Admit it, Libra. Now that September’s here, you’re already thinking about making a wish and blowing out those birthday candles. Sure, your solar return may be different in 2020 than it was…well, ever before. But you’re adaptable! You’ll make it work! Before you start planning your epic virtual party, use the Full Moon in Pisces on September 2 to shine light on the areas of life that still need some adjusting. Under this sky, you’ll see everything clearly, so take a moment to explore your realities from a different perspective. It’s true that everything looks a bit eerie under this nocturnal illumination, but remember that the Full Moon doesn’t create werewolves—it just makes them easier to see. Don’t ignore what needs to be fixed, Libra. You have the ability to make real, lasting change! Most importantly, be sure to carve out time for yourself. Whether you’re crafting, taking an oil-infused bath, or going on an evening stroll to watch the sunset, explore the pleasure of your own company. You’re delightful!
Usually, when we hear the word “retrograde,” chatty Mercury often comes to mind...but that's mostly only because Mercury goes backwards three to four times annually. Believe it or not, all planets actually go retrograde at different frequencies—and Mars (the planet of action, motivation, and determination) is actually the rarest retrograde of them all. So, of all the years that Mars could go backwards, of course it goes retrograde in 2020! From September 9 through November 13, the red planet will move backwards in Aries’ domain, causing some serious hiccups in your partnership zone. I’m sorry to say, Libra love, but you can most certainly anticipate some major interpersonal shifts this month. But don't panic! I know you’re obsessed with relationship dynamics, but Mars is more about reflection than action. Mars moving backwards won't necessarily prompt dramatic splits…but if something clearly isn't functional, this will be the time to have some honest, painful conversation about the future. You’re brave, Libra. You’re ready.
These conversations will be supported by the Moon’s motion. On September 17, the Sun and Moon team up in Virgo, activating your innate psychic powers during this month’s New Moon. Your intuition will be strong, so even against the backdrop of the New Moon’s intense darkness, you’ll be noticing subtle shifts within your environment. During this lunation, you’ll feel empowered to make choices not just based on what already exists, but also through your divine wisdom—those undeniable gut feelings wired into your psyche. Don’t forget that extrasensory awareness developed so you can flee dangerous situations before they occur…so even if you can’t see the threat directly in front of you, trust that your instinct will never lead you astray.
Phew! That was a doozy! This has certainly been an emotional time, but on September 22, the heavens open up to sing your praise. That’s right, Libra, it’s your birthday—happy solar return! A lot has changed since your last birthday, so be sure to take full advantage of your annual glow-up by honoring your most Libra sensibilities. Enroll in an interior design workshop, treat yourself to a delicious glass of wine, or invite all 500 of your closest companions to a Zoom fete. With the Sun is in your sign, the world is now your oyster, so go ahead and shine! We could all benefit from some beautiful, harmonious energy.
