If you are wondering what the heck is going on, why things feel so heavy, especially in partner relations and how to alleviate some of it, this article is definitely worth your read! As you might have noticed, there has been an energetic shift as the summer has started its transition into fall. Nights are getting longer and the sun is feeling cooler on the skin. The energies are also shifting in the sky, preparing us for an eventful fall with lots of opportunities to learn and grow.

When challenging placements happen in the skies – and they do so regularly – it’s definitely a great opportunity for increased self-awareness and self-work. It’s our chance to demonstrate that we understand and have learnt our lesson. Pay extra close attention to situations that seem repetitive. They will continue happening until we have gained all the insights that we are meant to gain out of these experiences. And the month of September is definitely promising to be full of such experiences.

First, let’s look at the bright side of things. Sun and Mercury are in Leo until the middle of the month, which is going to inspire us to want to come out and shine into the world! This transit will also help us resolve important matters in an elegant and high-class manner. Beautiful time to be out and about and adding some dates at a theater with your partner or friends will serve everyone good as the month of September continues to unfold.

Sun enters Virgo on the 16th of September, not his most favorite sign to be in. The following month might present us with weakened immune systems and is a great opportunity to take a round of immunity strengthening supplements or a course of vitamins.

Mercury will transition into Virgo on September 23d, a sign of his strength, making it a fantastic time to learn something new. Taking a training or masterclass of interest would be very fitting and productive.

Jupiter continues his peaceful journey in a friendly sign of Taurus, bringing us blessings of abundance and prosperity as well as increased spirituality and meeting the right guides and mentors. I wrote more about this transit here.

Mars is spending all September in Gemini, activating spheres of communications, short trips, constant movement and sports events (hello sports parents!). Not a bad placement all-in-all.

Second part of September is not looking as bright, but is guaranteed to be profound.

Firstly, let’s not forget that Saturn is still riddling us with fears, uncertainties, heavy moods and rigidity with his retro movement in Aquarius, that started on June 29th, and will last until November 15th. I wrote more in detail about this transit here. The most important thing by far that all of us can focus on during this time is learning to surrender to the natural flow of things without trying to overly control everything or hold on too tightly to what we think should happen.

Also, one of the best activities to harmonize the pressures of Saturn is spending time in nature, which is like hitting the reset button for your soul – it’s where you find clarity in the chaos and serenity in the hustle. Just remember, whatever is happening in our lives – is happening as a result of seeds that we have sown. Right now is an excellent time to re-evaluate the quality of seeds that we are sowing currently, because they too shall sprout one day.

In Natal Chart, depending on the house, where Aquarius is positioned, Saturn in this transit will ask you to revisit your thinking and approaches in the corresponding life area. What is hiding deep down? What programs are your reaction patterns running on? How much of what goes inside of you do you notice and how much of it goes unnoticed? Saturn will keep asking. If we don’t start hearing and answering, the ask will become louder and more urgent and might show up in a form of unpleasant situations, delays, feelings of stagnation, depression and/or anxiety. Of course, the severity of lessons will always depend on individual karma, lessons already learnt and progress in conscious evolution.

In addition to Saturn retro, Venus is transiting the sign of Virgo right now, where she is extremely weak and unhappy. Virgo being the sign of analytics, precision and practical calculations is too constrictive for the artsy and beauty loving Venus, the planet of love. This might show up as heaviness in partner relations, especially romantic. The best way to alleviate it is to dedicate some time to arts and crafts of all kinds. Anything having to do with beauty, design, renovations, decorations is welcome. Word of caution though – nothing permanent! In other words, it is not a great time for drastic changes that are irreversible, otherwise there is could be regret.

To complicate things further, we are expected to have a Lunar eclipse on September 17th followed by a Solar Eclipse on October 2d. The period between these eclipses form a portal of a sort, known as corridor of eclipses, and will ask us to be extra diligent with our thoughts, words and actions. An excellent time to do introspective work and notice anything that will be coming up, especially if it is something that repeats itself in our lives.

Eclipses are felt a few days before and a few days after the actual celestial events, making the upcoming month an excellent time to de-clutter the space around us, detox the body and take inventory of feelings and emotions, while remembering that our reaction is EVERYTHING and we always chose how to react, whatever the situation.

The corridor of eclipses can feel rather intense, just know that everything is temporary and this too shall pass. Let me know in the comments if more information on the eclipses is needed.
