September 2020 Astrology Forecast

In episode 269 astrologers Kelly Surtees, Austin Coppock, and Chris Brennan look at the astrological forecast for September of 2020. September is one of the more crucial and tense months that we identified back in our year-ahead forecast, due to Mars stationing retrograde in Aries and squaring Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto in Capricorn. This month will also see Jupiter and Saturn stationing direct in Capricorn, and beginning their final run through that sign between now and December. We spend the first hour and a half talking about the astrology of September, and then transition into a discussion about other miscellaneous topics including the ominous significance of comet NEOWISE, the 2020 US presidential election, the birth chart of Kamala Harris, the sabotage of the US postal service, and Austin's new kitten who has a timed birth chart. Below you will find the show notes, followed by links to the recordings of the episode. This episode is available in both audio and video versions.
