September 2006 Forecast

Key Events:  

Pluto Posigrade 9/05/2006

Full Moon 9/7/2006

New Moon 9/22/2006

Neptune is still strolling through your sign and retrograde at that, causing significant inspiration at best and major delusions at worst.  You're likely to be looking at things a bit too idealistically, which can ultimately cause disappointment since life seldom lives up to anything even close to ideal.  This will be particularly strong for those born between February 5-9 and is going to be in force for several months.  Use this time to change what you can about yourself, your surroundings and environment in general, in other words those things which you can control, to bring them more in line with what you'd like.  Changing others and those things over which you have no control is impossible and will only deepen your frustration.

Uranus is still in your Natural 2nd House of possessions.  As the ruler of Aquarius, he is one of your Personal Planets so will affect you a bit more than the general populace.  He's another slow mover who's also retrograde and will be there for a while.  As the planet of change, surprises and unexpected events, this is not necessarily a bad thing.  He's opposing the Sun and Mercury for the first week or so of the month which could signal a new purchase of some kind, possibly a big one.  You might suddenly decide you need a new computer, big screen TV, cell phone or other device that helps you keep in touch with the world.  Of course the subtle message here as well is that one of those items might decide to die and that's what inspires the sudden urge to buy one.  The Full Moon on September 7th will also be right there by Uranus, which will give him even more punch.  Full Moons usually signify endings so don't be surprised if something goes kaput.

Venus is transiting your Natural 7th House of relationships until the 5th, so enjoy it while it lasts.  As you can imagine, Venus is usually a friendly planet to have around and in this particular house should enhance your personal appeal such that you're more charming and attractive to others than usual.  Once she slips into Virgo, all is not lost since that's your Natural 8th House of sex, death and other people's money.  Between approximately September 14-18 she'll be opposite Uranus, which could trigger some surprises in those areas whether it's a passionate encounter of some kind or the above-mentioned big purchase making a dent in your credit card. 

Saturn is in your 7th House as well, which is not nearly as friendly.  Saturn often causes delays or increases in responsibilities, though admittedly these are not always a bad thing.  Maybe it just isn't time yet for that relationship to move to the next level or maybe the increase in responsibility is to your liking, e.g. a promotion at work.  However, for most of the month Saturn is opposing Neptune and those two don't get along very well.  Their basic natures are quite different with Saturn being stern, serious and practical and Neptune being dreamy, idealistic and often less than responsible.  Saturn doesn't get along too well with Leo, either, which is where he is right now, so you may find your level of dedication to being responsible fluctuating a bit.

Mars enters Libra on the 8th.  The God of War isn't especially happy there and will be a bit more subdued than usual while he traverses your natural 9th House.  If you're starting back to school or going on a trip, you might get a little extra boost of enthusiasm out of it but that's about it.  Mercury is there, also, for the second half of the month, which will enhance your ability to communicate in those same arenas. Jupiter is in your 10th House of reputation and community standing, which is probably on of the best things you have going this month and beyond, until around Thanksgiving time to be exact.  This should bring numerous opportunities your way or perhaps simply some well-deserved recognition.  For those born around the first week of February, this may be disguised as some kind of challenge, but you've got what it takes to handle it properly and turn it around to your advantage and come out smelling like a rose.

Pluto may be throwing a bit of a damper on your group interactions these days, provoking more secretive actions, power trips or general mistrust.  You're probably not satisfied with pat answers, either, and are likely to dig a little deeper than usual into situations.  The New Moon on the 22nd may give this area a bit of emphasis and kick off a month of increased intrigue in this area.

All in all, this should be a fairly good month.  You may find yourself spending some time in electronics stores and wondering if some of your friends aren't wrapped too tight, but you might get a promotion at work or find a new level of balance between enjoying life and its responsibilities.  Water Carriers by nature as a Fixed Sign don't like change, but there will be a few coming whether you like it or not.  The good news is that when all is said and done you'll probably be happy with the result.
