September asks you to dive deep into your spiritual work and psychic development—and not to get too frustrated by miscommunications! Hazy, dreamy Neptune clouds your view this month as it opposes a slew of planets in Virgo. Virgo is all about the details, but Neptune is about fantasy, illusion, and worst of all, delusion. It’s important that you find ways to stay grounded, avoid paranoia, and do your best not to force conversations or decisions. Make the best of Neptune’s influence by immersing yourself in art, music, spirituality, and the lighter aspects of romance.
