Pisces
This is another rather incredible month for you, Pisces, with a huge focus on key relationships in your life and what they have to teach you at both surface and deep layers of your psyche, as you grow. The Leo mid-August eclipse New Moon initiated a thirty-day lunation cycle that has yet ten days to go in early September. There is also to consider the very recent Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in your sign, from late night August 27th with the Virgo Sun quite closely conjunct Mercury in your opposite sign. This potent lunation implies that issues of self and other are illuminated and being brought to greater conscious articulation for you as the month begins. September is therefore an excellent time to converse with trusted partners, or perhaps to fill journal pages, in attempt to better comprehend this important area of life. The eclipse Sun and Moon were closely aligned with Pluto in your twelfth sector of unconscious process and square Uranus at 5° of Gemini, in your fourth solar sector, making a T-square to destabilizing Uranus in this sensitive area of home and family. In the wake of this extremely potent recent Full Moon eclipse, you might find novel ideas and – as well – surprising events relating to your domestic scene. There could also be intuitive revelations that flow and can be teased out by your logical mind, especially with mental Mercury having been so deeply entwined in the astrology. As the current month continues to unfold, the Virgo New Moon of the evening of September 10th in your relationship sector provides further stimulation and consolidation of all this partner-oriented psychological and real-world activity. Chiron, the Wounded Healer, is also then activated at 0° Taurus, in your third sector of communications, curiosity, and learning, directly opposed to Venus, relationship planet and the ruler of your eighth solar sector of intimacy and personal evolution. Mercury is again triggered in this mid-month intense lunation. The chances are good that something will come up to further your understanding of hidden complexes of inner wounding – the likely residue of early childhood trauma – in connection to your home life and your key relationship patterning.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here.
Mars Sextile Mercury and Aspecting Jupiter + Saturn – Sept 1st
As Mars in Cancer sextiles Mercury in Virgo, in your relationship sector, you may feel driven and instinctual around romance while also being able to practice discernment and selectivity. You could find it easier to discuss what excites you with a partner. You could also be motivated to bring more pleasure and joy into your relationships! Mars and Jupiter also have a bit of friction – which could result in work opportunities or health priorities perhaps getting in the way of your fun. Mars’ aspect to Saturn could also coincide with a lack of self-worth or simply feeling you are missing the funds to fuel plans with partners.
Venus Opposite Chiron – September 7th - 12th
Travel, learning, or exploring new ideas could feel especially enjoyable with Venus moving through your ninth sector of higher knowledge and broader perspectives. You may feel drawn toward experiences that expand your worldview and beliefs. Chiron in your third sector of communication and everyday interactions might expose sensitivities around speaking up or feeling confident in what you have to say. You could also feel caught between trusting what you know and worrying about whether you can express it clearly.
The New Moon in Virgo – September 10th
The Virgo New Moon takes place in your seventh sector of relationship, beginning a new cycle around an important or prospective partner, likely giving you a new view on your relationship dynamic in general. With Mercury, the ruler of this New Moon, highlighted in your eighth sector of intimacy and personal evolution, you may gain some clarity around how deep, vulnerable, or trustworthy a key partner might actually be. You could also be looking more closely at shared money in this context. Mercury’s opposition to Neptune could bring a spiritual perspective or perhaps make these matters more difficult to see clearly. You might idealize a partner, become emotionally overwhelmed by the depth of a relationship situation, or struggle to separate what you know from what you hope or fear. Mercury’s semi-sextile to Venus could also create friction between what you’re feeling beneath the surface and what you believe your life should look like. You may find that something you thought you understood about intimacy or trust doesn’t quite square with broader beliefs or expectations. Mercury is trine to both Uranus and Pluto, which is also quite important and could bring revelations that change how you understand your own inner dynamics, perhaps through an unexpected development at home or a realization deep with you that emerges during solitude or contemplation. The Sun and Moon in sextile to Mars could make it easier to act on what you want, perhaps bringing more passion, playfulness, or spontaneity into your interactions within key relationships.
Mercury Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 11th - 13th
Shared financial matters could become more difficult to interpret as Mercury in your eighth sector of intimacy and shared resources opposes Neptune in your second sector of values, money, and self-worth. You could also perhaps be uncertain about what makes you feel secure within an intimate relationship, especially when your own needs are difficult to define. Mercury’s trine to Pluto could bring hidden motivations or self-limiting thoughts into awareness, while potentially intensifying your desire for privacy and control over your world.
Mercury Trine Uranus – September 12th - 14th
As Mercury trines Uranus, intimate conversations could take unforeseen and possibly liberating turns. Something you learn within an important relationship could shift the emotional atmosphere at home, bringing a psychological shadow into awareness and changing how you relate to your past. Uranus can disrupt familiar emotional patterns; this potent archetype may also encourage a more independent approach to your private life.
Mercury Opposite Saturn – September 16th - 18th
Intimate conversations could become more serious as Mercury opposes Saturn, particularly when money, possessions, or questions of security are involved. You might hesitate before sharing something important or making a decision that affects another person, especially if concerns about what you can afford or what you deserve are weighing on you. A slower, more deliberate approach could help you think through what you’re willing to share or commit to.
Mercury Sextile Jupiter – September 19th - September 22nd
Mercury in sextile with Jupiter could make it easier to talk through shared financial or emotional issues, which can in turn lead to workplace or health improvements. Because having constructive and honest conversations is easier now, you might find that addressing something complicated with a coworker helps ease tension. This aspect could also help lighten some of your everyday responsibilities, particularly if another person is able to take on more or help you resolve something!
Libra Equinox – September 22nd
Something beneath the surface of your shared financial or emotional life could come to light as the Libra Sun enters your eighth sector of hidden matters and intimacy. You may see a dependency or exchange with someone else more clearly or be ready to address complex issues that involve your partner. Fairness and cooperation are possible when you are willing to meet each other halfway.
Sun Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 23rd - 27th
Sexual connection, shared resources, or even the topics of grief or crisis could become more difficult to navigate as the Sun opposes Neptune. You might find yourself questioning what you truly need from others versus what you’re capable of providing or processing yourself. You could also find yourself emotionally overwhelmed by experiences of grief, crisis, or deep intimacy, making it difficult to determine what you need in the moment. Meanwhile, Pluto in Aquarius could bring buried unconscious material to the surface, drawing your attention toward fears or unconscious habits that have been operating beneath your awareness.
Full Moon in Aries – September 26th
This Full Moon in Aries is very significant for you because once more aligning with the heavy-duty astrological players of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. This intense lunation in your second sector could bring a culmination around your resources, income, or sense of personal value, perhaps making you more aware of what you have, what you need, or what you're willing to do to provide for yourself. With Neptune, your ruler, in close conjunction with the Moon, your relationship with emotional security could seem to be especially important to you now. Your sense of identity could be tangled up with issues of allies or resources so that it felt difficult to separate them out. Highlighted Saturn then adds a sobering layer, asking you to acknowledge your financial limits and consider what is actually sustainable. The Full Moon’s ruler, Mars, is in your fifth sector of pleasure, creative expression, romance, and any children in your life, possibly bringing some of those topics into the equation. You may feel motivated to spend on something that brings you joy or decide to value a creative or romantic pursuit. With Chiron, now also in your second sector, and squaring Mars, your desires could rub up against insecurities around money or personal value, making it harder to freely pursue what you want. At the same time, the Sun in Libra trines Pluto and Uranus which could open the door to deeper emotional and domestic changes connected to this Full Moon. Something that has been kept largely unconscious could become more consciously significant, while an unexpected shift at home could alter how you think about security or what you need to feel grounded. This could be an emotionally revealing moment that helps you better understand what needs to change as you chart your path moving forward.
Mars Enters Leo – September 27th
You may have less patience for inefficiency in your work and daily life as Mars enters Leo, in your service sector, prompting you to take charge and get things moving! You could feel a new sense of mission, become more assertive with coworkers, more decisive about your habitual routines, or more greatly eager to take on daily tasks that require initiative. Physical activity may also be attractive to help burn off excess energy, though frustration, overwork, or minor health issues could arise if you push too hard.
Mercury Enters Scorpio – September 30th
With Mercury in your ninth sector of beliefs and worldview, your mind could become increasingly absorbed in subjects that expand your philosophy, while travel or education could also become more active. Researching something intensely or pursuing a course of study may feel altogether compelling to you now! Teaching or sharing what you know could also be stimulating, especially when you decide you have something meaningful to say. Conversations about spirituality or life issues may carry more emotional weight so that easy answers may feel less satisfying.
