Astrology Forecast: September 2023

This monthly astrology column will provide insights into your career and overall wellbeing.

September has that back-to-school, let’s-get-focused vibes. You can thank Virgo for that drive to get organized. 

But this year, most of it will be spent in a bit of a haze as Mercury retrograde (August 23 – September 15) is in the sign of Virgo. Retrogrades are an opportunity to reflect and rethink. During this time, it’s normal to have issues with communication, technology and travel. I’ve lost a few phones and laptops to Mercury Retrograde.

You have an opportunity to reflect on your communication, the ways you organize your life and software/resources to help you with your daily work, routines and wellness. During Mercury retrograde, we will learn lessons within these themes. When the new moon in Virgo comes around on September 14, you’ll have more clarity. The mental haze will dissipate. 

Read below for journal prompts for your new moon in Virgo. This is the perfect time to set new intentions, goals and wishes to manifest in six months time with the full moon in Virgo. 

Traditionally, you can read for both your sun and rising. I prefer rising. As in if your rising sign (ASC) is Cancer, read for that. I like to also read for my moon sign when I need extra insights into how I need to self-care and connect with my inner child.
