Welcome to September's astrology forecast, where we're diving deep into some of the most significant planetary movements we'll see this decade.

This month, Pluto crosses a rare threshold—going out of bounds for the first time in years, setting the stage for profound transformation that will echo through 2035. But that's just the beginning of our September story.

In this episode, we explore:

Saturn's surprising return to Pisces for another 5+ months, giving Saturn return folks more time to prepare for their next life chapter. If you have planets in late mutable signs or you're in your Saturn return, this extended timeline is especially meaningful for you.

Mercury's journey through Virgo brings problem-solving energy and the chance to fix what's been broken. We'll talk about how to use this practical earth sign energy effectively, plus navigate the flow of the Mercury opposite Saturn-Neptune aspect mid-month.

The rare phenomenon of Pluto out of bounds and what this means for shadow work, power reclamation, and collective transformation. I share thoughts on both the opportunities and challenges this brings.

Mars moving into Scorpio and its exact square with Pluto on September 24—a moment that calls for strategic thinking and understanding your opponent's weaknesses (whether that's an external challenge or an internal pattern).

A beautiful flow opportunity on September 11 when the Moon, Jupiter, and Sun align for supportive energy you can work with.

Key dates to remember: Mercury enters Virgo (Sept 2), Mercury-Sun clarity moment (Sept 13), Mercury enters Libra (Sept 18), Mars enters Scorpio (Sept 22), and Mars square Pluto (Sept 24).

I also touch on post-traumatic resilience—how we can build the skills to not just survive challenges but grow stronger through them. This feels especially relevant as we navigate Pluto's invitation to look at our experience with eyes wide open.

Whether you're new to astrology or have been following planetary cycles for years, this forecast offers both the big picture view and practical guidance for working with September's energies.

In this illuminating conversation, astrologer Mark Jones joins host Tony Howard to explore the profound philosophical contributions of Dane Rudhyar to modern astrology. They discuss how Rudhyar's humanistic approach transformed predictive astrology into a tool for self-actualization and spiritual growth.

Mark explains how Rudhyar, influenced by 20th century psychology and his background as a classical composer, developed key concepts including the "seed principle" and cyclical time. They explore how Rudhyar viewed birth charts not as static deterministic blueprints but as symbolic representations of potential that unfolds through time—comparing it to an acorn containing the pattern for the oak tree it might become.

This episode offers valuable insights into how Rudhyar's vision of astrology as "a yoga with one's destiny" continues to influence contemporary astrological practice, providing a framework that balances cosmic patterns with human agency. Perfect for both astrology enthusiasts and those interested in the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and cosmic symbolism.
