If this is your first time reading the Monthly Space Weather Forecast, here’s an overview of what this is and how to use it + other astrological resources if you are so inclined.
September is all about communication - how we do it, how it shapes our perception of the world, how it can be used as a weapon, and how it can completely transform us. This month a few seemingly contradictory themes will simultaneously feel true:
A need to stand your ground, defend your tribe, and express your opinions.
An ability to use speech as a weapon.
The importance of diplomacy and balancing your needs with the needs of others.
The reality that we’re all constantly evolving, and what you presume to be true today may not be the hill you decide to die on tomorrow.
The trick this month will be to balance all of these trends and watch how they play out across one another. The key thing to remember about balance is that it only lasts for a moment; you find balance today only to find it again tomorrow.
The beginning of the month opens with a sweet spot, which can help you push through blocks you may be up against with a can-do attitude full of hope and will to move forward. This is combined with a fresh reminder of last month's eight-month transit that began on August 20. Continue to pay attention to things that feel prickly, as they may be signs of themes that you’ll deal with until March of 2023.
On September 9 Mercury will go retrograde until October 2. Mercury retrogrades often get a bad rap as times when things don’t go as planned, wires get crossed, and you never get things right the first time around. All of this can be true for Mercury retrogrades, but depending on the broader space weather, they will all have a different flavor. As Austin Coppock put it, Mercury retrogrades (and retrogrades in general) turn statements into questions. This month’s retrograde is happening in the sign of Libra (think relationships, balance, and justice), so slow down in your communications with others, maybe re-read that pointed email a third time before you send it (or better yet, sleep on it and send it the next day). Put a little more thought into actions and relationships that normally feel like no-brainers.
Throughout the month, there will also be an ethereal quality that will bend the nature of reality and possibly ask you to check out. You will need to balance this on the one hand by closely examining the data, facts, and stats while also allowing yourself the space to check out when you need to.
