Astrology for September 2023

We are in the cycles where many go back to school. While the beginning of the month is bumpy because of the Mercury Retrograde till the middle of this month, just remember that taking some extra time to be prepared will settle the stress levels down to a reasonable roar rather than a wailing hurricane.
September 4^th, Venus will come out of retrograde in Leo and we may feel as if finally things are flowing gracefully and our passionate side has a moment to be more playful and creative. Let yourself have fun and remember that laughter is a very good thing.
But this same day, Jupiter decides to go retrograde and it is in the determined and grounded sign of Taurus. I believe that it will allow us to enjoy things more as it slows down. A Jupiter retrograde is not as irritating as a Mercury retrograde. Sometimes we all need a break and to not think about what needs to be accomplished.
There is a New Moon in Virgo on September 15^th and that is going to help us get into planning for the remainder of this year. Intentions are like seeds of potential to the mind and that will allow us to have the desire to lay some new groundwork so that communications can improve and we can navigate this new technology that continues to be challenging all of us to adapt and grow.
September 23^rd, the Sun goes into Libra and we feel into the seasonal shifts that bring us into Fall. Perfect for creating a better work/life balance and to find how to inject playful expressions into work and to bring a more serious focus into play.
Then at the end of the month, September 29^th, we have a Full Moon in Aries which will help us see what we have initiated and managed to accomplish. Passion is in the front and we intend to catch a wave that can lead us towards our deepest desires.
This aspect is perfect for helping us notice what is holding us back and what things are really that spark that can motivate us forward.
The end of this month, tries to help us see that when we pursue peace and understanding, we encourage others to let go of rigid mindsets and opinions. Dreams require us to have hope and faith that change can happen.
