September Moon Musings

Your monthly guide to what's happening in the astrological world

New Moon in Virgo - 15th September @ 11.40am AEST

As the Sun and the Moon hold hands in the sky, they fall in the earthly sign of Virgo and will also create a Grand trine in earth as they make aspects to Neptune in Capricorn and Aquarius in Taurus. This means there is a strong and beautiful flow of earthly energy in the sky at this time

Virgo is the organiser of the zodiac so as these planets meet you may feel called to get things in order, to create a plan or a list of what the steps are to create your desires.

Virgo is ruled by the Planet Mercury (who rules our intellect and communication) so this may mean that we feel the need to put some sort of clarity and practicality into our emotional realm (The moon) But be gentle with your thought process during this time as the perfectionist side of Virgo is also strong and may begin to ‘critique’ your emotions in order to gain clarity.

And while we don’t want to think too hard about how we feel as our emotions need to be felt, Virgo gives us the support of structure It is time to clean out the cobwebs and get practical

Where can you embrace more organisation in your life?

Where could you use a more practical approach? Get that pen and paper out and start writing the list!

Virgo also rules health and wellbeing so this is also a great time to put your health goals into a practical format and get those daily habits ironed out.

How can I serve myself so I can better serve the ones I love?

Full Moon in Aries - September 29th @ 7:57PM AEST

While the Sun is in the the harmonising sign of Libra it is illuminating the emotional Mother Moon in the fire sign of Aries on this Full Moon.

It’s important to remember that there is polarity in everything and the Libra/Aries axis really highlights this Libra wants to merge and join with the other while Aries is here for herself, the independent, pioneering spirit!

So how do we merge these energies?

We pause. Aries likes to act before thinking while Libra struggles to make the decision at all! A pause will give us time to calm the fire in our emotional realm, a pause to breathe, to think and then to feel.

A Pause allows the Aries fire to be less explosive while still showing up in all her passionate glory.

A pause allows the Libra sun to tap into her own intuition rather than just saying yes to please the other

Where in your life do you need light the fire?

Where could you be more independent?

How do these two energies show up for you?

It’s time to embrace all of who you are, It’s time to take the leap! September moon phases 2023
