Horoscope for the week beginning Sept. 16
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
This Lunar Eclipse Full Moon represents both a culmination and a tipping point. This is at least true in a more general sense, which the ‘astro-weather’, the planetary alignments, on any given day reveals. As mentioned last week, September is a nine-month and 2016 is a nine-year and together these indicate themes of ending, completion and graduation in preparation for a whole new cycle. In the fuller sense this will be activated in 2017, but even now and in October we will get a sneak preview.
This will manifest as yet another push for justice and will manifest most obviously at a social, collective level. The revolutionary impulse implied will not be silenced easily or soon. In the bigger picture the fight now is against the excessive and cancerous encroachments of materialism and greed. We have already crossed many dangerous thresholds in this regard. Precedents must be set and, fortunately, they are. For example, recently in Brazil a law was passed recognizing an important parcel of land as a person in the eyes of the law, just as have corporations achieved not so long ago.
The more personal story includes deciphering how these generic alignments interact with our own Natal Chart. There are other levels of influence as well, or what may be accurately understood as the progressive manifestation of our destiny. The deep goal of astrology is ever to bring awareness to people so free will can be exercised for the sake of co-creating destiny as indicated by the archetypal portrait in the Natal Chart in alignment with outer realities yet while maintaining a close adherence to authenticity as an individual soul incarnate.

Sept. 16 – 22
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Your social outreach is steadily increasing. Some promising themes are indicated regarding opportunities for relationships, both personal and professional. Yet, in order to realize this success, you are also challenged to pay closer attention to the details and to approach things realistically. It is for you to decide what realistic means.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
The steady, rhythmic beat of showing up and putting out continues. The good news is that in doing so what makes you special and significant in terms of what you bring to the world is taking root. Yet, you have to be careful not to overdo it. Is your lifestyle supporting health and balance in your body, mind, heart and soul?
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
A cycle featuring play, fun, creativity and perhaps romance too has begun. This cycle will actually continue well into October. It remains important that you bring extra emphasis to feeling healthy and this includes clearing clutter, cleansing, and any other activity that supports purification. Directing your focus to core levels is implied and could also imply connecting with your roots.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Focusing to create beauty and balance close to home, continues. This trend will continue for several weeks. In the shorter term, attending to many errands, and a full to-do list is keeping you busy. Somehow, you are probably covering a lot of ground. You are here there and everywhere and wondering what is next.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
Investment of your time, energy, and focus continues. The energy part could include money. A steady learning curve is also indicated. An experiential, hands-on approach might prove best, though. You will also very soon experience more demands on your time and attention. Expect a long, satisfying learning curve.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Entering new territory should be keeping you busy now. This pioneering lead can include new interests and projects and the activation of goals, dreams, and visions that have been awaiting their time. To succeed you have to dig deep and confront one fear after another and this trend will continue.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
An exciting adventure has begun. The first stages of it are inward. Entering the land of imagination and meditation to conceive and receive fresh insights and intuitions is important now. This journey does not require that you go anywhere geographically, although you could as well. Be open to new knowledge for best results.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
Building a new sense of individuality has begun. Call it an addition to your home, the place where your heart is, literally. To succeed, there are two main things you must do: love your ‘home’ unconditionally and have faith that you can make the necessary changes. You can also ask for help both within and without.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
An expansion process in your public and professional life has taken an important turn. Now the increase is social and perhaps political too. As though you have been called to join the revolution, you are inspired to engage. You want justice and feel strongly about human rights. You mean business and are a growing force.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
A momentum has been building inside of you. You are currently in the learning and planning stage. This includes getting the facts you need and deciphering your strategy. It may be wise to leave bigger initiatives and launches until next year. Attending to the ground work and perhaps clearing up the accumulations of yesteryear will likely work best.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
An expansion on cultural fronts, on one hand, and philosophically, on the other, has begun. Increasing your social outreach is featured. In the shorter term, bringing existing projects and commitments to a close is timely and ideal. In both respects, your mood is revolutionary and you are determined to make a clean break.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Reaching out to engage with others is now in focus. Rich interactions and earned rewards too are featured. It remains important that you are willing to give beyond what is expected. You are also in a cycle that requires that you dig deep and perhaps make some changes to limiting inherited beliefs and self-concepts.
