Horoscope for the week beginning Sept. 14
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
Summer is in the final official stretch. Although for many it ends on Labour Day, this is not technically true. Autumn Equinox is the true marker for the end of the season and the beginning of autumn and it occurs on Saturday, September 22 this year.
Last week Saturn turned direct after almost five months of retrograde motion in Capricorn, its own sign. Now, it is beginning to build momentum again from 2 Capricorn and it will take until mid-December before it covers the ‘ground it lost’. In that time, The Moon’s Nodes will have entered Cancer and Capricorn to begin a new 18-month round and Jupiter will have entered its own sign of Sagittarius and Uranus will have retrograded back into Aries.
In the shorter term, the New Moon in Virgo that occurred on September 9 will make its first quarter turn this week and will leave us all with the feeling that summer really did end early.
Sept. 14-20
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
In large measure, your focus has turned to duties and responsibilities. These likely include paying closer attention to your finances. While returns of various kinds for past efforts are flowing, which can include inheritances or prospects of them, you may need to clearly identify them. Meanwhile, you yearn for love and affection and the desire levels are rising.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Paying closer attention to the details regarding creative projects is now in focus. Your aim is to achieve harmony, symmetry and balance. If this is not available or happening, you may feel the need to start over. Yet first, you must try all other solutions. A renewed interest in learning implies new innovations and methods.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Getting things organized close to home is likely now. To succeed, you may have to give more. Yet, circumstances may not be leaving you feeling entirely optimistic regarding the outcome. Neither will it help to reactively throw money at problems in hopes of solving them. You may need professional help but it will work best if they help you to actually do the work.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
You have entered an extra busy cycle. It includes a long to-do list and a good deal of short-distance travel. Attending to errands is likely, yet you could as easily be sightseeing. Either way, you are determined to squeeze as much out of it as you can. While this is generally a pretty positive cycle, it may come with some unexpected and quirky twists.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
Slowly but surely you find yourself taking a new turn. Positively, it is one that will help you secure a more solid foundation. A learning curve is implied and will continue for many months. Circumstances have been contributing to a steady rise in your confidence levels. This stands to produce a whole new flow of inspiration.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
The new has come to take new leads and strides. Initiatives launched now are likely to succeed. Your focus is sharp yet your mind is open and your perspectives are more balanced than they used to be. This is affording a new level of confidence and determination. The going may seem slow and the learning curve is steady but the way is clear.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Balancing duties and responsibilities with rest and retreat continue. Already you are experiencing the push to bring your awareness to the forefront or down to earth. So, you do what you must but no more, not yet. Do what you can to allow the momentum to build slowly, progressively over the course of the month. It may take until mid-October to reach full speed again.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Mars re-entering Aquarius will be evident for you. It will manifest as dynamic and measurable changes close to home. These could come about quite unexpectedly and shake your world over the next couple of months. While this is an expansive time in your life, a rather steep learning curve of some kind is implied.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Securing the footings of your life continue. Looking back over the years, you have likely come through a lot, either within you or in your immediate family status. Now the work focus is directed toward establishing a new sense of security. Flexibility is a key component and can come in a variety of forms. The greater the scope and range of flexibility built in your foundation, the better.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Many changes have unfolded over the past 12-18 months for you. If this is true, then you can be sure that they are features of your destiny. They are not necessarily the result of what you did or did not do. Neither is anyone else to blame. If you are leaning on either of these your overall mood will be negative. The real question is: how can and will you adapt?
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
New waves of change, transformation and regeneration are flowing in. These could manifest as a new round of focus on health and fitness. In your public life, opportunities for expansion are surfacing, albeit slowly. For almost the past year, circumstances have pushed you out of prior positions of power and authority and into new expressions.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Things have taken a definite turn on relationship fronts. These are probably for the better and include new involvements. Yet, you are cautioned to exercise full diplomacy and to keep your ego in check. Focus on exercising extra measures of empathy instead. This means: be more aware of others and interested in their objectives with win/win goals in mind.
