Venus direct 14 Leo: September 5
Venus direct brings turning points, and indicates new progress, especially in matters relating to love, money and life’s little luxuries. Venus will remain in station, and not moving, until September 12, so Venus topics might be in a holding pattern until mid-month.
As Venus starts to get back on track and pick up speed, you might experience delays being removed from your path, or feel as though you can add a few treats back into your life. If you know your chart, check the house ruled by Leo. Those topics and areas of life are where you are ready for progress.
The period immediately after Venus retrograde, while Venus remains in shadow, is great for second chances with opportunities missed during the retrograde itself. Between now and October 9, follow up or revisit any offer that didn’t manifest as you’d hoped in the past 6 weeks. A better or improved version of a recent opportunity may be within reach.
Sun 13 Virgo trine Pluto 13 Capricorn: September 6
This is a powerhouse aspect, which promises profound progress, or even a breakthrough. The Sun and Pluto working together can help you claim your power or discover your strength. Be firm about how you want to organise things now, especially as you prepare for long term success and security.
A powerful, well connected mentor may offer support, or a high profile male figure might lend a helping hand. The easy, flowing nature of the sextile suggests if you need something now, asking for it will help you get what you need.

Mars 19 Leo trine Uranus 19 Aries: September 8
I love Mars and Uranus together, mostly for the electricity! This is an aspect full of spark and energy, and can help you embrace innovation, or experiment with new technology. Uranus wants freedom and encourages independence, so think and choose for yourself now. Forget what others demand or what tradition expects and instead dare to follow your own instincts.
This is a rule breaking, rebellious combination but the easy kind, since it’s a trine. Push a little against a restriction you’ve long wanted to change – you might be surprised how willing others are to work with your suggestions.
New Moon Solar Eclipse 21 Virgo: September 13
The Virgo Solar eclipse aligns with the karmic North Node, adding extra emphasis to the potential for possibilities, and the value in breaking away from the past. This eclipse encourages you to move forward or get out of your comfort zone. A fated encounter or coincidental invitation may help you step away from the safe and the familiar and try something exciting but scary.
The eclipse ruler is Mercury, who is in station and about to go retrograde. This can show the possibilities promised by the eclipse may take some time to manifest. Patience + persistence will pay off.
Jupiter 7 – 8 Virgo opposite Neptune 7 – 8 Pisces: September 13 – 22
This is the major aspect of the month, as two of the largest planets face off. Jupiter and Neptune share an interest in beliefs, philosophy and spirituality. In an opposition, two planets must negotiate from opposing perspectives, and right now Jupiter in Virgo is exploring the value of order, routine and systems, while Neptune in Pisces is highlighting the value of immersion, and diving deep into a passion or calling that speaks to your soul.
This aspect can create some confusion, especially around details or logistics, while at the same time leading to meaningful inspiration. You might need to be flexible or go with the flow more than usual. Details may be tricky to manage or clarify, and an understanding that everything is always shifting can help you keep your feet on the ground.
If you can, take time out from regular responsibilities to day dream, explore your creativity or simply escape the real world. Things like yoga, time in nature and near the water or losing yourself in a book, a performance or music will help you tap into some of the unconscious inklings in your heart.
