Your Horoscope for September
by Cocoa
We begin September 2018 with a Jupiter Saturn aspect. This will bring a lot of emotional tension for some, and a lack of enthusiasm for others. In the first half of the month we are called to be patient and pay attention to details by the New Moon in Virgo, Saturn goes direct shifting our focus to external boundaries, and many of the planets change signs; Mercury enters Virgo, Venus enters Scorpio, and Mars enters Aquarius. Then Jupiter and Pluto end a three part conversation that started in January -leaving us with a sense of accomplishment as we begin to see real world results to all the internal changes we’ve made.
Towards second half of the month, the Sun and Mercury meet urging many of us to get in touch with someone before the week is out. Then we are offered a chance to mend fences and get chatty with new acquaintances as Mercury continues its trek into Libra. The full moon in Aries signals a time of reaping. Lastly, the month closes with a much needed release, as Pluto goes direct in Capricorn. We can expect personal secretes surface and get flushed out for good.
So, what areas of your personal sky will all these opportunities and challenges arise? Read your Ascendant, Sun, and Moon sign to find out.
