September is the month of the Autumn Equinox for the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of Spring for the Southern Hemisphere.
This energetically powerful turning point calls for us to prepare for the coming Winter, asking for protection and strength for the cold days and giving thanks for all the good Mother Earth has brought us this Summer.
The first day of September 2022 marks the start of Meteorological Autumn and is accompanied by the Alpha Aurigids meteor shower.
This month all planets are retrograde…. except Venus and Mars.
The slowing impact of the regressive Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto is collectively of great influence.
With no less than 5 oppositions, September 2022 is an emotional month of financial and relational challenges, a month of upheaval and turmoil.
On September 3, 2022, the first opposition in September 2022 of Mercury in Libra and retrograde Jupiter in Aries at 6º can lead to great plans and bold ideas in business, but can also cause self-doubt and the questioning of these seemingly grand ideas.
Our winged messenger Mercury is in the shadow period as from September 10, 2022 to
October 1, 2022 it will retrograde for the third time in 2022.

The Full Harvest Moon in Pisces of September 10, 2022 and its aspects with Mercury retrograde in Libra, the rising opposition of the Sun and retrograde Neptune in Pisces, could cause slowdowns in trading, travel and significant stock market losses.

The second opposition this month is on September 17, 2022, the Sun in Virgo at 24º will be exactly opposite retrograde Neptune in Pisces.
The gigantic light blue planet is then “closest” to Earth and is completely illuminated by the Sun. Throughout the night, Neptune will be visible as a small blue dot, only with a powerful telescope.
The volatile opposition of the Sun in Virgo with retrograde Neptune in Pisces can be the source of illusions, deception and disappointment, dreaminess, addiction, dishonesty, discontent or misplaced trust.
This opposition can lead to instability, inflation, chaos, violence and crime, as well as extreme weather events, water shortages, climatic conditions such as sea level rise, melting of glaciers, seismological and volcanic activity.
With the influence of Mars in Gemini, a worldwide increase in infections of infectious diseases must also be taken into account.
From September 17 to October 24, 2022, for the last time, we will face the volatile square Saturn (collective karma) square Uranus (reactionary revolt) that has plagued us so much since the middle of last year. What we witness is a replay of events from late 2021.
This planetary influence could be the trigger for declining stock values, war and stagnating trade.
Social tensions can then spiral out of control like an outburst of violence, as there is now a feeling of disenchantment and fear that there will never really be a change.
A real breakthrough is expected from January 22, 2023 when retrograde Uranus in Taurus will resume its direct orbit around the Sun.
The third opposition on September 19, 2022 of retrograde Mercury in Libra and retrograde Jupiter in Aries at 4º requires vigilance, because with this planetary challenge, important details are overlooked. Uncomfortable situations arise in all forms of relationships due to less self-confidence, naivety, provocation, insincerity, wrong humor and also doubt. (‘am I crazy’?)
Doubt can take its toll. New relationships eventually take shape after a long lead-in period, but faltering relationships still come to an end.
On September 23, 2022, the Sun enters the air sign of Libra, and on this day we celebrate the Feast of Madron, when the Sun shines directly on the Equator, the turning point of the Fall Equinox.
The magical turning point where day and night are of equal length.
Autumn has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere and in the Southern Hemisphere Spring has arrived, the Spring Equinox.
The wheel of the year turns to colder, darker times. The autumn season has arrived, the time of harvest and gratitude.
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.
With this shift to Libra, we long for collaboration and togetherness.
The Sun in Libra symbolizes justice, balance, harmony and integrity.
The period to October 23, 2022 will focus on fairness, cooperation, justice, balance and how we share information with each other and how to balance the complex interpersonal dynamics as a whole.
The fourth opposition this month is on September 24th between Venus in Virgo and retrograde Neptune in Pisces at 23º, making it seem like things aren’t real. Do we want to know where we stand? Sometimes the illusion is more beautiful than the reality and then you only want to see what you want to see.
The New Moon in Libra on 2º49 of September 25, 2022 forms an increasing opposition to retrograde Jupiter in Aries. A feeling of unease and self-doubt can prevent those opportunities from being fully utilized.
Yet there is that restlessness, discontent and tendency to exaggerate due to the influence of retrograde Jupiter in Aries. Beware of taking risks and speculating.

The fifth and final opposition of September 2022 will be on September 27, 2022 at 3º between the Sun in Libra and retrograde Jupiter in Aries. This contrast makes it feel like anything is possible, but it can soon be “too much of a good thing.”
In itself, this contradiction can have a positive effect, but there are caveats. With this opposition, there is a tendency to do the exact opposite, ie civil disobedience and protest.
Especially in this polarized world, it is important not to shy away from constructive communication and to treat each other with respect.
We have to do it together, but it won’t be easy with all challenges ahead…
The end of 2022 is rather dark and stormy with war, economic turmoil, major global challenges such as war, scarcity, extreme drought, fires and large-scale shortages and a resurgence of the pandemic.
When the deafening noise around you is overwhelming, seek the silence within yourself.
Enjoy the scents and colors of Autumn, the fading light and the tranquility of the gradually receding nature.
Wishing you all a safe month of September!
