspired creativity, while Saturn represents its concrete manifestation.

It’s enjoyable to play out a creative inspiration in your mind. But it can be even more wonderful to manifest it into the world so it can enrich and benefit others! This is easier with Saturn in Pisces.

Pitfalls

Any astrological alignment can be used positively or negatively. With Saturn in Pisces, I recommend avoiding these detrimental expressions:

• Using escapism to avoid challenges.
• Using an abundance of ideas as an excuse not to act on any of them.
• Excessive isolation.
• Repressing spiritual awakening or inspired creativity.

Energy follows attention. Make the best use of Saturn’s farewell tour of Pisces by focusing on Law of Attraction, embodied awakening, conscious dissolution, and/or creative accomplishment!

Mars Sesquare Uranus

Also on 9/1, use today’s intense Mars-Uranus sesquare (16°27′ Libra-1°27′ Gemini) mindfully!

On the challenging side, this aspect can be chaotic and destabilizing. Mars’ warlike tendencies can strike violently and unexpectedly. Steer clear of dangerous people and situations as much as possible.

On the high side, this sesquare can energize you to act on your intuitive hits immediately. You can take ingenious, inspired action as a warrior, pioneer, sexual being, or entrepreneur. And you can boldly show the world your truest self.

Mars is in Libra, helping you be proactive in your relationships and creativity. You can use Uranus’ electrifying energy by embracing your unique talents, then serving the world with them in whatever ways delight you most.

And trust the extra intuitive hits you’ll be getting. They come from your higher self, and are the most reliable guidance a human can receive!

---

Selfless Service Cradle

Finally on 9/1, your selfless service to a higher cause is potently energized by a Cradle that started on 8/30, peaks on 9/17, and ends on 10/4. 

Selfless service is represented by Vesta, who’s receiving potent energies from Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. (As well as Saturn through 10/1.) You can use this Cradle to help make the world a better place!

9/2 (Tue)

Healing and Wisdom-Sharing Boosted by New T-Square

A new T-Square amplifies healing and wisdom-sharing for the next three weeks. It starts today (9/2), peaks on 9/12, and ends on 9/24. It includes Mars, Jupiter, and Chiron.

Chiron, the wounded healer, sets the main theme. In its easier expression, your work as a healer and wisdom giver can be potently empowered! Jupiter also supports sharing higher wisdom, so this theme gets bonus support.

But most people seem to experience Chiron’s other main theme more strongly: emotional healing. Mars, a potent catalyzing planet, could trigger situations that stir up some of your unhealed trauma.

If so, there’s a much easier way to permanently heal it than most people realize. The secret is to have your higher self do it for you! Your human self just passively feels the healing as it happens.

This quick and easy technique has worked for thousands of people for 14+ years. Click to learn more about this free Healing Invocation.

Peaking T-Square Boosts Abundance

Abundance enjoys expansive support thanks to a T-Square with Mars, Ceres, and Jupiter. It started on 8/17, peaks today (9/2), and ends on 9/12.

Prosperity is supported by Ceres, the grain goddess associated with harvest and abundance. Jupiter supports limitless expansion, and is ancient astrology’s lucky Great Benefic. Finally, Mars in Libra energizes all this with balance and harmony.

Challenges may stand between you and this abundance, since a T-Square is a hard aspect pattern. This may involve the triggering of old emotional wounds, represented by Ceres. (She was traumatized by Pluto’s abduction of her daughter Persephone.) If so, make use of your best shadow work technique.

Whatever your challenges, remember the Mars motto “Fortune favors the bold!”

9/2 (Tue) & 9/3 (Wed)

Mercury Aspects All 3 Outers & Saturn Within 24 Hours

Mercury aspects all three outer planets plus Saturn within 24 hours. This massively boosts your ability to learn, write, teach and communicate!

Mercury is in Virgo for most of these aspects. This gives you more ability to use your mental skills in service, focus on health matters, and take things to the next level of refinement.

Here are the particulars:

• 9/2, 8:21 am EDT: Mercury quincunx Saturn (29°55′ Leo-Pisces)
• 9/3, 1:44 am EDT: Mercury quincunx Neptune (1°18′ Virgo-Aries)
• 9/3, 3:40 am EDT: Mercury square Uranus (1°27′ Virgo-Gemini)
• 9/3, 3:40 am EDT: Mercury quincunx Pluto (1°43′ Virgo-Aquarius)

---

9/4 (Thu)

Mars Square Jupiter

You can take life-affirming action as a warrior, pioneer, sexual being, or entrepreneur, thanks to a Mars-Jupiter square (18°35′ Libra-Cancer). With Mars in Libra, you can also enjoy amplified energy for your relationships and creative expression.

Beware that this square doesn’t activate Mars’ darker impulses. These can include destructive impulsiveness, inappropriate anger, harmful sexual activity, or violence.

---

9/5 (Fri)

Peaking Support for Life-Purposeful Committed Partnerships

Any committed partnership that aligns with your life purpose enjoys harmonious support, thanks to a Kite that started on 7/28, peaks today (9/5), and ends on 9/17. This flowing aspect pattern includes Juno, Jupiter, and the lunar nodes.

Most people initially think of committed partnership as romantic. But a committed partnership could also be personal or business-related.

The asteroid goddess Juno rules committed partnership. In Scorpio, she encourages you to open to new depths of honesty and authenticity with these important people. To what degree can you share all the parts of your personality with your committed partner, even the parts that make you uncomfortable?

Scorpio is also the sign of sacred sex. If you’re in an erotic relationship, how deeply can you connect not only your bodies, but your souls?

Bonus Opportunity

Vesta joined this Kite on 7/28 and remains a temporary member through 9/5. As she conjoins Juno, she wonders if you and your committed partner can offer selfless service to a worthy cause. Any ideas?

---

Venus Quintile Uranus

Also on Friday, September 5, your relationships, creativity, and finances can enjoy a magical boost with Venus quintile Uranus (13°27′ Leo-1°27′ Gemini).

A quintile is a fairy dust aspect that enhances divine support and creative inspiration. Uranus can bring rapid and unexpected change, and can send intuitive hits to guide you.

This aspect also makes it easier to move in exciting new directions with your relating, artistry, and money!

---

9/6 (Sat)

Uranus Retrograde

Uranus turns retrograde at 12:51 am EDT (1°27′ Gemini). Our strangest planet will turn direct again on 2/3 (27°27′ Taurus).

Outer planet retrogrades affect us a lot less than the retrogrades of the personal planets Mercury, Venus, and Mars. But it can still be helpful to reflect on Uranian themes as the Lord of Eccentricity starts backpedaling.

How completely are you embracing what’s unique or different about yourself? And how avidly are you sharing those special gifts and talents with the world? Is it more important to avoid possible criticism from those who don’t understand you, or is it time to put yourself out there so you can reach those you’re here to serve?

Uranus rules intuitive hits. When you get these “gut feelings,” do you follow or ignore them?

I’ve asked hundreds of my clients about this. They all say their lives go better when they follow these sparks of inspiration from their inner wisdom. How about you?

Are you working for the greater good, at least for your kindred spirits? And is your service aligned with those special gifts and talents you most love to use?

Uranus is turning retrograde at 1°27′ Gemini. This degree number is also being potently aspected by the two other “gods of change.” To learn more about how the combined power of these three outer planets is potently affecting the world (and you), click here!

9/7 (Sun)

Lunar Eclipse in Pisces

There’s a total Lunar Eclipse at 2:09 pm EDT (15°22′ Pisces). This is the longest total lunar eclipse since 2022. The totality of this Blood Moon will be visible from Australia, Asia, Africa, and Europe.

Any Pisces Full Moon is great for release or adjustment in several areas. These include spiritual awakening, inspired creativity, and living in flow state. You can also focus on dream work and experiencing greater unconditional love and compassion.

Focusing on these life-affirming Pisces expressions can help you avoid this sign’s danger zones. These include substance abuse, addiction, aimless drifting, and playing the victim.

Aspects

The Sun and Moon are less than 3° from the lunar nodes. This tight orb (exactness) boosts this eclipse’s potency.

Mercury and Jupiter

The Moon opposes Mercury. This boosts the winged messenger’s themes of learning, writing, teaching, and communication.

Mercury is both dignified and exalted in Virgo, making this its strongest sign placement! This pumps up its power, and can increase your linguistic mastery and precision.

This eclipse’s communication theme is further amplified by a Moon-Jupiter trine. Jupiter represents advanced learning, or holding forth as a professor, philosopher, guru, or other wisdom giver. Jupiter also rules religion, philosophy, and the meaning of life.

Jupiter is in Cancer, the sign of his exaltation. This increases his potency and lets you more easily stir people’s hearts with your messages.

Pluto and Ceres

The Moon makes tight minor aspects to Pluto (semi-square) and the asteroid goddess Ceres (semi-sextile).

Both planets can help enhance your wealth. This is true for Pluto because he rules the underworld, home of valuable resources such as oil, gemstones, and minerals. Ceres is the grain goddess, associated with harvest and abundance.

These planets can also support your trauma healing. Pluto rules things below the surface, where we bury our emotional pain until we’re ready to heal it. Ceres was deeply traumatized when Pluto abducted her daughter Persephone, so she’s also associated with shadow work.

These eclipse energies might stir up some of your unhealed emotional pain. If so, consider trying my free Healing Invocation. It has helped thousands heal emotional pain with surprising ease and speed!

In fact, emotional challenge could also be catalyzed by this eclipse’s final aspect: a Venus quincunx. Venus represents relationships, and the 150° quincunx calls for adjustment.

The type of adjustment depends on whether a relationship is awesome, awful, or mixed. For insights on identifying and working with these different kinds of relationships, click here.

Sabian Symbol

This Lunar Eclipse’s Sabian Symbol is, “In a quiet moment, a creative individual experiences the flow of inspiration.” (This is one of the rare Sabian Symbols that precisely matches the meaning of its sign.)

This symbol’s message is simple and clear: make time to open to your muse and express your creativity!

9/9 (Tue)

Wounded Healer T-Square Starts

Your healing opportunities are potently catalyzed by a T-Square with Mars, Chiron, and Pluto. This intense aspect pattern starts today (9/9), peaks on 9/20, and ends on 9/30. (The intensity rises to new heights during its final week, after Mars enters Scorpio on 9/23.)

Chiron and Pluto both support shadow work: facing and healing leftover emotional pain. As usual, I invite you to try my free Healing Invocation for a quick, easy, and effective way to clear old traumas once and for all.

You could even use this aspect pattern for sexual healing, since Mars and Pluto are the two main planets representing sexuality. And Chiron is in Aries, the sign most associated with sex.

Are you serving others as a healer or wisdom giver? if so, your work can be potently energized by this T-Square!

---

9/12 (Fri)

T-Square Peaks

The T-Square with Mars, Jupiter, and Chiron that started on 9/2 peaks today (9/12) and ends on 9/24.

---

9/12 (Fri) & 9/13 (Sat)

Three Communication Aspects

One of the main themes of the 9/7 lunar eclipse is reinforced by three aspects on two consecutive days. They involve the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter.

These aspects can harmoniously boost your ability to learn, write, teach, and communicate. They are:

• 9/12: Sun sextile Jupiter (19°48′ Virgo-Cancer)
• 9/12: Mercury sextile Jupiter (19°53′ Virgo-Cancer)
• 9/13: Sun conjunct Mercury (20°54′ Virgo)

Using your mental abilities to serve others is further supported by the Sun and Mercury’s placement in Virgo. This sign’s energy can also be health-supporting, and help you lift anything you’re doing closer to perfection. And Jupiter’s placement in Cancer can help your words be more emotionally compelling!

---

9/13 (Sat)

Sun-Focused Kite

You can powerfully and harmoniously embody the energy of the outer planets and Saturn, thanks to a Kite that starts today (9/13), peaks on 9/23, and ends on 9/30. It includes the Sun, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. There’s so much potent vitality here that you can supercharge just about anything you do!

However, you’ll get extra support if you focus on activities based on the Sun’s sign placement. The Sun is in Virgo until 9/22 at 2:19 pm EDT, supporting service, healing, and detail work. The Sun is in Libra after that, energizing creativity and relationships.

This Kite also gives you three extra days of support, without Saturn, through 10/3.

---

Healing of Committed Partnerships “Fingered”

A new “Finger of God” (Yod) emphasizes the healing of committed partnerships. It includes the Sun, Juno, and Chiron. It starts today (9/13), peaks on 9/18, and ends on 9/23. 

The Sun is in Virgo, the sign of healing. Juno is in Scorpio, the sign associated with psychology and buried trauma. And Chiron is the wounded healer!

Don’t be surprised if challenge flares up in your committed partnerships. (These could be romantic, platonic, or business-focused.) For the greatest chances of a harmonious resolution, consider using the 4-Part Nonviolent Communication (NVC) Process with your partner.

To clear old emotional wounds stirred up by this conflict, thousands have found my free Healing Invocation to be highly effective.

---

9/14 (Sun)

10-Day Mental Boost

You can enjoy sharper mental powers for 10 days, thanks to a Kite with Mercury, Saturn, and the outer planets. 

This enhanced support for your learning, writing, teaching, and communication starts today (9/14), peaks on 9/19, and ends on 9/23. Put the pedal to the mental!

---

9/15 (Mon)

Venus Sextile Mars

Your important relationships can enjoy a harmonious boost as Venus sextiles Mars. This energizing aspect can also kick start your creativity and support your financial well-being.

Venus’ placement in Leo can help you relate with others as a leader or entertainer. If you’re an artist, it can be a great time to share your creative output with the world! (This is also supported by Mars’ placement in Libra.)

It’s inspiring to end the first half of September on this upbeat note!

---
