September brings the energy of the Yin Wood Rooster. Yin Wood is the energy of creativity and connecting with loved ones. The Rooster is a Yin Metal animal. Metal chops Wood which can be good or bad. The good aspect of this combination is the Metal energy will help you cut through your own bullshit and get to work on things that need to be done. Which is great because it is Virgo season after all. Virgos are great at catching the details, but can be very critical, just like the Rooster who tends to usually go one step too far. The Rooster uses its loud voice to be heard and noticed and can get overly cocky to show others that he is in control. However, his cocky nature just represents insecurity. Pay attention to who is trying to “rule the roost” this month. These people are afraid that they are not as powerful as they think they are. The Rooster is the Zodiac sign known as the Intellect. They have brilliant minds. One way you can use this energy is to embody one of the best attributes of the Rooster, which is great timing. Roosters are always right on time. A great affirmation to use this month would be “Everything shows up for me at the perfect time!”
Rabbits may struggle this month because they tend to get drowned out and frightened by the Roosters crow. Rabbits, you may need to speak up for yourselves, and don’t back down! Dogs lay low and get some rest this month. Choose your battles wisely, chasing the Rooster around the farm yard might get you into some hot water. Rats might have the opportunity to close a chapter this month and open a new one. Pay attention to what shows up.
It’s Eclipse Season! Do you feel change in the air? What do eclipses mean in astrology? Eclipses have been known to happen at the same time as pivotal moments in history. Both Lunar and Solar Eclipses signify the conjunction of the luminaries (Sun and Moon) with the Nodes of fate. Each year, the Nodes move backwards through the zodiac signs to light up what we are embracing and how we level up as a collective (North Node), and also what we are meant to let go of (South Node). In January of this year the nodal axis changed. The North Node changed from Aries to Pisces, and the South Node from Libra to Virgo. Pisces the sign of endings, empathy, dreams; and Virgo the sign of healing, details and daily routines. The North Node in Pisces is asking us to identify our dreams and beliefs, and which dreams and beliefs are outdated. While the South Node in Virgo is asking us to identify what no longer heals us and what we can let go of to get back on track with healthier routines. Eclipses energize the Moon cycles like a bolt of lightning! I always say that a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is like a Full Moon on crack!
The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on the 7th will shine a huge spotlight on the area of your chart where you are required to let go of specific energy. What beliefs can you let go of that no longer serve you? Do you have any broken dreams that didn’t work out the way you had hoped? This is a great time to be open to new dreams. What are you saying goodbye to? What cycles in your life are ending? What have you been obsessively holding on to? This is going to be the perfect chance to let it go! I recommend that instead of doing moon water and crystal charging. Writing your intentions of what you want to let go of, and then writing a new list of intentions replacing the old ones. Eclipses have the power to create rituals for you. No need to focus on the ritual itself. Just pay attention to what emotions come up, and let them go! Where is 15° Pisces in your chart? This is the house that is connected to what you are letting go of!
The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo on the 21st is the second New Moon in Virgo this year! This upcoming New Moon is at 29° Virgo, giving you the opportunity for a fresh new start by adopting strong routines in health, self-care and figuring out where you want to be of service to others. New beginnings will start at 29° Virgo in your chart! This energy is great for a starting over, if you need a redo! You may even feel the effects of the eclipse energy up to 30 days after! Set your intentions and watch your manifestations become real!
Pluto the planet of death, rebirth and transformation recently went out of bounds. Each planet has its own course as it moves through space called the ecliptic. When it moves more than 23° north or south of the ecliptic it is considered out of bounds. When a planet goes out of bounds, the planet’s energy acts with more intensity and acts unexpectedly. The last time Pluto was out of bounds was from 1938 to 1952. Pluto was moving northward as it moved out of bounds. When it moves northward it creates a culmination of power. This time period is linked to the rise in power of authoritarian regimes, WW2 and the Cold War. As Pluto moves out of bounds currently it is moving southward. Which would suggest a collapse of power, revolution, and major societal change. Those who are in power currently will experience a power shift and upheaval. Pluto will go in and out of bounds for the next ten years. It will be interesting to see how this energy plays out!
So many things are happening right now! What does this mean for you? How are all of the changes in the world affecting your life? I’m always here to support you in these changes. Let’s take a look at your chart for answers!
