Apogee Of The Moon

September 1 – Saturn Retrograde enters Pisces

• Saturn begins its final stint in Pisces for the next 30 years.
• This is the time to finalize what we’ve been working through in this Pisces part of our charts.
• Later in the month, the partial solar eclipse at 29° Virgo will oppose Saturn, making this theme of limits vs. letting go very sharp.

September 2 – Mercury enters Virgo

• Mercury in its home sign for the next few weeks.
• Focus on process, order, and detail.
• Mercury moves toward the South Node, the Sun, and finally an opposition with Saturn (Sept 17).
• Later in the month, Mercury enters Libra and opposes Neptune, shifting focus toward relationships and blurred boundaries.

September 3 – Jupiter trine North Node (18° Cancer–Pisces)

• A supportive water trine for Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces placements near 18°.
• Harmonious boost: self-nurturing, merging with purpose, and moving closer to what you’re searching for.

September 4 – Mars square Nodes (18° Libra–Cancer)

• Possible arguments, miscommunication, or crisis situations in relationships.
• Watch how nurtured (or not) you feel in connections.

September 6 – Uranus stations Retrograde (27° Taurus)

• Chaos feels amplified for weeks before and after.
• Nervous system may feel in overdrive.
• Disruption and unpredictability peak.

September 7 – Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces (15°23)

• A North Node eclipse in the middle of the sign.
• Mid-degree = a push–pull between learning something new and trying to master it.
• Feels like being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
• The tides ebb and flow — frustrations, limitations, uncertainty — but a strong turning point for growth.

September 10 – Sun conjunct South Node

• Solar figures (leaders, authority, even our own sense of self) may step away.
• Release of jobs, health habits, or toxic patterns that no longer serve.

September 11 – Mercury conjunct South Node

• Even in its home sign, Mercury here can feel frazzled.
• Desire for perfect order clashes with the need for adaptability.

September 12 – Sun sextile Jupiter

• Conversations and communications flow easily.
• A benefactor may appear, offering help in the form of time, money, information, or opportunity.

September 13 – Mercury cazimi (20° Virgo)

• Insight, clarity, and epiphanies.
• The last decan of Virgo emphasizes process, hierarchy, and refinement.
• Epiphanies about what isn’t working and what must change.

September 15 – Venus sextile Mars

• Collaborative, creative, and relational harmony.
• Excellent for passion projects, style, design, or relationship work.

September 17 – Mercury opposite Saturn (Virgo–Pisces)

• Thoughts may slow or stall.
• External authority figures may push back, even if you’re on the right track.
• A workable opposition: Saturn struggles in Pisces, Mercury thrives in Virgo, but balance is possible through patience.

September 18 – Mercury enters Libra + opposes Neptune (Libra–Aries)

• Mercury in Libra seeks partnership and compromise.
• Opposition to Neptune brings blurred boundaries, hypersensitivity, or confusion.
• What do you need for freedom and truth in your relationships?

September 19 – Venus enters Virgo (fall position) + Mercury trine Uranus/Pluto

• Venus in Virgo: prickly, pragmatic, critical, but aiming to improve. Relationships may feel less warm but more precise.
• Mercury activates a grand Air trine with Uranus and Pluto — breakthrough ideas, tech, secrets, and powerful conversations.

September 20 – Venus square Uranus (1° Virgo–Gemini)

• Sudden disruptions in work, relationships, or routines.
• Reactivates the New Moon energy earlier this month.

September 21 – Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo (29°)

• Opposes Saturn, trines Uranus and Pluto, opposes Neptune — all within tight orb.
• A soft eclipse of release: what you’ve resisted letting go of must now be surrendered.
• Authority, autonomy, and routines come into sharp focus.
• Sun opposes Saturn just prior: resolution and reckoning with authority before release.

September 22 – Mars enters Scorpio; Sun enters Libra (Equinox)

• Mars in Scorpio: precision, strategy, quieter intensity, even passive-aggressiveness.
• Sun in Libra: the Sun’s fall. Entering the dark half of the year, a time of contemplation.

September 23–24 – Sun trine Uranus & Pluto (Grand Air Trine)

• Flow of communication, outreach, and collective momentum.
• Breakthroughs in tech, organizing, or messaging.

September 24 – Mars square Pluto (1° Scorpio–Aquarius)

• One of the most intense aspects of the month.
• Can manifest as power struggles, aggression, or even violence.
• A day to tread carefully.

✨ September’s Arc:

• Begins with Saturn’s return to Pisces → ends with Mars–Pluto intensity.
• Two eclipses push us to release what no longer serves.
• Mercury carries the story from Virgo’s precision to Libra’s relational negotiations.
• By the Equinox, the shift into the darker half of the year asks for contemplation and balance.
