September 2020 Motivational Astrology Forecast

** Cultivating Courage **
“Courage is doing what you’re afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you’re scared” — E Rickenbacker
We all need to be brave through these difficult times. Even though we may doubt our own courage, deep down it’s there for all of us. Within each of us is the confidence, strength and self-belief to overcome any fear and rise above any challenge. We have the power to persevere during hardships, keep moving forward despite blockages and hold tight to our dreams no matter the obstacles. This is the month for honouring your personal strength, embracing a determined mindset and cultivating the courage to surmount any difficulty.
We all have fears. Courageous people are still afraid, but they don’t let fear paralyze them, while those who give in to fear only strengthen its bond. When we avoid facing something that frightens us we may feel we have escaped it, but we’ve really just postponed a reckoning. Our fears grow with each avoidance, and we remain stuck in the same place, a victim of our timidity. Realizing your dreams requires the courage to face your fears and move past them. You must be brave to succeed. Recognizing your bravery, no matter how insignificant the situation may seem, is empowering and continues to fuel your self confidence.
September is the month to be consciously courageous and take more control of our efforts and outcomes. As we welcome the Equinox, tap into the intensity of Mars in Aries (going Retrograde!), use the discipline of Virgo and the balancing energy of Libra, we can embrace a new period of courage, patience and strength. Take advantage of these planetary energies in order to move past your fears and reach more of your true potential!
What are the important dates to know and the Astrological energies to utilize for greater positivity in the weeks to come? Here’s your Motivational Astrology Forecast for September 2020:
* 2 September (1st in U.S.A): Full Moon in Pisces — Honour Your Soulful Self! This mystical Full Moon in the emotional and ethereal sign of Pisces, encourages us to honour our intuitive energy — bringing opportunity to align more fully with our spiritual and creative natures. Through this enchanting celestial cycle we reflect more on our dreams and emotions, acknowledging our receptive and perceptive souls while feeling greater empathy and compassion. This is a time of unconditional love and acceptance — for ourselves and others. The Full Moon, representing culmination, urges the release of any blockages or fears we harbour in order to create a more soulful, loving and heart-centered life. Work now to embrace your inner voice, listen to your feelings, grow your instinctual wisdom and tap into additional Universal strength and support! The effort you put into your dreams during this Lunar light can have everlasting effects! Use this astral signal to further value your sensitive essence, be kind to yourself, be gentle on your journey and cherish the beautiful spirit that YOU ARE!
* 6 September (5th in U.S.A): Mercury goes into Libra — Balanced Expectations! With Mercury, the planet of thought, expression, movement and communication going into the balancing sign of Libra, we enter a new phase of balanced expectations. A big part of keeping greater harmony and health in our lives is not expecting total happiness or total calamity at every turn. Ditch the drama! Moderation helps us cultivate greater emotional, mental and physical peace, especially when combined with an optimistic outlook that looks for the best but accepts things may not always work out as well as we’d like. This new cycle of “balanced thinking” helps us to better plan our goals and work toward a more creative, “zen-like” approach to ourselves and others. Mercury will be in Libra until 26–27 September.
* 6 September Venus goes into Leo — Grow your Glory! Positivity starts with you — your thoughts about yourself, your perceptions of who you are and the belief in your potential! With Venus, the Goddess of Love planet, shining brightly in the effervescent sign of Leo, it’s time to honour your individual beauty, creativity, self worth and self expression! Appreciating your personal talents, in all their forms, helps you to be more aware of them and what you can share. Don’t look to others to establish who you are, what you should think or how you are valued! Remind yourself of all you’ve lived through, learned, and accomplished and the things that make you truly magical! For the weeks ahead: treat yourself, appreciate yourself, applaud yourself and admire who YOU are! Venus will be in Leo until 2–3 October.
* 10 September (9th in U.S.A): Mars in Aries goes Retrograde — Cautious Actions! The planet ruling energy, action and combativeness in its own sign of assertive Aires brings an extremely dynamic period — especially as it begins its “backward” movement, now until 13 November, 2020. The last time this Mars Retrograde occurred in Aries was 1988 — but this time it will be even more powerful as it makes challenging connections with Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. As this Retrograde Mars in Aries continues though the U.S. presidential elections, we can expect a combative and divisive time, with angry and reactive feelings going back and forth and potential for the abuse of power. Strong confrontational and combative emotions are highlighted — not only with world events but in our own personal lives. This is a time to be cautious, to think before replying, not to take things too personally or overreact to situations. On the upside, during this Retrograde occurrence we may have greater focus, determination, drive and endurance regarding our personal goals and passions. Use this time to rework or revise life endeavours while finding greater inner power, self-awareness and personal strength. Mars will be Retrograde in Aries until 13–14 November and remain in Aries until 7 January 2021.
* 13 September (12th in U.S.A): Jupiter in Capricorn goes Direct — Reality Check! With the expansive planet Jupiter coming out of Retrograde and going Direct in serious Capricorn, we let go of misinformation, fabrications, rhetoric and propaganda and get real with our objectives and goals. We now get to experience a true reality check — getting clear and focused on the things that are important to us — globally and personally. For the time ahead we’ll be more focused on results, factual truths, the reality of situations and down-to-earth practicality. This is a new cycle of responsibility, duty and improved morality — especially regarding those in power. As Capricorn is an Earth sign, we’ll be addressing better ways to organize our lives while striving for greater security, stability and structure. We will now be concentrating on steady growth, working on long term goals and improving the rules we live by. This is a great occasion for personal improvement and embarking on important and substantial new methods of individual growth, health, learning and personal enhancement. Use this Jupiter/Capricorn period to reap the benefits of lessons learned from the past, helping advance your goals and find ways to improve all areas of your life! Jupiter will be in Capricorn until December 2020.
* 17 September: New Moon in Virgo — Healthy Habits! This new Lunar cycle activates the analytical and rational sides of our nature, encouraging us to become aware of the healthy changes we need to make in order to truly advance. This is a powerful cycle for releasing any debilitating situations, circumstances or relationships in favour of healthful endeavours. Use this time to end feelings of doubt or worry as what you do now sets the stage for rewards in the weeks ahead! With the Moon in Earthy Virgo, practical problem solving, organized thinking and greater health and wellness is emphasized. We can now tap into a more discriminating, detailed, conscientious and analytical vibe — helping us to repair and empower our mind, body and spirit. This is an important occasion to initiate healthful routines, wholesome endeavours and self-healing love. Go ahead and set your intentions — you’ll have keener clarity now on how to be proactively productive in advancing your future objectives! Allow this Earth energy to help you eliminate waste, alleviate illness and embrace ways to grow your individual aptitudes and abilities. What you do today sets the stage for rich rewards going forward!
* 23 September (22nd in U.S.A): Sun goes into Libra (Equinox!) — Embrace Equilibrium! Begin a new season of harmony, 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: Mercury goes into Scorpio — Seeking the Solution! With the planet ruling communication, thought and interaction moving into the sign representing intensity, mystery and intrigue, we can seek and find solutions to many of the challenges we currently face. At this time a window of opportunity opens, allowing us to make positive changes in the way we think and express ourselves. We can now get to the bottom of important issues as our investigative skills are sharper and our analytical abilities more precise. This time is advantageous for in-depth study or researching projects, while using intuitive energy to solve problems. We can better understand the motivations of ourselves and others, while transformation of our thoughts and interactions is highlighted. This is a time of impassioned communications, inspirational ideas and empowering personal awareness. Use this time to declutter the mind, focus on changing negative mental habits and getting to the heart of any matter. What can you improve when it comes to how you think and communicate — not only with others but with yourself? Mercury will be in Scorpio and then Retrograde back into Libra in October, going Direct in November and staying in Scorpio until 1–2 December 2020.
* 29 September (28th in U.S.A): Saturn in Capricorn goes Direct — Taking Responsibility! As the planet representing accountability, maturity, hard work and achievement now moves forward after over 4 months of Retrograde motion, we too can now advance the serious plans and projects we want to implement for our futures. Our energies are now centered on practicality, efficiency, realism, creating and restoring order and securing the structures of our lives. Rewards will come now to those who pun in the efforts that merit achievements — and to those who show thoughtful concern, patience and perseverance in their undertakings. With Saturn in Capricorn now Direct, we can focus on righting the wrongs around us, encouraging a new era of ethical concerns and rewarding authenticity. Saturn will be in Capricorn until 17–18 December 2020.
* 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 in Capricorn comes out of Retrograde and goes Direct (12–13 September): With Jupiter continuing to move through the serious sign of Capricorn, we let go of the fantasies and delusions and get real with our dreams and desires. This is the of the true Reality Check! For the time ahead we will be more focused on results, factual truths, the reality of situations and down-to-earth practicality. This is a cycle of responsibility, duty and improved morality — especially regarding those in power. As Capricorn is an Earth sign, we’ll be focusing on better ways to organize our lives while embracing greater security, stability and structure. We will now be concentrating on steady growth, working on long term goals and improving the rules we live by. Because we’ll be more hard working, dedicated and serious, we’ll have a better chance of success, progress and material well-being. This is also a great occasion for personal improvement and embarking on important and substantial new methods of individual growth, learning and development. Use this Jupiter/Capricorn period to reap the benefits of lessons learned from the past, helping advance your goals and find ways to improve all areas of your life! Jupiter will be in Capricorn until December 2020.
* Saturn in Capricorn is Retrograde (goes Direct on 28–29 September): With Saturn in Aquarius going Retrograde we will be refocusing concern for our society, each other and our life on this Earth. Greater humanitarian, socially empathetic and altruistic endeavours will be sought after. This cycle will focus on gaining greater awareness of the importance of each individual, urging us to cultivate more tolerance, broad-mindedness, liberalism and working toward a collective consciousness. As this planet representing structure, stability, responsibilities and those in ‘positions of power’ is Retrograde, we’ll be focusing on reworking our guidelines and leadership direction for the time ahead. We are urged to reconsider what is no longer working in our lives and what we can do to improve ourselves and our course of action now for a better future tomorrow. This is a time of considerable social change, but also research into new methods for solving old problems and revamping technological and scientific projects. By using the knowledge that we gain from past experiences, we can acquire greater wisdom, self awareness, patience and finally, advancement. With Saturn Direct, we can further advance the serious plans and projects we want to implement for our futures. Our energies will be centered on practicality, efficiency, realism, creating and restoring order and securing the structures of our lives. Saturn in Capricorn will go Direct on 28–29 September, advancing into Aquarius on 17 December 2020. It will remain in Aquarius until 7 March 2023.
* Uranus is in Taurus is Retrograde: The planet signifying change, revolution and innovation is in the sign of Taurus which represents its opposite — stability, assurance and safeguarding! For the next 7 years this Uranus/Taurus pairing highlights 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. As Uranus continues its 5 month Retrograde cycle, we’ll experience further shifting themes of how we view stability. More change will certainly be a feature in our future, so expect change, revolution 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 going Retrograde until 14 January 2021 and will be in the sign of Taurus until 7 July 2025.
* Neptune in Pisces is Retrograde: The planet ruling dreams and creativity continues its transit through its ruling sign of Pisces, encouraging us 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! As Neptune goes Retrograde, we will be urged to readdress all the above issues and re-evaluate how we plan to manifest our future hopes and dreams. Greater focus on our faith, spirituality and need for global understanding is highlighted! Neptune will be in Pisces until 31 March 2025 and Retrograding until 29 November 2020.
* Pluto in Capricorn is Retrograde As the planet of Transformation continues its long journey through this sober sign, going Retrograde from now until 3 October 2020, we get serious about making positive changes to ourselves, our leaders and our world. The overall theme of this cycle is uncovering the misuse of power, greed and corruption to bring reform and grow our overall progress. 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 be Retrograding until 4 October 2020. Pluto will continue to be in Capricorn until 24 March 2023.
* Chiron is in Aries Retrograde: 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.
*Blessings to You and Yours for a more Stronger and more Successful September! You are Loved and Appreciated!*
