Energy Update September 2023 – Welcome to this space of the magazine. The one you connect with each month. The moon, the sun. Your spiritual being.
This is an invitation for you to set intentions and reflect throughout the month of September at key moments that punctuate the solar and lunar cycles – a form of soul nourishment.
Have courage, dear heart… This is a month for the Sun and the Moon. Grab a cup of tea (or coffee), your journal, and an open mind.
Let us get started.
SUN in Virgo and Libra August 23rd- September 22nd:
Virgo: the practical and analytical self. Those with their sun sign in Virgo are analytical, action-driven, and practical.
Virgo energy ruled by Mercury is about communicating your ideas with a penchant for details. The shadow of Virgo is being critical, judgmental, and perfectionistic.
Take a journal and a pen. JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- Where do I feel called to invite more practicality into my life?
- What ideas do I want to bring into matter under this energy?
September 23rd – October 22nd:
Libra: connect with balance. Your own energetic scales. Co-create harmony with those around you. Elegance, diplomacy, and fairness.
It is a time to use your skills of diplomacy in order to hear both sides of a story. You may feel called to embrace both in your artistry of life, the light, and the shadow. Create contrast. Libra energy ruled by Venus gives you time to honor the need for harmony, peace, love, and collaboration.
The Shadow of Libra is about indecisiveness and lost to the sense of self.
Take a journal and a pen. JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- How do I balance my own needs with the reality of my life?
- What co-creation am I feeling called to birth in harmony with others?
MOON with Full Moon in Aries + New Moon in Virgo
Create a ritual to connect with the moon. Let me share more about the moon phases and how to honor these.
Last Quarter Moon: Re-evaluate. Last Quarter Moon at 14° in Gemini (Wednesday 6.09 at 5.21 PM CDT, 11.21 PM BST and Thursday 07.09 at 8.21 AM AEST). The time to surrender.
Leo Intention + Gemini Moon = Fire + Air element connection.
Gemini is an air sign, ruled by Mercury. It is all about learning and new experiences. Let’s be curious about our relationships.
It is fuelled by our curiosity to learn more. The knowledge during the Gemini moon provides valuable lessons needed in our life.
Gemini is about being kind. We know Gemini is about communication as well, so embrace this. Nourish your curiosity, find your voice.
Take a journal and a pen. JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- How can I nourish my curiosity?
- What needs to be communicated right now?
- New Moon: Set Intention.
New Moon at 21° in Virgo (Thursday 14.09 at 8.40 PM CDT, Friday 15.09 at 2.40 AM BST and 11.40 AM AEST).
In the darkness. Connect with the seeds to be planted. Virgo Intention + Virgo Moon = Earth + Earth element connection.
Virgo is the yin. The being. Represents the energy of reverence and humility. The need to improve the world. It is an invitation to connect with ritual practices. Rituals to improve our whole well-being and sacredness. Indeed, Virgo is ruled by Mercury, a messenger between the physical world and the sacred world.
In mythology, virgin means “whole and complete”. Virgo’s energy asks you to improve that sense. Prioritize your cyclical practices. Embody your sovereignty, wellness, and joy.
Take a journal and a pen. JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- What is arising, what is my New Moon intention?
- What is wholeness for me?
First Quarter Moon: Commitment. FQ Moon at 29° in Sagittarius (Friday 22.09 at 2.32 PM CDT, 8.32 PM BST and Saturday 23.09 at 5.32 AM AEST).
This is the time to take action. The time to grow. In the first Quarter Moon, you take inspired action toward the plans you have created.
Virgo Intention + Sagittarius Moon = Earth + Fire element connection.
Sagittarius is a yang sign, it is mutable and aligns with the element of fire.
Sagittarius is the Centaur, the blend between two realms, both human and animal. It is about seeking something bigger and seeking wisdom for lifelong growth.
It is the principle of wisdom.
Sagittarius invites us to explore and to wander the path less traveled, and all that it can teach us.
Take a journal and a pen. JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- What path do I need to take next?
- What wisdom do I need to call on right now?
Full Moon: Illuminate. Full Moon at 6° in Aries (Friday 29.09 at 4.57 AM CDT, 10.57 AM BST, and 7.57 PM AEST).
Expression of the need to embody passion. Under the Full Moon, all is illuminated. The seeds and intentions planted in the August New Moon are revealed.
Virgo Intention + Aries Moon = Earth + Fire element connection.
Aries is a yang, cardinal, and Fire sign. It is about this need to be free. Having the courage to follow your path. To be revolutionary. To embrace your true self. It is the principle of activity, this force, and this drive. The Warrior or Warrioress. To embrace change and take risks.
We are in flow when we step into the change, this leader energy, this warrior energy. Aries is the Ram which is associated with force.
The Full Moon invites you to embrace the need to improve it all and just let it be.
Take a journal and a pen. JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- What am I releasing that no longer serves me?
- How can I embrace my inner leader?
