Take special note of the Full Moon on the 23rd. 

Those dates below with an *asterisk *are conditional. When aspects are exactly at Zero Aries, bizarre behavior can occur worldwide. Antagonizing attitudes and reckless actions lead to trouble for all 12 signs. You may wish to avoid alcohol completely on this day. Be especially careful operating large vehicles and negotiating conversations you care deeply about.

Aries – Relationship issues abound during the first 2 weeks of September. Venus and Mars are cavorting around Libra and bringing up situations you feel compelled to deal with. Love and romance are only one piece of the situation through the 10th. Negotiations, compromises and bartering occurs throughout the entire month and don’t really have that Libra feeling of fairness prior to the 12th. Communication snafus are partially to blame. It’s as if no one is really hearing what you have to say – and patience is just not your thing. Good days are: 5, 6 ,10, 14 and 24th. This month features a full moon at exactly zero Aries on the 23rd. This is going to force certain issues to the forefront regarding difficulties between you and relationships. Whatever you think is the reason romance or business is not going your way, that reason will be more clear between the 23rd and 24th. I don’t think the 23rd will be a particularly bad day, it’s just that you might not be in the mood to have discussions that expose your vulnerable side. Make time for yourself between the 25th and 28th to sort thins out. Mail yourself to Alaska in a cardboard box on the: 16th and 18th . 

Taurus – Work captures your attention as Venus and Mars have distanced themselves from Saturn at the beginning of the month. Beware of promises made there prior to the 12th, and make sure you believe only half of the rumors you hear. There’s a bit of paranoia going around like the flu. Just remember that you’re not paranoid if they are really out to get you! The need to make adjustments are huge around the 7th through the 10th. If something looks wrong or you think you can do better, go ahead and fix it. Just know that you might have to do it again after the 12th. Deep relationships issues can come up again around the Full Moon on the 23rd. People might not make any sense, or you may feel the need to visit a hospital or local bar to grab a drink. Call a taxi if you choose the latter. Never think and drive. Follow the money on: 1, 8, 12, 16, 17, 26 and the 27th . Days to apologize are: the 12, 19, 22* and 25th. 

Gemini- A real touchy, feely Moon is crossing the Sun during the first few days of September creating a state of confusion. While you thought you might have been clear on various issues since May, you’re not so sure now. Many around you are feeling a little more stress than usual, but you’re not sure where you are. Don’t Panic! Arguments at home don’t help, so rise above the din and plan how you are going to improve your home environment. Matters are really not that bad. Exaggeration is coming from the lack of clarity, and pressure from others is simply not tolerable right now. Be careful to avoid blaming others, since you’re not going to win any arguments and others will simply plot revenge if you cross them. Stay cool, bring an extra towel out to the pool and write off the emotions of others – since you’re only going to take losses if you pay too close attention. Good communication days are few this month: 3, 10, and 30th. Children avoid listening to you (so what’s new?) and adults stick their fingers in their ears on the 8, 14, 15, 22 and *23rd . Mercury is retrograde through the 12th and in its storm through the 17th. That means don’t start anything new. RE-do things or place the prefix “re” in front of whatever you wish to accomplish and it will work out fine.

Cancer – Harmony at home depends on how many people live with you. With odd planet lineups, you’ve had your share of stress this summer. The more people who live in your home, the greater the sharing of various stresses. If you live alone (rare for Cancer), then you may be in for a good month. All talk and conversations require action after the 12th. The tendency is to listen too closely with whiners and apathetic people who will not back up the talk. What are they really trying to accomplish? Manipulation is one possibility. Another is that they really don’t have a plan for delivering what they want. This leaves a big hole in their reality, and you’re in danger of buying it this month. After the Full Moon on the 23rd, matters shift to psychology and the observation that many are taking this “life” too seriously. Make sure to splurge and have dessert on: 4, 5, 12, 21, and 22nd. Call your mother on: 10, 11, 16, 17, 23*, 24*, and 25th . Take care during the Full Moon of the 23rd. After the eclipses of July being in your sign, stress factors are off the charts. Good time to get a grasp on your progressed birth chart and see specific areas of life you need to be careful. Watch partying from the 21st through 25th, there’s simply no safe times through the period if you’re careless. 

Leo – Every now and then you have to take a break from the drama. Over the last couple of months, you’ve had a string of strange circumstances test your mettle. If it’s not one event, it’s three (or more). At some point, you have to separate what you can control versus what you cannot. In most cases, these are events you had little control over. It’s time now to solidify new plans for dealing with what you can. Although there can be concerns about money, you have an opportunity to create stronger back up plans. Use this Mercury retrograde to back up your computer, or create back up plans to remove yourself from the oncoming hurricane. Whether your problems are from electronics, health, job, relatives or whatever, you simply cannot afford to give in to despair. Asking for help is not a very “Leo” thing to do, but it’s the best option you have right now. If you’re convinced you can handle everything yourself, then congratulations. Just know that being a Leo, means you’re never truly alone. Investing in getting your chart done is an excellent idea that can yield greater insight and help you “see” the next several months ahead. Planning is the name of the game this month. Your best days are: 6, 7, 15, 24*, 25*. The asterisks are for the full moon that might have some trouble coming from other people. Play it safe and be conservative during the last weekend in September. Days to remember you’re not alone are: 12, 19, 20, 26 and 27. Watch the 26th and 27th around water or prescription medication. Always follow your doctor’s advice in and out of the water if you’re combining the two.

Virgo – Many simply don’t know the trouble you’ve had over the last 2 years. Struggles and frustrations appear constant, and only now has anything looked safe. The shift occurred when Saturn left your sign and moved into Libra last month. You still can experience scary moments through the 17th. Home issues, relatives squabbling, parents give unwarranted advice, disruptions at work…it all seems overwhelming. The reason you’ll do fine is that what you coming this birthday is nothing compared to what you’ve survived the last two years. Start listing the benefits: you’re more patient, you’re more resourceful, you’re more mature, you’re more able to work through the emotions of what “threatened” your reality. It’s not that you’ve become insensitive or cold, it’s just that you’re not easily thrown like the past. Watch money issues between the 11th and the 17th, you can end up spending a lot more than you planned. Debt is piling up too, so heed Saturn’s old call and don’t start adding to it again. Learn from the past; you handled it well. Discipline, focus and maturity will keep you sharp. Good days are conditional toward standing your ground and saying “no”. Those days to be strong are: 8, 9, 16, 17, 21, 26 and 27th. Days to question how much you should be concerned are: 2, 3, 23* and 30th. 

Libra- Ah, the challenges facing the world today are more frightening than true. The long lessons from Saturn involve patience and solid practices. Being conservative serves you well now, since taking huge chances simply isn’t possible. Deep reflection is best as the New Moon falls in your solar 12th house. Guard your energy, and avoid those who would sap your strength with repeating the same issues they were concerned about last month. Don’t fall into the trap of repeating yourself, they should have listened the first time. 
Jupiter makes a shift too, in that appearing retrograde, it’s moving back to Pisces. Whatever relationship issues you were feeling hopeful about are now going to be tested. Apply your optimistic faith that all will be well through communication. Keep in mind that while Mercury is retrograde (all planets do this funky chicken dance once in awhile), communication may not go well. Couples and partners that normally get along well, can face tough times now. Whatever the argument, there’s a need for calm and patience. You will work this issue out. Good days are 2, 3, 10, 11, 19 and 20th. Stronger issues on bad days occurs only if you lack patience, those are:17, 18, 24, and 25th. 

Scorpio –Overall, life has been going well. The month starts off very busy, and past issues that were never really resolved now jump up for you to pay attention to. Try not to be so reactive. Very little of what’s going on could have been predicted and you’re really not a super hero. The new moon on the 8th helps a great deal in that it occurs in a remote part of your solar chart. This gives you psychic insight and interesting dreams. Write them down, and see how they may apply in your every day life. The full moon cycle later in the month after Mercury has turned direct brings up secrets from others or bits of information no one told you about. Now it’s time for these matters to come out into the open. Speak slowly and carry the big stick – you have high confidence showing, just don’t let them see you sweat. Stick goes boom on the 4, 5, 12, 13, 19, 23*, and 26th. Watch for over-reactions on the 7, 20 and 24th. 

Sagittarius –Mercury turns direct on the 12th. Ratcheting up your solar 10th house, you could be worried about your job situation. Note that any promises made at the beginning of the month will be for naught. Plans will also undergo plentiful changes – just act like you’re in the know. Even if you have no clue as to what is going on, you need to stay in the loop. Participate in discussions whenever you can. Information is in short supply through most of the month. Fire fighting is your primary job between now and the 17th. Keep the faith that all will be well at month’s end. Your optimism is needed throughout the month, and your need to ask for help will rise more than once. Be humble, and you will be rewarded. Good days are few until Mercury turns:15, 24*, and 25th. Tough days to try your strength are 3, 8, 9, 21, 22 and the 30th. Patience is your best friend – make sure you read our Galaxy Guide above.

Capricorn – Times are slowly returning to normal. Your patience was tried last month, and to a large extent, it’s time to rest and renew. Strength from the Virgo New Moon helps to revitalize your physical body, as it tells the tale of reward from hard work. Now, of course, if you’ve been goofing off, train wrecks will occur. Capricorns almost never goof off, so you have no worries. Do you? Your planet Saturn is also testing what you need in your life versus what you don’t. If you feel lonely or depressed, your relationship will assist. If you feel bloated and sickly, then your diet needs to change. The best days to accomplish disciplined change are the 3rd through the 9th (new moon is on the 8th). Troubled days are when the full moon puts the spotlight on mistakes made, which is on the 23rd and 24th. Keep in mind that this full moon isn’t really about you or your lack of discipline – it’s how other’s lack of discipline affects you. Be aware that it’s your actions that are more important than there’s. Be kind to yourself from the 19th through the 25th and you will reap a king (or queen’s) ransom. 

Aquarius – Clarity is all around you as Venus and Mars move through Libra. True, Saturn is still there too, but you have the insight and the excellent plan to thrive during times like these. In fact, you’re one of the few signs that’s doing well. That can shift when Venus enters Scorpio later in the month. Here’s an easy guide for that: address frustrations sooner rather than later. If you kept your mouth shut the last few months, you’ll let it rip now. Expect some backlash, but keep true to yourself. Your competition doesn’t have a case and doesn’t have any interest in your concerns. Be yourself, carry your flag high and do what is in your best interests. Others will figure out their emotions later. This is a thriving time for Aquarius, and just in time for the Sun to move to Scorpio, where you can feel a little lost. Strike while the iron is hot and we’ll deal with next month…next month. Great days are 2, 3, 9, 10, 19, 20, 29 and 30th. Days where others make no sense at all are around the full moon, the 23rd through the 26th. 

Pisces- It’s been a rough five weeks as planets delivered their annual trek through your opposite sign. Hope has been scattered with worry, and you’re in need of asking for help. Many of the zodiac need help now, and you need to know it’s all emotional. The tendency is to panic before you’re actually realized anything physical. Your fears that haven’t been dealt with are now surfacing and you have to take action. The August energy of good advice is still present and perhaps more needed. Write out your new routine for the month. If you didn’t do it last month, you have to do it now. The full moon around the 23rd affects your finances. Keep your risk load low, and conserve resources. Your new investments have to be for yourself and good counsel. Remember, your words have power. So, if you say you don’t have the funds, you’ll create that reality. Saying “no” right now can also go a long way to conserving energy. 

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
