Pursuing Peace: September 2021 Astrology Forecast
Pursuing Peace
“He who lives in peace with himself lives in harmony with the universe.” Marcus Aurelius
Peace. What a beautiful yet often elusive concept! We all seek it, search and strive for it. We know we want more of it in our lives, but it often seems difficult to hold on to. What does it take to achieve a stronger sense of serenity, even in the midst of this unsettling world? Astrologically, September supports us in harnessing more calm, composure, and tranquility in our lives, even in the face of challenges. This is the month to pursue peace personally and in the world surrounding us.
Peace begins with each one of us. In fact, one of the biggest obstacles to peace can can be our own minds. Humans are hardwired to worry and have apprehension, so it’s important to work on removing mental stress and replace it with more life affirming thoughts. Focusing on the positives in life rather than the calamities helps us feel more hopeful and in control of our lives. Learning to live in the NOW with mindfulness, gentleness and ease is a big part of creating more peace in our lives.
Peace is not the absence of conflict but the ability to manage challenges constructively, and to work together toward greater understanding and harmony. In our relationships, peace comes from striving to have clear communication while understanding and adjusting to each others’ needs, feelings, quirks and moods. And in our selves, it means experiencing and reacting to life with inner balance, calmness and equilibrium. Most importantly, holding love and compassion in our hearts for one another is imperative for peace. Once we’ve achieved peace within ourselves we can manifest it in all other areas of our lives!
September is the month to heighten our harmony and work toward further peace — inward and outward, balancing our lives and loves. In the weeks ahead we celebrate the equalizing energies of Equinox with the Sun, Mercury and Mars in Libra, enabling us to weigh and measure the issues of our world with greater care and creatively. As Mercury starts a retrograde path this month, joining all the outer planets also in ‘backwards’ motion, this is a time to look deep within, reflect on how we can grow our personal peace and take meditative measures to cultivate further serenity. You owe it to yourself! :-)

* 11 September 2021 (10th in U.S.A): Venus goes into Scorpio — The Transformational Power of Love! With the planet ruling love, attraction and relationships moving into this intense Scorpio sign, our passions become pronounced, perceptive and provocative. We can now experience a true body-mind-soul connection with those we love as well as attracting to us more karmic kinships. This can also be a powerful time of emotions and expression of affections. We can become consumed with love, wanting it to transform or transcend our everyday lives though our deep feelings. Be mindful of possessiveness, jealously and “all-or-nothing-at-all” behaviour and compulsions with significant others. Mystery, secrets and strong intuitive energies can show themselves now as well. This is a time for honouring our passions and the power of beauty and the transformational power of love! Venus will be in Scorpio until 7–8 October 2021.
* 15 September 2021 (14th in U.S.A.): Mars goes into Libra — Harnessing Harmony! For the next 6 weeks the planet ruling activity and energy couples with the sign representing relationships, artistry and balance. We now strive for more harmony, peace and beauty in our lives and with each other. Greater creativity and the need to interact is enhanced, so use this time to cultivate connections and express your aesthetic visions! This is an excellent cycle for sharpening your conflict management skills or finding an expressive project that brings holistic and therapeutic benefits. Be mindful however of indecision, passive-aggressive behavior or vacillating between the pros and cons of taking action. Instead of provoking others, use the energies at hand to express diplomacy and artistry. Where can you direct your energy to grow more harmony and happiness with others in your life? Mars will be in Libra until 30–31 October.
* 21 September 2021 (20th in U.S.A.): Full Moon in Pisces — Illuminate Your Beautiful Soul! We are encouraged now to honour our intuitive feelings and work more with our dreams, imaginations, visualizations and artistic expressions! This is perfect occasion to bring into alignment our spiritual and sensitive faculties, using the Lunar Light to brighten our vision and tap into Universal wisdom and ethereal knowledge. Embrace greater love and understanding of yourself and those in your life, as being in tune with others brings greater self awareness. Speak from the heart, share your soul and be mindful of similarities, not differences. Release past hurts, dismiss self doubt and honour our unique spiritual expression is the message of this Full Moon in the ethereal sign of Pisces. By focusing now on love, compassion, empathy, understanding and the Universal connection we all share, greater harmony, peace and happiness can fill our lives. (*Full Moon 28° Pisces Times*: New Zealand: 21 September 11:55am; New York: 20 Sept 7:55pm; Chicago: 20 Sept 6:55pm; Los Angeles: 20 Sept 4:55pm; Melbourne: 21 Sept 9:55am; Mexico City: 20 Sept 6:55pm; Buenos Aires: 20 Sept 8:55pm; London: 21 Sept 12:55am; Zurich: 21 Sept 1:55am; Singapore: 21 Sept 7:55am; Hong Kong: 21 Sept 7:55am; Santorini: 21 Sept 2:55am; Cape Town: 21 Sept 1:55am; New Delhi: 21 Sept 5:25(IST); Moscow: 21 Sept 2:55am; Dubai: 21 Sept 3:55am)
* 23 September 2021 (22nd in U.S.A.): Sun into Libra — The Equinox: Embrace Equilibrium! Begin a new season of harmony and peace, bringing forth further ability to embrace equilibrium in our lives while honouring our inner beauty and intelligence. As night and day are equal during this Equinox, we can learn how relationships in our lives mirror ourselves, and that meeting others halfway, finding commonality and learning to compromise is the key to balance, happiness and equality. This is the time to reflect on soul-symmetry, while considering which areas of your life could do with an infusion of love, attention and harmony. Letting go of fears and being more mindful of our plans for the future allows us to move forward with greater confidence! Feel decisive and positive with new relationships, begin creative projects and embark on self-care regimes now! Happy Equinox! The Sun will be in Libra until 22–23 October.
* 27 September 2021 (26th in U.S.A.) Mercury in Libra goes Retrograde! — Revising our Expectations! A big part of keeping greater balance in our lives is not expecting total fulfillment or total calamity at every turn. As the planet of Communications starts its backwards crawl in Libra, we are reminded to ditch the drama and try to keep objective! This is a time to consider moderation in all that we do as this will help us cultivate greater emotional, mental and physical peace. Combined with an optimistic outlook we are urged to seek out the best but accept that things may not always work out as planned. It is important now to keep level-headed in our thinking and balanced with our feelings as we take extra care in our interactions. Relationship issues can be highlighted now as we are urged to seek peace and harmony with those in our lives and with ourselves as well. Mercury will be in Libra until 5–6 November.
* The Outer Planets stay in a sign for a longer period of time, so their effect on us is more gradual, but significant none the less. Here they are in their current positions:
* Jupiter is Retrograde in Aquarius: Jupiter, the benevolent planet representing expansion, moving ‘backwards’ through the compassionate sign of Pisces, brings a new cycle of understanding as it continues its Retrograde motion. Jupiter in Pisces, which lasts for about a year, marks a period of greater feeling, sensitivity and creative/mystical inspiration! It is also a time of further philanthropic outlooks, humanitarian efforts and feelings of ‘Oneness’ with the Universe! This is a period emphasizing our care of one another, greater equality, the breaking down of barriers and the growth of our spiritual awareness. We are encouraged to grow our intuitive natures and embark on holistic endeavours and look to greater healing — of ourselves and others. This compatible Jupiter/Pisces pairing increases our creative awareness, philosophical expressions and the need to serve the world by sharing our feelings of love and care with one another. There will be an increased awareness of social justice, equal rights and improvements in wide ranging humanistic projects. As Jupiter moves through ethereal Pisces we may experience a “New Age” feeling of spiritual growth and the chance to make positive changes in how we view ourselves, each other and our world. We now have the opportunity to be more aware of the positive effect that we can manifest in our own lives while also being cognizant of the suffering of others and what we can do to liberate the oppressed. Jupiter will be in Pisces until 29 July 2021 (when it Retrogrades back into Aquarius) and then again in Pisces from 30 December 2021 to 11 May 2022.
* Saturn is Retrograde in Aquarius: As Saturn, the planet representing responsibility, maturity and structure retrogrades through the liberating sign of Aquarius, we’ll experience a reviewing process of the major concerns for our society, each other and our life on Earth. Greater humanitarian, socially empathetic and altruistic endeavours will be all in line for revision. This reworking cycle will focus on gaining awareness of the importance of each individual, cultivating greater tolerance, broad-mindedness, liberalism and working toward a collective consciousness — shared beliefs and attributes that can unite us rather than divide us. A detachment from the old ways of doing things in favour of new innovation will also be readdressed. Additionally, new technological, medical and scientific advances will will mark this period along with new methods of working toward the betterment of society. This Saturn Retrograde cycle helps us to rework our guidelines and leadership direction now for a more positive and prosperous time ahead. We’ll be urged now to reconsider what’s no longer working in our lives and what we can do to improve ourselves and our course of action for a better future tomorrow. Saturn will be going Retrograde from 23 May 2021 until 11 October 2021. Saturn will remain in Aquarius until 7 March 2023.
* Uranus is Retrograde in Taurus: The planet signifying change, revolution and innovation, is retrograding in the sign of Taurus which represents its opposite — stability, assurance and safeguarding! For the years ahead this Uranus/Taurus pairing will highlight liberation from the customary way of doing things in favor of new methods and inventive techniques. Also, as Taurus rules our personal values, creativity, material goods, finances, food and general enjoyment, we will see new innovations in these areas. Uranus will seek to shift the security-conscious/money-minded principles of the Bull by remodeling the way we handle our resources, material wealth and investment interests. We can expect a new wave of economic innovation helping us to focus on being more authentic and practical in our approach to things. We will also experience further shifting themes on how we view stability. More change will certainly be a feature in our future, so expect change, revolution, fluctuation and acts of defiance. Be ready to adapt rather than fighting to hang onto the old ways of being! Remember: Change equals opportunity! Uranus will be in the sign of Taurus until 7 July 2025.
* Neptune is Retrograde in Pisces: The planet ruling dreams and creativity continues its retrograde motion through its ruling sign of Pisces, we are encouraged to honour more of our spiritual awareness, artistic inspiration and intuitive insight! Greater appreciation for the beauty around us as well as within us is also emphasized. We are urged to feel and express greater “we-are-all-one” compassion toward ourselves and others — along with further sympathetic understanding and involvement with humanitarian endeavours. Greater focus on our faith, spirituality and need for understanding of one another is highlighted! With Neptune in Pisces, we are helped to be more ‘in tune’ with our feelings, sensitivities and artistic side of our nature. We can also find further focus on our faith, future hopes, visions of a better tomorrow, spirituality and global understanding. Neptune will be in Pisces until 31 March 2025.
* Pluto is Retrograde in Capricorn: As the planet of Transformation continues its ‘backward’ travels through the sober sign of Capricorn, we reexamine serious issues and concerns regarding the positive changes we would like to make to ourselves and our world. The overall theme of this cycle is uncovering the misuse of power and authority to enable change for the better. It represents a major time of rediscovery, review and reconsideration that brings transformation to our society, government, world order and Mother Earth. It also pushes us to think about the changes we want to make to our belief structures and our power as individuals and as citizens of the world. Pluto will continue to be going back and forth in Capricorn until 20 November 2024.
* Chiron is Retrograde in Aries: As the minor planet/comet Chiron, connected to the archetype of the “wounded healer” moves through the independent, assertive and aggressive fire sign of Aries, our identities are highlighted. During this time we’ll have greater opportunity to overcome personal obstacles, discover new strength, manifest healing and further self confidence. Chiron is said to act as a link between the conscious and unconscious and as such, can represent transformation in body, mind and soul. As we surmount challenges, we find greater empowerment, advancing our unique spirits while manifesting more of our dreams. Chiron will be in Aries until 2027.
