Astrological preview for September 2024

September chronologically: 

September to 30 January 2025, Uranus retrograde, what price for freedom?These important years of deep transformation, in which we find ourselves until 2033, mean a liberation for humanity from old deep-rooted patterns, structures, values and norms. Every day we can observe how this old world is increasingly dissolving. The planets responsible for the collective, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, will move into new territory from 2025. For the time being, however, they will turn round once again to uncover and tidy up, and then bid a final farewell to the old age.

Uranus stands for liberation, freedom and genius. Because of its retrograde, you will feel these themes more strongly and scrutinise them more closely.

Liberation and self-reflection: Use this time to reflect on your personal freedom. What changes have given you more freedom recently? Where do you still feel restricted?Recognise inner patterns: Pay attention to what inner beliefs or outer circumstances are preventing you from being authentic. This could be a good opportunity to question old beliefs and develop new perspectives.

2 September to 12 October, Pluto retrograde and in Capricorn until 19 November. The suppressed comes to the surface. Pluto, the last planet and most important teacher in our solar system, turns its direction. Until 12 October, it enters Capricorn again. What has been hiding in the underworld for 20 years will be thoroughly tidied up once again. Pluto will not return there for another 264 years.

In connection with the themes of Pluto in Capricorn, important revelations, scandals and revolts etc. are to be expected in world politics: this involves patriarchal hierarchical structures, dictatorial regimes and the structures of large institutions such as the church and the state.It is quite possible that the old rulers will once again do everything they can to gain power. But this is only temporary; it should be seen as a last stand before their end. On 19 November, Pluto will definitely move into Aquarius for the next 20 years, which means that the old power structures will increasingly crumble to make way for the new ones.

Observe social changes: Be on the lookout for global political developments and revelations related to patriarchal structures or large institutions. These can serve as a mirror for personal issues.

Clean up and heal: Pluto brings suppressed issues to light. Be prepared to deal with your past and recognise shadow sides. This can be painful but is necessary for the healing process.If you feel that certain issues are more serious and you want support, you can take the wind out of some demons’ sails with a hypnotherapy session. You will regain your power and become more self-determined and free. Get in touch if you need it. On a practical level, the energies are ideal for tidying up your cellar, clearing out, for the flea market, for disposal, for renovation work, and especially for a thorough cleaning of all pipes in the household.

2 and 3 September 2024, Mercury/Chiron, healing thoughts and conversations Misunderstandings, things left unsaid and hurts finally want to be cleared up and addressed. It’s time to unclench your fist. Relax, forgive yourself and others.

3 September, new moon in Virgo. Focus your attention on healing. Virgo is the sign of respect for the daily routine – the daily routine.  A new moon always marks a new beginning. This one is about daily life, health and routines.

Up until 10 September, resistance may continue to emerge, as Saturn the realist points out which tasks still need to be completed, which intentions need to be reviewed and where more discipline needs to be developed. We can therefore also expect more discipline to be required. What is standing in the way of healing and integration, what needs to be tidied up, clarified and made aware of?

It is quite possible that you want to reorganise your everyday life, adopt a healthier lifestyle and introduce new routines into your life.

15 September, Venus/Jupiter, with ease This is an extremely benevolent, loving and friendly encounter. It strengthens relationships and the need to approach each other is heightened. It is worth scheduling important financial transactions and appointments on this day.

17 and 18 September, full moon in Pisces. Subtlety This full moon is a partial lunar eclipse. On this full moon night, the moon will dip minimally into the Earth’s umbra, so that the eclipse will only affect the upper right edge of the moon. You can observe this spectacle at our latitude at night on 18 September between 4.17 am and 5.15 am.

The following solar eclipse will take place on 2 October. At this full moon, the moon will be close to the metaphysical Neptune. Give space and time to sensitivity, spirituality and connection with nature. People are more sensitive, empathetic and permeable these days. Be mindful of each other.

Use the days leading up to the full moon for healing through natural medicine, mediation, yoga, hypnosis, acupuncture, massages, etc., as they have a particularly strong effect now.

The mental power of your thoughts is also an important aspect of healing.

Consciously direct your thoughts into a light-filled upward spiral.

22 September, Sun moves into Libra and Sun/Pluto, Venus/Pluto. We need relationships. The equinox is accompanied by intense energies this year, as the power of transformation is particularly strong, with the wonderful potential for transformation and healing.

Reflecting on your values and relationships takes centre stage. You may encounter your fears of loss, but also the power of development if you can overcome them.

Basically, your relationships, art and beauty will take centre stage over the next 30 days, as Venus is at home in Libra. However, Venus also stands for finances and inner values.

All of these topics are undergoing a major transformation process. This can of course fuel fears – BUT should rather be understood as liberation.

In the new age, relationships want to be liberated from claims of ownership, because it’s about freedom, about supporting each other and meeting at eye level. Now let beauty, art and harmony into your life and your relationships.

24/25 and 26 September, Mercury with Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Thinking. Innovation, intuition and intensity in thoughts and words characterise these days. All in all, these are good days for a retreat to deal with a topic in depth.

On 24 September, you can come up with unexpectedly good solutions through a creative mind. I would only make decisions after 26 September.

On 25 September in particular, it’s worth being cautious with concrete agreements. Mistakes could creep in. On the other hand, you are well connected with your intuition and your inner self. How harmonious does it feel? What should feel different?

The 26th of September brings profound thoughts and themes. It is quite possible that mistakes will now be fundamentally rectified. Profound conversations can be held and problems can be named and shamed. Be careful with your choice of words.

30 September, Mars/Saturn, Mercury/Sun. Consciousness. What motivation do you have, what intention drives you to act? You can lay the foundation for further action if you are clear about your motivation. The connection between the Thinker and the Sun also helps you to do this. This brings clarity to your thoughts. Your consciousness can expand wonderfully on this last day of September.
