Astrological forecast for September 2020
The month of September is the month of the summer to autumn shift.
This energetically powerful turning point calls for us to prepare for the coming Winter, asking for protection and health for the cold days and giving thanks for all the good things Mother Earth has brought us this Summer.
The year 2020, the Year of the Rat, is nearing completion.
The transition year that finally puts an end to the past is the bridge to a new world order of justice.
The 2020 eclipses on the Cancer/Capricorn axis and the conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn at the beginning of January 2020 have made it clear that we are dealing with a new world order.
The old world is over, yet the old world is not ready to give up.
In the past five months, retrograde Jupiter in Capricorn has led to a historic realignment of business and governments, a transformation of our global society.
All the turmoil and upheaval in the world derives from the death of the old world and the birth of a whole new evolutionary cycle.
Especially the autumn of 2020, September, October and November 2020, confronts us with the economic consequences of the extreme measures arising from the developments of the first half of 2020.
The global social development in which the cry for justice accumulates, translates into major worldwide protests.
In 2019 and 2020, police forces and activists faced each other, such as in France and the protests in Hong Kong, Russia and Latin America.
All over the world, various protest movements will continue to stir, develop and become more militant until justice will finally prevail.
September 2020 starts off violently and remains an exciting thriller starring Mars square Saturn.
The planet positions generally do not show a pretty picture. Of course there are little sparks of light, but in general we keep a volatile atmosphere.
Throughout September 2020, Mars in retrograde will square retrograde Saturn in Capricorn which will generally lead to frustration, irritation, delays and setbacks, shortages, financial hardship, drought and scarcity.
In the second half of September 2020, the tension field between Mars in retrograde and Saturn will lead to additional uproar, because it will form a Cardinal T-Square with Mercury in Libra.
A tension of civil unrest and disobedience.
Many of us are concerned about the consequences of COVID-19.
Unfortunately, the economic crisis is far from over and the worst is yet to come.
From the fall of 2020 to mid-2021, we have a rough time ahead of us because of the Coronavirus and the resulting consequences, political unrest and restrictions on the world trade market.
The economic and political crisis will hit rock bottom in the autumn of 2020 and the long aftermath of this crisis will certainly last until the end of 2021.
The best strategy now is to invest in gold or real estate.
The first day of September 2020 will herald the start of meteorological autumn.
On September 2, 2020 is the Full Harvest Moon in Pisces.

In the first week of September 2020, Venus in Cancer gets in a fight with Mars in Aries, which is turning retrograde, and will face retrograde Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. This puts all forms of relationships under pressure.
From September 7, 2020, Venus travels through Leo and when she does, the heat’s off a little.
Mars turns retrograde from September 9, 2020 to November 13, 2020.
Mars descends from 28º8 ‘to 15º14’ in Aries.
Since June 29, 2020 Mars has been traveling through its own sign of Aries and instead of the usual 6 weeks, Mars remains in Aries for half a year and that has not happened since 1988.
Retrograde Mars can lead to worldwide fireworks…
In addition, Mars retrograde correlates to physical vitality, ie having less energy, repressed anger, impotence and fear. Fear translates into aggression. Mars is very strong in its own sign of Aries, but when there is fear, restrained anger and threat, nothing can stop Mars even when retrograde, so the bomb will burst.
Anyone with natal rising sign, planets or major points in the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn will face challenges. Especially those who are reactive and impulsive show self-centered behavior and will do things they later regret.
So, Mars’ smoldering retrograde fire will flare up regularly in the last quarter of 2020, as Mars retrograde will form challenging squares with Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter in Capricorn.
The month of October 2020 can be particularly difficult.
On September 11, 2020, the Sun will opposite retrograde Neptune.
The gigantic light blue planet will be “closest” to the Earth and is completely illuminated by the Sun. Throughout the night, Neptune will be visible with a powerful telescope as a tiny blue dot.
From September 13, 2020, Jupiter in Capricorn turns direct again and the planetary association with the stable terrestrial Sun in Virgo and retrograde Saturn in Capricorn is the only stable factor amid this absurd period of life-changing cosmic energies and changes.
On September 17, 2020, the New Moon will be in Virgo.

On Monday, September 23, 2020, we will celebrate the Feast of Madron, the day when the Sun enters the sign of Libra and shines directly on the Equator, the autumn Equinox.
The magical turning point where day and night are in balance.
Summer for the Northern Hemisphere is now really over. A period of silence in which Mother Nature prepares for Winter, the period of demolition and reconstruction.
Autumn has entered the Northern Hemisphere and Spring is now making its appearance in the Southern Hemisphere, the Spring Equinox.
On September 29, 2020, Saturn in Capricorn turns direct after a five-month retrograde period.
On that particular day, Mars retrograde forms an exact square with Saturn in Capricorn.
A planetary tension of wanting so much, but not being able or allowed to. This becomes even more intense as Pluto in Capricorn is slowly awakening from its retrograde sleep.
Saturn is nearing the end of Capricorn and so it is finalizing, the process of reforming and adjustment is about to reach its completion. We have learned to adapt to “the new normal”, but whether we will keep this up, the question remains.
The Age of Aquarius of freedom, equality and brotherhood is dawning.
From December 18, 2020, Saturn travels through the visionary Aquarius and Great Benefactor Jupiter will also travel through Aquarius from December 20, 2020.
We are having a year of hardship, however it is a year in which things are put in order.
Clearing debris is necessary to create space to keep life liveable.
Hope you enjoy the scents and colors of Autumn, the changing and fading light and the tranquility of the gradually receding nature.
Have a safe September!
