Welcome to Intuitive Astrology with Molly McCord. Thank you so much for joining me today as we discuss the astrological energies of September 2nd until September 9th, where we are on the other side of that Pisces Lunar eclipse and the astrological transiting aspects are very quiet this week. In fact, we start September with only the lingering effects of Mars and Cancer squaring, Saturn, Retrograding Areas at 13 degrees.

1:00Plus, we still have an effect that Jupiter in Leo, Trining Saturn, Retrograding Areas at 13 degrees. And other than that, the rest of this week doesn't have any exact transiting aspects except with the Moon. Now the Moon changes signs every two and a half days or so. And over this next week, we will have the Moon in Taurus. Then it moves into Gemini, Cancer, and Leo. So that's where the Moon will be active in your chart is in those houses that have Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, and Leo energies. The Moon, of course, is now moving away from that intense exact Pisces Lunar eclipse, where the Moon was the star of the show. Big and bright out there in the sky, perhaps you even witnessed it change into that beautiful orange red color of that partial lunar eclipse. And because the Moon was the star of the show,

2:02it would have brought up more of what has been hidden and in the shadows of the Moon, and the lunar eclipse amplifies it. In fact, makes it bigger and brighter and creates a longer ongoing cycle of energy after that lunar eclipse is exact. So in other words, we are still going to be in eclipse energies for months to come. And so if you have been tracking and following these eclipse energies, maybe you've been wondering, is anything really shifting or happening? Perhaps you're on the other side of the equation and everything is shifting and changing. But wherever you are in experiencing these energies, the eclipse cycle is going to last through the rest of this year and into 2027 when we have our next eclipses in February. So do keep in mind that both eclipses, that Leo solar eclipse at 20 degrees of Leo

3:05and this Pisces lunar eclipse at 5 degrees of Pisces, still have a lasting impact and you want to stay focused on the houses that you had these eclipses in. Those houses are very important for how these eclipse changes are going to be showing up for you over the next several months. Eclipses powerfully change that house in your chart. It shifts your experience, your frequency around that house. It brings up more to elevate and be consciously aware of. There are also more specific timeline changes that happen in that house. So where you have 20 degrees of Leo is where something is newly being lit up with the power and strength of that Sun Moon conjunction at 20 degrees of Leo. And it's in a cycle of coming to your creative awareness and activating your light body, which also changes the frequency of what you experience in that house.

4:11Every house is an environment of life or an area of life with specific themes. And so do keep in mind that these will continue to be important places for you to be aware of in your life. And then that Pisces Lunar Eclipse with the full moon signals that change is happening here. There is a clearing out and ending of what the Pisces energies have accumulated and experienced, especially since that North node entered Pisces back in January 2025. Now of course the nodes have changed signs. The North node is now in Aquarius, but this is a Lunar Eclipse working with the North node showing you what you are growing through through your own, karmic healing and closures that are meant to occur now. And so this full moon is going to continue to make it very bright and apparent where you need to say no, where you need to close something out and step back and step away.

5:15So wherever you have that five degrees of Pisces, it signifies there are endings here that are going to continue to unfold in this house in your chart. And you may even be presented with some important choice points around how you're going to approach these endings, cancellations and closures. So you want to stay very aware of what you're putting energy into and then be objective enough to say, okay, I'm actually just still in a pattern here with these Pisces energies, which can involve being very kind, empathetic, intuitive, giving, creative, and emotionally tuned in all beautiful skills, all beautiful traits, but are those the same traits that are keeping you in a place of being too nice or overly accommodating? Are you agreeing to things without really checking in on if it's good for your energy and if it's really in alignment with what you want?

6:18And so you want to look at where perhaps that Pisces energy can be too soft, too kind, or too empathetic, and look at where you're ready to enforce greater boundaries, greater personal strength, and also use your no thank you as needed. If you realize you don't want to continue something, you're closing out a cycle here where you have that five degrees of Pisces, and that means you're meant to honor the closures and the conversations that are necessary to have those closures. And you also could have a greater level of self awareness around what unconscious patterns or habits you are experiencing through these Pisces themes. The Pisces energies are softer and quieter. They might speak to you when you are alone or right before you wake up, whereas the Leo energies of that Leo solar eclipse are often more instinctual, direct, and bold.

7:21And so you might have some very clear understandings of what that Leo solar eclipse was beginning for you, and then you may be softly and quietly contemplating what the Pisces lunar eclipse is dissolving and phasing away from your experience. These are two very different energies when we look at the Leo and Pisces eclipses happening in a pair, but together they're highly creative. They are aware that this is a time to look at what needs to change in your life to set you free to move you forward to elevate your energy to be more in your power. What is holding you back that you recognize I already healed from that I'm already done with that I'm over that and I'm ready for the new and so you might have some very fast moving intuitive downloads here around what is necessary to begin because your energy is lighter and more open.

8:22And so that would be one way to look at perhaps the month of August now of course we're moving into September we have arrived in September and as I mentioned we only have this Jupiter in Leo training Saturn retrograde in aries at 13 degrees that is still active here on September second and September third. And so this is bringing your attention to what you need to solidify build and develop that's going to have ongoing inspiration to it. This is a very beautiful beneficial alignment between Jupiter and Saturn. It is their first train that's occurring here in the fire signs of aries in Leo and we're going to see them have two more trines in 2027. The second will be on April 3 when both planets are at 17 degrees and the third alignment will be on July 11th when they are both at 27 degrees of each fire sign.

9:28So as eclipse season propels us forward we then have this strengthening courageous energy of Saturn in aries training Jupiter in Leo bringing your attention to what gives you life what lights you up and excites you where you motivated to take a dream and build it. What do you find you naturally have energy for your naturally focused on developing something and it seems to have its own life force its own creative spirit its own desire built into it it's almost like there is new energy embedded into this frequency to carry you forward and to make something real something personal something that matters to you. And it is personal because Saturn in aries has brought your attention to what you need to newly begin this year on your own there is an independent spirit here that perhaps you have been strengthening and learning to walk in the world in a new way with this Saturn in aries bringing your attention to who you are how you show up in your life and even giving you a greater wisdom around what matters to you.

10:46Now and because of that Saturn in aries is also helping you with boundaries and determining what is over and complete it doesn't align with your new chapter so there's a strengthening quality here with Saturn in aries then we bring in Jupiter in Leo and Leo is also an astrology sign connected with personal development and growth and it's the energy that activates your inner child your playful spirit your creative spirit. It is a creative desire and it is a creative desire and it wants you to be free from things that have been too much and too intense this Jupiter in Leo is activating more of your inner child and creative urges that maybe you thought you lost maybe you thought you had become disconnected from these parts of yourself that you didn't know how to reconnect with that inner child or that younger part of you that was more care free.

11:46It is a very playful, courageous and open to life. This is now an invitation from Jupiter in Leo to return to this archetype and listen to what you feel bubbling up within you that is exciting, beautiful and maybe perhaps quite colorful. This could be a return of your creative spirit. This could also be a surge of remembrance of who you came here to be and I feel that's part of how this trauma is being done. Part of how this trying is going to be unfolding over the next 11 months is that you might have a return to your innate authentic self that existed long before the outer world had its input in forming and shaping you in your life. Maybe you're recognizing more about what lights you up and brings you joy just because and you're seeing how far you've drifted away from those parts of yourself simply because of life, life responsibilities,

12:48commitments, work, family, things you had to take care of, people you had to show up for, those you had to care for and tend to even putting their needs over your own. And actually I was having a lovely conversation with a friend the other day about how people come to astrology for any number of reasons at any time in their life. There tends to be a calling into this world of astrology, a calling into the language, the symbols, the glyphs, the meaning of it all. But I was saying to her that what I've noticed with my really awesome audience, the people that I've met this year, the people that I've connected with on Zoom calls, is that they are so intelligent, educated, well-traveled, skilled, good people. Like genuinely really good people that astrology it seems brings them back to themselves after doing and being everything to so many people in their lives.

13:52Like astrology brings you back to you and allows you to focus on who you are, what you need, what you desire, of course to understand your life, perhaps understand your profession and your career, your relationships, your family, your children, any and all of it. But we were discussing like why do people come into astrology at any point in their life and I feel it's because it's calling you to return to yourself and that you deserve this time and attention to know who you are at such a deep, beautiful level of your being. And even though we have of course our commitments and responsibilities in the world and we have people we need to tend to and check in with and all the things outside of us that pull our energy away from our core self. Astrology brings you back into who you are, who you came here to be, before the roles creeped in, the expectations showed up, or you thought you had to follow a certain path or career to be successful in your life.

14:57Or you thought you had to live life a certain way in order to be happy. And so it seems that this is certainly a call and a return to your soul's wisdom that you arrived with and became disconnected from certainly by no fault of your own, but simply because of how life takes us into all these different areas of ourselves and of the world. And so this is a time with this trying between Saturn and Jupiter is to strengthen this part of you that has always been alive. This is your creative spirit, your inner flame, your life force. This is your creative urges and the part of you that knows your confidence, your strength, your talents, your independent courageous spirit. It's almost like that is the fire that's being lit here and I feel it's really exciting. Even if you don't have planets or placements in areas or Leo, even if these transiting energies are not working with you personally in that way, they are still working in your chart.

16:08And so you want to identify where you have 13 degrees of areas and 13 degrees of Leo right now because these two houses are connecting for you. And that connection point could be bringing something to light within you and inspiration, a motivation, a new area of growth, the fire signs are about movement, action, growth, even about your spiritual growth. And the momentum you work with to make something happen. And so it would be highly advantageous to work with this energy that is moving through you that is allowing you to dream a bigger dream. Go further than you've gone before. Look at what is possible because with the Saturn influence Saturn is going to give you the practical planning and discipline in order to make something happen and make it real. And when you work with Saturn intentionally, you realize what you do want to create can manifest because Saturn is a big manifestor. It's how we manifest in the physical world in the 3D.

17:21It's how we work with the boundaries, limitations and constraints of our lives, but alchemize it and turn it into something that Saturn realistically assesses and determines. Yes, something is here. You can make something out of nothing. You can develop this. You can bring this to life, especially if you trust yourself, trust your gut instincts and do it your own way. And then that Jupiter influence is going to bring in more of the creative options, more of the strength and determination to see it through. It's also going to open up the pathways, invitations and resources that are needed. Now keep in mind, Jupiter hasn't been in Leo for 12 years. And so that's why it could feel like part of your inner child and your playfulness has been far away or diminished.

18:21Maybe again, a part of yourself you've lost connection with. It's harder to feel that energy, but it always resides in the heart, in the solar plexus. It always resides within you. And here Jupiter has returned to Leo again for the first time in 12 years. And do keep in mind that we haven't had any other outer planets in Leo since Jupiter was here 12 years ago. Yes, we have the transiting sun that moves through Leo every year. And we have the transiting planets, including the moon, mercury, Venus and Mars that move through Leo. But with an outer planet, there is greater emphasis on the energies and we take it more seriously. But Jupiter brings in and wants you to return to joy, return to fun, do something that is really good for your younger self or your creative spirit, something that requires you to be seen and bold, maybe just to take a risk on your creative gifts in a whole new way.

19:28So yes, this is a beautiful energy to be aware of and to be working with in your chart and in your life as September begins because the energy is going to continue to develop through 2027 until July. And I do have a video for you on YouTube going through the chart of these alignments. So do check that out because I go into more specifics that might be helpful as well. So I feel like overall this Jupiter and Leo training Saturn, retrograde and aries here is the beginning of something beautiful and something real that can also include a commitment, a responsibility, a promotion, something where you are recognized. And you're advancing on your path. But overall, this is beneficial. And I hope you are experiencing it in some form in your life as we move further into September. It could also lift your energy and light you up if that Pisces Lunar eclipse is revealing what is ending and fading out again where there are closures. And with that Pisces Lunar Eclipse, it could have stirred up melancholy sadness or grief that is always meant to be on the planet.

20:44It's honored and is meant to be something that flows through you and is released. But this other alignment could also be propelling you forward. Now we are in Virgo season. And so the sun is in Virgo until September 22nd when we then experience the Libra equinox. But for the first three weeks of the month, we have the sun making its annual journey through Virgo bringing your attention to areas of your life that may be in the world. And we need improvement and refinement. This is where the Virgo strengths are more easily accessed where you could find that you need certain routines and habits to be improved or elevated. Virgo energy is about purification, healing, daily rituals, simplification and devotion. Bring your attention to how you're using your energy every day. What are you doing on a daily basis? And these are the routines that we don't often think about. It could be as simple as you wake up in the morning. You get your coffee, you get on the computer, you look at your phone, you get dressed, whatever your morning routine is.

21:55You could have some understandings of what needs to be improved or what is better for your energy now. And so Virgo season is a great time to look at those personal improvements that benefit your energy. Virgo is also connected to the mind body connection. And so maybe you're seeing how certain environments are affecting your mind or affecting your energy level. Maybe you're recognizing how your energy is changing. Especially at this seasonal threshold point, we're here in the northern hemisphere. We are transitioning away from summer and into fall. And of course it's the opposite in the southern hemisphere as you transition away from winter into spring. But it's looking at what do you energetically need to feel supported? And Virgo is a very supportive energy. Often we support things outside of ourselves. We support others at work or in a joint endeavor. Virgo looks for how it can contribute its intellect and its desire for excellence in some capacity that benefits more than just itself.

23:04This is how Virgo can be of service, can be of a influential nature as well to others as guiding them, showing them the way, teaching, instructing, improving, all of these can be Virgo strengths. But it's also important to look at what serves you, what supports your energy. And this is where you turn to what are the practical improvements I could make that would be good and healthy for me. And maybe it's as simple as looking at your vitamins, supplements, herbs, looking at what you're eating, looking at ways that you are moving your body and are you living the active lifestyle that you truly desire. This could be also where you're ready to make some new changes in these areas of your life, especially when we assess how this is the time we go back to school, go back to work, go back to the desk. We settle into our routines after summer ends and we have new responsibilities and commitments to do. I think that Virgo season can also be the time when we make appointments for things we need to take care of.

24:13Whether that is for your vehicle or anything in your home that needs maintenance. And of course that would include yourself, anything that you need to take care of for your own piece of mind, any doctors appointments, annual exams, eye appointments, so on and so forth. This is also because Virgo is the specialist. Virgo is the energy of someone who has done a deeper dive into a particular area of study. And becomes an expert at it understands it really well and can offer that intellectual understanding and that information to others. And so maybe there's things here that you are refining and understanding. This is what I want to improve. These are the areas of my life that need improvement. So therefore maybe you want to research certain tips, advice or new approaches that would work for you. Maybe you're just aware of what needs to shift in your everyday reality to work for you better considering all the changes we've had here in 2026, especially after a clip season and the intensity of August, although fair to say, I think every month has had its own signature of intensity.

25:28Every month has brought us into something brand new new frequencies, new developments. Overall this year has felt very fast moving and also quite scattered at times. And the Virgo energy can bring you back into yourself, ground your energy. And I'm even seeing this as closing your eyes where when we shut our eyes, we then are no longer taking in everything in the environment in the physical world. We are closing our eyes and returning to ourselves to listening and being more receptive to what our body is feeling and what we're sensing. And this is how you could get some of your best answers right now. So it's not complicated, right? It's just being in that place of closing your eyes and listening to what your body is communicating to you and to what your mind is wanting you to receive. And so even though this year has been quite big and the energies have been very dynamic, this is a season to be more receptive and aware of what you're taking in, what is important and what truly serves you.

26:41Now we also have Mercury in Virgo now traveling in front of the Sun after Mercury is conjunct the Sun Mercury then advances ahead to get new information messages, communications ahead of the Sun's path. And then we'll bring that information back to the Sun during the next retrograde and that retrograde will actually start the end of October, October 24th. So until then this Mercury is traveling in front of the Sun as it typically does. And we are in a cycle now of feeling that our minds are seeking out what we need to understand and work with. Mercury is strong in Virgo. It is detail oriented analytical methodical. Remember and recalls exact details and can tune into a process and every step of a process that works or doesn't work.

27:45This is a good time over this next week to look at what needs to be improved in your own processes, routines and daily life. So this does work with the same energy as the Sun in Virgo, but here Mercury is looking at what doesn't work. And that's one of the first things that Mercury in Virgo will find. It can be critical, it can be hyper aware of inefficiencies and where resources or time is being wasted. And then that Mercury in Virgo comes in and says this is what needs to change. This is what will serve you better. And so if you're aware of it from that angle, you can see how this Mercury in Virgo is essentially desiring to make your world easier and better. But first it's going to come up with the critiques, notes and feedback around what needs to change. As Mercury moves ahead, it is still in a sex tile to Mars in Cancer. Mars is in the middle degrees of Cancer now.

28:48And this is a Mars that can be more inconsistent in his desire to get things done. So do keep that in mind that Mars in the watery realms of Cancer, so ruled by the Moon, means that there is more ebb and flow here in your daily energy level, where you may start off ready to go early in the morning, get things done, very productive, almost like there's that wave of energy carrying you forward. And then it changes. It shifts into more of a slower pace. You look for more rest and you don't have the urgency to get things done as quickly. So this is an inconsistent Mars. And because this Mars placement is ruled by the Moon, you may notice where you need to go easier on yourself or adjust your daily expectations if you don't have that consistent energy to get things done. Now this Mars remains in Cancer until the end of this month, until September 27th, then it moves into Leo, where it is more forceful assertive and dynamic in its approaches to making things happen.

30:03That's definitely a stronger Mars when he's in fixed fire, but it's also important to note that this Mars is going to have an extended journey through Leo because of the upcoming retrograde that doesn't begin until January. And so we'll discuss this more as we get closer to those particular dates in that month, but just note that Mars is going to be station retrograde at 10 degrees of Virgo and then traveling back to 28 degrees of Leo, where it stations direct in early April. And so when this Mars enters Leo, the end of September, there will continue to be dynamic developments, progress and energy in the Leo areas of your chart until Mars gets to 20 degrees of Leo. So when it gets to 20 degrees of Leo in November, it's entering into retrograde territory, but also triggering that Leo solar eclipse we just had in August.

31:12So I'm giving you the heads up here that the Leo areas of your chart are going to continue to have a lot of intense energy that might even be volatile at times. Because when Mars enters the equation and triggers and eclipse points, specifically 20 degrees of Leo in your chart, there is more action and assertiveness that happens. There can also be more explosive energy, more volcanic eruptions, more anger and impatience, and it's just essentially going to be an important hot spot of energy. So that's coming up in a few months, but it helps. I know that some of you like that heads up simply because of how you track the astrological planets and how you plan things in your own world. But just know that right now this Mars is more subdued. He is floating and swimming. He is sometimes treading water and looking for land, but he's also aware that he's meant to trust himself right now in cancer.

32:15He's meant to trust how he's feeling and where his energy is naturally inclined to go. So basically when you have downtime, enjoy it. When you're able to do less or take a break, enjoy it. Because that is part of the intention of this Mars and cancer at this time. Once Mars moves into Leo and will begin his extended stay in Leo and Virgo, it is going to feel that there's more you need to take care of. It is a more active engaged time. And of course we will discuss that as we get closer to those energies. And one other energy I want to touch on this week is the influence of Venus in Libra. She is in one of her home signs of Libra where she is more charming, social, conversational and inquisitive. She is wonderful at connecting with people, listening to them and their side of the story, having some really good conversations. And she tends to be quite fashionable, polished and affable in this sign. Now she has entered into her retrograde territory. And she will be in retrograde territory throughout all of September when she then stations retrograde at eight degrees of Scorpio on October 2nd or 3rd depending on your time zone.

33:36And she will travel back to 22 degrees of Libra in your chart. So between 22 degrees of Libra to eight degrees of Scorpio is where this Venus is going to be traversing and spending an extended amount of time into January. So you want to identify where you have these degrees in your chart by house or houses. And this is where the Venus retrograde is going to be refining your relationships, creativity, resources, value system and interactions. Now that's a big category. It truly is. And it's an interesting dance because Venus is strong in Libra. But when she moves into Scorpio, she really digs into more of her fear. She's more of her fears, her emotions, her passion and her intensity. She becomes more psychic and intuitively aware. And I believe that this is going to be a very intense Venus retrograde for many people because Venus is not only moving between Libra and Scorpio.

34:45She's going to have three oppositions to Kairan and three squares to Pluto. So right away what this tells us is that this Venus is going to be meeting up with a wounded part of herself that she's going to need to heal and move through as she has her first opposition to Kairan retrograde in Taurus at zero degrees on September 10th. And that is next week. We'll talk about that when she enters Scorpio on September 10th and then immediately opposes Kairan retrograde in Taurus at zero degrees. This could stir up concerns or fears around finances, resources or money, what you own or possess, what you are wanting to accumulate. Maybe it's even revealing what you need to sell, remove or cancel. Because it is out of alignment with your values at this time. Venus is going to have these three oppositions to Kairan as I said. And the next two are going to happen when she is in Libra and when she's opposing Kairan in Aries.

35:58And that will be a change in the energy and we will talk about that as that gets closer, but just know that here in September, this is a Venus who needs to be instinctively trusting herself. So this is where you don't want to overthink it and keep yourself paralyzed, which can happen when Venus is in Libra. This is an invitation to trust what you're feeling even before you understand why. Because she's showing you something that you might not readily see with your own eyes just yet. Venus is deeply connected to the underworld, the shadows and what's operating behind the scenes when she moves into Scorpio. And when she moves into Scorpio is when this intensity really starts this week, this week she's giving you a heads up. She's giving you messages about something to be aware of, to just have on your radar, to allow it to be something you sit with and contemplate, but also drop it into the body and feel into what your intuition is telling you.

37:04And this could be something you don't want to see. In fact, that's going to be part of this Venus retrograde. So this is a loving heads up that there's going to be things you don't want to see or acknowledge that come to light. It's going to be uncomfortable. It could stir up some things that you didn't think were possible because part of how this Venus is going to operate is that it's going to reveal shadow sides of people. And this is where relational changes are going to happen. So you're going to see things that people have been doing behind the scenes or in the dark, things that people thought they were doing secretively, you know, like secret rituals or things happening in a way that they think they're really sneaky and tricky and super smart, but it comes to light. It is revealed with these transits. Venus and Scorpio is going to be opposing that Kairan in Taurus September 10th. And then she squares Pluto retrograde in Aquarius at three degrees on September 15th.

38:07So that's why I'm saying you have a heads up now. There's information coming through around people, individuals, connections, a one on one relationships. Venus is saying go slow here. Go slow and don't assume the best. Don't assume the worst, but don't assume that everyone is presenting themselves as they truthfully are because this is going to be a truth revealing Venus experience. There's going to be relationships and dynamics that permanently change. And there's no coming back from them. It's kind of like if you realize that someone's been lying to you or keeping a really big secret and they don't want you to know about it so they do everything they can to bury it, hide it, manipulate it, try and make it into something it's not. This is a transit that's going to show you exactly what you need to know. And I feel that for some people it could be quite emotionally intense. This isn't emotionally intense Venus retrograde not going to lie.

39:15There's going to be a lot that gets stirred up whether that is anger or reactions or passionate displays of outbursts. There's going to be a lot that gets triggered because there's a part of you that recognizes this is not acceptable. This is not how we treat each other. This is not where humanity is going. And so there is a huge purge of the shadow under belly. And it could be something that stirs up deep feelings of rage, grief, sadness, disgust. I think we're going to see some of the worst of humanity in this transit, but or rather and and that means it can bring out the best in us. We can choose to show up and be more loving and kind to ourselves. We can stay elevated in our emotional responses. So this is going to be a cycle where you might need to excuse yourself if you have to process something that's very big for you. If it really stirs up a reaction or your shadow self or you're just recognizing I have a lot of feelings around this.

40:28The energy says step back, take a beat, move away, don't respond in the moment or don't do anything in the moment. Instead, deeply process everything you're feeling and honor that. Honor the wisdom of the feelings that come up and honor what you are moving through in a very personal loving way. Then what you'll also connect to is the wisdom, the deeper lesson, the deeper growth that's possible. And also some very clear messages about how to proceed because this isn't all or nothing energy. That's what this Venus retrograde is moving us into. It's requiring us to be very powerful, very powerful in what we give energy to and what we don't give energy to. It asks us to give energy and our power to the best of ourselves to what it means to be on a human journey that involves all energies on the emotional spectrum.

41:36But to consciously choose how you're going to show up, how you're going to communicate, what you need to say and what you don't need to say. Because I feel that part of this is going to ask us to be very intentional in our communications, in our words, in what we bring to the table, as well as what we keep to ourselves. This Venus retrograde is going to coincide with a mercury retrograde that again begins the end of October, October 24 in Scorpio. And so a lot of secrets are going to be revealed. There are people who are going to have to deal with the consequences of what they've been doing behind the scenes and what they've been hiding in the dark. There are people who are going to be revealed because the frequencies on the planet are requiring things to come forward, even when it's uncomfortable, heartbreaking and painful. It's all meant to be seen because once it's seen, then we can truly start healing and moving through it.

42:42And the intense Scorpio energies always offer you a promise of greater discernment, empowerment and personal understanding. It also reminds you to be trusting your intuition and your feelings, even when you don't logically understand them. And so we are entering into that turf now as we move into September. We are entering into a time to be aware of what is grabbing your energy and coming up to your awareness before you understand why. Basically, if something feels off, trust it. If something isn't lining up, trust it. If someone's story keeps changing and it doesn't make sense and they're just chasing their tail and tripping over their own feet, what are they hiding? If someone at work or in your professional environment is making an announcement or declaring something about business or what's going on or whatever the case may be, but you sense that it's off, that it's not the full story, that there's more that's going to be revealed.

43:49And so this is a time to be very aware of what you're picking up on, understanding that it's coming through for a reason. And this could be one of the themes that you're continuing to work through during the upcoming Venus Retrograde and Mercury Retrogrades in Scorpio. Even though we don't have many transiting aspects this week, there's still a lot that's circulating. There's still a lot that we are working with and feeling, of course. So allow the Virgo energies to ground you to give you something to focus on to remember that even a little progress is progress. And that's a win. Look at how this Venus is in her retrograde territory asking you to slow down and be more aware of what you're feeling and picking up on, especially in conversations and interactions. Also stay attuned to this Mars and Cancer and trusting your energy level when it ebbs and flows to perhaps not push something forward, but rather recline and allow yourself to receive an understanding of the best way to approach it.

44:57The next few months are going to pass by so quickly, which has been the energy signature of 2026, no doubt about it. And so 2027 will be here in no time. And it is going to be assuring us into a new era. And if you listen to the podcast for a while, you've heard me talk about how we start a new 400 year era in 2027. And that will continue to dramatically shift our values and experiences on the planet. This is a brand new cycle that's going to change how we work, how we interact with each other, what we seek in our lives, and how we find fulfillment, joy and success. And this is going to be a brand new 400 year cycle that starts in 2027 and is something we've never experienced before in our lifetime. In fact, this changeover happens about every 400 years, which is hard to fathom considering our current lifespan.

46:01But we can be, but it is time to be actively preparing for this era change because of how we're already experiencing it. What this means is that more and more people who are stepping into their authenticity, their gifts and their expertise are going to be seeking new ways of living their life based on what they love. Perfect. Yes, that's what we're here for. And so this means you also are going to be needing new ways of understanding your energy, how to make money, how to use your professional skills and abilities in a way that align with this new era. So this is why I'm offering two retreats in October to help more of you get a very clear professional pathway into what you're doing in this life and how it aligns with this new era. This is going to be a three day retreat that works with your astrology and your human design energies together and how we integrate them and create a unique structure and unique path for your business.

47:07It is a professionally focused retreat and it's designed to help you understand how you're here to do things your way outside of expectations, traditions, outside of what you've been taught or told. It does require often challenges to our own conditioning and programming and it also then opens you up to how you're here to be successful with more grace and more ease and how to work with your energy in such an authentic way that you are continuing to feel that this isn't work at all. This is just who you are and how you operate in the world. And so I'm going to be teaching this immersive three day business program combining your astrology and human design to help you get clear on six areas of your business to develop, including your revenue ecosystem, how to expand, how to build community your way, how to own your value, especially when we're surrounded by so many areas.

48:13AI options and advancing technologies. This is focused on you as the creator being the one in charge. We are going to discuss AI and how to consciously integrate it. But the hierarchy is that the human is in charge. You are at the top of the pyramid here. You are the one who is leading and using your guidance and mastery and then AI can come in and support it in small ways that produce greater efficiencies. We're going to be talking about that and we're also going to be talking about your visibility pathways related to your marketing and exposure. This is an in-person retreat happening twice once in San Diego on Friday, October 2 to October 4 and then again in Orlando on October 16 through October 18 after the two live retreats. There will be an online version available the end of October that will be accessible worldwide regardless of where you are so that you can also benefit from this information.

49:17Now I know that not everyone can be at an in-person retreat, but there is so much value and goodness in the in-person retreats because we have more conversations. We have more questions, more discussions, more interactions. There's so much value in being in-person. So if you can make it to an in-person event, it's going to light you up and it's going to give you a lot of valuable connections, understandings and breakthroughs. But I know not everyone again can be in-person. So that's why there will be an online option and that will be available to purchase later in September. If you are signing up for one of the in-person events in San Diego or Orlando, just a reminder that the payment plan option is going to expire on Saturday, September 5th so you would just want to sign up before then if you prefer to use that payment plan option. One thing I love about doing these retreats is that I get to answer your questions and talk with you one-on-one, even during the breaks, before and after, I'm around, I'm available, I mean I need to eat and I do need downtime.

50:27But I'm happy to give you answers and help you understand more of your own charts. So that is a part of this and it's also why the group isn't going to be too big. You know, I'm going to know your names and we're going to have time to chat. You will find more information about the retreats in the podcast description or you can go to my website, molymacord.online and find the information under events. You'll also find on my website all of my current astrology programs to help you learn more about your astrological energies and you'll also find my 10 published books, some guided meditations and some other business resources. As always, thank you so much for joining me and connecting with me here on the Wednesday podcast. I'll be back every Monday and Wednesday as we continue through this beautiful month of September, wishing you a beautiful day ahead, take good care and I'll see you back here soon.
