Mercury, retrograde in Virgo since August 20, goes direct September 12. As usual, with Mercury retrograde we all do well to finish that which has been started. Do overs are the usual routine with Mercury retrograde. Remain prepared for the surprises that Mercury throws your way during these first twelve days of the month and take a look at both good and so good habits you exhibit.

Since last October Saturn has been square Pluto causing a big slow down in the economy and in our lives. Saturn is moving past that angle and now squaring the nodes of the Moon. This is sure to add confusion and sometimes frustration throughout September and October. Saturn always shows us what is not working and usually we just have to tough it out until circumstances give way to a clear path. Since Saturn is in Libra, many of us will be faced with making business and relationship decisions. Look to the past and the future before making any compromise. Matters concerning our parents are a big task for some of us. Elderly parents need attention and in some cases we will have to give up our own lives to be there for them. Bend with the circumstances, otherwise you may be losing a piece of your identity that you have to run after in months to come or even seven years from now. Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn are most affected by this event. However, we all will have opportunities to do what is right and that will not always be easy.

September 3, 9,16, and 23 are days when the Moon is angling Saturn and the lunar nodes. Our emotions are sure to have many of us in a snit as we maneuver to get what we think we need. The better alternative then is to take a personal inventory in order to better handle deep-seated issues. Roll with the upsets, they are not permanent. Another way to think about it is to consider how that famous male star is acting, and behave in the opposite fashion.

Jupiter and Uranus, both now retrograde, are conjunct in Pisces on the 18th. Jupiter backed into Pisces September 8. These two planets have been riding together since May and we will notice their influence together in varying degrees through January 2011. While moving forward together they can produce outstanding breakthroughs. However, while they are retrograde and conjunct we are reconsidering the progress that has been previously experienced. More flooding, accidents, and economic dilemmas will be in the news affording us opportunities to care for our fellow beings.

September 21 the Sun, in Virgo is opposite Uranus and Jupiter, both in Pisces. Upsets and optimism rule the day. Upsets can be a good thing, but don’t overreact to any news or situation. Virgo, Pisces, Sagittarius, and Gemini especially should be ready to respond to sudden turns of events. The week of September 19 could very well be a turning point in many of our lives. Take a deep breath. The world is not coming to an end, but for many of us the way we live is transforming.

September 22/23 is particularly potent. The Sun moves into Libra and the Moon crossing Jupiter and Uranus brings emotional surprises. The full Moon occurs on the 23rd at 4:17 am at zero degrees Aries. This lunar event is opposite Saturn and square Pluto. Not to mention, the zero degree of Aries is a world point. Big events are sure to occur on the world stage as well as in the lives of those born on or right around the last or first day of any sign. Time to make decisions. This full Moon will stir us to push forward to accomplish the harvest at hand whether that is in the field or in our urban lives. This event refuels the Saturn/Pluo/JupiterUranus T-square that we have been dealing with all summer long bringing to the forefront stalemates that have been on the table. As the week of September 19 progresses, the Sun in Libra comes to square Pluto on the 25th. That which needs to be changed is becoming very evident. World and personal events are sure to be newsworthy and memorable.

September 30, at the last quarter of the Moon, the Sun is crossing Saturn and the Moon is opposite Pluto creating another T-square reminiscent of the full Moon/lunar eclipse June 26. Relations and emotions are sure to be in conflict. Simmer down before boiling over into irretrievable words and decisions.

Pluto, retrograde in Capricorn since April 6, goes direct September 13. Remember, Pluto has been fueling the winds of political and economic change since early 2008. However, while Pluto was retrograde and participating in the T-square with Saturn in Libra and Jupiter/Uranus in Aries for the past several months the winds of change have been a mere breeze. Expect that process of change to pickup somewhere in your life now that is lumbering forward. The pace of Capricorn and Scorpio lives will pick up noticeably.

September 3
The Sun in Virgo is conjunct Mercury, still retrograde. Lower the bar and don’t expect too much from yourself today. Plan less and be happy with lackluster results. After all Mercury is in retreat. The latter part of this day will be a happier time.

September 4
Venus, in Libra, is one hundred twenty degrees from Neptune retrograde in Aquarius. This is a lovely transit that has us feeling warm and fuzzy. Since Neptune is retrograde though, we may not have all our wits about us. Enjoy those cozy feelings, but don’t take candy from a stranger.

September 8
The New Moon occurs at 15 degrees Virgo at 5:30 am CDT. This new Moon is one for starting healthy habits. Consider what you can do to better your personal best. However, since Mercury is retrograde put your intentions on paper and wait to put them into action after September 12.

Venus enters Scorpio and turns retrograde October 8. Venus is not at her best in Scorpio. She can be vengeful and downright sexy scary. Venus can also be magnetic and hot to trot in this sign. Avoid manipulative and controlling behavior especially if you are Scorpio, Aquarius, Taurus, or Leo. Otherwise, make the most of this oolala energy.

September 9
Mars in Libra is one hundred twenty degrees from Neptune retrograde in Aquarius. What a day for a daydream. A casual pace is the order of the day, especially for Aquarius and Libra.

September 12
Venus now in Scorpio, is sixty degrees from Pluto sitting still in Capricorn. Many of our emotions feel intensified. When these energies are handled well this could prove to be a very satisfying weekend.

September 14
Mars moves into Scorpio through October 27. While Mars moves through Scorpio our emotions are stirred and we are compelled to pounce like a cat on a mouse when necessary. Doing the impossible seems easy for many of us. Scorpio will feel as if they have been turned into a gladiator. Cancer and Pisces can put forth any effort with ease. Aquarius, Taurus, and Leo must handle themselves carefully in order that they do not plants seeds that yield weeds six months from now.

September 18
Mars is sixty degrees from Pluto. Over the next several days get clear on where you want to go in life and how you want to get there. Then proceed with good sense.

Virgo, Aug 23 - Sep 22

Virgo’s ruler, Mercury, is retrograde, until the 12th. The new agenda must wait until the old agenda winds down. Those born in late August through September 12 spend the next year juggling changes and indecision. Virgos will be signing papers around mid month. Money matters are on your mind now more than in the recent past. Matters of business and love require careful consideration especially when partners act blasé about their commitment to you. You will have to work diligently to get to your goals. The powers that be have Virgo jumping through hoops to get to where you want to be in life this month. This is no time to cry over spilt milk so catch your thoughts when they begin to run astray. Best days 7,8,16,17

Libra, Sep 23 - Oct 22

Move beyond circumstances that hold you back in your life. It may be bosses or coworkers that do not embrace your potential. Keep the faith, as those people and circumstance will lose their hold on your destiny soon but most likely later. September 8 -15 is a particularly testy time. Have tissues and allergy medicine on hand plus a hefty dose of patience to deal with people who create dissension. Add a bit of caution and you will be fine. Money and obsessive thoughts come up for air at mid month. You can create both so take your pick. Take your time when choosing any sort of partner. As September winds down you will come to important conclusions regarding family, home, business, or even love. Best days 10,18,19,28

Scorpio, Oct 23 -Nov 21

Communication with friends and children is difficult while Mercury is retrograde. Once he goes direct the air clears and Scorpio feels more sociable. You have come to a new level of achievement. Through mid November Scorpio will have to work diligently to maintain success. Venus invades your sign September 9 followed by Mars on the 14th. You might wonder who has taken over when you have that sudden desire to carry a whip or chain in your backpack or purse. Those who avoid unsavory behavior can have their way in just about any situation. Friendship and love both require humility and understanding on your part around September 21. Do not sell out your values for any passing fancy. Otherwise you will be begging for forgiveness. Best days 3,11,12,22

Sagittarius, Nov 22 - Dec 21

Sagittarius is juggling career and family matters. You want to break away from what is expected of you by family and their traditions. Explore what you think you might believe. Don’t be surprised if you resort to talking to yourself out loud. Meanwhile matters of career are changing left and right. Through most of the month Sagittarius is challenged to complete projects. Some of those tasks you began three months ago. With Mercury retrograde until September 12 ideas and processes are in flux. Plus, you must deal with authorities and other people who seem to want to hinder that which you need to complete. At mid month, Mars moves into your twelfth house fueling minor irritations. Keep on plugging away these challenges are not permanent. Best days 5,6,13,24

Capricorn, Dec 22 - Jan 19

The intensity with which you have been forced to operate continues. Goats must deal with rules, regulations and common sense. Use caution with your words to get your point across with gusto September 9-12. Contractual matters and negotiations are successful if you are willing to compromise. Look to the bottom line and what will benefit all concerned when finalizing any deal or process. Stay focused when driving. Accidents are likely to happen if you are not one hundred percent present. Any harmony you are able to achieve up to mid September gives way to a challenging group dynamic. You will have to play well with others if you are to have your way. The last eleven days of September is a pressure cooker. Best days 7,8,16,17

Aquarius, Jan 20 - Feb 18

The way you do what you do is no longer mentally stimulating so you are looking for a better way to build this mousetrap you call a career. Those of you born during the first seven days of this sign do feel stable even in the storm of frustration that prevails. The rest must look to the way you are communicating what you have to offer. New methods are a must in order to get past any roadblock now and next month. Mars moving through the tenth house of career September 14- October 27 ignites your ambition. However, you will have to use this intense energy wisely so that you accomplish your ambitions as opposed to spinning your wheels and angering others with your direct approach. Best days 10,18,19,28

Pisces, Feb 19-Mar 20

Fish want a change in their lives, but the current circumstances have you treading water or even swimming backwards. During the first half of the month you will have to use caution with honeys and business matters. New commitments of all sorts should be delayed until after September 12. You don’t have all the facts and there will be circumstances that come up to show you that you may not be able to trust the details. Group endeavors continue to be a source of frustration. People and situations that once amused Pisces are no longer entertaining. Come to terms with what is really important to you in this life. Use caution at mid September. One misstep and you are sure to have an accident. Best days 3,11,12,22

Aries, Mar 21 - Apr 19

Rams, especially those born in March, continue to deal with pressures that are out of their control. Many of you are pulled in three different directions having to cope with career, family, and relationship stuff. This is not necessarily a bad thing but a time in your life when you are dealing with situations that you have not before experienced. Allow yourself to be frustrated and allow all of your relationship to undergo needed transformations. As the month progresses you will find that you begin a psychological transformation. Conflicts happen over shared situations whether it is the bathroom sink or a huge estate. Your upsets are rooted in the past. Handle what is happening now by resolving previous issues that affect your life’s outlook. Best days 5,6,13,24

Taurus, Apr 20 - May 20

You have probably done enough good deeds lately to ensure your entrance into heaven. However, you are not through being called upon to be of good cheer in the face of others’ neediness. Just think of a distant relative or friend and they are sure to give you a ring and a request. Set some boundaries and consider your own well-being. The grand scheme of Taurus’ life needs redecorating. Travel and spiritual education are a great combination and can satisfy that longing that has seemed unfathomable. During the second half of September, you are given opportunities to connect with and resolve the past. Legal and business matters are cleared. Do not go looking to start a new fight. Tend to you and your pet’s health. Best days 7,8,16,17

Gemini, May 21 - Jun 21

Mercury, your ruler, continues retrograde until the 12th. This puts Gemini into a holding pattern. Those of you born May 21 –June 5 are most affected this month by this retrograde action. All Gemini are reliving past losses. Many of you are helping with the difficulties of a not so close relative. Children or even honey’s challenges are affecting your sense of well-being. You will most likely have to put home projects on hold for one reason or another. Starting mid month though, Gemini must turn from those situations in order to maintain your own health and work matters. Get back to good habits and work alone when possible as you have had enough service. Resign from the team to do your own thing. Best days 10,18,19,28

Cancer, Jun 22 - Jul 22

Cancer is busy with home and family responsibilities. You may want to go to work just to get away from those who need you at home. Figure out a better way for home dynamics to run smoothly so that you can focus on your talents and abilities. Vacuuming and repairing broken furniture are not your destiny. Look to your real talents and put them out there for the world to enjoy. Travel and education can help you reinvent your path over the next four months. Starting September 9, life feels lighter and you feel more social. Beginning mid month Cancer has the vitality through late October to move forward with most plans of action. When making any decision, consider what makes you happy. Best days 3,11,12,22

Leo, Jul 23 - Aug 22

Leo has great ideas regarding financial matters but may not have a practical approach to get those ideas off the ground. Financial difficulties are possible but also short lived. This is not time to go into business with a sibling. Both siblings and neighbors fuel your frustration. Speaking of fuel you might find yourself carting others around on your dime. Speak up and let others know what you need. Lots of activity begins to take place at home beginning September 15. Perhaps a remodel, a move, or simply a discussion over where to place the new couch. Cohabitation is not so easy over the next several weeks so pick your battles wisely, otherwise you might find yourself sleeping on the couch. Best days 5,6,13,24
