Aries Monthly Horoscope September 2017

Aries (Born March 21 to 31)
AND Aries Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Aries:

September 2017 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until September 22nd:

The Sun continues to spotlight your solar sixth house. This is a busy period that finds you tending to many different details of your daily existence--your work, various projects, organization around the home and office, your daily routines, and health matters. Your ego may be especially tied up in the work you do, so that you are proud and more creative than usual in your job. You may be in the position to take charge in your work, or to take charge of your health and diet. Sometimes this cycle relates to increased activities involving pets. You seek to perfect your skills or methods now, and you focus on the parts that make up the whole now in order to improve your daily life. As a result, you can be more critical than usual, but this process is necessary for you to sort out what works for you and what doesn't.

From September 22nd forward:

The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me".

You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 19th: 

Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

From the 19th forward: 

Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Mercury is retrograde from the August 12th to September 5th: 

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications in general and job or health-related communications because Mercury rules these areas of your life. There can be delays or rethinking with these matters.

Occurring in your solar fifth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to matters surrounding romance, children, and creativity. Be as non-judgmental as you can with romantic partners and your children, if applicable. Re-thinking the suitability of your romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it's actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It's probably not the best time to launch a new creative project, but it's a good time for reworking an existing one. Same goes for romance! Things will change after Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

From the 9-29: 

Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.

Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.

You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.

From the 29th forward: 

Mercury transits your solar seventh house. You tend to weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into account others' needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history.

Interestingly, your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others during this window. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, negotiating, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to advise others or to make peace with people in your life. You are more diplomatic than usual during this transit.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until the 5th:

Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs.

From the 5th forward:

Mars animates and energizes your solar sixth house. You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. It's a great time to take charge of your health. You have much energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely.

Overview Horoscope:

September continues the creative, playful theme of August for you, Aries, but the subject of work and health grows stronger and stronger as the month advances. Even with recent romantic and creative excitement, you manage to get a whole lot of work done. In fact, motivation to produce something uniquely useful is powerful as the month progresses.

You can be thoroughly enjoying your work or daily routines --even finding yourself completely engrossed in them--and this shows in the finished product. When it comes to the pursuit of better health and well-being, you're far more patient with a solid goal in mind, which proves the successful combination now.

The 2-6 is a tricky but eye-opening period of the month. There can be animation surrounding children, a romantic partner, a friend, finances, or a creative project with Mars and retrograde Mercury meeting up in a sector of your chart that rules these matters. In fact, this meetup occurs on the eclipse point and can get the ball rolling for new beginnings in these areas of life. There may be surprises or excitement now, a desire to get to the bottom of a matter, and a need to solve a problem from the past. You can get very fired up about an interest or idea, and may be focused on past ideas, projects, or even people. You do need to watch for false starts (Mercury is retrograde until the 5th) and hasty moves and communications. Aim to resolve old, lingering problems. While Mars moves into your work and health sector on the 5th, the Full Moon on the 6th serves as a reminder to slow down if you've been pushing yourself too hard. Once again, it's a call to deal with old problems so that you can move on. Feelings about a past matter become undeniable, or a previously hidden or secret matter is revealed. This is a time for making the decision to either embrace or let go of a situation, relationship, or powerful feeling instead of staying on the fence -- a particularly uncomfortable place for an Aries to be!

From the 5th forward, you're in a fabulous position to take on challenging projects that you've either put off or that improve your lifestyle, daily routines, and sense of well-being. You're ready to apply yourself with vigor to getting well or producing in your job. This is a time for stepping up or starting a health and fitness program, although official launches may be best after the 20th. From the 19th, Venus enters this sector, and softens your approach, but also stimulates the desire to do something unique, creative, or beautiful in these areas of life. In fact, as Venus and Mars approach an alignment for the remainder of September (and into October), there's building excitement and motivation as you discover ways to channel your passion into productive pursuits. There could be a stronger desire to get your work "just right." Perfectionism can be a driving force and powerful motivator, but avoid taking this to counterproductive lengths! You are magnetic now, and could stand out for your services or the work you do. It's a very fertile time for your work and, for some, relationships blossom through the pursuit of your daily routines. The New Moon on the 20th is an additional boost for shining in the work you do as well as lifestyle changes.

The Sun moves into your relationship sector on the 22nd, turning some of your attention to partnership. Jupiter has been transiting this area of your chart for the last year and is now on the last leg of its journey, but won't go out quietly! In fact, there can be some drama related to relationships, freedom, and independence in the last week of September. Look for a compromise between togetherness and independence. Look for new ways to relate to others if old patterns are no longer working. Changes should be made organically, not abruptly, for best results.

The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless.

Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.

You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.

This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.

You can get very fired up about an interest or idea, and may be focused on past ideas, projects, or even people. You do need to watch for false starts (Mercury is retrograde until the 5th) and hasty moves and communications. Aim to resolve old, lingering problems. While Mars moves into your work and health sector on the 5th, the Full Moon on the 6th serves as a reminder to slow down if you've been pushing yourself too hard. Once again, it's a call to deal with old problems so that you can move on. Feelings about a past matter become undeniable, or a previously hidden or secret matter is revealed. This is a time for making the decision to either embrace or let go of a situation, relationship, or powerful feeling instead of staying on the fence -- a particularly uncomfortable place for an Aries to be!

From the 5th forward, you're in a fabulous position to take on challenging projects that you've either put off or that improve your lifestyle, daily routines, and sense of well-being. You're ready to apply yourself with vigor to getting well or producing in your job. This is a time for stepping up or starting a health and fitness program, although official launches may be best after the 20th. From the 19th, Venus enters this sector, and softens your approach, but also stimulates the desire to do something unique, creative, or beautiful in these areas of life. In fact, as Venus and Mars approach an alignment for the remainder of September (and into October), there's building excitement and motivation as you discover ways to channel your passion into productive pursuits. There could be a stronger desire to get your work "just right." Perfectionism can be a driving force and powerful motivator, but avoid taking this to counterproductive lengths! You are magnetic now, and could stand out for your services or the work you do. It's a very fertile time for your work and, for some, relationships blossom through the pursuit of your daily routines. The New Moon on the 20th is an additional boost for shining in the work you do as well as lifestyle changes.

The Sun moves into your relationship sector on the 22nd, turning some of your attention to partnership. Jupiter has been transiting this area of your chart for the last year and is now on the last leg of its journey, but won't go out quietly! In fact, there can be some drama related to relationships, freedom, and independence in the last week of September. Look for a compromise between togetherness and independence. Look for new ways to relate to others if old patterns are no longer working. Changes should be made organically, not abruptly, for best results.
