Welcome to Eclipse Season!

We have two weeks before the eclipse season begins (September 7-21), so start paddling, a big wave is coming. Whatever you are doing in your life will get a significant boost in the next month, for good or bad, depending on the direction we choose. 

My 2026 book is almost ready; the cover and layout are in the works. If anyone knows of publishers worldwide that might be interested in translating the book, please connect us. I’m also seeking assistance with marketing, media, podcasts, and press for the book. If anyone has ideas, please share them with me. 

There are a few spots left in my upcoming Kabbalah retreat at Nosara, Costa Rica. Here is the link for info https://cosmicnavigator.com/costa-rica-retreat-a-wish-can-change-your-life-the-way-of-the-creator/

I am traveling to Chicago (Oct 23-29) and New York (Oct 29 – Nov 4). Please email me about workshops and readings in those places. Seminars in Chicago, click HERE.

September begins with a sea change: Saturn returns to Pisces on September 1 (staying until February 13, 2026), re-opening lessons we’ve been navigating since March 2023. Saturn in the sign of oceans and dreams asks for reconnecting and discipline around meditation, dance, movement, logging your dreams, exploring the subconscious, and practically using your imagination in your daily life. Saturn is not only returning to Pisces, but he is also conjunct Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, which enhances the need to be practical with your intuition and mysticism. Saturn wants clear boundaries in all aspects of your life and to avoid any form of escapism. The dark side of this aspect is religious fanaticism and mesianic attitudes. 

September is bookended by two eclipses that accelerate change. The Full Moon / Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 7 closes a chapter begun around March/April: release what’s leaky, forgive what’s finished, and let grief move through. This is the Harvest Full Moon, one of the most powerful lunation of the year.

Two weeks later, the Solar Eclipse in Virgo on September 21 delivers the reboot: new habits, cleaner workflows, health resets, and upgrades to how you serve. A great time to start something that connects to mysticism, meditation, diet, wellness, and imagination. 

Important Dates September

September 1 (Saturn in Pisces until February 13, 2026): Saturn returns to Pisces, where he has been transiting since March 2023. Expect a rise in religious fanaticism, confusion, floods, and conflicts about water or in locations close to seas, lakes, and rivers. Ground your mystical practices, dreams, and intuition.

September 2 (Mercury in Virgo until September 18): Mercury, in his sign of exaltation, is in full thrust, pushing words, sales, ideas, and information. This is a great time for projects that demand precision, micromanagement, organization, and information. A wonderful opportunity for detoxing and cleansing.

September 3 (Mercury square Uranus): A somewhat peculiar day. Ingenious ideas or impractical people might take center stage. Information could be scattered, and you might feel absent-minded. Laughter, humor, and thinking outside the box are recommended.

September 3–6 (Mars square Jupiter): There is a tendency to overdo, overreach, and take on too many things at once. Anger and discord could flare into full conflicts, so be mindful of what you do, say, and write.

September 5 (Uranus retrogrades until February 5, 2026): Uranus retreats to his lab, prompting us to reevaluate our connections with friends, affiliates, clubs, groups, and companies. Revolutions, riots, and issues with governments may arise.

September 7 (Full Moon in Pisces): Welcome to the Harvest Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse! Momentum builds towards closure, especially in work and personal affairs. It’s time to harvest the fruits of your labor from March/April. Mercury provides a touch of reason to an otherwise very emotional lunation.

September 10 (Sun opposite North Node): A talent you have worked on for many lifetimes might make an appearance. It’s also time for a fresh outlook on all aspects of life, especially primary relationships. Let go of familial patterns from your father’s side of the family.

September 12–14 (Sun conjunct Mercury): Enjoy clear thinking, effective marketing, and precise communication, making it a prime time for forging new connections and plans. Jupiter and Venus bless the union of Apollo (Sun) and Hermes (Mercury), who were good friends as well as half-brothers. It’s a good day for business, contracts, writing, and hanging out with friends.

September 17–18 (Mercury opposite Saturn and Neptune): Reflect deeply on your long-term aspirations, adjusting if necessary. You or someone close might come across as stubborn or biased. Avoid disputes with colleagues or superiors. You might feel an opposition between intuition and reason. Integrate what your gut and brain are telling you.

September 18 (Mercury in Libra until October 6): Mercury seeks peace, compromise, and beauty. It’s a great time for healing relationships and harmonizing the workplace. Link artistic talents with your business and work. Revamp your website, redesign your logo, and come up with new ways to brand yourself and your projects. Compromises, negotiations, diplomacy, and mediations are welcomed and reinforced.

September 19 (Mercury trine Uranus and Pluto): An aspect of intelligence, science, and community. The three planets form a golden triangle of protection and luck. Neptune and Saturn assist the flow, and since this benevolent aspect is happening in Virgo, it can improve your health, diet, and work.

September 19 (Venus enters Virgo until October 13): Venus doesn’t like to be in her sign of fall, like a fashion influencer asked to wear a nun’s uniform and join a monastery. You might feel overcritical about your art or partners and feel the criticism of others directed toward you. Gain from being solo or practicing self-sufficiency. It’s a good time to be frugal, balance your expenses and income, and detox.

September 20–24 (Sun opposite Saturn and Neptune): Connect to discipline and focus on endurance, persistence, and strategy. There could be pushback from people of authority or demanding bosses. However, the opposition with Neptune can add intuition, imagination, and a dreamlike quality to the mix.

September 21 (Solar Eclipse in Virgo): Right before the equinox, this lunation is granted much more power. Balance your diet, start a new work project, and get the energy you need to reach the finish line. The Eclipse pushes the planets to bestow their gifts: Pluto (power and intimacy), Saturn (focus), Neptune (imagination and intuition), and Uranus (innovation).

September 22 (Sun enters Libra until October 23): Happy Equinox! The masculine phase of the year transitions gracefully into its feminine counterpart. As one of the four sacred days in the astrological calendar, commemorate it by celebrating relationships, justice, beauty, and art. Over the next 30 days, everyone should embody Libra traits—diplomacy, equilibrium, justice, and attentiveness to partners.

September 22 (Mars enters Scorpio until November 4): Mars is thrilled to be back in his sign, propelling us into action. It’s a wonderful time to collaborate on big projects that demand a lot of energy and resources. Passion, intimacy, and sexuality are on the rise. Great for physical activities in water or reconnecting to sports you are passionate about. It’s an opportune time for research and investigation, as well as fighting for what you believe in.

September 23–24 (Sun trine Uranus and Pluto): A great deal of ideas, creativity, innovation, and invention, not to mention exciting new friends and connections. It’s great for e-commerce and social media businesses.

September 23–25 (Mars square Pluto): The two rulers of Scorpio are in battle, forcing us into actions we might later regret. Be extra careful of aggression or manipulative folks. Take extra heed in general. Actions can be easily misconstrued.
