September 2024 promises to be an unforgettable month for stargazers and astrology enthusiasts alike, as the skies will be filled with a series of fascinating celestial events . From a New Moon to a Partial Lunar Eclipse and the much-anticipated Super Harvest Moon, September's night sky is set to dazzle. Here's a guide to the major astrological events you won't want to miss this month.
September 3: New Moon The month kicks off with a New Moon on Tuesday, September 3rd. This phase of the moon marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle, and it's a perfect time for setting intentions and starting fresh projects. The absence of moonlight makes the night sky darker, providing an excellent opportunity for observing stars and other celestial objects.
September 5: Mercury at Greatest Elongation West On Thursday, September 5th, Mercury will be at its greatest elongation west of the Sun, making it one of the best times to view the elusive planet. Mercury will be visible in the early morning sky, just before sunrise. Look to the eastern horizon to catch a glimpse of the smallest planet in our solar system shining brightly.
September 8: Saturn at Opposition Sunday, September 8th, will see Saturn at opposition, meaning it will be directly opposite the Sun in the sky. During this time, Saturn will be at its closest approach to Earth, making it brighter and larger than usual. With a telescope, observers will be able to see Saturn's stunning rings and perhaps even some of its larger moons.
