Full Moon on the Spring Equinox

The New Moon falls in Virgo on Wednesday 8 September, inviting us to be grounded, focusing on the practical day-to-day tasks of life, and paying attention to detail without losing sight of our overall vision. The New Moon is exact at 8.29pm – the 24-hour period immediately following is a powerful time for manifestation, so put out your intentions!

Mercury is still retrograde at the start of September, so be careful with all your communications, written and spoken, and double-check everything, especially messages, addresses and phone numbers. Mercury goes direct again on Monday 13 September.

The Equinox falls on Thursday 23 September. This is the time of year when day and night are of equal length and the seasons come to a point of balance. This is a time to explore what might be out of balance in your own life and find a way to restore that balance, whether it’s in your relationships, your family life, your work or any other aspect of your life.

The Full Moon falls right on the Equinox, making both especially powerful this year. This Full Moon in Aries highlights your ability to be assertive in your life, standing in your power as a warrior of one kind or another, and brings to fruition any project where you have been pioneering, creating something very new. Check your birth chart to see which house is under the spotlight at zero degrees Aries. This Full Moon is exact at 7.17pm AEST.

The lovers Venus and Mars can be seen together in the evening sky this month – look to the west just after sunset, where you will see Venus twinkling brightly, with Mars slightly lower in the sky, recognisable by its reddish colour.

Venus and Mars are still in diplomatic Libra at the start of the month, where Venus has the upper hand, but by mid-September both have moved into intense and passionate Scorpio, where Mars has the ultimate say in what goes.

With Venus and Mars united here, expect passion in your relationships!

With love, Chirone
