There’s no denying it, Aquarius—it’s easier for you to be cerebral than emotional. Most of the time, this is totally fine. In fact, intellectualizing everything is fairly efficient coping mechanism…but right now, you just don’t have enough energy to compartmentalize. On September 2, during the Full Moon in Pisces, you’ll feel totally tuned into your deep, primal sensitivities. Under this sky, ignoring your emotions isn’t an option. You need to be honest with yourself not just about what you’re feeling, but why you’re feeling it, giving yourself permission to be messy, complicated, and chaotic. Yes, Aquarius, you too are a multidimensional being who’s filled with complexities! Under the light of the Moon, allow yourself to be all of the things. Who knows…you might even feel better when you actually allow yourself to unravel. Give it a whirl!
Just a few days later on September 9, Mars (the planet of action, motivation, and determination) begins its rare retrograde cycle. Every two years, this red planet goes backwards for approximately two months. And although we often associate the word “retrograde” with Mercury, Mars’ backward glide is much more impactful. For you, it activates your communication sector, encouraging you to carefully reexamine your bonds (including your relationships with friends, colleagues, siblings, and classmates). You love to share controversial thoughts and ideas…but have you been inadvertently drowning out others? Your progressive bravery is infectious, but make sure not all of your conversations are turning into a diatribe. You should be engaging your peers in dialogue—not monologues. Through mid-November, be aware of how you’re engaging with others. This will not just give you information about the relationships, but how you can make changes that fuel greater personal growth.
On September 17, the New Moon in Virgo will help you separate the past from the present, while still inviting you show off your battle wounds. Listen, Aquarius, no one can deny what you’ve been through—it’s been a doozy! But even still, you’re always having new experiences. You don’t want your current circumstances to be shadowed by old narratives, do you? New Moons symbolize beginnings, so during this lunation, set intentions that plant seeds for the future. Focus on cultivating your dreams and wishes. As the most socially-minded sign of the zodiac, how can you explore community through a hopeful, optimistic vantage? What if you shifted the story to focus on strengths instead of weaknesses? Possibilities instead of disappointments? Successes instead of failures? Under this sky, conversation feels like healing. Don’t be afraid to open up dynamic discussions.
On September 14, the New Moon in Virgo activates the area of your chart associated with resources and—perhaps more importantly—the emotional implications of capital. Cash always comes at a cost and under this velvety Moon, you’ll begin to explore the true meaning of responsibility. This lunation inspires strategic budgeting as opposed to big spending, so this is a great time to reflect on your complex, multidimensional relationship with money. This relationship can't be defined by a bank balance or bills in your wallet: It’s an energetic frequency that emits both positive and negative frequency. Right now, don’t worry about the signals—simply become aware of the fact that this antenna exists in the first place. That’s the best place to start.
Finally, on September 22, the Sun drifts into Libra, a like-minded air sign. The energy is inspiring and for the next few weeks, you’ll feel accomplished, proud, and especially brave. Now, you have enough perspective to look back on your journey with confidence. Look how far you’ve come! By the end of the month, be sure to celebrate your achievements through activities that help you align with your purpose. Spend time in nature, participate in a protest, or start a new creative project. Don’t be afraid to honor your intellectual wanderlust, Aquarius. It’s what defines your spirit!
