After all the intensity generated by the three summer eclipses — not to mention all those challenging aspect patterns! — it’s a relief to see more flow showing up in the astrology for the first half of September. The headliner is a fortuitous Jupiter-Pluto sextile, backed up by three new flowing aspect patterns: a Grand Trine, Kite and Cradle.

Saturn turns direct, and a Virgo New Moon contains both flowing and challenging aspect patterns. A Venus-Mars square and a new Double Yod Key land on the challenging side, while the seven peaking aspect patterns that started before September are pretty evenly balanced between challenge and flow. Remain mindful, but you can relax now … just a little bit!
