Horoscope for the week beginning Sept. 1
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
Month number nine is a Universal 1-Year, meaning that it is a 1-Month. Number one is all about fresh starts and pioneering initiatives. It is associated with Aries and Capricorn and requires assertion, but can also prove aggressive and raw. This presents a generic perspective, like the weather for an entire region yet has global implications. Of course, every person and place have their own cycles to measure and there are many and they overlap. Still, we can look to the year and month via this Numerological perspective to gain some reference points.
Astrologically, we are in the final days of Mercury Retrograde in Virgo/Leo. It re-entered Leo yesterday and will end its reverse motion there on the fifth and re-enter Virgo on the ninth. It is worth mentioning that Mercury in Leo will ‘Station’, seem to be at a standstill, the time period leading up to turning direct again and the time it takes to accelerate to full speed forward again for about the next 10 days, right at the degree of the Total Solar Eclipse! Mars is there as well thus we will experience a charge of energy.
The Moon comes to full while in close conjunction to Neptune on September 6 (the 5th in the Maritimes and the rest of the world further East) and does so at 13 Pisces 53. If you have planets, angles or sensitive points in your Natal Chart at this degree, you will experience a boost and activation and potentially a measurable shift. Yet, unless you are aware and have some objective about what is going on, it will probably just manifest unconsciously. Awareness is the key to bring your conscious will to the fore to engage the energies optimally.
Sept. 1-7
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
Something special is beginning in your life. It can be described as a birth or at least a conception. It is linked to what makes you special and can include the emergence of latent gifts and talents. These may be described as dreams come true and that will begin to flourish. Yet you also have work to do and it may take a week or two to hit your stride.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
Something major is shaking close to home. It will affect your lifestyle and touch upon your relationships and implies endings and rebirth. It comes on the heels of a much longer process of deep change over the past 2-3 years. You are emerging as a person transformed, or at least your beliefs, philosophy, attitude, and approach.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
In one way or another, you feel ignited and are on fire. Enthusiasm, determination, drive, and assertion are apt words. The time has come to make manifest the new chapter of your creative genius. It could come in an unfamiliar form or one which you do not quite expect. Trust such intuitive leads and take the plunge.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
A process of building on new foundations continues. These may not be literal and material; they could be emotional and psychological. However your flow is going, realize that you are meant to go forward and not look back, or at least not try to resurrect what was. Perhaps the shift is subtle. Your energy levels will rise as the month progresses.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
A process of taking new leads and strides continues. However, you may feel like you have been blocked or stuck these past few weeks. Fortunately, a window of lucidity is opening for you this week. It will continue into the month and will activate your drive and determination. Focus on creative expressions with beauty and intelligence in mind.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22)
Much is brewing in your mind. Something is pushing you to new modes of self-expression backed by a fresh set of priorities and goals. This is a call to participation in something larger than you. Call it ‘contributing to a greater cause.’ The good news is that by doing so you will experience a deep sense of satisfaction leaving you whistling while you work.
Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22)
A summons to assert a new fact of your sense of individuality has been sounded. It is calling you to break through internal and external resistances and barriers and to go big. Some measure of risk is implied. It may well include working with friends new and old. Doing the ground work behind the scenes is likely and could extend into October.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
A steadily emerging sense of new leadership in you is on the rise. It includes creative leadership and imagination. Taking an independent lead is also featured. Over the next several weeks you will break through into new territory. It will require new tools, methods and/or strategies and fast thinking at times. You can do it!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Seeing a bigger picture and committing to the implications and demands of it is an important theme now. It has to do with truth and justice and what is right and ethical. It can be described as a path with heart. Currently, opportunities to gain some measure of public and professional attention possibly featuring promotions are available.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
The Lunar North Node is in your solar eighth house, the house of Scorpio. It began in May and has an 18-month cycle. During this time you are destined to undergo some major changes. These are linked to your sense of individuality, finances and investments, and your values and priorities in general.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Your closest relationships are even more in focus than usual. Deepening your involvement and commitment should be apparent now. It may include new activities shared with your significant other(s). Dealing with edgy interchanges was likely over the summer. The focus is not shifting to work and you are about to get down and dirty.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
Weaving work and play is an important theme now. Close interaction with others will take on a creative expression. It is important that you concentrate to bring projects to a level of accomplishment and completion between now and 2018. Four months should be enough to get a lot done but you had better get going if you feel you are behind.
