If nobody minds, I’m taking this month off. Here is the forecast but I have no other gems to offer. Well, except one thing… Has anyone else had a crazy confrontation lately? I did. I saw it coming but being the person with the rose-colored glasses, thought everything would turn out fine. It did not. There are some people you can never make peace with, in spite of your sincerest efforts. Walk away and let it be. I love that expression, let it be. Forbearance, understanding and compassion are the order of the day.
Saturn Rx square stationing Uranus Rx, in a T-square with natal Pluto in my 7th house. It all makes sense now. You never know how a transit will manifest in your life, until suddenly, there it is. Deal with it and move on. Accept the responsibility for what happens, even if it doesn’t appear to be your fault. There is a reason for everything. You are meant to learn something from it. Forgive others. One day you will find a way to atone.
The moving finger writes; and having writ, moves on: nor all thy piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all thy tears wash out a word of it. -Omar Khayyam.
My father sent this quotation to me once when things got rough. The wisdom of it was comforting.
Celestial Almanac: Pisces Full Moon September 10, Libra New Moon September 25, Autumn Equinox September 23.
Read on for the September forecast. Find the balance in your life.
All relationships are favored with the Sun entering Libra (Equinox) and communications as well, with Mercury in Libra. Mercury stations Rx so you may want to change your tack in some way. Put some things on hold for the time being, and remember this is not difficult, just a different energy. The Libra New Moon on September 25 is a good day for a fresh start. A new friend or romantic relationship. Getting engaged, a wedding or starting a new business.
Uranus recently stationed Rx here and he’s still just sitting there, in a square to Saturn. Watch out. The Uranus energy becomes highly concentrated. There may be confrontations from out of nowhere. Or unexpected surprises of various kinds. A whirlwind love affair or a break-up, losing your job, an injury, a financial windfall or conversely, a loss. Maybe you can avoid the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. The Sun and Venus in Virgo is a fortunate influence. Romance, creativity and social life are favored. Maybe this will turn out to be a pleasant month.
The Sun and Venus in Virgo are very good for home life and family activities. Decorate for the fall, buy new furniture or art. Mars is here, and in fact, he will station in October and hang around in Gemini for the next seven months. You are in for a long high energy haul, better make the best use of it. Find some hard work to do. You are more ambitious and motivated, no matter what you are involved in. It’s a very good influence for career and professional projects.
The Autumn Equinox on September 23 puts a focus on your home life. Clean house, make plans with family and buy pumpkins and fall flowers. By polarity, this influence is also good for the career and public life. You may start a new job or get some attention for a special project you have completed. Politicians are favored. Good time to campaign for public office. And remember, Libra is all about balance. The scales. Find the balance in your life.
People who have Pluto in late Leo (born around 1953-1956) will have Saturn Rx in opposition. Combined with the Sun in Leo this is even more important. It is a difficult transit, but it depends on your situation. Transformation, personal changes, delays and obstacles of a physical nature, such as crippling ailments. Saturn also indicates more responsibilities in marriage. You have to care for a partner who is ill or injured. Saturn brings a new partner who is older and more experienced.
The Sun is here until September 23. Venus arrives September 5. Although Virgo is a modest, reserved, service-oriented sign, and Venus is in fall (as opposed to exalted), it is still nice to have here. You are gentle, kind and helpful. You are a gracious host. There may be social events coming up where you can serve others. Teachers, servers, nurses and health care workers are favored. Personal relationships are also favored when Venus crosses your Sun.
Autumn Equinox on September 23 followed shortly by the New Moon. This is your time to shine and to find the balance. Libra likes peace and harmony, and for everyone to get along. That said, communications are important now especially with Mercury here. Get all your ducks in a row. Mercury will station on Rx September 9, moves into Virgo September 23. You know the drill. Put certain projects on the back burner, sort out files, clean house and so on. Don’t sign papers yet.
Uranus Rx in Taurus will stick around for a while. This affects one-to-one relationships especially marriage. The best thing to do is keep an open mind and don’t demand too much of your partner. Give him/her plenty of space. Single people may have several short-term affairs. Saturn in Aquarius will affect home life. You may want to find a better house but there is a delay. Stick it out where you are. Chop wood, carry water. Watch finances. Don’t overextend yourself.
Mars in Gemini will be there for several months, in your relationship house. It could be exciting and romantic, or you may squabble a lot. Meet your partner halfway. Try to get along. Find projects that you can work on together. Take care of yourself and get plenty of rest. Venus in Virgo from the 6th on is good for the career and all business interests. Meetings and presentations will go well. Women are helpful. Marketing, the arts and entertainment are favored.
The Autumn Equinox favors your career and public life. You may get some attention this month. It is good time to look for a job, consider a different career, apply for a grant or retire. Usually, retirement comes with honors and great fanfare. The New Moon on the 25th is a time for making a change or starting a new chapter. The Sun and Venus are in your travel house. You can plan a vacation, a cruise, or go back to school. Something in the arts would be nice.
The square between Saturn and Uranus may cause problems. Illness or injury that will keep you in for a while, for example. Things happen at home or involving the family. With my Aquarius ascendant, I’ve recently felt the effects of this transit. Problems with my family came up suddenly. The square lingers for several more months so be patient and hang in there. On the plus side, Mars in Gemini will spice up your social life. Romance, children and leisure activities are favored. Try to fit in some rest and relaxation.
Mars will spend a seven-month period in your house of family and home-based activities. It could be good, productive, or you could have some problems. Some will have conflicts with family members. Work them out. The Sun and Venus in Virgo are favorable for relationships of all kinds. You are more affectionate and conciliatory. Go on a romantic date. Professionally, diplomatic councils and business agreements are favored.
