Theme of the month: Hold on, let's rethink this!
As summer fades and autumn approaches, a powerful retrograde energy takes hold in September. The ongoing retrograde motion of Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus, Mercury, and Venus sets the tone for the month, continuing the introspective and reflective atmosphere we've been feeling throughout the summer.
Pluto Retrograde: Time to review and change important aspects of life.
Neptune Retrograde: Take a closer look at dreams and spiritual matters to gain clarity.
Saturn Retrograde: Reflect on responsibilities, limitations, and long-term goals.
Uranus Retrograde: Guided to find a sense of freedom within yourself. Thinking about new ideas and ways to innovate – making personal breakthroughs.
Mercury Retrograde: Rethink, Review, Reflect, Reconnect, Revise.
Venus Retrograde: Reconsidering love, romance, and relationships.
While there has been much discussion about 7 retrograding planets, we will only be having 6 retrogrades simultaneous – which is more than enough. The North Node always transits in retrograde, and Chiron is retrograde, but it is an asteroid. Venus will station direct helping to improve relationships and romantic matters, but Jupiter will station retrograde soon afterwards – they won't be retrograde at the same time.
Jupiter Retrograde: Take a closer look at your growth plans and opportunities from the past, learn from them, and find ways to become wiser and continue growing.
Mercury will station direct in the middle month reducing the total number of retrograding planets to 5. Although Venus and Mercury post shadow period will still be strongly felt. In terms of aspects, it is a mix bag of favorable aspects and challenging one.
Taurus and Pisces will have 2 retrograding planets in their signs - those with their Sun, Rising, or heavy placements in those signs will feel strong effects. The New Moon in Virgo has an opposition to Neptune Retrograde but forms a kite aspect with Jupiter Rx + Uranus Rx in Taurus and Pluto Rx in Capricorn. Although it is a New Moon, the retrograde aspects give the energy of restart; mutable placements will feel it strongly. The Full Moon in Aries will be in opposition to the Sun in Libra - cardinal placements feel more challenged by its energy.
