September astrology transits to watch
This week has been super productive for me - I've been harvesting herbs, canning vegetables, and cleansing my home to get ready for the fall.
Does anyone else feel like autumn is a great time for cleaning and cleansing? As a transition season, the energy is volatile, making this a great time to purge and cleanse out old energy to make way for the new.
Of course, we're right smack in the middle of Virgo season, and Virgo is the organizational queen, which doesn't hurt! Virgo falls in my 4th house, so it makes sense I want to clean and prep my physical home. Look at the house Virgo falls in with your own chart and see where you might be feeling that nit-picky, productive energy.
Speaking of astrology, here are some of the big transits coming up:
- New moon in Virgo on September 14th
- Saturn just entered Pisces (a push towards moderation in habits and collectivism)
- The North Node recently entered Aries (and the South Node entered Libra)
- Venus retrograde is over, meaning we can finally make progress when it comes to relationships and finances
- Mercury stations direct on September 15th, which is also great for communications and professional life
Basically, we're going to move toward action. If you've been looking to get things done, look forward to that energy very soon!

P.S. I'm working on lots of astrology posts on the blog, but I haven't gotten to every placement yet. If there's a specific placement you're looking for that isn't listed, respond to this email and let me know, and I'll add it to my content calendar!
P.P.S. I recently added a new tier on the Patreon that includes all sorts of digital downloads like a Tarot workbook, a witchy planner (a calendar, spell workbook, moon workbook, etc.), and fun Tarot spreads like an autumn harvest spread, a deity identification spread, and a relationship evaluation spread.

Divination is a fascinating field, but let's be real—it can also be incredibly daunting. The intricacies of tarot, astrology, and rune casting could fill entire libraries.

I mean, seriously: how are you supposed to get a straight answer if you first have to learn an entire tarot deck? But here's the thing: divination doesn't have to be complicated. Today, I want to share with you the three...
