The SBT Astrology Club: September Edition

 This Series is brought to you by Skydiamond. Made From The Sky To Protect The Earth.

Welcome to The SBT Astrology Club. A new series where each month we seek guidance from the stars on how to live in line with our values and protect our planet. Read below for September's Edition of The SBT Astrology club written by our resident Astrologist Sade, aka The Astrology Vixen.

September Intentions ✨

The month kicks off with Mercury retrograde in Libra on September 9th. This is an incredible time to fine tune your relationship values, in order for you to gain a better understanding regarding what makes you feel safe, secure and whole within partnerships. We tend to gain a holistic understanding of ourselves through our partnerships with others, as we are a mirror for each other. If there are any misunderstandings durings this time, it’s a good opportunity to spot whether you have any communication blind spots that you’re unaware of. 

On September 10th the Full Moon in Pisces is an incredible time to get in touch with your more spiritual senses. This is a good time to review the intentions you set 2 weeks ago, and how they have come into fruition. This timeframe will help you increase your intuition and have faith that everything in our lives serves it’s own purpose, sometimes in ways we can’t rationally understand.

While most of the warm summer months were spent setting intentions for cultivating courage and a need for freedom, the autumn equinox on September 22nd  initiates us into a period of reflection time in order to get in touch with our internal landscape. This is an opportunity to dive deep into inward exploration which can help you get in touch with your unmet desires. You may ask yourself ‘'What do we need to let go of to achieve more balance in our lives?’ 

Libra season also begins on September 22nd. This is a good time to figure out what your values mean to you, as this will help you to build connections from a place of authenticity and truth. When you honour your core principles, you’re able to create foundations within yourself that give you an added sense of inner security. 

Atlas, the New Moon in Libra on September 25th ushers in a new cycle within your connections and collaborations. This is a tremendous time to reflect on how your relationships are supporting your growth and review whether your connections hold space for you to become more of your authentic self. 

 

Aries 🪐

Gather your star players, and power up your A-team. This is a time of partnering your goals with other sustainable forward thinkers and move towards one single mission. This isn’t a solo dolo deal. 

Journal question: What eco-conscious values am I inspired by in other sustainable thinkers?

 

Taurus 🪐

Your bohemian senses are activated during this season and you’re able to see how you can weave the artistry of patch work to revive old textiles. Step into the light and be transformed into a textiles alchemist to channel the magic in your hands. 

Journal question: How can I minimise textile waste?

 

Gemini 🪐

Gifted with the talents of Mercury aka The God of communication, you have the power to use your persuasive talents to band together like-minds to pursue a singular eco-conscious goal. Your strategic eagle eye can see how each person seated at the table can contribute to the cause. 

Journal question: Who in my network supports my journey to becoming more eco-conscious?

 

Cancer 🪐

You hold the affinity key to nourish people just as you tend to the sacred roots of the earth. Before we approach the Autumn Equinox on the 22nd, take stock of your neighbourhood by gathering your family for a weekend activity to pick up litter and recycle.  

Journal question: How can you become an ambassador of our green planet in the everyday?

 

Leo 🪐

The stage isn’t just your home, it’s a place to generate your inner visions into an art form. Make your artistic flair visible by using storytelling to raise awareness of the global climate changes. In turn you can inspire the hearts of many to take action and pay attention to their ecological footprint. 

Journal question: What is my personal ‘why’ to become more eco-conscious?

 

Virgo 🪐

This is a prime month to take stock on how your food consumption impacts the collective climate waste. Take a look at your food bin, to list how much food goes out of its sell by date. To crank up your eco friendly savviness, you can use stale food as compost to keep your garden green.

Journal question: What new eco-friendly strategies could I implement in my food shopping?

 

Libra 🪐

Fashion has a short cycle, but style is timeless. Set up some time to oragnise a local neighbourhood clothing swap. Drum up some excitement and hop into your local facebook to spread your climate positive attitude.

Journal question: How can I use my power to positively influence the world around me?

 

Scorpio 🪐

You have the magic touch to revive anything back to life. Rail through your wardrobe to discover what needs some TLC. Perhaps you can restore your favourite past time dress with some savvy alternations. 

Journal question: How can I make more mindful decisions of cost per wear for a more sustainble clothing budget?

 

Sagittarius 🪐

Your need for outer security is up for reassessment and realignment. What does stability look like for you? and how does this marry up to your eco-concious values. Take a look at your current eco-blueprint to come up with a master plan. 

Journal question: What sustainable initiatives can I implement into my routine?

 

Capricorn 🪐

Your sense of duty and responsibility makes everyone around see you as a leader in the truest sense. Naturally, you have an incredible vantage point of how the macro influences the micro, however this month climb down the watch tower and anchor yourself on the ground. Rally the troops, and conspire with your network to create a climate group at work. 

Journal question: How does my own climate actions inspire others to have a solid sense of climate duty to the world?

 

Aquarius 🪐

You are the Neo in the zodiac family, as you can see what needs to be fixed in the eco-matrix. Focus on your own carbon footprint, to double down on how you’re impacting the environment. Knowledge of your own climate footprint self is the first step. 

Journal question: What practical ways can I measure my climate footprint?


Pisces 🪐

You have full permission to be the wild pixie that you are. The world needs to feel your climate optimism as you can push the collective to keep the mission in front of mind. Only a pixie can sprinkle fairy dust to dispel the eco-anxiety in others. Your eco-conscious mantra for the month is ‘I have the power to support others on their eco-conscious journey’

Journal question: What personal rituals do you have that empower you to move towards a better eco-conscious future?
