Lighter days are on their way! This summer had a LOT of heaviness, with so many planets in your fellow fixed signs and weighty Saturn slogging through Aquarius. If you felt unusually anchored—even if your life was all over the place—September will start to bring ease.
We say “start” because there’s still a certain intensity, especially while the Sun is in Virgo and your intimate, private eighth house until September 22. But once Libra season begins at the balancing equinox on the 22nd, your adventurous and worldly ninth house comes to life. The floodgates of inspiration open, bringing new opportunities to broaden your horizons, especially near the September 25 Libra new moon.
Even better? Energizer Mars is in Gemini for the next six months (from August 20, 2022, until March 25, 2023), making an extended trip through your fifth house of fame, romance and self-expression. Your PSL won’t be the only thing getting spiced up this autumn!
Still, patience will be required. All of the slow-moving outer planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune AND Pluto—are in powered down retrograde (backward) motion this whole month. On September 9, communication planet Mercury joins the retrograde brigade, foiling technology, schedules and day-to-day interactions until October 2. There will be obstacles to navigate, but nothing you can’t handle with a few deep breaths and the support of your friends.
