This is certainly the month to get things done with Mercury going retrograde at the very end of the month, September 29. So, if you have new projects to start, get them started. Life is moving along more smoothly for most of us–and expect the tension to be less dense. The Sun moves into Libra the first day of fall on the 22nd. The Full Moon in Pisces on the 2nd will have us all wanting to get away from it all. The new moon on the 17th expects us to get back into our routines. Good days to play this month are September 1—2, 5—6, 11, and 17. Days to hide under the bed are September 4, 7, 10, 14, and 26.

Aries (March 21—April 19) This is going to be an active and productive month for you. You are ready to get back into your fall routines. First thing is going to be getting your home and work place in order. Don’t be too pushy at work or you may incite someone’s anger. You will feel the most comfortable at home and may even want to invite friends in for an end-of-the-summer bash. Be careful you don’t spread yourself too thin. Even with your energy level, you may find your limits.

Taurus (April 20—May 20) Stress about your future career choices is still around, but you are finding more creative solutions than you have for the last three months. Money is still tight, but you are ready to get on with things and take some action. You were just way too cautious for the last couple of months. Make sure you have a light schedule on the 14th and 15th. Anything you don’t want to do, you won’t. You are ready to address the problems of your relationship. They just seemed overwhelming.

Gemini (May 21—June 21) You are one of the signs that has been on the roller-coaster ride of hell for the last three months. At this point, anything would seem better. You are really working on getting grounded, and some of this will show up as you make your home a more snug abode. Even relationships with your parents will show breakthroughs as you have more self-confidence. This will reflect itself at work because you seem more focused and intense than usual. Your tolerance for others is very low the first week. Don’t hand out grades till that week is over.

Cancer (June 22—July 22) Can you say self-indulgence? Or overeating? This is the month to grow. And if you don’t feed your brain and social life, you will be feeding other parts of you. You are more optimistic and philosophical. No, really! Your routines begin to get back on line with only a bump or two on the 7th and 8th. Relationships heat up after the 9th. The summer may be ending, but you will only be getting hotter. Boredom in relationships will stir up trouble. Find an adventure or you will create a dramatic one.

Leo (July 23—Aug. 22) Love and relationships are very strong this month. Your charm is just oozing from your pores. Others may think you are just being dreamy about life and love. But, what do they know? Friendships can be costly this month, and community groups may ask for more than they give. Some groups may have to go. Be careful at work–you will be a bit clumsy because your brain is moving faster than your body. Watch your tendency to overspend this month.

Virgo (Aug. 23—Sept. 22) With this solar cycle (or birthday time), you are very serious about your future. You are expecting to get ahead this year with your career. And if that is not clearly evident, you will be casting your résumé out for some fresh bites. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself going into your own business. Business associations can be very fecund this year. They will provide you with lots of contacts and social activity.

Libra (Sept. 23—Oct. 23) The last three weeks of this month are going to be exceptionally busy. So if you are planning to get some rest or get your life organized, the first week is the week to get it done. After that, it will be too late. This is a great time of opportunities for you. Your career path has some great opportunities and potential promotions. After the 9th, you may feel a lot of impatience with those around you. And yes, they are moving slowly. The end of the month is an important time of review and reflection. Take the time to exploit it.

Scorpio (Oct. 24—Nov. 21) You have been very worried about money over the last three months, so this is a great month for you to get out and play. Come out of that cave with the Hydra and get yourself involved with business or community organizations. You will really feel like you are making some progress with your life. Your charm factor is increased, and you can attract more business or love to you because your schmooze factor is so strong. But you still have get out of your house. Your ideas are very sellable. Write, lecture, or teach. Others will want to hear what you have to say.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22—Dec. 21) Please put that two-ton weight down–you have been carrying it far enough. Life has been way, way, way too serious for normally happy-go-lucky Sagittarians. Oh, you found your boundaries, you say. Good for you. Relationships are still stressful, but you must say what you want and not just find a way to please others. And if you don’t like your work routines, change them. Believe it or not, you are in charge.

Capricorn (Dec. 22—Jan. 19) You will want to act on all that crosses your path this month. Everything that happens, you will take personally. And even if it wasn’t meant that way, you will be mad that it wasn’t personal. In other words, be careful. Your central nervous system is running on high and your body may be feeling overworked. Put some time into your relationships–they will be very successful. This applies to business or personal. At the end of this month, it is even busier.

Aquarius (Jan. 20— Feb. 18) You are certainly not wanting to follow your old life path. And you need to be out there doing dream fulfillment. If not, then work and friends and lovers can seem oppressive. You want to meet new people and have new life experiences. Watch that you don’t overload yourself with things to do. It will catch up with you at the end of the month. Then you will really feel trapped.

Pisces (Feb. 19—March 20) Home and family goals still seem inadequate. You are in the process of re-creating yourself, letting go of the personal fuels that have always driven you. You are cutting the umbilical cord and asking yourself, "What do I really want to do?" Outside help can be useful. You may want to see a career counselor or a business coach. You have more options than ever before, and you are not running on automatic. The truth is that you have more control over your life and you can make conscious decisions about the directions you take. Take some time to explore and make good choices.
