Horoscope for the week beginning Sept. 29
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
As September gives way to October and autumn builds momentum, I am moved to reflect on how dramatic and pivotal the past several weeks have been. It all began with the Solar Eclipse, the ‘Great American…’ Well, it certainly did leave its indelible mark. Despite the devastation and casualty, perhaps it and such events serve to bring people together. Still, it remains tragic and very sad that so many lives have been so significantly ravaged and ruined.
It should be noted that the path of the Solar Eclipse actually started pretty much exactly where Hurricane Irma began and both traced a path through all of the major Caribbean islands and countries and then on to the mainland of the southeast corner of the United States. True, that area is notorious for the generation of hurricanes and it is also true that the Caribbean Islands are not the U.S.A., but then, the eclipse path does not yield to names and labels, it simply traces a line somewhere in the world and one that closely parallels that of this year’s record-breaking hurricanes in terms of size, strength, and frequency.
I also mentioned earlier this summer that Uranus occupying the position of ‘planet of highest degree’ in Aries appeared suspect in terms of the ‘synchronicity factor’ regarding the many aggressive weather anomalies these past several months. Uranus can be described as unpredictable and chaotic. Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac, symbolizes pioneering and can be raw and brutal, at worst. Well, many are indeed confronted with starting again. Uranus is not currently the planet of highest degree. As of September, Jupiter took its place where it will remain until entering Scorpio on October 10. Uranus will, however, reclaim that top dog position, intermittently, between now and early March 2019 when it begins its seven-year cycle through Taurus – the builder of the Zodiac.
Sept. 29 – Oct. 5
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
Making concerted efforts to move into harmonious and productive relationship agreements is in the spotlight. There are some good indications that these will prove fruitful and rewarding. However, in the short term, at least, going the extra distance to give to the situation is required. Aim to discuss everything thoroughly leaving little room for assumptions.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
Love in the air, or perhaps it will simply amount to some satisfying affection. It may be said that you are open and willing to the possibilities. You are and have been looking to the future. This continues but you also want to be more fully present in the moment, aware of and in harmony with what is. Optimism is on the airwaves.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Making some bold moves close to home is revealing your passions. You are especially in a creative mood and are excited about the prospects. Travel and adventure both near and far are on your mind. Your mind is open and your thoughts are with philosophical hues. It may also be your turn to receive, so be open – say ‘yes, thank you!’
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Creating a new state of balance close to home for the sake of harmony is a central theme now. Atmosphere is a keyword. Setting the stage for increased flow and satisfaction is at the root. This may be especially true in your love life. Working together to achieve this end is ideal, yet will require extra efforts, patience, and determination, as well.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Many thoughts and ideas are floating and, hopefully dancing, in your mind. Positively, these are the source of creative inspiration. Indecision is the main issue to overcome. Your willingness to work diligently and with discipline is extra important now. The good news is that if you can push yourself into action, you may discover just how exciting hard work can be.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22)
The time has come to give, big. This give may simply amount to the need to work long and hard. It is extra important that you do now. At least you need to get things started and moving. Attending to a variety of fronts may even prove better than a single focus. Either way, use this impetus to create a promising momentum.
Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22)
The Sun in your sign signifies initiative. Yet, the first measure required is clearing what is blocking you. This may be too many dreams and not enough action, This tends to produce insecurity. Action is the key to confidence. At least something is happening, even if mistakes are made. Confront the current and swim upstream.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your key to success now is to do something you love. The twist in this plot is that it implies both initiative and revolutionary action. This may be described as ‘going big’. Yet, this big effort is more within or behind the scenes than aiming for exposure and outer attention. In fact, social activity may prove strained and unsatisfying. This is just a phase and will end soon.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Some important shifts have begun. The impetus may have come about suddenly and strongly. It may be that you are extra busy and must attend to a variety of fronts. Positively, you are full on in a process of learning new skills and gathering needed tools and supplies. If you have the spirit to whistle while you work, now is a good time.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Your social and professional focus is taking on a whole new dynamic. You are excited to make the extra effort to take a few risks. Yet, you will focus to make these calculated moves. You are not interested in a mere luck-of-the-dice approach. Deliberate communications with key players are likely and ideal. Focus to get all the help you can.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You are beginning to see a bigger picture. Whether you feel inspired by visions of possibility and/or are gaining exposure to larger realities, you are more awake and aware. This trend will continue but, for now, includes foundational efforts. Focus to get organized and to establish a reliable and systematic approach.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
Whatever began a couple of weeks or so ago is now entering a much deeper phase of action. Work is implied and includes cooperative efforts. Giving to situations and focusing to be diplomatic and cooperative is extra important. If and when the word or notion of ‘should’ arises, accept it as your cue to lead by example.
