The planet of responsibility, Saturn, ends its retrograde on Wednesday, September 18, at exactly 4:47 AM. Since it’s an outer planet, Saturn’s retrograde isn’t as noticeable as Mercury’s, but whenever planets begin or end their retrogrades (“station” in astrology speak), that is when their themes or messages are relayed most loudly. Things hit a wall when retrogrades end, as astrologer Anne Ortelee has said. Saturnian themes like commitments, responsibilities, or lessons come to a screeching halt as the retrograde ends, and once Saturn stations direct, law and order return once more. Saturn retrograde has been a test to see if you’ve learned your lessons—if you have grown up—and now that Saturn is direct again, things move forward.

Action planet Mars connects with Pluto, the planet of secrets, on Thursday, September 19, at exactly 11:49 AM. There is something that seems dangerous and extreme about this transit. Mars is impulsive and quick to act, while Pluto is shady and manipulative. Protect yourself from greedy or jealous aggressors, and be mindful of how you push your will onto other people, too.Jupiter, the planet of expansion, clashes with dreamy Neptune on Saturday, September 21, at 12:47 PM. This Jupiter and Neptune conflict is one of 2019’s major recurring transits, and since Virgo season started, Neptune has been getting a lot of attention! Neptune is confusing, foggy, and deceptive. It’s also representative of escapism and self-numbing through drugs or other habits that take us to artificial realities (hello, social media!). Jupiter is over-the-top and optimistic. This sort of misguided optimism can be dangerous, depending on the context. Find a safe place to get lost, through art or music. Putting too much trust into strangeness can lead to some really shady situations.Messenger Mercury clashes with Saturn, the planet of responsibility, on Sunday, September 22, at 12:19 PM. This is a huge “get your shit together” energy, and action is taken or changes are made to address what needs to be done before it’s too late.All times ET.
