The Sun is in Virgo and therefore it is time to focus on your physical health/diet/exercise and work/job. This is a time to get organised and seek order in your life.
The New Moon is in Virgo on September 8 at 16 degrees at 8:29pm. A sensitive Mars/Neptune link at this New Moon makes it easier to put energy (Mars) toward your dreams, (Neptune). Mercury is retrograde suggesting the high functioning analytical skills of Virgo need double checking. Review the facts and reconsider your systems and plans. Streamlining is possible if you put existing facts together in new ways. Venus will soon enter a place of weakness to sort out relationship concerns sooner rather than later. Health and wellness are in focus as the purity of Virgo helps you embrace self care rituals.
The time of the New Moon is fertile and planting seeds has a positive effect. The suggested areas of your life are:
• Diet
• Exercise
• Tasks and errands
• Co-workers
• Structured routines
• Healing
• Orderly environments
• Handling details
• Paperwork
• Punctuality
• Focus
• Discernment
The Full Moon is 1 Degree Aries on 23 September at 7:17pm. This Full Moon, right at the equinox, brings timely reminders of balance. As the Sun reaches it’s point of equality harmony is possible on earth. The Sun and Moon meet as equals, creating the perfect celestial climate for earthly equality. Justice can be created as the Sun in Libra creates the backdrop for fairness while the Moon in Aries fights for the underdog. Power planet Pluto adds intensity to the emotions and energy released at this time. Obsessive thoughts can drive dramatic acts of passion. Motivated by the right reasons, you can be a vessel for change.
September is a number three month. A month when burdens ease. It provides an opportunity to fall in love or have an affair – but above all be careful that the fun does not cost you for years to come.
Our Goddess for September is the Kuan Yin or Miao Shan – actually in India and Tibet she is Tara. The Goddess of Compassion is the female equivalent of Avalokitesvara, the male bodhisattva of compassion.
The Goddess is often depicted with the sacred lotus flower, symbolising purity and enlightenment; pearls of illumination; and a small vase filled with divine nectar.
Our Tarot card for September is the three of swords. The three of swords heralds strife, conflict or separation (perhaps after you’ve been caught out having that affair). This painful state is in some way necessary, and there is a realisation that blindness and self-delusion cannot go on. This is like the breaking of an abscess, so that the body and soul can begin to heal.
Our animal totem for September is the eagle. This is one of my totems so I am more than happy to share him with you. When eagle appears as one of our totems we are being asked to soar with the element of air. Air is of the mental plane, and in this instance it is of the higher mind. Wisdom comes in many strange and curious forms and is always related to the creative force of the great Spirit.
If you’ve been walking in the shadows of former realities, Eagle brings illumination. Eagle teaches you to look higher and to touch Grandfather Sun with your heart, to love the shadow as well as the light. See the beauty in both, and you will take flight like the eagle.
Eagle medicine is the gift we give ourselves to remind us of the freedom of the skies. Eagle ask your to give yourself permission to legalise freedom and to follow the joy your heart desires.
Interesting footnote: I drew Eagle when I left Vermont for the first time in 1998. At that time my life change dramatically and the power of the Eagle has been with me ever since.
Virgo is fastidious and at the same time a healer. Peridot is a powerful cleanser. Releasing and neutralising toxins on all levels the subtle and physical bodies, and the mind. It opens, cleanses and activates the heart and solar plexus chakras and releases old baggage. Burdens, guilty or obsessions are cleared. Peridot teaches that holding on to people, or the past, is counter productive. Peridot shows you how to detach yourself from outside influences and to look at your own higher energies for guidance.
September is synonymous with the concept of “spring clean”. Peridot is a great crystal to have around as you cleanse the old and outworn and prepare for the new energies to come into your life.
For me, September has always be a vibrant month and I hope that this is true for you this year.
Live in Love and Harmony,
Harles
