Welcome to September and welcome to the season of Libra! While the Sun is still in Virgo, Venus, Mercury, and Mars have all taken the lead in libra, so this September will feel more like Libra than Virgo.
The transition from Virgo to Libra is extremely important. If the first 6 signs on the ecliptic (from Virgo Aries) are about the "self", then the last 6 signs on the ecliptic (from Libra to Pisces) are about the "other".
Maybe you've come a long way in self-development and are emotionally mature, but when it comes to actually getting along with others, that's another matter. If we lack connection with others and only arrange our lives according to our own script, we will feel lonely and alienated. And this has nothing to do with whether you are in love or not.
When we truly open our hearts to others, the "self" disappears in some way – which is why the Libra symbol looks like a sunset. But when the "self" falls off the horizon, we "find ourselves" in a larger whole.
Greek mythology says that humans originally had four arms, four legs, and two faces on one head. At that time, human beings had great power and threatened to conquer the gods, so Zeus decided to divide humanity in two to weaken human power and punish human arrogance.
So, since then, everyone's heart has an eternal desire to find the "other half.". It is said that when a person finds his "other half", they have a tacit understanding with each other, they will merge into one, and the happiness and joy of that moment can transcend everything in the world.
Here are the most important astrological events of the month:
September 6, 2021 – Virgo Crescent
On September 6, 2021, the crescent moon appeared at 14° Virgo.
The crescent moon forms a harmonious angle with Uranus, a planet of insight, clarity and opportunity. As long as you open your heart, opportunity will eventually come to you.
If you've been feeling stuck, or confused, and if you're looking for inspiration, this new moon could be the magical moment you've been looking forward to for a long time.
September 9, 2021 – Venus enters Scorpio
On September 9, 2021, Venus left her guardianship of Libra and entered Scorpio, the territory of Mars, so Venus's suppleness and peace are difficult to play.
But fortunately, there is a good mitigating factor, and that is what astrology calls "mutual tolerance." Because Venus falls in the territory of Mars (Scorpio), and Mars will enter the territory of Venus (Libra) from September 14, the forces of Venus and Mars can be compatible with each other, unite with each other, and also bring out the best side of each other.
This is a positive factor for any kind of relationship. In the coming weeks, we'll find ourselves more likely to connect with others, more able to put ourselves in their shoes, and accept and like others as they are.
September 14, 2021 – The Sun divides into Neptune
On September 14, 2021, the Sun in Virgo split off in contrast to Neptune in Pisces. This dichotomy forces us to focus on things that we deliberately neglect because it is so difficult to face them.
At this point, the question asked by the Sun and Sea is, "Who will I become?" and you may be confused in the process, because Neptune is originally a planet with blurred boundaries. But fortunately, Neptune has extraordinary intuition, follow your instincts, and it will take you where you belong.
September 14, 2021 – Mars enters Libra
On September 14, 2021, Mars entered the constellation of Libra. Mars in Libra may not fight for itself, but it will certainly fight for others. Ask Gandhi, Mandela or John Lennon – their Mars is in Libra. They are all called peace warriors, but they all maintain peace by "fighting" the way.
Libra is, after all, a starting sign. Mars, in Libra, will fight for justice, for truth.
When Mars is in Libra, we may fight for what we believe in, support others, or fight anything unjust. This stage is also suitable for resolving the problems and obstacles in the relationship. Mars will give you the motivation to "do something," and Libra will make sure you stay rational and objective.
September 17-23, 2021 – Venus, Saturn, Uranus T Triangle
From September 17 to September 23, the three planets of Venus, Saturn and Uranus will form a phase pattern of T triangles in fixed constellations, which is also a pattern full of contradictions and conflicts.
You may feel familiar with this feeling, but in July, we also saw Venus, Saturn, and Uranus form A T triangles in fixed constellations. Venus was still in Leo at the time, and it showed the tension of the T triangle in a dramatic way, and now that Venus is in Scorpio, we prefer to deal with this tension in a stealthy, independent way.
The T triangle can have a strong impact, but this shock can be crucial. Without it, we will not be able to discern what is really important and what needs to be changed.
September 20, 2021 – Full Moon in Pisces
This Pisces full moon can be said to be sweet and exciting.
At the time of the full moon, Neptune and Mars are separated. Like any full moon, the full moon in Pisces presents two distinct energies of the constellation. For example, the Moon and Neptune want to float in the air and dream, while the Sun in Virgo wants to "do something, do it now." Such relative forces will appear simultaneously and in harmony with each other during the full moon.
September 22, 2021 – The Sun enters Libra
Happy Birthday to all the scales! On September 22, 2021, the northern hemisphere ushered in the autumnal equinox, the southern hemisphere ushered in the vernal equinox, and the sun entered Libra.
No matter where you live on Earth, day and night are the same length. "Equality" is a key word in Libra, but balance is not made out of thin air. Equality is an act of "balance," which requires careful consideration.
Equality also means that we must step out of the subjective world of the individual in order to see the other person as they really are.
When we begin to fall in love with (and not just accept) the differences between people, we can find equality, balance, and peace (all of which are Libra's highest goals). This means that we no longer see others as ways to fulfill our personal ends or as images of ourselves, but as really seeing others as individuals with their own ideas, their own rights.
In the Season of Libra, it is easier than usual for us to open up to others, put "we" before "me," and achieve a win-win outcome.
September 27, 2021 – Mercury begins to retrograde
On September 27, 2021, Mercury began to retrograde at 25° Libra.
Mercury's retrograde in Libra is an important time to reflect on the past and re-evaluate life. And because Libra is about the constellation of relationships, this assessment also focuses more on the field of relationships.
Human beings are social animals, and we cannot live without others. Others are not just partners, but also a mirror. With others, we can jump back and forth between different thoughts, feelings, and experiences and discover more.
We need to present a part of ourselves to others, because doing so allows us to get feedback and remain rational. If we don't socialize with others, we will live a life of arrogance and nervousness.
Don't be afraid of water retrogrades. Mercury's retrograde journey in Libra gives us the opportunity to complete some of Libra's homework and also gives us a more honest, balanced, and fulfilling relationship.
Finally, I wish you all a happy September
