September Energy Forecast – Restore Your Well Being

Hello, I’m Kari Samuels, your intuitive counselor and happiness coach with your September forecast and happy birthday to my fellow Virgos. And you lovely Libras. So September is a soulful month. This brings a lot of spiritual energy, a lot of spiritual lessons. We actually have some intensity ramped up a little bit this month. I know, right? 2020, this is our final stretch if you can believe it.

And we have a lot of opportunities to gain spiritual mastery. So, in September, this is the month where we go back to school and we start a lot of training or lessons or education. This is the time when we had our fun and Leo, we did our, our summer things here in the Northern hemisphere. And even if you were in the Southern hemisphere, Leo brought some more extroverted energy and fire. Well, now we’re back to earth. We were in Virgo season and Virgo is all about earth. Virgo is a practical sign.

So this is about really synthesizing and taking everything you’ve been learning from throughout the year. And you’ve been learning a lot and synthesizing and integrating it and bringing things back to earth, really discerning how you can take what you learned and make it useful for you, make it practical for you.

September Energy Forecast

If you know the symbol of Virgo, it’s the earth goddess and she is holding wheat, right? Which is a little bit ironic because a lot of health-minded Virgos are gluten-free so including myself. So, but Virgo is all about the harvest, right? And archetypically Virgo comes during autumn. Now, even if you’re in the Southern hemisphere, the archetype of autumn, when the leaves are falling off the trees and there’s this sense of stillness. So when the leaves are falling off the trees and preparation for winter, there needs to be a conservation of energy. You need to really only take with you what’s useful.

And that’s what Virgo teaches you, how to synthesize everything that you’ve learned and make it useful for you, make it practical. And there’s this sense of letting go what’s not important. Virgo offers you the art of discernment discerning what is nourishing for you and what is no longer necessary, what you need to let go of so that you can harness your energy, gather your energy for what’s useful and important. So this art of discernment is really going to come in handy. Now in this digestion, Virgo actually governs digestion, the physical act of digesting. I know that’s so glamorous.

And so Virgo teaches you how to do that. Digest all of the energy and all of the information and make it something that you can use. That’s actually nourishing for you and this archetype of the Virgo goddess, the earth goddess, the maiden. It’s really about that. That goddess is really a symbol of a woman who is complete upon herself, who needs nobody else in order for her own wellbeing in order to give her information.

September Energy Forecast

So you’re really learning right now, how to listen to your intuition, how to listen to what’s inside of you and discern what is nourishing. And this has definitely been a year that has been confusing. There’s a lot of chaos and there’s a lot of noise out there. And I hear a lot of people saying, I don’t know what to believe anymore. I don’t know what my purpose is anymore, or this used to be important for me. And now it no longer is.

Now we’re in this four universal year. Now, four is also associated with earth and grounding and getting real and practical. It’s about the practical material things. But one of the major lessons of the number four is to teach you how to have freedom within restrictions. Four is about boundaries and it’s about restrictions. And four teaches you how to work within those boundaries and how to work within those restrictions.

And certainly we’ve had a lot of that this year, and we’ve had to pair things down and with the restrictions that have come upon us. We’ve had to learn, what’s really important to us. What’s really beneficial for us. What truth is for us, right? Haven’t you been learning that? So every September, because this is the ninth month of the year, the lessons of the year are accentuated because this is also a four universal month. So we’re in a four universal year in a four universal month.

September Energy Forecast

Now September, 2020 is actually a higher octave of the four. It’s a 13 universal month. Now 13 in the tarot is the death card. And this is a symbol of death and rebirth. Now this isn’t really a physical death. This represents similar to what the energy of autumn is. This is about weeding out the garden, taking away weeding out of your spiritual garden. Anything that isn’t benefiting you, isn’t giving you life. Isn’t nurturing you.

That’s what you do when you weed something it’s detritus, it’s taking up energy. It’s weighing you down and in your life, you may have some energy leaks that are siphoning your life force that are keeping you from doing what it is that you’re meant to do on the planet. And Virgo ultimately is the sign of service, how you benefit the greater good, but before you can help other people, you have to nourish yourself.

You have to perfect the self. You have to be complete upon yourself. Otherwise you’re just a martyr, right? And so there’s another energy that’s accentuating this this month. Mars is in Aries for six months this year, which is an exceptionally long time. Now Mars is the planet of fire and Martian energy, war and aggression and action and the physical. It’s a very physical energy. It’s very passionate energy. Mars is in his home sign of Aries for six months.

September Energy Forecast

Now, the reason he’s in for six months, which is very long for Mars is because he’s retrograde for two months. This year from September 9th, through November 13th. Now, when a planet is retrograde, you have to really relearn some of the energies that you may have overlooked through his first pass in that sign, right through the first pass in a planet sign. So when a planet is retrograde, it’s going in energy.

It’s reverse energy, which is a little bit uncomfortable because Mars loves to move forward. This is the forward moving planet and the energy that pushes roots through earth. This is like really forceful energy, but this is probably why we’ve seen so much volatility. Now, Mars and Aries, the sign of the self teaches you how to stand up for yourself and stand up for what you believe in.

And sometimes that is initiated with anger. Sometimes anger is here to show you enough is enough. I can’t take this anymore. So we’re seeing this globally. And you’re also witnessing this personally, there are things that are infuriating you, that are making you angry. This is giving you the Moxie, the fire in your belly to stand up for what’s important for you and to also stand up for yourself. So as we have this Virgo energy that is teaching you to nourish yourself, we have this retrograde in Aries.

September Energy Forecast

That’s teaching you to remember, to believe in yourself, to put yourself first, to fire up your passions for what’s important for you and what you believe in and how you can be of service in the world and how you can also preserve your energy. So you’re not giving away all of your energy to the world. That’s a delicate balance, right? This is the art of life. This is a lesson that we all live every day. It’s really being accentuated this month.

So how do you navigate all of these different energies at once? I have three action steps for you. They are very practical action steps because I am a Virgo and I love to give practical action steps. So these are practical steps that you can do to help you navigate this sometimes fiery energy and this sometimes introverted energy of Virgo. How do you navigate this dance?

First Step

Okay. So your first action step is to notice how you feel as you are thinking your thoughts. We all get into these loops, these mental loops, these thought patterns that are not nourishing. The way to notice what you’re thinking, what you’re feeling or how you’re responding to people and situations in your environment is to notice how you feel as you interact with these elements. As you interact with the people in your environment, as you interact with your own thoughts. You want to Marie Kondo your life, right? This is Marie Kondoing your thoughts.

So it’s like, as you’re thinking something, notice, be the witness, notice, is this nourishing me? Or is this really bringing down my energy? Is this causing me fear or anxiety? Is this like depleting my life force? Remember the energy of autumn, the weeding. This is about weeding out. What’s depleting your life force. So you really want to notice when you’re thinking something. And when you’re caught in a spiral and addiction of a thought pattern, that’s enervating you that’s causing you fear. Are you listening to people who are invoking fear?

Are you listening to people who are divisive or causing chaos? Or are you doing that with your own mind? So Marie Kondo that. Is this bringing me love or moving me forward? Is this motivating me passionately, giving me life, or nurturing me? Or is this depleting my life force and making me anxious? People, circumstances and thoughts. You want to be mindful and notice how you’re feeling.

Second Step

So after you do that, this brings us to action step number two. Let go of the people, circumstances and thoughts that are depleting your energy. Remember weed, that garden, right? You want to bring new life and new growth. There’s a lot of opportunities. This four energy is teaching you how to have freedom within restrictions. When you pare down what’s important for you, when you let go of the people, the circumstances, the thoughts that are bringing you down that are bringing you into chaos, that are bringing you into those energy drains.

When you, when you let those go, you can garner your energy and use that towards what you’re passionate about. What’s going to bring you life, bring you growth. What’s going to help you flourish and be creative and bring you love and bring love to the world because that’s what you’re here for. Right? So be brave about letting go of the people, thoughts and circumstances that do not nourish you. You can feel that life force energy leaving you. So you have to take that back by cutting that off, cutting off those life enervating situations, circumstances, and people, and bringing back your life force. So be very deliberate about that.

Third Step

Now your third action step is to tune into nature. So this is different than just being in nature. Tune into nature. Virgo is all about the details, the earth, the fire things. There’s so much chaos out in the world. You need to bring calm into your being. And nature is a calming grounding force.

And one way to discern what’s good for you. What’s real for you is to be in your body. When I teach intuition, the foundation, the very first step is about being in your body. The chakras are about starting with the root chakra. Trees need to ground themselves before they elevate to the light. So as you tune into nature, you’re tuning into the order of nature, the beauty of the world.

So listen for the birds. Look at the birds, the squirrel how they go about gathering nuts right now. And they’re adorable. Puppies are always lovely. As the wind blows, the breeze happens. Feel what that’s like on your face or notice how the leaves shimmer. Notice how the light changes. There’s so much beauty to tune into in nature that can really nourish your spirit ground you and get you back in your body.

September Energy Forecast

This is where your intuition is. It’s not just all out here. And I feel like we’re all being pulled outside of ourselves because there’s so much outside of ourselves that’s pulling us. So come back into your body, by tuning into nature, tuning into your breath, tuning into the animals, the birds, the trees, the flowers, and by doing that, you appreciate them. And the earth needs our love right now. And you can receive love from the earth in return. Now, I know that if you do these three steps, you’re going to navigate this dramatic energy. That’s coming our way with some grace.

Now, I also have a special gift for you. I have created a new free intuition course, Six Steps to Awaken your Sixth Sense, and that is free. And you can get that on my new website, using the link below. I am so excited. My new website is so much what I wanted for you. It’s such a more beautiful experience for you. It’s easier to navigate.

August Energy Forecast – Rekindle Your Passions

Hello, I’m Kari Samuels, your intuitive counselor and happiness coach with your August forecast. And I missed you. I hope that you have been well and happy and healthy during this absolutely bananas time in our world.

So we have so much happening in August and I really want to help you make the most of it. Cause it can be a really positive and fun and productive time, or it could be nuts, totally your choice, because it’s all how you are channeling the energy. So we begin with our first three weeks of August that are in the sun sign of Leo. Now Leo is ruled by the sun that’s its ruling planet.

So the sun is all about radiance and joy. The sun is what gives us a life on this planet. And it’s a creative energy. Leo is all about love and exuberance and radiance and creativity. Now that’s the positive aspect of Leo and it’s such a loving energy.

So we also have a lot of Cardinal planets this month, Cardinal planets are initiating energy. So this is really a time to radiate more of what’s in your heart to initiate projects. All of the personal planets are now moving forward. We don’t have that Venus and Mercury retrograde that was really tripping us up for a while, right? I mean, Oh, so much.

August Energy Forecast

So this is forward moving energy. A lot of the projects that you’ve put on hold, it’s a really great time to move forward with them. And Leo teaches you how to be confident. The sun is associated with your solar plexus, which is all about confidence and courage and personal power. This is a really amazing time to radiate more confidence, to be more you than ever before, to be more joyful, to be more passionate. And to radiate, it’s so creative.

And so that is the energy that’s going to keep you moving forward in the most joyful way this month. So please ride that. Okay. Use that energy, tap into it and be as creative as you can. Be as radiant as you can and radiate as much love as you can. And you have so much inside of you. And now it’s time to shine.

Now, along with the sign Mercury, which is the planet of communication, is very close with the sun this month. When the sun Leo for the first three weeks, Mercury is right there with it for a lot of that time. And then when the sun moves into Virgo, Mercury is moving into Virgo.

August Energy Forecast

So the sun and Mercury are really, really in close alignment. Since Mercury is the planet of communication and expression, even more of this energy is around communicating, speaking, creating from within, from what’s in your heart. It’s not a time to keep this inside.

We had two months of really intense retrogrades. That was a lot of cocooning energy. That was a lot of internal energy. So now this is like the opposite. It’s like you’ve done some soul searching. So now it’s time to reinvent yourself in some ways. And to express some of these new passions of yours or you want to rekindle some of your other passions. It’s really about expression.

And to even emphasize that even more, August 2020 is a three universal month. Now three is actually also the number of communication and expression and joy. It’s a very social vibration. So even though we’re in this time of social distancing, you can still have fun.

You can still share your joy with other people. You can still be social, even if that is over the interwebs, right? I mean, there’s so many ways to connect with people and to share what’s in your heart and to be joyful and creative.

August Energy Forecast

So be creative about how you’re being creative. This three energy is also associated with anything having to do with the mouth, including smiling. Humor is a very important aspect of how you’re going to navigate this month and your life. Humor is very important. Looking on the bright side of things, seeing the joy in things, not to be Pollyanna, but to really simply create more joy and more love, it has a ripple effect.

And that’s what the three energy is about. And three is associated with words. So this is a time when you really have to speak what is in your heart. You really have to, all that stuff that’s been inside of you, especially after all this retrograde again, and the soul searching and the eclipses, all the June, July were really intense with that, right?

So if there’s anything that you haven’t been expressing, this is time to share it. Now, being that it’s 2020, there was a big twist to this, because you know, nothing this year is, I mean, nothing ever is all butterflies and roses, but oh my goodness, there’s a very intense energy around all of this.

August Energy Forecast

Mars is an Aries. Now Mars is going to be in Aries all through January of 2021. Mars is going to be in Aries for an extraordinarily long period of time because it’s going retrograde next month. And we’re in pre shadow of that retrograde this month.

Now Mars and Aries. Mars is also a fire. It’s a fiery planet, right? Like it’s just, what’s a war-like planet and it’s aggressive, action oriented. In the sign of Aries, his native sign, Aries is a fellow fire sign. We have Leo. We have this Aries. Mars is going to be in very tense aspects to a bunch of planets this month.

And you have this very combative planet in his native sign, in his pre shadow of retrograde. So going back and reclaiming these, these really these parts of you, these angry parts of you, maybe these things that you pushed in your shadow, because it’s not really spiritual seeming, you don’t think you’re like, Ooh, I shouldn’t get angry ever. I always have to look on the bright side or whatever. So all of that stuff that we push in our shadow, especially anger and some of those more fiery emotions, they’re going to start expressing themselves.

August Energy Forecast

So with all this Mercury connecting the sun and the three energy where all that expression is happening, that’s great when it’s conscious. Mars and Aries is a bit of a hot head. Aries, literally rules the head. That’s why Aries is the sign of the Ram.

So we have a lot of this hot headed energy happening now through the end of the year, just what 2020 needs. Right? So, we also began this month on the third with this beautiful Aquarius full moon, but it was also kind of a tense full moon. So this, this brings up issues, amplifies issues of freedom.

And so everyone’s going to want to express what their idea of freedom is, which is great. So you are going to want to express what’s in your heart to allow yourself more freedom in all areas of your life. Personally, professionally, politically. There’s so many ways that we’re expressing our freedom right now, but there’s a lot of like Ram energy, right? But he has a different idea about what that means.

So it’s really important that you are aware of this energy. Cause like I said, you can channel this in a really positive, productive, and proactive way, but you have to understand that this energy right now is very rambunctious. It’s very much about hardheadedness and impulsiveness and aggression.

August Energy Forecast

And we’re going to have quite a bit of this energy, throughout the rest of the year surprise. But right now it’s really intense. So I want you to be aware of that so that you can navigate this energy and you stay out of trouble. You can get yourself into good trouble. Like the late John Lewis had said. So go ahead, get yourself into good trouble. You want to stay out of certain kinds of trouble, right? Trouble that you can avoid, like physical things.

This is not a time to take physical risks. Definitely not a time for road rage. Okay. So if somebody’s doing their road ragey thing, you just let them, right? Don’t don’t counteract anything that you’re seeing someone being impulsive, you just, you know, manage, right. Do not instigate and do not do not get involved in anything that you feel can be combustible because this fire energy fire is the element of fire and nature.

As you see it can bring warmth, it can bring life, it can bring sustenance. It has a beautiful glow. It’s so calming sometimes like if you light a candle, it’s so beautiful or the sun, which is so joyful. And that is the element of fire at its very best. But fire can also rage out of control and be very combustive.

So I want you to be aware of that with how quickly things can escalate right now, so that you allow yourself to really be in the joyful, creative, beautiful aspects of this energy and really stay out of the wrong kind of trouble.

3 action steps

So, I have three action steps that you can take to help you really navigate this energy with grace. Your first action step for the month is to pursue your passions. This also means romance. So if, if you have not romanced your life in any way. If life has felt a little bit dull in any way, because, Oh my gosh, it’s been rough, right? So it’s a time to rekindle that kind of spark for life and joy for life and romance.

Whatever that means to you, and if you’ve put your passions aside, because things have gotten too complicated or there’s too much to do, it’s really, really, really, really important that you get that fire in the belly, that you get that fire, that passion for life really sparked and ignited and acted upon.

Any passion projects, remember we have all this Cardinal energy this month, this initiating energy, which is really such a great time to pursue any of your passions to pursue any projects.

So really take advantage of it, and bring that joy back in your life in any way if you’ve lost it. Spark it even more, if you’re on a roll, go for it. This is an incredible time to put yourself out there to be courageous, to do things that you love to have romance, to have joy. This is a great time for it. So you go do that.

Second Action Step

Now, your second action step is to chill out if you’re feeling hotheaded. Okay. So, you know, it’s like, I feel like everyone’s like a volcano or a pressure cooker right now. I know, you know, those times when you have maybe spoken too quickly or you were really feeling hot under the collar and you just reacted instead of taking some time to process your feelings and then responding.

It’s really an important time to just like release the valve of that pressure cooker to vent off some steam, if you’re feeling agitated or angry or upset in any way before you to talk to the people or person or whatever it is that you want to share. Remember, it’s a good time to express yourself, but you want to do that in a very productive way.

And usually when you’re feeling super emotionally charged, it’s not the best time for it. I’m giving you fair warning here, because you remember those times in your life where you didn’t do that. You don’t want to burn bridges, right?

This is a really good time when you’re feeling really emotional, to take some time to yourself, write in a journal or talk to a loved one, vent, whatever you want and then communicate, okay, that’s going to really save you a lot of anxiety.

Third Action Step

Now, your third action step is to use your words wisely, use your words to uplift and inspire in the beginning was the word, right? So the word is what creates things. This is what shapes our reality. So you want to be very conscious of how you’re talking to yourself about yourself, about your life, about the world. You want to be very conscious about how you’re communicating what’s in your heart to other people.

So really be mindful as you’re writing, as you’re talking, as you’re speaking, as you’re texting, right? You don’t want to be like, ah, you said this. You just want to be like really mindful about how your words are impacting you and also shaping the world around you.

This is a time where we need so much kindness, so much love and tearing people down, fighting with people where you know it’s not going to make an impact. Really don’t waste your breath. Use your breath, your words, to create the world that you want to inhabit. Your words have power. Your expression has power. Creativity has power. Use that power wisely. I feel like I, is there a baby Yoda? I feel like we need something like that right now.
