Astrological monthly forecast September 2021
The last quarter of the year of the Metal Ox is here….
With no less than five planets in retrograde, September 2021 can be seen as a breather, but also a planetary emergency stop, so progress is likely to be substantially inhibited.
Above all, Mercury turns retrograde at the end of September, so we are already in the pre-shadow or retro shade period of Mercury. 
The feeling that everything has come to a standstill is also because the storm between the planetary giants Saturn and Uranus has temporarily subsided. From the end of October 2021,
this tension field is getting stronger again.
September 2021 gives us the opportunity to create what can be achieved in the up coming months.
The year 2021 is part of a long process of reform both individually and society, all in the midst of an ongoing pandemic.
Retrograde Jupiter in Aquarius will bring additional frustration until October 17, 2021, because we must take into account unexpected events that require travel plans to be adjusted or postponed.
The first half of September 2021 is mainly characterized by the opposition between Mars and retrograde Neptune, a trine of Mars in Virgo with retrograde Pluto in Capricorn and in the second half of the month, the entry of the Sun and Mars into Libra, followed by a Great Trine in Air and Mercury’s retrogradation in the sign of Libra.
The exact opposition between Mars in Virgo and retrograde Neptune in Pisces on September 3, 2021 marks a completion and the beginning of recovery after a difficult period.
However, in the first week of September 2021, the same opposition between Mars in Virgo and Neptune retrograde in Pisces places a smokescreen. We are distracted from relevant matters and things will be glossed over, while collectively there is so much need for clarity and certainty.
Yet, we all have to find a balance between acting and dreaming.
Both collective and individual, a defined strategy is necessary, because otherwise we will lose our way.
From September 2 to 11, 2021, the Black Moon and the North Node in Gemini are aligned and form a trine in the element Air with retrograde Saturn in Aquarius and Mercury in Libra.
The North Node symbolizes our motivations and karma and the Black Moon symbolizes the repressed side of ourselves that we hide from the world. This conjunction points to the urge of liberation from the social pressure to conform to social norms.
The connection between Saturn and Mercury is about determining the meaning and purpose of our own life. Not everything we see is real. Not everything we hear is the truth.
We want the truth out and want it now!
The New Moon on 14º38 in virtuous Virgo of September 7, 2021 is a powerful New Moon and forms a beautiful trine with retrograde Uranus in Taurus.

In the second week of September 2021, Mars in Virgo will trine Earth with retrograde Pluto in Capricorn. A driving constructive force for study, culture, career, the travel industry and the financial world.
However, Mars in Virgo trine retrograde Pluto in Capricorn also shows the need to solve first problems that we thought we had already solved.
In September to early October 2021, there are as many as six planets in retrograde (including Mercury in Libra from September 27 to October 17, 2021) and this planetary brake also emphasizes the fact that the new is only possible when the old is dissolved.
On September 11, 2021, Venus will enter the intense waters of Scorpio, the sign of Pluto, the planet of transformation. Scorpio rules over power, money, shared resources, joint finances and secrets.
Until October 7, 2021, there will be an intense atmosphere of all-or-nothing in social interactions.
Astrologically, love planet Venus does not feel at home in Scorpio, the sign which also ruled by Mars.
In the complex Scorpio, the harmonious nature of Venus is mixed with passion, desires and temptation, as well as conflicting interests, jealousy, fear, guilt and shame.
Venus in Scorpio is extra critical and eager to find solutions to complicated situations.
Red Warrior Mars, the counterpart of Venus, will travel through Libra from September 16, 2021. Mars doesn’t feel at home in Libra, the sign of relationships and connections, art and beauty.
In spite of the fact that Mars in Libra encourages creative collaboration and logical thinking, brings greater mutual understanding, persuasion and adaptability, Mars can also be the cause of complacency and conflict within partnerships. Until October 30, 2021, the journey of Mars through Libra can create an explosive atmosphere and make trouble outside.
Mars will reside in this sign of Relationships and Connections until October 30, 2021.
Anyone with the Sun, Moon or ascendant in the sign of Libra benefits from this energy. For those with the Sun or ascendant in Aries and Scorpio, this Mars in Libra energy can be very challenging and competitive in business as well on a personal level.
The Full Moon at 28º14 in Pisces of September 20, 2021 can be rather tricky, when Mars in Libra will be opposite the Full Moon conjunct retrograde Neptune in Pisces.

On September 23, 2021, the Sun will enter the sign of Libra, the day when the Sun shines directly on the Equator.
The moment of the Autumn Equinox for the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of Spring for the Southern Hemisphere.
With this magical turning point, day and night are of exactly equal duration on this day.
This energetically powerful turning point calls for us to prepare for the coming Winter, asking for protection and health when it gets colder and giving thanks for all the good Mother Earth has brought us this Summer.
On September 26, 2021, there will be a Great Trine in the element of Air, starring the Moon in Gemini, the Sun and Mars in Libra and Saturn retrograde in Aquarius. This alignment promotes curiosity, the desire to learn, to socialize and the exchange of ideas and social events.
From September 27, 2021 to October 17, 2021, Mercury is retrograde in Libra.
Mercury’s last retrograde period in 2021 will reveal deeply hidden and highly sensitive issues intertwined with intimacy within relationships.
This is also a period of reunification and re-establishment of connections that have been broken in recent months.
Mercury retrograde in Libra refers to the revision of professional contracts and reunion with old loves, a reconciliation or an emotional closure.
Over the next three weeks, we will have the opportunity to think, review and rethink our lives, take stock and get to grips with who we are and how to move forward.
If we don’t get a grip on exactly what’s going on, what our situation really is, we’ll have another chance with Mercury retrograde in Libra. If there are conflicts in your current relationship that you have been trying to avoid, they will still come to light.
With patience and the golden mean we come a long way.

Summary: September 2021 is generally a favorable period for negotiation, justice, cooperation, social relations and reconciliation. A positive and inspiring time in which the general focus is on being together and inner development. September 2021 is also a month when, despite the strong influence of Libra, we must independently take matters into our own hands and pursue goals, as outside help or advice is not always guaranteed.
Enjoy the scents and colors of Autumn, the changing and fading light and the tranquility of the gradually receding nature.
Wishing everyone a beautiful month of September.
