How It Affects the Base Chakra:
Pluto Retrogrades Back into Capricorn (September 1):
- Pluto’s return to Capricorn intensifies the focus on transformation in structures related to career, authority, and long-term foundations. The Base Chakra is strongly impacted as this energy encourages you to re-evaluate the foundations of your life. It may bring up issues related to power, control, and security, urging you to let go of outdated structures and rebuild stronger, more resilient ones.
- This retrograde phase is a time for deep introspection, particularly around how you manage your material resources and sense of security. The Base Chakra is challenged to release old fears and embrace new ways of creating stability.
Virgo New Moon Opposes Saturn in Pisces (September 2):
- The Virgo New Moon typically brings opportunities for new beginnings in areas of health, work, and daily routines. However, its opposition to Saturn in Pisces introduces a serious, somewhat restrictive energy that may make these new beginnings feel challenging or slow to manifest.
- This opposition can create tension in the Base Chakra, as the need for practical, grounded action (Virgo) clashes with the nebulous, dreamy, and sometimes elusive energies of Saturn in Pisces. It’s a time to focus on realistic goals and disciplined effort to ensure that your foundations are solid and supportive of your long-term well-being.
Mars in Gemini Squares Neptune in Pisces (September 3):
- The square between Mars in Gemini and Neptune in Pisces can create confusion or lack of clarity in taking action, which may destabilize your sense of security. The Base Chakra is affected by this disorienting energy, as it challenges your ability to act decisively and with confidence.
- During this time, it’s important to stay grounded and avoid making impulsive decisions that could disrupt your stability. The Base Chakra will benefit from practices that reinforce your connection to the earth and your sense of inner strength.
Mars Moves into Cancer (September 4):
- As Mars enters Cancer, the focus shifts to nurturing and protecting your home and family. This transition emphasizes the emotional aspects of security, urging you to create a safe and comforting environment.
- The Base Chakra is soothed by Mars in Cancer’s protective energy, which encourages you to fortify your personal space and ensure that your physical and emotional needs are met. This is a time to focus on creating a stable foundation that supports both your physical and emotional well-being.
The Moon in Libra Conjuncts Venus in Libra (September 5):
- The conjunction of the Moon and Venus in Libra brings a harmonious and balancing energy to relationships, which can help to stabilize the Base Chakra by fostering a sense of connection and security within your relationships.
- This alignment supports the Base Chakra by encouraging cooperation and fairness in your interactions, helping you to feel more grounded and secure within your social and personal connections.
