September 24th
7.53 PM PT – Full Moon at 2° of Aries
For an in-depth breakdown of the full moon please read this post on it.
September 25th
Sun in Libra square Saturn in Capricorn, both at 2°
This is a reiteration of the challenges that were felt during the full moon. A little like a hangover that won’t quit, the sun’s square to Saturn doubles down on its promise to unveil the consequences of our actions.
This is the closing square between the sun and Saturn. Whatever peaked for us in late June at the time of the sun’s opposition to Saturn is now being asked to be refined. At the closing square we feel the need to strip everything down to its essential nature, its seed potential, its undeniable truth. Saturn always helps us make necessary definitive and defining decisions. Trust its process, just don’t get caught up in its relentless critique. These days are filled with deadlines and sentiments that can devalue our best efforts.
Be careful where you put that self-criticism.
It’s good to know when not to trust our doubts about our progress. This might be one of those times. Saturn is more likely than not to trick us into throwing out what is making perfectly good strides towards success. Stay patient and consistent. See your life from a greater perspective than just this little moment. Most likely, the challenges you face now will fade, but the ways in which you faced them will become hard-won pearls of wisdom that you can wear with great honor.
September 27th
Sun in Libra trine Mars in Aquarius, both at 4°
Today’s sun trine Mars helps to burn off some of the sludge that Tuesday’s sun square Saturn may have situated us in. Here the sun gets energized and is galvanized to take the actions necessary. Go forth with gusto and a good amount of courage in your convictions.
September 30th
Pluto stations direct at 18° Capricorn
After its long, yearly retrograde, Pluto shifts directions. The last of three planets to station direct in Capricorn since late August, Pluto takes the longest to pick up its pace. Sitting at 18° for a considerable amount of time, any planets or points in your chart close by will be feeling this major overhaul. The potency of the transformations made under Pluto’s influence are inarguable, long-lasting, and unmistakeable. Pluto speaks of power and how to work with it. It unearths every emotion we are afraid to own. It reveals all the psychological lead we must transform into gold. As it stations direct, some aspect of this is revealed and the astrology of October 2nd carries the message of Pluto’s station direct a little further.
October 2nd
Mercury in Libra square Pluto in Capricorn, both at 18°
Mercury, up against the lord of the underworld, is destined to get lost down some intense wormholes today. Taking us with it, Mercury wants to have cathartic conversations, offering us mind-bending realizations and communications that decimate any polite peace we were playing under. It’s up to us, of course, to decide when the time has come to do away with niceties or seek a little refuge for fear of destroying something a little too delicate.
Whether or not you use this astrology to work through a challenging conversation, just make sure you are doing so as consciously as possible. Any extra intensity added to this day can easily become reality-show level of ridiculous.
I’ll be back on or before October 5th to talk about Venus’s next retrograde cycle that begins October 5th and ends November 16th.
Horoscope for Aries & Aries Rising
Remaining open to opportunity feels near impossible when life has been relentless with us, but be careful not to shut down the entire system just because you’ve run into a challenge.
You need to know you are on your own side.
Reclaim yourself from the isolation tanks of your ego each and every day. Your ego loves to trick you into thinking that you are in this alone. It loves to trick you into thinking that your problems are too unique to be understood by any another. It loves to trick you into thinking that being defended against life is your only option against being hurt by it.
Stay open to yourself.
September’s full moon articulates the challenging. Peaking in your sign, this full moon makes very clear the obstacles in your path and what it will take to get around them. Professionally, what you are up against is considerable, but it is incredibly important to become familiar with its intricacies. Knowing what you are dealing with is half the battle. Knowing your opponent allows you to choose your strategy with care. Knowing the scenario means that you can have a better understanding of where you are and why.
Like glitter from last week’s party, how you respond to the things that you are faced with now will tend to hover around you for a while. You don’t have to know what to do to solve the entire situation. You just have to show up and be willing to work it out as honestly as you can.

Horoscope for Taurus & Taurus Rising
Like a cat cornered, we run the risk of becoming caustic when we let another’s idea of us control how we show up in the world. Those that wish you would tone it down, keep yourself in line, or be emotionally manicured will become increasingly disappointed with you.
That is on them.
Now is the time to forgive yourself for whatever it is you have had to deny yourself. Now is the time to give yourself the space to figure out what it is you need in order to feel more free. Now is the time to find within you the desire to choose yourself above all else.
As you do, you get to free yourself of being “good,” a little at a time. It is the gift that keeps on giving. Get some of it as quickly as you can.
September’s full moon shines a light on the backrooms of your psyche. The corners of your thoughts that you have yet to clear out get illuminated and you are given good information to sort through. With the full moon, take a moment to let yourself have a full and complete exhale. Without waiting, give yourself permission to release what your body has been holding and rest from the exhaustion of doing so.
As the last days of September sort themselves out and the first week of October finds its form, you get a firm understanding of the professional duties that need your due diligence. You have a lot to balance at the moment so make sure that you aren’t overwhelming your work pile unnecessarily. Keep a little extra space open for your more important projects and make sure that you don’t sleep on your deadlines. The repercussions right now are a little too long-lasting to not take seriously.

Horoscope for Gemini & Gemini Rising
We need constant reminders of who we are and why we are here. We need constant affirmations that we each have the capacity to counter evil by being fierce and unwavering accomplices to equity. We need constant encouragement to keep growing ourselves despite the comfort of complacency, a comfort that all too often harbors the harmful systems that dehumanize, devalue, and diminish us.
We need to be in good company, consistently.
September’s full moon reminds you of this. It points out who is around you and why their presence is so important for you. It highlights the challenges in certain relationships and why their lessons are so internal to your current growth. It reiterates the fact that your needs in relationship won’t stay the same.
You have grown, and your relationships need to be able to grow with you.
Whatever lessons this full moon brings up for you in regards to your relationships with others, it balances it with the obligations that you have to your creative projects and their current development. If community is taking too much of a toll on your energetic reserves, your creations may suffer. Come the last few days of this month and the first few of next, you’ll need every ounce of time and patience to work through the obstacles your projects (or the children in your life) are up against. This calls on you to become extra protective of your time, and encourages you to be extra thoughtful about your efforts.
There may not be enough space to get done what you need to in the way that you want to. Try to come at the issues that surface with an open mind and a willingness to accept the situation for what it is and what you can do within it.

Horoscope for Cancer & Cancer Rising
The deadlines you are up against are undeniable. The consequences considerate. The commitments concrete. While little may feel fair or balanced at the moment, your approach to it all needs to be. The moment that you let others dictate what you can and cannot do is the moment that you may have lost some small or large part of your way.
Keep your power, let go of your need to please.
To do so you will have to be unequivocally OK with the outcome, even it it means letting go of a situation. You’ll have to be unequivocally honest about what you need. You’ll have to be unequivocally on your own side.
Turn your autonomy onto auto pilot.
From the end of September to the beginning of October the tension of your to-do list can be overwhelming. Try not to lose sight of the fact that you are the boss of your responses. You are the ruler of your roost. You are the CEO of your self-care.
The full Harvest moon marks a time of serious decisions for your career. It helps you to reap what you have professionally sown, asking you if you are working to create what you truly want to manifest or if you are working to create something you think will win you love, admiration, or appreciation.
Your relationship dynamics (both business and personal) get sorted through for their potentials and problems. The contracts that you’ve made with others need to be adhered to, adjusted to reflect your reality right now, and carried with a commitment to honor their contents.
Your family and home life also adheres to these cosmic tides. A parent, family member or housemate might need a little extra care, help, or consideration from you right now. Weigh your wants with your responsibilities and make sure you aren’t missing out on an opportunity to be there for someone in need.

Horoscope for Leo & Leo Rising
It’s not that the journey isn’t worth the effort, it’s just that at this moment, the exact nature of the effort involved is revealed.
September’s full moon finds the flaws, fears, or obstacles in your plans. Under this kind of lunar light it is good to remember that the full moon magnifies what is difficult, not that what is difficult isn’t still very much doable.
Learning how best to work through the fears that come up while on our path, is the destination. September’s full moon asks you what your struggle is helping you to become more aware of. Instead of taking it personally, feeling bad about what is difficult for you, or being discouraged about what you don’t yet know how to do, seek to understand the ways in which this moment is helping you get to a core issue.
Sometimes we need strong encouragement (read: no other choice) to do the thing that is the most challenging to do.
As the end of September and beginning of October unfold, the problems that you are able to address will set the stage for future efficiency. What structural support can you provide yourself? What psychological support can you connect to? What daily practices connect you to solution-based strategies? Put your energy there and you’ll find that any current concerns become entry ways into incredibly insightful investigations.

Horoscope for Virgo & Virgo Rising
September’s full moon finds you weighing what stock you were able to bring in over the past couple of seasons and what is currently leaving your storehouses.
Balance is key.
The end of September and beginning of October keep pressing you about the nature of your work, what it currently needs, and the necessary redefining it is undergoing. As you encounter obstacles here you are also given the encouragement needed to work through them. What truth do you find you keep coming back to? What do you most desire to do at the moment with what you have been given? What are you tempted to try but feeling shy about beginning?
Your professional dreams need your conviction. Your supervision. Your commitment. Be their guardian, cheerleader, and co-conspirator. No matter how challenging the task, refuse to let up on your belief in the projects that depend on you alone. Often with astrology like this what gets revealed is what does and doesn’t work. Take the parts of your projects that are built without structural wisdom and rework them. Take the parts of your projects that are solid and keep adding to them. Editing is a part of any successful project. Don’t be discouraged if you have to cut out more than you were willing to; just be dedicated to keeping what will work no matter the weather and for a long time to come.

Horoscope for Libra & Libra Rising
Some only know how to take. Maybe they haven’t been taught manners. Maybe they haven’t been humbled into gratitude. Maybe they have had to develop a defense against feeling that is so strong, that they don’t know how to hold what you give them with appreciation.
Learn who these people are in your life. Be conscious about what you expect from them. Be wary of wanting what they cannot give.
Some know how to receive us and our efforts. They were born with and were able to keep some part of their heart open. Some memory of abundance still lives within them, and with that, the ability to recognize when it is coming towards them.
Learn who these people are in your life. Be conscious of the fears that come up when you are in the presence of someone who appreciates you. Be a witness to the ways in which you respond to difficulties that come up with others that you love and trust. Be open to learning another level of honesty with those that can consciously work through the more challenging issues. September’s full harvest moon unpacks in great detail what kinds of containers are needed in order for intimacy to occur.
As you enter Libra season you are being asked to take a look around to see what you no longer need to feed. Any and all resources that you can re-absorb will be put to incredibly good use so keep what you don’t have to give. The end of September and beginning of October press you for your best efforts, ask for incredible patience, and require unrelenting dedication. Giving it all you’ve got means not wasting what you don’t have on who or what should be getting it for themselves.

Horoscope for Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
September’s full moon wants you to reap the professional benefits of all you have poured your heart and soul into these past few seasons. The fields that you have tilled and toiled over are providing life-sustaining substance for the months to come, though they may not be as easily harvested as you’d like.
What you do in the difficult times matters. You might not be able to solve every problem, work out every difficulty, or find every solution to your situation right now, but the way you carry the load that you have been given has a lasting impact.
This moment is supposed to feel a little like a tight squeeze. Don’t mistake a slow flow for an all out drought. Cultivate patience, persistence, and a trust in what leaves.
This is a time to cut away the parts that are taking too much from the whole.
As the end of September and the beginning of October unfold, give yourself permission to retreat from any unnecessary noise. There is a deep and private energetic reboot going on within you. Time and space is necessary to do the required releasing. Scorpio is home to Venus’s next retrograde. Preparing for that long, and incredibly deep, journey is a wise and much needed strategy.

Horoscope for Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
Creations come at a cost. September’s full moon asks you to make hard choices on behalf of yours. Nourishing what needs it means that at some point you’ve got to take resources away from what impedes its growth. Saying no doesn’t make you a bad person. Every one of your dreams fulfilled requires you to be a patient and persistent protector of them.
You are currently learning the importance of putting your integrity above your need to be liked. You can try all you like to contort yourself into shapes that please the masses, but you’ll only end up spending your life’s precious energy doing so. Instead, focus on accomplishing what you came here to do.
As the end of September plays out, and the beginning of October takes shape, what you learn is that even when others don’t love what you do in the moment, when you do it with great respect, thoughtfulness, and consideration, it works out in the end. We all have hard choices to make. We all impact one another’s lives. We all need to make a call to serve something in the best ways we know how. Be thorough in your investigation of your reasons for doing what you are doing, and then be unwavering in your ability to back your decisions up with every bit of confidence you can.

Horoscope for Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
September’s full moon keeps you at home for a moment. Whatever needs your attention there, give it. The full moon grounds you. Gets you to dig into your needs. Gives you a reason to rest as it resists swift motion for the moment.
This is a moment where you are asked to uphold the boundaries necessary for you to have a healthy relationship with your inner life. It requires that you learn how to say no to those that impose on your right to your own space. It encourages you to have compassion for the parts of you that feel hope is lost, or that you lack something necessary to get the job at hand accomplished.
The rest of September and the beginning of October need your input and effort. Placing you in a career crunch, this astrology forces you to confront the current shape of things. Your deadlines define what you can and can’t get a way with. The training that you are receiving on the job now serves you for some time, but it isn’t an easy-going kind of learning curve. How can you be both accountable for what you need to get done and careful not to let your anxieties get the best of your energy? The more that you can be consistently thoughtful without being overly cautious, the more you’ll be able to make steady progress. Promotions are hard won under this astrological weather, but solid efforts will win you eternal gratitude and eventual payoffs from everyone you work with.

Horoscope for Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
September’s full moon reveals the ways in which your days feel especially loaded. Important conversations fill the hours. Weighty decisions line the halls of your inboxes. Monumentally important exchanges change the structure of your short and long-term life goals.
What have been the most important messages that you’ve received recently? What confirmations have come through? What have they helped you to commit to? What have they asked you to face? No matter the blessing or the difficulty, what is happening now is defining you in a way that is lasting.
Accepting what is occurring will grant you the agency necessary to make what you can of it. Fighting for the things that mean the most for your overall success is imperative. Only you can name what justice looks like in private and in public for you now. Just make sure that you are arguing the right side of the scenario. Getting caught up in disagreements because your ego is hurt is a good way to miss out on potential for solid and soulful growth. Focus on separating out your disappointments from your duty to the situation and you’ll find ways to meet your responsibilities empowered and in integrity.

Horoscope for Pisces & Pisces Rising
September’s full moon asks you to put down important boundaries in regards to your work life. It asks for deliberate and consistent efforts towards your financial goals. It asks you to not pay too much attention to any disappointments and instead place your awareness on what you can do in this moment.
Every little effort counts when a situation feels a little more daunting than usual.
This is a moment where faith becomes an incredibly fortunate find. The evidence of growth might feel a little non-existent in some areas of your life. The display of wealth might be missing from your financial statements. The ways in which you normally count your blessings might need a revamp.
Whatever you do, be as grateful for the opportunity to do it as you can. Try to minimize any unnecessary criticism of your current situation. Try to cultivate an awareness of how you spend your energy. Try to curb your investments in what tends to lead you down a road of less enthusiasm for your situation.
As the end of September and the beginning of October roll out, you’ll notice that your collaborations also come under some incredibly important scrutiny. If you want others to invest in your ideas, partner with your products, or co-create what you know could be great, bring them solutions to a problem. Seek out the same from potential partners. Join forces with what feels innovative. Otherwise you’ll lose interest and steam quicker than you can cash your check.
