One of 2019’s most important aspects – a Jupiter-Neptune square – is fired up by 4 T-squares in the first half of September. We also have harmonious Mystic Rectangles that energize another of this year’s major aspects: a Saturn-Neptune sextile. Throw in a heavily aspected Pisces Full Moon, and you’ve got a half-month full of opportunity!

9/1 (Sun)
Intuitive flashes just come easier as Mercury trines Uranus (6°26′ Virgo-Taurus). With Mercury in Virgo, these fresh insights might be about service, health or fine-tuning.
Has a difficult issue risen in your relationship? Do you have a creative project that needs some polish? Do you need to make some adjustments in your finances? Harmonious outcomes in all these areas are smoothly supported by a Venus-Saturn trine (14°7′ Virgo-Capricorn).
9/2 (Mon)
Jupiter-Neptune T-squares
The 8/30 New Moon featured all the personal planets in Virgo. On the heels of that, the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars are all making T-squares with Jupiter and Neptune!
First off, the personal planets in these overlapping T-squares add energy to the Jupiter-Neptune square. This square is one of 2019’s most important aspects. It’s been active since the beginning of 2019, will have its third and final peak on 9/21, and will remain in orb until 11/13.
On the high side, the Jupiter-Neptune square energizes religion, spirituality, and creative inspiration. It supports grand idealism and visionary optimism, as well as higher education, intuition and compassion. On the low side, this square could amplify addiction, escapism, aimless wandering and unwise financial speculation.
And that’s just the highlights. For a deeper look, see my 6/16 interpretation of the Jupiter-Neptune square.
All these personal planets are in Virgo during their T-squares. This supports service and/or devotion to your spiritual path, as well as a carefully considered approach to optimizing it. And there’s plenty of energy to edit and refine your creative projects.
Jupiter and Neptune can also give you enthusiasm, flow and inspiration for any type of service, refinement, or health-promoting activity.
We’ve now considered what these four T-squares have in common. Now let’s discern their differences!
Venus-Jupiter-Neptune
Inspired creativity on steroids! That’s one way you can milk the most from the Venus-Jupiter-Neptune T-square that started on 8/27, peaks on 9/3 and ends on 9/11. Painting, music, acting, writing – however your Muse lights you up, this T-square can support anything from the initial rough draft to the final refinement of your masterpiece.
You can also take this T-square into more spiritual territory. It’s happy to amplify the relationship between you and your spiritual bodies. (Here’s a free, quick and easy way to integrate your human self and your higher self.)
Mars-Jupiter-Neptune
Mars-Jupiter-Neptune, the longest-lasting T-square, started on 8/30, peaks on 9/12 and ends on 9/22. Here are three life-affirming ways you could use this powerful aspect pattern:
- The enthusiastic merging of intellect and intuition to energize life-enhancing learning or teaching
- Adventurous service to others, inspired by intuition and refined by intellect
- Serving in a foreign environment for a compassionate cause
This T-square can also go into darker territory: impulsively indulging in excessive substance abuse, escapism, aimlessness or martyrdom.
Have any of these tempted or captured you? If so, put your attention on any of the three prior interpretations to give this challenging energy something better to do. If your own willpower isn’t enough to extract you, don’t hesitate to seek help from others.
Sun-Jupiter-Neptune
The Sun-Jupiter-Neptune T-square starts today (9/2), peaks on 9/9 and ends on 9/16. This supports stepping out as a leader or entertainer – but in the spirit of service, and with an appropriate level of humility. Shining your light in the areas of religion, spirituality or inspired creativity is especially supported.
Mercury-Jupiter-Neptune
This is the most fleeting of the four T-squares, as befits the god with wings on his ankles! This T-square supports a systematic and inspired approach to learning, or sharing your knowledge with others. Of course, there’s special support for previously mentioned themes like religion, spirituality and creativity. This Mercury-Jupiter-Neptune T-square starts today (9/2), peaks on 9/6 and ends on 9/10.
Sun-Mercury-Venus-Mars-Jupiter-Neptune
Finally, there’s a Super T-square that includes all four of these personal planets! This Sun-Mercury-Venus-Mars-Jupiter-Neptune T-square starts today (9/2), peaks on 9/6 and ends on 9/10. This is a potent field of opportunity, so take whatever excites you from the other T-square interpretations and run with it!

Mystic Rectangle Peaks: Venus-Saturn-Neptune-Lunar Nodes
A harmonious Mystic Rectangle started on 8/28, peaks today (9/2) and ends on 9/7. It includes Venus, Saturn, Neptune and the lunar nodes. This Mystic Rectangle provides an extraordinary window of opportunity for inspired creativity, embodied awakening and Law of Attraction manifestation – especially if what you’re calling forth aligns with your soul purpose.
P.S. The Virgoan Sun adds energy to this aspect pattern 8/31 through 9/7.
A Sun-Mars conjunction (9°41′ Virgo) can fire up physical vitality, leadership and sexuality. Its placement in Virgo helps you be meticulous, and encourages win-win outcomes.
On its own, a Venus-Jupiter square (15°14′ Virgo-Sagittarius) amplifies relationships, creativity and finance. This aspect is part of a Venus-Jupiter-Neptune T-square – see that interpretation to understand this square in its larger context.
Is there some adjustment you could make to enhance your abundance, even if it’s radical? Would you like to heal those challenging emotions that come up once and for all, instead of having them endlessly pester you?
Both these opportunities can respond to the right adjustment with Uranus quincunx Ceres (6°25′ Taurus-Sagittarius). If you don’t already know what to do, dare to think outside the box. And stay receptive to any intuitive flashes Uranus sends down!
9/3 (Tue)
T-square peaks: Venus-Jupiter-Neptune
The Venus-Jupiter-Neptune T-square that started on 8/27 peaks today (9/3) and ends on 9/11.
Mercury is part of two personal planet conjunctions today – both in Virgo, of course: a Mercury-Mars conjunction (10°27′ Virgo) and a Sun-Mercury conjunction (11°15′ Virgo). Taken together, these conjunctions can seriously fire up your learning and communication, and make your mental activities more precise and service-focused.
9/4 (Wed)
On its own, a Venus-Neptune opposition (17°28′ Virgo-Pisces) can stimulate inspired creativity, as well as enhanced perception of the divine energy in you … and everything else! To dive deeper into its meaning, read about the Venus-Jupiter-Neptune T-square that includes this aspect.
9/5 (Thu)
Grand Trine Begins: Juno-Saturn-Uranus-South Node
You have a special three-week opportunity to improve your committed partnerships, thanks to a Grand Trine that includes Juno, Saturn, Uranus and the South Node. It starts today (9/5), peaks on 9/16 and ends on 9/28.
Let Uranus lead with its intuitive flashes – those sudden insights where you just “know it in your bones.” No flashes? Then think outside the box, daring to contemplate bold new relationship improvement strategies. (One of my favorites is the 4-Part Nonviolent Communication Process.) Make sure that both your soul purposes are truly served by these changes (Juno in Virgo, South Node of the Moon).
Once you’ve captured a strategy, call on Saturn to craft it into a well-structured plan … and stick to it unless a change is clearly called for.

9/6 (Fri)
T-squares Peak
Two T-squares that started on 9/2 peak today and end on 9/10: the Mercury-Jupiter-Neptune T-square and the Sun-Mercury-Venus-Mars-Jupiter-Neptune Super T-square.
All things mental light up with Mercury square Jupiter (15°30′ Virgo-Sagittarius). With Mercury in Virgo, you can express yourself with enhanced precision.
You can grind out the work – but in a smooth, harmonious flow – with the Sun trine Saturn (14°0′ Virgo-Capricorn). This aspect can also make it easier to focus on service and health.
Transformation can be easier in your relationships, creativity and finances with Venus trine Pluto (20°47′ Virgo-Capricorn).
9/7 (Sat)
Today’s Uranus-Juno trine (6°20′ Taurus-Virgo) is part of the Juno-Saturn-Uranus-South Node Grand Trine that started on 9/5. Read that interpretation to learn about this aspect in its larger context.
On its own, a Mercury-Neptune opposition can open the flow of intuitive knowing … or just confuse you! To learn more about the larger context this aspect is operating in – a Mercury-Jupiter-Neptune T-square – click here.
9/8 (Sun)
Unto itself, a Sun-Jupiter square (15°41′ Virgo-Sagittarius) can expand your vitality and joy. Reading about the aspect pattern this square is part of – a Sun-Jupiter-Neptune T-square – can help you understand its full potential.
Would you rather have intellectual empowerment or mental transformation? Just kidding about having to choose – you can enjoy both with Mercury trine Pluto (20°46′ Virgo-Capricorn).
9/9 (Mon)
T-square Begins: Ceres-Juno-Jupiter-Neptune
Committed partnership is in the spotlight for over six weeks, thanks to T-square featuring Ceres, Juno, Jupiter and Neptune. This intense aspect pattern starts today (9/9), peaks on 10/3 and ends on 10/24.
Juno, the asteroid goddess of committed partnership, is in Virgo. This invites you to examine the health of your enduring relationships, and analyze how they can be improved. (The 4-Part Nonviolent Communication Process could be a good start.) Both partners can also remember that one of the best ways to feel better is to help someone else! Optimally, such service is joyfully given and serves the highest good of all.
If a committed partnership is harmonious, Neptune’s opposition to Juno will give the partners creative inspiration and blended bliss. If there’s challenge, Neptune could tempt one or both partners into substance abuse, escapism, apathy or a victim/perpetrator relationship.
Jupiter’s square to Juno will, first and foremost, amplify whatever’s already happening. If there’s challenge, it will be intensified. But Jupiter will also take any opportunity to inundate you both with as much joy, euphoria and celebration as you can receive!
Ceres is conjunct Jupiter and also squares Juno. Like Jupiter and Neptune, Ceres can also play both sides of the street. If it would serve the highest good of either partner to heal some sorrow, Ceres will bring it up. (My free Healing Invocation is a quick and easy technique that has helped many people with their shadow work.) As the grain goddess, Ceres can also bring the energies of harvest and abundance into your committed partnership.
In short, this T-square focuses a lot of energy into committed partnership early September through late October. It’s a great time for the two of you to heal what needs healing and celebrate what’s wonderful!
T-square Peaks: Sun-Jupiter-Neptune
The Sun-Jupiter-Neptune T-square that started on 9/2 peaks today (9/9) and ends on 9/16.
You can keep your productivity beating like the Energizer Bunny’s drum with Mars trine Saturn (13°58′ Virgo-Capricorn). This can also lend stability and structure to your leadership, athletics and entrepreneurship.
9/10 (Tue)
Embodied awakening and Law of Attraction manifestation are energized by a Sun-Neptune opposition (17°18′ Virgo-Pisces). This aspect also supports unconditional love and compassion. An extra layer of meaning is added by the aspect pattern that includes this opposition: a Sun-Jupiter-Neptune T-square.
9/11 (Wed)
Strategy. Diplomacy. Politics. Negotiation. These are some of the strengths of warrior goddess Pallas Athena. A Uranus-Pallas opposition (6°14′ Taurus-Scorpio) can help you take these qualities to the next level. Remember: Pallas Athena would rather negotiate a win-win solution than fight!
9/12 (Thu)
Mystic Rectangle Peaks: Mars-Saturn-Neptune-Lunar Nodes
The Mystic Rectangle that started on 8/31 peaks today (9/12) and ends on 9/22. This aspect pattern includes Mars, Saturn, Neptune and the lunar nodes.
This flowing, harmonious aspect pattern supports energized and carefully crafted Law of Attraction work that aligns with your soul purpose. It can also fire up compassionate, energetic, soul-aligned service to others, empowered by embodied awakening.
P.S. The Virgo Sun adds vitality to this aspect pattern 8/31 through 9/16.
By itself, a Mars-Jupiter square can amplify the energies of the warrior, pioneer, entrepreneur and sexual being. This aspect is also part of a Mars-Jupiter-Neptune T-square – read that interpretation to go deeper!
9/13 (Fri)
T-square Peaks: Mars-Jupiter-Neptune
Mars, Jupiter and Neptune form the most enduring of the current crop of Jupiter-Neptune T-squares. It started on 8/30, peaks today (9/12) and ends on 9/22. Click here for its interpretation.
Creative writing and harmonious communication – or the refinement thereof – are supported by a Mercury-Venus conjunction at 28°50′ Virgo.
Could you benefit from some transformative healing? It’s easier to achieve with a Sun-Pluto trine (20°43′ Virgo-Capricorn). This aspect could also empower your service and detail work.
9/14 (Sat)
Pisces Full Moon
A Full Moon shines forth at 12:33 AM EDT (21°5′ Pisces). Any Pisces Full Moon is great for adjustment or release in the areas of spirituality, inspired creativity and compassion. It’s also a good time to seriously reflect on any challenging Pisces energies in your life. These include substance abuse, excessive escapism, lack of direction, confusion or martyrdom.
Aspects
This Full Moon features two aspect patterns: a T-square and a Hard Rectangle.
T-square
The Full Moon’s T-square includes five planets: Moon, Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune. This breaks down into three parts: a Jupiter-Neptune square and two T-squares: Sun-Jupiter-Neptune and Mars-Jupiter-Neptune. For an in-depth understanding of all this, read my 9/2 forecast above. If that’s still fresh in your mind, the following overview will suffice.
On the high side, the Jupiter-Neptune square energizes religion, spirituality, and creative inspiration. It supports grand idealism and visionary optimism, as well as higher education, intuition and compassion. On the low side, this square could amplify addiction, escapism, aimless wandering and unwise financial speculation.
The Sun and Mars are in Virgo. This supports service and/or devotion to your spiritual path, as well as a carefully considered approach to optimizing it. And there’s plenty of energy to edit and refine your creative projects.
There are three life-affirming ways you can use the Mars-Jupiter-Neptune T-square:
- The enthusiastic merging of intellect and intuition to energize life-enhancing learning or teaching
- Adventurous service to others, inspired by intuition and refined by intellect
- Serving in a foreign environment for a compassionate cause
Finally, the Sun-Jupiter-Neptune T-square supports stepping out as a leader or entertainer – but in the spirit of service, and with an appropriate level of humility. Shining your light in the areas of religion, spirituality or inspired creativity is especially supported.
Hard Rectangle
The Moon, Sun, Pallas Athena and Uranus team up to form a Hard Rectangle – a challenging aspect pattern bordered by minor hard aspects. It suggests the possibility of unexpected disruption (Uranus), as well as a two-step process to deal with it. First, get centered and tap into your inner guidance (Uranus, Pisces). Then create a strategic plan (Pallas) to carry it out.
What if inner guidance doesn’t show up right away? Brainstorm the best solution you can think of and start to implement it. Developing momentum, even one baby step at a time, can reveal the next baby step after that. Take enough steps and you’ll get where you need to be!
The Standalone Aspect
This Full Moon has one aspect that isn’t part of an aspect pattern: a Moon-Pluto sextile. This empowers the adjustment or release of anything that isn’t serving your highest good. It can also add wealth and power to anything that is in your best interests!
Sabian Symbol
This Full Moon’s Sabian Symbol is, “A prophet bringing down the new law from the mountain.” At the most basic level, this suggests that you try something new!
Regarding “prophet,” the spiritual veils are getting thinner every day. We no longer have to look outside ourselves for divine revelations.
Your higher self – the spiritual part of you that created your human self – knows exactly why you’re here, as well as your optimal actions. The more you seek its guidance – just ask! – the easier it’ll be to stay current with the “new law” as it updates throughout your life. (To deepen your connection with your higher self, try my free Embodied Awakening Invocation.)

Envelope Begins
Are you ready to make your committed partnerships more flowing, productive, and aligned with your life purpose? Win-win strategy and diplomacy will help you accomplish this, thanks to an Envelope aspect pattern. It includes Juno, Pallas Athena, Saturn, Neptune and the lunar nodes. It starts today (9/14), peaks on 9/29 and ends on 10/11.
This pattern can also help you deepen your spiritual connection in a committed partnership, and use the Law of Attraction more productively with your partner.
While this is a fundamentally harmonious aspect pattern, Juno and Neptune are also part of a T-square that coincides with this Envelope. For tips on dealing with any challenge that comes up in committed partnership during this time, see that T-square interpretation.
Unto itself, a Mars-Neptune opposition (17°12′ Virgo-Pisces) supports operating “in the zone” – that timeless, harmonious state where action seems to arise spontaneously. It can also juice up spiritual awareness, inspired creativity and sacred sex. This aspect is also part of the Mars-Jupiter-Neptune T-square that continues through 9/29.
