Energy Update September 2024
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. Analytical, actions and practicality.
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 loss of 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 New Moon in Virgo + Full Moon in Pisces
Create a ritual to connect with the moon. Let me share more about the moon phases and how to honor these.
New Moon: Set Intention. New Moon at 11° in Virgo (Monday 2.09 at 8.55 PM CDT and Tuesday 3.09 at 2.55 AM BST and 11.55 AM AEST).
In the darkness. Connect with the seeds to be planted.
Virgo Sun + Virgo Moon = Earth + Earth element connection.
Virgo is the yin, the being. It represents the energy of reverence and humility, the need to improve the world, and the 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 19° in Sagittarius (Wednesday 11.09 at 1.06 AM CDT, 7.06 AM BST, and 4.06 PM AEST).
This is the time to take action. The time to grow. In the first Quarter Moon, you take inspired action towards 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 wander the less traveled path 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 25° in Pisces + Eclipse (Tuesday 17.09 at 9.34 PM CDT and Wednesday 18.09 at 3.34 AM BST, 12.34 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 + Pisces Moon = Earth + Water element connection.
Pisces is a yin sign, mutable and connected to the element of water. It is all about the principle of unity and connection within.
It is about trusting ourselves. To be guided by our intuitive wisdom. Take a journal and a pen.
JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- What needs to float away from my life right now?
- What emotion am I holding onto?
Last Quarter Moon:
Re-evaluate. Last Quarter Moon at 4° in Cancer (Tuesday 24.09 at 1.50 PM CDT, 7.50 PM BST and Wednesday 25.09 at 4.50 AM AEST).
The time to surrender.
Virgo Intention + Cancer Moon = Earth + Water element connection.
Cancer is all about yin. It is a cardinal and a water sign. Yin is all about the divine feminine, and water is about embracing our emotions. The sign of cancer represents nourishment and feeling safe; it is a nurturer.
Cancer is all about the softness and feminine parts of the body, so look after those parts. This is a time for nourishment. What self-care rituals can you embrace at this time?
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:
- How can I nurture myself right now?
- What emotions do I need to surrender to?
