Just like that, we find ourselves near this year’s finish-line, dear reader. September’s doors are wide open, welcoming us to a whole different dimension – Christmas season starts in our little corner of the world, and with that comes a multitude of energetic layers that we all know and love too well. From the outsider’s perspective, the shift is palpably visual – colorful yuletide designs grace the lamp posts on the streets, malls, parks, and everywhere else where people gather. Jose Mari Chan serenades us in our social media feeds, and in public areas. Early Christmas sales starts popping up everywhere, from online to real life, and traffic, though slightly better than in previous years, begins to swell once again, as if in steroids, as people move about, adding to the lively holiday buzz.
Internal shifts happen too—mentally, we begin to relax. We’ve weathered the worst of the year’s extremes, from scorching summer heat to nearly drowning in the typhoon season. Now, we’re rewarded with cooler, crisper air that feels well-deserved. There’s a new spring in our step, brought about by elevated moods and a lighter disposition.
Yet, as we approach the end of the year—a time often fraught with stress—we find ourselves juggling the pressure of wrapping up quotas, pushing to finish strong, and preparing for the holidays. The reality of blowing through Christmas bonuses also looms large, as expenses skyrocket with gift-buying, preparations, vacations, and all the other “necessities” that seem to vacuum away our resources. Despite all this, we somehow feel calmer, more at peace.
The season’s spirit is unmistakably in the air, dear reader, reminding us that the most wonderful time of the year is just around the corner—at least from our perspective!
The cosmic weather, however, tells a different tale.
Early in the month, URANUS enters its annual retrograde period, prompting us to revisit areas where we may have resisted change or clung too tightly to comfort zones. This retrograde is a reminder that true security comes not from resisting change, but from embracing it and finding new ways to ground ourselves in an ever-changing world!
As the month closes, we are blessed with a Sun-Mercury conjunction, a much-needed catch-up that can provide us with sharp clarity and great insight, now that Mercury is finally direct. Tasks that require brain power can be scheduled during this time, so we can make the most of the energy!
Sandwiched between these transits, is this month’s main event:
A Partial Lunar Eclipse, in PISCES!
Yes, eclipse season is back, dear reader! And with it, a box full of surprises that is sure to elicit excitement, confusion, restrictions, and all kinds of mixed emotions!
While the Lunar Nodes remain in the Aries and Libra axis, a teaser eclipse occurs mid-month in Pisces, the sign of the mystic. This is the first eclipse here since the eclipse cycle of 2015-2017, making it a significant event! Great beginnings and great endings happen wherever this lunation lands in our charts, so you can try to look back at the areas of your life that experienced intense changes the last time the eclipses visited Pisces.
Those with personal planets and points from 11°-21° of MUTABLE SIGNS (GEMINI, VIRGO, SAGITTARIUS, PISCES) will feel this eclipse strongly, Most especially those born on these dates:
GEMINI: June 2 - 11
VIRGO: September 4 - 13
SAGITTARIUS: December 4 - 13
PISCES: March 3 - 12
This eclipse, though partial, is far from subtle. It’s wedged between two cosmic giants—Saturn, the enforcer of restrictions and limitations, and Neptune, the master of illusion, delusion, and imagination. The resulting energy is a paradox—heavy yet dreamy, grounded yet elusive. Does it sound confusing? It does, because it is! But that’s the nature of this cosmic dance, dear reader—slow, deliberate, and full of unseen shifts. So as we move through this month, remember to breathe deeply, stay grounded, and prepare for the steady unfolding of what’s meant to be revealed. ❤
