September 2024 - Card of the Month

XVIII. The Moon

September is the month we transition from sunny, playful Summer to cozy, nostalgic Autumn. This month is about welcoming nature to go within, retreat, and recharge. There is no rush this month to get there, but, simply setting an intention to cool your jets for the next season will be enough to get the ball (slowly) rolling.

Interestingly enough, September is not just a regular month… it’s a magnified month of energy because Eclipse season is here!

Now, the significance of the card of the month has amplified, just like the way eclipses amplify the monthly new moons and full moons.

The Moon card invites us to reflect on not just this past season, but the last 6 months. Eclipses occur about every 6 months. The existence of eclipses in Astrology is routine, however, it’s the aspects the Moon makes that make it one of a kind, each and every single time. Thinking back 6 months, what kind of themes were predominant and spoke loudly to you? Those themes are now present, with the spotlight fully on them for the big finale, as the next show prepares to take the stage.

Dates to remember:

New Moon: September 2nd, 2024 (11 degrees Virgo) 9:56 PM ET.

Depending on where Virgo is in your chart, this lunation will invite you to welcome new or a change of energy in regards to communication. Be mindful of overcriticizing and reserve your judgment when it is called for. Respect the line of communication and remember that listening is just as important as communicating within a conversation.

Takeaway tips: Look at where Virgo is in your chart and any points that are 11 degrees or within 5 degrees (before or after 11). This means the transit is going exact or within orb on a point in your birth chart, making this lunation relevant to you.

Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon): September 17th, 2024 (25 degrees Pisces) 10:34 PM ET.

Depending on where Pisces is in your chart, this lunation is activating the slumber party that has been going on in your Pisces house. Pisces is not out of the woodwork with Saturn still trecking through, bringing all my 1993/4-1996 babies through a major transformation, encouraging one to see life with black Ray Bans instead of rose-colored glasses. Saturns purpose, for those who don’t know, is to encourage you to live truly in the moment because time is not promised. What you make of your time now, is all that matters, now.

The axis shift for Eclipses has officially begun to change with this lunation being the first of the Pisces/Virgo axis. Welcome this lunation with love and open arms because we’re setting the tone this month.

Takeaway tips: Look at where Pisces is in your chart and any points that are 25 degrees or within 5 degrees of that (before or after 25). This means the transit is going exact or within orb on a point in your birth chart, making this lunation relevant to you.
