Life has never been more complicated than it is now. Whether it’s our busy lives without space to just be or our reliance on ever increasingly complex forms of technology, we can safely say that simplicity has gone out the window. But what happens when life becomes too complicated? What happens to our psyches when every gap in our existence is full? If we don’t know the answers to these questions, they might be revealed in September, because the energies of the heavens (for the first two weeks at least) are excessive and rather manic, mirroring our lives down here on Earth.

Slow Down and Simplify

We begin September with a cluster of planets in Virgo — the Sun, Mars, Venus, and Mercury — all squaring Jupiter and opposing Neptune. This results in a T-square, an alignment known for its tension and restlessness. This will have an impact particularly on people born under the sign of Virgo, followed by those born under Sagittarius and Pisces, and then Leo, Gemini, Aries, Scorpio, Libra, and Taurus are next in line. Cancer drifts in and out of the tension. The only signs to escape the challenges are Capricorn and Aquarius, but Capricorn has a different set of ongoing difficulties to deal with.
