The Sun in Virgo will focus on lifestyle, romance and creative output, but remember, Mercury is in reverse, also in the sign of the Virgin, so there'll be confusion or poor communications to deal with. You may return to past interests or, in some instances, they'll return to you. Take care with your interactions on Sep 3, as the conjunction of the Sun and Mercury reversed will bring confusion or the inability to take in what others are saying. Step outside your views or concerns and do some listening. Benign feelings will flow from the workplace, improving your social relations or providing a warm or harmonious atmosphere.
By Sep 8, Mars in trine to Neptune will bring creative or spiritual efforts into focus and see you emotionally entranced. Venus slips into Scorpio the same day, bringing social life with someone close or opening romantic doors. The add-on is that a New Moon in Virgo also comes that day, setting a fresh cycle in motion with regard to lifestyle, creativity and love life. This is a time to draw on your connections or foster new ones. Sep 9 sends Jupiter back to Pisces, joining Uranus for a few extraordinary fantasies or some wild speculations, though communication problems will begin to clear as Mercury moves forward on Sep 12.
Unease and wild ideas are in the air from Sep 14 as Mars spikes up your house of partnership by moving into Scorpio. There'll be an intense or demanding individual to deal with, one to one. Sep 19 to 21 will bring startling events or a round of challenges or obstacles as you seek to shift the foundation of your efforts. You may engage with those with whom you're diametrically opposed. Lifestyle and friends will take the pressure.
Sep 23 sees the Sun into Libra at the Equinox, focusing on work, health and daily routines. As the Sun clashes with Pluto on Sep 25, stresses will be high as you find yourself swept into a drama or dealing with powerful or manipulative people. By Sep 27, Saturn will make his sweep of the Lunar Nodes, ending a cycle of connections or divesting you of a bevy of acquaintances, associates or friends. Hit the Christmas Card list with the red pen.
A Look Inwards
Mercury is in reverse in Virgo, urging a review of lifestyle and creative projects, and perhaps creating communication concerns. Slow down, reflect on where you're going and how you're going there then begin to apply the benefits of a review. Separate your views from others on Sep 3 and get a clear picture of yourself. Sep 12 sees Mercury move forward again, slowly sorting the difficulties. Sharpen up your approach, hone your skills and get active. It's the fine or precise moments or concerns you encounter that will bring the most benefit.
A Shift in Mood
Venus the goddess sweeps through the last stage of Libra at the start, focusing on social life that comes through work or health involvements. There's a shift of mood on Sep 8 that brings the goddess to Scorpio, heating up matters with people close and opening doors to a revived social life. You may find yourself dealing with a few secrets or hidden matters. Love or money will be in the frame and setting the means of exchange. You'll make a connection with an intense or magnetic individual. Your loved one may bring a surge of interest to social matters.
Strong Urges
Mars brings sweet harmony or creative inspiration as he rolls through the last of Libra until Sep 14, when the Warrior Planet rolls into Scorpio. You'll find yourself with a suitor, a rival or perhaps an opponent. Your loved one may register high on the erotic gauge, spicing up your love life, or there may be a few feisty moments. This mid-month period will charge up Mars from a connection with Pluto, leaving you able to make powerful efforts, or surge ahead in your endeavours. If you're trying to do it then nail it. Give others the chance to take their own style of action. Someone may bring a secret or hidden element to their actions.
