We know it’s September and Virgo season, when the summer heat starts feeling bearable and students have gotten back into the rhythm of zipping up their bags for school and people getting back from their summer vacations! Virgos are detail-oriented and effective planners, and we can all borrow from their energy this month while we shed the remnants of dramatic Leo season to welcome in the fall.
September is the 9th month. In numerology 9 is all about endings and completion. With mercury finally going direct, September is a good month to complete any final plans you have been wanting. If you combine 9 with 2024 which adds up to an 8, 8+9= 17 which adds up to an 8 which is all about achievement. First you must bring to an end any and all negativity as well as clutter. If there is an area you have been wanting to do a deep cleaning, this is the month to do so. Remember, a cluttered home leads to a cluttered mind and it is hard to focus on achievement if your mind, soul and heart are cluttered!
This September the cosmic vibration around you and within you resonates with a rich, vibrant energy which will inspire you and calls you to take action! This vibrant energy will help you to increase in the pace and intensity of how you will be experiencing your day, your life and the world around you, inviting you to move forward with focused intention and courageous warriorship!
On the first day of the month, change-maker Uranus goes into retrograde, where it will continue its backward spin until January 30, 2025. This means you might start realizing what changes need to be made, but things won’t happen quickly. The beginning of this month kicks off with some revolutionary energy. Whether it looks like continuing to challenge yourself to get uncomfortable to stay authentic or challenging systems that keep us from flowing, September reminds us to keep the entire journey of change and evolution in mind—not just where we are and where we want to go.
We also have a gorgeous new moon at the beginning of the month, on September 2. In the sign of Virgo, the new moon will help us clean up our act. Much like we have a spring cleaning around the time of the Virgo full moon each year, the Virgo new moon carries a similar tone—but rather than purging, we are bringing things in. You should stock your wardrobe to ensure you look and feel the part. You may call that personal trainer you have been playing phone tag with to set up a session. You might start a new job around this time, improving your work-life balance. The new moon in Virgo wants us to purify our lives by focusing on what gives us the best rhythm and flow, rather than overloading ourselves with unrealistic expectations for even the most hardworking folks.
We also have a partial lunar eclipse happening on September 17. A lunar eclipse is like an extra powerful full moon, and with it being in dreamy Pisces, the weeks following the eclipse will feel like you’ve entered a dream state. The moon might teach us something about our mystical subconscious, but reach out to the grounding forces of Virgo to get yourself out of a mental rabbit hole. On a personal level, this eclipse might look like reconciling with a version of yourself that you’ve outgrown. On a collective level, this might look like letting go of past systems and frameworks that no longer serve the greater good. Regardless of how it shows up, it is essential to stay connected to your spirituality, remain hopeful for the future, and keep faith that when one door closes, another opens shortly afterward.
We end out the month by entering Libra season, where we’ll be able to establish and prioritize balance. Mercury also enters Libra at the end of the month, facilitating diplomatic and pleasant conversation. You’ll find it easier to let go of any internal or external conflict which may have risen throughout the intense month full of change.
