September, 2026 Monthly Forecast, Lena Stevens, 2 September 2026

​The theme for September is “Sort and Simplify”
​
In the aftermath of the powerful eclipses in August we find ourselves in a space of digesting new insights, possibilities, personal truths and emotional awareness. This month is about refining the new story through the process of sorting, reorganizing, simplifying and resetting priorities.

Using discernment instead of rejection and setting good boundaries around new and vulnerable intentions as well as using patience and trusting right timing will all be useful tools in navigating the month. Some of you have been processing the eclipse energy in a very physical way that has perhaps even taken you out of your known habits and routines. As difficult as this may be, it is wise to see the situation as a gift, allowing for a deeper clearing and permanent change.

The first part of the month is definitely about a focus on the details of your life, keeping projects and to do lists practical and manageable instead of overwhelming yourself with a bigger picture. The discipline is not to get ahead of yourself but to keep your attention on what is right in front of you that needs to be organized. This may include certain necessary completions that were triggered during the eclipse that require more detailed closure.

In the sorting process you are likely to come across routines and habits that involve others that need to change. In using discernment to choose a better situation to support your own needs, always come from a place of neutrality instead of judgment and make the choice about what you need instead of about what others are not giving you. This will keep you out of conflict that can arise from blame and rejection.

Keep your ambitions small and manageable this month with a focus on creating enough space to reorient what needs to find a new anchor and clearing what is in the way of more freedom, self-expression and creative progress. Try not to overextend yourself and have patience around right timing and necessary clarity. If you feel stuck, there is likely something not quite aligned. Sort out what is in the way and have the courage to change and improve.

How the month shows up:

YOU PERSONALLY

A really good month to observe personal routines, habits, responsibilities and obligations. Where can you simplify? What can you sort and reorganize so that the flow of your life improves? What needs a better boundary? The personal theme that goes along with the sorting and simplification is “improvement”. How can you improve the flow of your life and create space for new opportunities through sorting and simplification?

You may be challenged with finding the balance between your personal needs and responsibilities to others. You also might find challenging the emotional impulse to act being thwarted by a blockage that holds you back especially during the first part of the month. Don’t be irritated, be patient and honor the right timing of things.

RELATIONSHIPS

The sorting process in relationships will be around dynamics, routines and habits. Where do you feel you have been giving your power away to a responsibility or obligation that is not yours? Where do you feel you have not set a strong enough boundary where it is needed? Some relationships will need to be simply sorted out of your life however most of the important ones will simply need to be refined and reset to better align with you and your needs.

Aspects of your relationship with yourself will also come under observation. In what situations do you put yourself last? What parts of yourself have you not honored? Where and what can you improve?

There is opportunity for finding new emotional depth in significant relationships as well as resetting the dynamics and routines in a new alignment. As you sort and simplify, allow new relationships especially around projects to surface or resurface. Explore them carefully and methodically, not jumping impulsively into anything that is not completely clear.

HEALTH AND THE PHYSICAL BODY

As we mentioned, the body is taking on a lot of the processing of old emotional debris triggered by the eclipses. If you are in this category, be patient and see your situation in a bigger picture container of a deep letting go and an energetic reset. This is also a time to be more methodical about your self-care, observing your routines and refining them to be more supportive to your physical health.

For mental health, you will need to focus on your boundaries and taking time and space for yourself to anchor the insights into your own needs. The details and manageable action steps are important to consider. For example if you have decided to begin a jogging routine, don’t start with 3 miles, start with ½ and increase gradually.  If you need to reduce your intake of something dietary, start with small reductions, not cold turkey.

The opportunity this month is for permanent change in routines to better support you.

BUSINESS PARTNERSHIPS AND PROJECTS

This is not the month to take on a huge overwhelming project. Keep your ambitions manageable and your actions practical. Creative insights and ideas can be tossed around to get clarity for the future but be patient with the coming together of what it will take to actually begin the process. The sorting will affect the way you have your current projects organized where you can refine that organization to be simplified, more effective and productive. Examine and review your partnerships and whether they feel aligned or needing refinement.

It is a conservative month to keep financial outlays and investments practical, affordable and manageable. Don’t overextend yourself unless you get a very clear message to do so. Spend your time refining what you already have, sorting through, simplifying and reorganizing.

ENVIRONMENT

The sorting process affected by the environment will be a result of needing to change and refine plans due to unpredictable situations out of your control. This may involve either taking a plan off your list or adding one onto your list due to a new opportunity that comes your way.

Of course the sorting and simplifying is also very much connected with your personal environment. Take sorting in baby steps not to become overwhelmed, and notice the freedom that comes with simplification as a result of releasing what you don’t need.

Expect the earth to continue with radical shifts and changes triggered by the eclipses. We are not yet done with earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, hurricanes, storms and other dramatic phenomena. Be flexible, use caution, but don’t stop the adventures out of fear.

DATES AND TIME FRAMES

September 1-7

A good start time period for assimilation and sorting. Honor that we are still being affected by the aftermath of the eclipses and take what is landing in or on you with acceptance and neutrality, whether it fells like a physical, emotional or mental handicap. You may be challenged during this time with the push-pull of wanting to charge ahead but feeling the constraints of things not being quite ready to do so. Take some time and space for yourself and settle into a patient honoring of right timing. Examine your boundaries and sort out where you need to either strengthen or loosen them.

September 8-15

This time frame asks us to turn inward for the answers we seek. It is a good time to contemplate the future and how you wish to feel as you move into your next step. As you reflect and clarify your priorities, you may need to reconsider and refine your personal goals and intentions. Allow your insights to use discernment in this process of sorting and always consider your personal needs, your purpose and what will best support you. The new moon on the 10th brings creative inspiration around organization and change. Work with the energies instead of resisting especially when a door that you thought would always be open suddenly closes. If you look forward, you will intuit that a new one is about to open so pay attention. This is also a good time to observe how your new story is evolving and make necessary refinements to it by sorting out what patterns are trying to sneak in from the past.

September 10: New Moon in Virgo is Thursday, September 10 at 9:27 PM Mountain Daylight Time (MDT)

This is a creative new moon where it is important to look forward instead of backward and take charge of what you wish to improve, reset, reorganize and refine in your life in order to be more practical and productive. It may require you to go inward and ask the questions of yourself about what is important and what needs sorting and simplifying. A good time to reflect on your goals and clarify your priorities with a commitment to implement whatever change is needed. This can be an extremely productive time as long as you keep your ambitions reasonable, practical and detail oriented.

September 16-22

The challenge during this time is resolving the need for security with the need for freedom and independence. There is a revolutionary quality to this time that invites us to find a new security within ourselves so we don’t rely on security we have been used to that comes from outside. Look at where insecurity has its roots and use the time to anchor courage, confidence and certainty around some of your recent insights. What do you need to feel more secure? And, how can you experience more freedom and independence while still feeling secure? If issues come up around relationship or financial insecurity, examine it carefully and neutrally instead of reacting negatively. Reorganize strategies and tell the truth about actual security as opposed to what you “thought” was secure.

September 23-30

Old wounds may have surfaced as well as a need to redefine what is balanced and fair in your relationships. Once again, we are tasked with telling the truth about what we have been putting up with due to a fear of change and the unknown, or simply choosing the comfort of familiarity instead of moving into uncharted territory. Anything stale will eventually push you towards the need for a personal revolution. If you can be proactive and follow your passion, you may not need to create unnecessary drama to shake things up.

This is a time to really pay attention to your personal needs, balance in your life, where you can collaborate with others and where you need to set good boundaries around your own purpose and motivation. Where can you compromise without losing yourself? What new resolutions can you come up with that serve all?

September 22:  The Equinox lands at a mid-point between the solstices.
It is a time to honor balance, a change of seasons, the beginning of something new, the progress of something already in motion. As with any powerful time, it is important to honor it in some way with a ritual, a prayer, a release, an action towards something new. The exact time of this equinox is at 4:05PM Mountain Daylight Time (MDT). On this day we also move signs from Virgo to Libra.

September 26: Full Moon in Aries is Saturday, September 26th at 10:49AM Mountain Daylight Time (MDT). More on this Full Moon will be sent as a Power Path Update (sign up here)
