SEPTEMBER 2016 PREDICTIONS

We start out with a solar eclipse in Virgo on Sept 1st, “accompanied by Mercury retrograde, Jupiter and the north node”.  “Solar eclipses bring change and since this one is opposed by Neptune and the south node and squared by Saturn and Neptune, the days around this eclipse will not be easy.”  Saturn and Neptune have been at odds, and if this eclipse finds a door closing on one of your dreams …. let it go!  This is “a month for new beginnings”, and so we must also be willing to allow some doors to close to be able to seize the new opportunities opening for us.  Jupiter moves into Libra on Sept 11th, then we have a lunar eclipse in Pisces on Sept 16th, which is opposed by Mercury retrograde and squared by Mars.  “Mars is forming a difficult angle that is likely to heighten the tension and make proceedings more volatile and emotional.”  Mercury retrograde may make “things initially difficult to understand”.  The lunar eclipse “is joined by Chiron, the wounded healer”, helping us to become “more conscious of our wounds and working to release or heal those particular issues as much as possible”.  Deep wounds, long-held, that we’ve spent “a lifetime trying to avoid”, may come up to be reconciled and healed.  Escapism, addiction and fixing others may be ways we have tried to avoid our own pain, but now is the time to allow those issues to be seen, embraced and released.  Lunar eclipses help bring more clarity to our experience, and so situations should seem clearer by mid-month.  If we feel anger flare-up around Sept 15th – 17th, we can possibly see where we have allowed ourselves to be disempowered.  Release all that is draining and disempowering!  Let us release victim mentality!  Mercury is retrograde until Sept 22nd, so this is a time to slow down and reflect on what is and isn’t working in our lives.  Mercury turns direct on Sept 23rd as the Sun moves into Libra, joining Jupiter and inviting us to relax and enjoy life’s pleasures bravely.  This is a time for great growth!  Be adventurous; let go of “safe structures to see what wants to be manifested” in this month of new beginnings.
