SEPTEMBER 2026
Mars in Cancer and Saturn, the Great Controller, plodding backwards through Aries, are in conflict at the beginning of the month, bringing pressure and a challenging workload. Luckily, this doesn’t last long; by the New Moon on the 11th, these two have slid away from each other’s influence. Mars enters Leo at the end of the month, boosting confidence with his fiery energy.
Venus, the Goddess of Love and Success, is in Libra at the beginning of the month, skipping over the border into Scorpio on the 10th to coincide with the New Moon in Virgo on the 11th. Venus hosts a Hand of Destiny from the 11th through to the end of the month, radiating with intensity and deep emotional currents, connecting over to Neptune and Uranus as she brings these shifts and changes into being.
The New Moon flows through Virgo at 03:27 UT (GMT) on September 11th, ushering in new beginnings and new initiatives. It’s good news, with Uranus and Pluto happily sharing their flows and starting a series of Grand Trines that are with us until the end of the month. It starts with little Mercury and some interesting news, leading into connections with the Virgo Sun and the Libra Sun. Oh my, a sociable and active time for us all—especially as the world deals with climate change and environmental issues, supported by a progressive Pluto and Uranus!
Pluto the Power and Transformation planet, is now retrograde in Aquarius until mid-October, inviting a slower, more reflective kind of change. This is a time to go within, observe, reassess, and reconnect with our sense of purpose and power. On a wider level, there is a growing sense of collective awareness—people coming together, sharing ideas, and seeking better ways forward. It is a reminder that meaningful change does not have to be rushed; it unfolds steadily, with intention.
Uranus, the planet of independence, identity, and self-awareness, has moved into Gemini. For the next couple of years, Pluto and Uranus will dance with each other, creating peak moments of intensity. Pluto locks power into "the people," transforming society, the way we relate to each other, governments, and human rights. Uranus is the planet of upheaval, rebellion, sudden changes, identity, and self-expression—and he will now flow through Gemini for the next seven years. Expect developments in technology, communication, and governance, alongside new discoveries in medicine, health, and healing that support humanity.
Neptune, the Mystic Muse, is in Aries for the next 14 years. His ideological compassion is already busy oozing across the world. Elements of the 1960s musical revolution are returning, heavily focused on the mind-body connection. This energy opens fresh channels of communication, brings charismatic leaders to the global stage, and fuels spiritual gurus, influencers, and religious fervour. For most of September, the Sun/Mercury, Pluto, and Uranus form a perfect triangle of balance, creating subtle connections and behind-the-scenes negotiations! While these links between three powerful outer planets last a few more months, they permanently imprint their energy of hope and artistic vision onto larger, decade-defining collective shifts—drawing us all toward the arts, interconnected networks, and opening the heart of compassion. So, hold onto your hats while these cosmic shifts take place. It is going to be an exciting and interesting few months. Neptune is slowly meandering backwards, slowing down his spiritual questing with a little confusion bending reality until he turns around in December later this year.
Saturn, the Great Controller of structure and self-discipline, is in Aries, quietly sliding backwards until December 10th, slowing down your work plans and adding some extra limitations for us all.
Jupiter with his Generosity and Enthusiasm sails forth in Leo strong and happy, positively linked up to Saturn all month, building structure and self-discipline for projects, travel options, and leadership.
The Full Moon flows into Aries on September 26th at 16:49 UT (GMT). Although it’s an exciting, active Full Moon—with Neptune the Dreamer wrapping his arms around the Lunar Goddess, and that beautiful Grand Air Trine holding in the heavens—Mars the Fiery Warrior is at loggerheads with Pluto, stirring up mischief and heightening global tensions!
With so many intense and exciting moments this month you might need pay attention to your own energy levels. Stay grounded, spend time in nature ... avoid over stimulating your mind, switch off your thoughts and be playful!
