As I breathe in the crisp air of September, the atmosphere is filled with possibility: eclipses, planetary shifts, changing timelines. We are walking a tightrope.
When we remain heart-centered, joyful, and hopeful, even as world events feel painful and terrifying, we glimpse the possibility of real change: voices of reason and connection rising to meet the challenges.
The astrology of September supports this expansion of soul-centered living.
Jupiter in Cancer reminds us to trust in the power of unconditional love.
Saturn retrograding back into Pisces, with Neptune soon to follow, grants us a few more months to deepen our spiritual and creative practices. This is the way through challenging times: step by step, cultivating discipline and devotion. Meditation, yoga, walking in nature, sacred reading are the anchors that prevent us from collapsing into overwhelm or powerlessness.
We are blessed with two eclipses this month: a Lunar Eclipse in mid-Pisces on September 7 and a Solar Eclipse at the very last degree of Virgo on September 21. Eclipses move us rapidly to our soul-centered path. Sometimes we are also forced to let go of something that no longer serves. Alongside the recent Virgo New Moon, these cosmic markers permeate us with the energy of service and devotion for two months. The message is clear: surrender and trust the cosmic order.
Spiritual truth whispers that love is all there is. Love is the antidote to fear. The planets this month invite us to embody this truth, to practice surrendering to love.
As we do, the tightrope widens into a path. We expand the love within—or remember that we have always been infinite love. Bit by bit, fear loosens its grip, and we see that one misstep will not plunge us into the flames.
Meanwhile, Saturn and Neptune foreshadow their upcoming journey in Aries, urging us to find courage to chart a new course. Pluto and Uranus spark transformation, awakening radical new ideas.
We can embrace love and connection while also taking action to restructure the systems so clearly in need of change.
Love is a practice. Love is also a choice. It is the best choice in this moment, especially when the news of world events seems to crush your spirit, which. is, in fact, uncrushable. Love is who we are, and it is the foundation from which all true solutions arise.
