December 2006: Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

December

Overview. Until the 22nd, the Sun illuminates your solar first house, highlighting your personal interests and initiatives. You are feeling quite independent during this cycle–not content to take a back seat to anyone, nor to follow anyone’s lead but your own. You are likely to feel more confident and vital now, and you tend to make a distinct impression on others during this cycle. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.

It’s a great period to do something entirely new and pioneering–to go solo in some area of your life. Now’s the time to make a presentation, particularly from the 8-15, when Mercury is on your Sun and you make yourself perfectly clear–and others listen to you with rapt attention!

From the 22nd, the Sun spotlights your solar second house, and turns your attention to issues surrounding your personal finances, possessions, comfort, and value system. You have practical matters on your mind during this cycle. Security is a driving force for you right now, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions.

Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank. Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, especially with impulsive Mars in your sign most of the month! If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good. You are not in a risk-taking frame of mind for the most part now. Your eye is on security, comfort, and longevity.

In the first half of the month, enthusiastic energy and a brand new, exciting perspective is brought to your personal initiatives. You are feeling extraordinarily enthusiastic. You are fairly busting at the seams with ideas. You might start a new venture or solve a problem now that previously left you stumped. You should probably watch a tendency towards being too blunt with others, however! With Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter teaming up directly on your Sun (or Ascendant), you are feeling like the world is your oyster.

The ball is in your court this month, and it’s up to you how to handle it. You are enjoying a surge of optimism. The more positive energy you radiate, the more opportunities open up. While you’ve been uncharacteristically withdrawn much of the year, you are now more willing to experience life to its fullest. You attract the right people and the right resources, and encounters with others are consistently working to your advantage. A partner has an important revelation around the 4th. Reasonable speculation may pay off around the 10th.

This month, three inner planets (the Sun, Mercury, and Venus) align with Pluto and also form a harmonious trine to Saturn. With Saturn in your solar ninth and Pluto in your solar first, opportunities abound to spread your word, expand your mind, and broaden your audience. Others are likely to turn to you for advice. Teaching may play a big role in your life now and into 2007. Authors will find a broader audience. Trips could be especially rewarding for you–they can provide a pleasant breather from pressures in your life.

This link is a long-term trend that occurs again next August and is in effect until then. Determination, perseverance, and a deep sense of purposefulness are brought to your life and your creative projects. The dates when you could see initial benefits in December occur on the 6-8, 16-18, and 24-25.

Your ruler, Jupiter, connects by conjunction with both Mercury and Mars on the 9-12, and by declination for the first half of the month. This brings opportunities to assert your personal influence, begin a new project, present your case, spread your word, and to go solo in some area of your life. Your communication powers are excellent now. You are likely to have an important conversation or receive long-awaited news.

Jupiter also forms a sextile to Chiron from the 22-31, bringing healing energy into your life. You are accepted “as is” during this period–no need to explain or prove yourself. Humble confidence will take you everywhere. You should also experience power days when the Sun, Mercury, and Venus align with Pluto in your sign on the 7-8, 17-18, and 25th. The only red flag period for your ruler this month is a minor one, occurring on the 28-29, when over-indulgence could set you back temporarily. You might have a brief feeling of being underappreciated on those days.

Finances begin to become more significant in your life towards the end of the month, when the Sun and Mercury join Venus in your money sector. The most opportune periods of the month for finances include the 1-3, 5-7, 16-17, and 24. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 4th, 18-19, and 30. Minor financial problems may be part of the picture on these dates.

Romantic and creative matters are rather strong for you in December. Opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 8-13, 26-27, and 30-31. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 20-22–love is unpredictable on these days. Of course, these would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. Close partnership matters run well on the 9-10, 12, 19, and 25th; and could be challenging on the 4th, 15th, 22, and 29.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 1, 6-8, and 19-20. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 12-13, 18, and 28-31, when you should avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation are strong on the 9-12, 19, and 25th–a power period for all career matters–and somewhat challenging on the 4, 15, 22, and 29.

Venus leaves your sign and warms your solar second house from the 11th. As the natural ruler of this sector of the chart, Venus feels right “at home” here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it–you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs.

This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and the familiar is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.

Mercury enters your solar first house on the 8th of the month and continues its transit here until the 27th. This is a cycle in which you tend to talk more readily, particularly about your own personal likes and dislikes or your personal past. Your demeanor is light-hearted and curious, and others might turn to you for advice, as you tend to be more rational than usual.

This is the time of year when you can most easily use the power of words to attract what you want for yourself. Your honesty and willingness to communicate openly impresses others. If you are in a profession dealing with words, ideas, or communications, this is a very positive and fruitful time for you. An active and restless spirit prevails, which stimulates many changes in personal affairs. Your mind is constantly assimilating facts and figures.

There are times when you could find it difficult to turn the thinking process off, especially at bedtime when a good night’s sleep is most important. Study, mental activity paper work, letter writing, skilled manual dexterity, or frequent short trips may dominate much of your free time. Always maintain a positive state of mind. Negative thoughts can easily act on the health of your body.

Mercury moves to your solar second house on the 27th. As the planet of communication (verbal and non-verbal), this is an indication of taking a strong interest in your personal finances. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.

This is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances now. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.

Mars enters your solar first house on the 6th, where its energy is especially dynamic. Pioneering activities are what capture your attention during this cycle that began for you near the end of November. It’s natural to lead during this period, not to follow others’ lead! You are very decisive, energetic, and headstrong. This is a time when you simply won’t take no for an answer. Taking action comes naturally now. You are able to stand your ground and assert yourself more than usual during this transit.

You have energy at your disposal to move your plans forward, and you are more enterprising. You want to leave your mark on the world in some way–however big or small–and you are more able to make an impression than usual. If circumstances are such, you are able to easily fight back. In fact, you may be somewhat combative under this influence, and you may have a short temper.

Avoid being pushy. Take charge of your life, but don’t bulldoze over others in the process! This is an excellent transit for assertiveness and physical vitality. Love affairs may also be stepped up during this period. On the rare occasion when an accident occurs, it is more likely to involve the head or face.

The biggest news is Jupiter joining with your Sun (or Ascendant) this month! This brings your easygoing yet adventurous nature to the fore, and you are feeling fantastic. Overall, the best periods of the month for you are the 8-20, when you very easily take charge and experience direct and natural confidence in your abilities to get your message across and to take the initiative. Grab opportunities to advance your career, enjoy romance, or to boost your reputation around the 9-12.

Highlights:

November 30-December 1 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

December 2-3 Hard aspects operative now include Sun-Uranus, Venus-Chiron, and Mercury-Saturn. Negative thinking and expectations, as well as a generally rebellious mood, are not conducive to easy relating. Avoid pushing matters just now. Family matters may demand attention, and putting aside a personal interest may be necessary. Challenges could also arise with a close partner.

December 4 Full Moon in Gemini in your solar seventh house. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your desires or new initiatives at the last New Moon on November 20th occurs now. The New Moon was all about you. Now it’s time to strike a balance with an “other”. The seventh house represents an important one-to-one relationship–a marriage partner, significant other, business partner, or an adversary. It’s time to strike a balance between your own needs and those of another. It’s time to compromise and negotiate. Partnership “tests” are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.

December 4-5 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor.

Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine.

Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

December 6-8 Venus joins with Pluto and trines Saturn. Passions are strong and intense, but controlled. A new sense of responsibility in our social relationships is with us, and it’s of a pleasant variety–we feel renewed, committed, and dedicated. Solid proof of commitment gives us a deep feeling of purposefulness and meaning.

An opportunity to stabilize and strengthen a social or romantic bond arises now. In your case, this configuration occurs in your personal initiatives and adventure sectors, making this a strong opportunity period for expressing yourself in a more authentic manner, for travel or other mind-expanding endeavors, and for going solo with a personal initiative. Relationships are imbued with a deep sense of trust, maturity, and respect now, particularly due to your own projection of confidence, reliability, and sincerity. Sincerity and depth are most important to you just now.

New responsibilities concerning your personal commitments may arrive now, but they give you a strong sense of meaning and purposefulness. This is also a strong opportunity period for work and health matters and friendships.

December 9-12 Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter align, and the Sun sextiles Neptune. Tremendous enthusiasm, newfound vigor, and optimism characterize this period. We are inspired, hungry for new experiences, and eager to share our ideas with others. You are feeling extraordinarily enthusiastic. You are fairly busting at the seams with ideas. You might start a new venture or solve a problem now that previously left you stumped. You should probably watch a tendency towards being too blunt with others, however!

December 11-12 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

December 15-18 The Sun joins with Pluto and trines Saturn; Mercury squares Uranus; Venus sesquiquadrates Saturn. The best way to use this energy to your advantage would be to focus on your commitment to your long-term goals. Hold off on major decision-making, saving it for a more auspicious time. Working on projects already in progress with an eye to your future is best now; research is especially rewarding. Ideally, you should be focusing on your commitment to taking a break from the routine.

Wait until after the New Moon on the 20th, however, to begin new initiatives, particularly those that involve career matters. Focus on research for the time being. Avoid financial initiatives if possible. While you may be able to solidify travel plans now, your partnerships may be unpredictable at best, and you could also be taken off guard by new responsibilities on the job and feelings of being unappreciated by friends.

December 18-19 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value.

Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

December 19-20 Venus sextiles Uranus and Mercury sextiles Neptune. Pay special attention to your intuition now. We happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary during this period. For you, this is a strong period for personal finances. Strong and pleasant communications with or from a family member could figure now. A pleasant surprise is likely.

December 20 New Moon in late Sagittarius in your solar first house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon carries with it the potential for tremendous growth and transformation. This cycle represents an opportunity to find ways to transcend the mundane details of day-to-day life and nurture our faith, commitment, hope, and vision. This New Moon placement is a powerful one–it’s a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself.

This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others.

However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.

December 20-21 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now–the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

December 21-22 Mars squares Uranus. It’s challenging to focus on any one particular task. Rebelliousness and impatience with rules and restrictions could get the best of us. There could be some tension with family, such as new responsibilities to loved ones that get in the way of your personal initiatives. Unpredictable events on the romantic front or with your children, if applicable, could leave you feeling insecure or frustrated. Avoid stirring up more trouble than necessary now–many people aren’t in the most cooperative of moods.

December 24-25 Mercury joins with Pluto and trines Saturn. This is a time when we may share ideas, feelings, or thoughts that we normally keep hidden. Research brings rewards, new insights into old problems invites progress, and the uncovering of previously hidden information is inspiring. Thoughts, ideas, and communications are more intense and focused. We are more able, and motivated, to find hidden meanings and to cut to the chase. Efficiency and relevancy become important. This is an especially strong period for you in terms of gaining insight into partnerships and career matters. An eye-opening conversation or discovery may figure now. Very strong partnership and/or career opportunities arise now.

December 27-28 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

December 28-29 Hard aspects operative now include Venus-Jupiter and Mercury-Neptune. Jupiter sextiles Chiron. This is a dreamy period when pie-in-the-sky thinking tends to dominate. Excess is a strong inclination, with little thought about the consequences! While you may enjoy some wonderful conversations and opportunities to make friends, some feelings of being unappreciated are possible now. Enjoy yourself, but avoid going over the top.

December 31-January 1 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine.

Sagittarius (Born November 23 to December 2) AND Sagittarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Sagittarius:

November 2006: Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

November

Overview. Until the 22nd, the Sun continues to “hibernate” in your privacy sector, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have–to things, people, and routines–and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break. It’s not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it’s a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries.

Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house on the 22nd.

From the 22nd, the Sun illuminates your solar first house, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the height of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence beyond its normal boundaries. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It’s a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering–to go solo in some area of your life.

This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature pushes up and out, and it’s time to seize opportunities. Problems in your life may be overcome by bravery, self-assertion, and directness. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It’s not the best time for team work and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It’s time to carve your own path in life.

Jupiter’s entrance into your sign in the last week of the month is fabulous news. It’s the beginning of a year-long cycle in which you are more confident, generous, and successful. It’s an excellent period for recognition, financial and legal matters, and commercial affairs. You have a new vision for your life, and you’re bound to stumble upon new ways to broaden your horizons. Until then, life is quiet for you as you naturally pull back from the rat race. Rest well for busier times to come.

There is a rare preponderance of planets (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter) in the sign of Scorpio in the first approximately three weeks of November, placing strong emphasis on your privacy sector. This allows you to focus on one area of your life, but it can also incline you to obsess on the same! In your case, private and spiritual matters capture much of your attention. Some of these planets (the Sun, Venus, and Jupiter) enter Sagittarius in the last week of the month, and a shift occurs towards emphasis on personal initiative.

From the 19-23, some key astrological events give us a shot of adrenaline–Uranus turns direct, the New Moon occurs late in the sign of Scorpio, the Sun and Jupiter align, also late in the sign of Scorpio, and Jupiter enters Sagittarius.

Uranus direct on the 19th gives us all a blast of electric energy. Moving forward in your fourth house, and as the ruler of your third, this suggests new energy is brought to your relationships with family, domestic matters, home, property, communications, learning, transportation, and your personal sense of security. Stagnation in these areas begins to lift. A new insight about your domestic life could figure. Alternatively, an unforeseen encounter with a family member, an unexpected domestic change, or an unexpected communication could be part of the picture in the weeks surrounding the 19th. Uranus always acts to disrupt the status quo, often bringing surprising or erratic events.

Jupiter entering Sagittarius is particularly beneficial for you, as Jupiter is now moving onto your Sun and entering your first house. Jupiter changes sign approximately once a year, so this ingress is significant and represents a new shift of energy that will stay with us until December 2007. From now until December 2007, this transit brings noticeable improvements to your environment and self-confidence to your personality. Your personality is more expansive and enthusiastic.

This transit heightens your optimism and generosity. This has the potential for being a relaxed, fortunate, and hopeful time. Events occur that help you to overcome problems that previously seemed challenging or even insurmountable. You are able to further your personal ambitions with more ease. At times, you may feel like the sky is the limit! You might need to guard against becoming too puffed-up and full of yourself, however.

There is also a risk of overindulgence and other forms of extreme behavior. Be careful that your expansiveness doesn’t expand your waistline! These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once, although they are more likely due to Jupiter’s direct influence on your life. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

Mercury remains retrograde in Scorpio until November 17th. Mercury retrograde cycles are periods when communications and transportation matters don’t go as smoothly as usual. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with bosses or in your career in general, as well as communications with a close partner, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Occurring in your solar twelfth house this cycle, you may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with close partners or authority figures during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink these issues before talking about them prematurely.

Also, it’s best not to sign on the dotted line for the time being, especially business contracts or marriages! In the weeks following the 17th, these matters begin to move forward. Mercury leaves its storm on the 22nd, when “all things Mercury” tend to resume near-normal pace, and leaves its shadow on December 4th. From the 22nd to December 4th, we have a chance to revisit matters that may have stumped or annoyed us while Mercury was retrograde.

Your ruler, Jupiter, is in very good shape this month. When Jupiter forms positive aspects to planets, opportunity periods surface for you. This month, these occur on the 5-7, when good news or a good idea could figure; the 11-17, when love, charm, and romantic opportunities figure; the 20-22, which is an excellent period for just about anything; and the 27-30, when personal courage, initiative, and magnetism are at a high. Jupiter does not form any challenging aspects this month, so there are no general red flag periods to report.

Financial matters are not as prosperous this month. Red flag periods for finances, when it’s better not to plunge forward on new financial initiatives, and when some minor financial strains are more likely to occur, are on the 1-2, 12-13, 16-17, and 27-29.

Romantic and creative matters are very private this month. Opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 11th, when something or someone from the past could resurface, and the 27-30. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Small issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 6-9 and 16-18. Of course, these would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. Close partnership matters experience a few hiccups during Mercury’s retrograde, although they go better on the 11th and 21-23; and could be more challenging on the 1-2 and the 7-8.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 1-2, 15-16, 21st, and 30-December 1st. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 6-7, 12-13, and 25-27, when you should avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible.

Venus warms your privacy sector until the 17th. Matters of the heart touch you deeply. You may willingly play a supportive role to a partner, offering him or her more compassion and selfless love. If a romance were to begin during this period, it would likely be a private or even secret one. What you don’t know might just be helping you right now, because what’s happening behind your back is moving in your favor and all will come out happily when your dreams become a reality soon enough. Venus comes out of “hiding” on the 17th, when your emotions will be on your sleeve. Before that, laying low is best in the love department.

Venus plays in your solar first house from the 17th. During this trend, a strong desire for companionship and sociability dominates. You want to maintain peace and harmony at all costs. You try to be just and fair when making decisions, as you do your best to see both sides of an issue. Women are likely to enter your life, helping or hindering personal or business affairs. You prefer the company of others, rather than going it alone. Others notice and perhaps admire you for your pleasant and cheerful personality. This is good for your ego, endowing greater self-esteem and an excellent opinion of yourself.

This renewed popularity increases success, for you have the tact and diplomacy to deal with people well. Attention is placed on personal appearance, with an interest in jewelry, hairstyling, and clothing. You are more bold in your love nature, yet not aggressive either. You make friends easily during this cycle, and you are especially fond of love and admiration. Artistic self-expression is important, possibly through music, clothing or writing.

Mercury, the planet of communication, continues to activate your solar twelfth house all month. Your mental and communicative energies are turned inward. On a positive level, you may search for spiritual truth and mental enlightenment. Creative endeavors could flourish now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities. You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude, or even periods of seclusion, in order to get your thoughts together or to be productive.

You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order. It’s a good time to do research. Running a fine-toothed comb over events from the past could help you to better understand the present. The only caution here is that Mercury is retrograde and then its storm until the 22nd, when communications can be challenging or awkward and decision-making foggy.

Mars brings dynamic energy to your solar twelfth house all month. This is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you–and this is not necessarily a bad thing!

It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural–you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself. Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.

As planets begin to pile-up in your sign towards the end of the month, the heat is on, and it feels good. Before that, laying low is something that tends to come naturally, and that is also quite necessary. Get your rest, clean out the skeletons in your closet, end projects or habits that have run their natural course, pay attention to your dreaming mind, and listen to your intuition.

Highlights:

November 1-3 Venus and the Sun trine Uranus, and Mercury retrograde squares Saturn. Although we are likely to revisit tense discussions and topics that occurred on October 22-23, this is a strong period for new ways of approaching old problems. For you, it’s an excellent period to listen to your inner muse, reflect on potential new projects, and avoid at all costs harping on insignificant matters, especially with a partner.

November 2-3 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

November 5 Full Moon in Taurus in your solar sixth house. This Full Moon is emotionally passionate and potentially creative, but disillusionments may be part of the picture. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your heart’s desire at the last New Moon on October 22nd occurs now. You look in the mirror and say, “That’s it! I’m starting that exercise program”. You crush out a cigarette with disgust and decide to quit smoking. You throw up your arms and say that you can’t take how your boss has been treating you. These are just some examples of a Full Moon transiting your sixth house.

If it activates other personal planets, or if it’s an eclipse, the more intense or dramatic your proclamations will be. Of course, you don’t necessarily need to burst forth with emotional declarations, especially if you plan in advance.

Avoid blaming others for your own state of discontent. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you–even if it’s a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you’ve been toying with in your mind. This may also be a time when a work project comes to fruition or completion.

November 6-7 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine.

November 6-9 With the Sun, Mercury, and Venus square Neptune during this period, we need to be wary of anything that looks too good to be true. Disappointments, disillusionments, foggy thinking, and wishful thinking are all strong possibilities now, and can affect our relationships, finances, communications, and more. This is a red flag period for all. For you, ambiguous feelings and uncertainties may temporarily undermine your confidence. Confusing or disappointing news may come your way. Concerns about or problems with partnerships and your career and reputation may be present now. Take this time to examine whether wishful thinking has been clouding your judgment, and take steps to see things more clearly.

November 13-14 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

November 15-16 Venus conjuncts Jupiter, and we have a taste for “the finer things” in life. Generosity, tolerance, and sociability come naturally, and so does over-indulgence in life’s pleasures. With your ruler involved and occurring in your privacy sector, a reward for past efforts or from a hidden/unexpected source may be part of the picture now. This is a very strong period for attraction.

November 17-18 The Sun squares Saturn and Mars squares Neptune. Mercury is stationary direct. Caution is in order – this is a red flag period for all. We are not seeing things clearly, and new initiatives should be avoided until after the New Moon on the 20th. You may receive disappointing news, or you could face a challenge involving your creativity or a romantic matter.

November 20 New Moon in late Scorpio in your solar twelfth house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon aligns with good luck Jupiter, but also squares Saturn. This cycle represents an opportunity to rid ourselves of the “junk” in our lives–material and spiritual. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging one’s spiritual and, in effect, physical “batteries”.

Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other’s needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. This is a more sensitive position of the New Moon, and it is best to find some sort of peace for the soul in preparation for the New Moon in the first house–a period that is more active and busy than this one.

November 20-23 The Sun conjuncts Jupiter, Venus sextiles Chiron, Mercury trines Uranus, and Uranus turns direct. Power days for all. Electric energy, faithfulness, bright ideas, optimism, the desire to break out and experience more from life. This is a time to break free from limiting circumstances and to start something new. For you, others are taking notice, and you are feeling spiritually strong. A reward for past efforts may come to you now.

November 21-22 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value.

November 23-24 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now–the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

November 26-28 Venus squares Uranus, Mars squares Saturn. Watch for impulsive attractions. We may have to face the consequences of past behavior now. Forcing matters only brings resistance and frustrations. Opposition from loved ones, or a feeling of being held back due to responsibilities, is possible now.

Sagittarius (Born November 23 to December 2) AND Sagittarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Sagittarius:

October 2006: Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

October

Overview. Until the 23rd, the Sun illuminates your solar eleventh house. It’s a sociable sector, and that’s exactly how you are feeling–happy, lighthearted, and social. You’re more detached than usual, as you tend to intellectualize things in your life these days. Conferences or other gatherings that are related to future developments and/or shared ideals and interests succeed for you at this time. You may lead, facilitate, or organize an important group function. A lively agenda is promised, you’re attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is strong. Personal relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. From the 13th, some down time is in order. Before that, enjoy your lively calendar!

From the 23rd, the Sun “hibernates” in your solar twelfth house. This is a time when you recharge your batteries, rest up, reflect, and perhaps close matters that have run their natural course. During this cycle, a sense of personal fulfillment is reinforced by resolving subconscious influences or matters from the past. You will instinctively withdraw from the hustle and bustle of daily life in an attempt to get to know yourself, your goals, and your needs better.

This is an imaginative, perhaps dreamy, time of the year. Some may indulge in self-pity at this time, but as long as they pull strength from it, it might simply be a healthy process. You need time alone now in order to sort things out and to avoid overload!

A pleasantly busy agenda keeps you on the move and in social demand most of the month. Friends need your attention, and you are happy to lend a hand. A romantic matter blossoms around the 7th. More serious issues crop up by the 22nd, when you may need to close a deal or finalize an important project that has run its course. The need to negotiate and compromise with a partner could put a damper on the fun, but is necessary in order for you to move forward with a lighter load.

Your ruler, Jupiter, forms mostly awkward aspects this month. On the 2-3, overindulgence is possible, but is really a sign that you might be unhappy or feeling unappreciated. Jupiter’s parallel to Mercury from the 7-11 suggests a mentally active period when you may be called upon to speak or voice your opinions.

From the 22-27, Jupiter conjuncts Mercury but also squares Saturn. You tend to see road blocks and obstacles to your goals now. You could face skepticism and doubt from within yourself and/or from others. Listen to the voice of prudence and caution, and do not attempt to press forward prematurely. Instead, pull back and see the flaws that can be worked on.

Focus on repairs, strengthening weak areas, cleaning up and refining your presentation. Beware of letting negative voices dampen your spirits, however. Caution definitely is in order, but it doesn’t have to bring you down by any means. This could also manifest as problems with a partner, or increased responsibilities with a partnership.

Jupiter in your twelfth house squares Saturn in your ninth house from the 18-31. We’re forced to do things by the book during this phase, but may not want to. This is not the time to take shortcuts–they won’t work. When we think in big terms, or if we have the urge to expand, we confront obstacles or face reality.

Some re-structuring of our lives and of our business goals is now in order. We may be looking for new challenges, sometimes because we are forced to do so (because things are not going exactly as we had planned). We have a desire to grow and expand, but our attitude is tempered with some caution and feelings of restriction. There is no “easy fix” just now. It is best to breathe new life into old plans rather than to strike out with a new plan altogether.

Take steps to grow, but don’t overextend yourself at this time or you are bound to face frustrations. You are best off eliminating something in order to improve the overall quality of your life. This aspect can play out in a number of different ways in your life, affecting issues surrounding higher education, travel, legal matters, and adventure (where demands or restrictions are present or required) on one hand, and private matters, spirituality, the past, karma, and compassionate service (where the urge to expand and enjoy is great) on the other. For example, the inability to further your education, travel, or embark on truly adventurous endeavors could prevent an overall feeling of spiritual liberation or contentment.

Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio on the 28th. This Mercury retrograde cycle lasts until November 17th. Mercury retrograde cycles are periods when communications and transportation matters don’t go as smoothly as usual.

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with bosses or in your career in general, as well as communications with a close partner, because Mercury rules these areas of your life.

Occurring in your solar twelfth house this cycle, you may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with close partners or authority figures during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink these issues before talking about them prematurely. Also, it’s best not to sign on the dotted line for the time being, especially business contracts or marriages!

Financial matters are quite strong this month, and opportunities are likely to surface. It will be up to you to recognize and act upon them, as they are unlikely to simply fall into your lap. These strong periods occur from the 11-13, 15-16, and the 18th. A friend or group could figure strongly. Another strong period for finances occurs on the 31st. The periods of the month when more caution is needed surrounding finances include the 5-6 and 22-27.

Around the time of the Full Moon on the 6-7, romantic matters could reach a head (although creative projects may feature instead). Opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 3-5, 11-13, 14-16, and 20-26. These periods represent true power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity.

This is a month when you can attract or enhance a casual romantic relationship. Small issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 16-18, when a lover may be displaying erratic or rebellious behavior, and the 29-31, when either of you is misunderstood or self-protective when it comes to displays of affection. This is a time when others don’t really see you in the best light.

As far as close partnerships are concerned, care should be taken in the last week of the month when your partnership ruler, Mercury, slows down and then turns retrograde. Good days for partnership matters occur on the 10-11. More challenging days for partnerships include the 5th, 8-9 (suspicions could get the best of you or your partner), and 21-25. The 21-25 could involve giving up something in order to gain something else. It’s actually a “mixed bag” period, when some things look promising, but they often are at the expense of something else.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 3-5, 11-16, and 20-26. Big developments on the job or with your health are likely to arise in this latter period. Less favorable days for these matters include the 17-18 and 29-30.

Venus transits your sociable eleventh house until the 24th. The areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through forming harmonious, warm social friendships – probably related to group activities within a club. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle.

Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.

Venus transits your privacy sector — the solar twelfth house — from the 24th. During this cycle, expressions of affection and your love life tend to be quiet or private for you. A lover or close friend may lean on you a little now, requesting a little more compassion and understanding.

Alternatively, you could experience a temporary lull in your love life, perhaps even closing a relationship that has run its course. Your unselfishness towards lovers and close friends is powered by your sensitivity to other people’s circumstances and a mystical inclination toward life during this cycle. If a new relationship were to begin during this period, it would be characterized by some level of privacy and perhaps a feeling of being fated.

This is not a time of great confidence on a romantic level, and you may choose to bury your true feelings for the time being in order to avoid the risk of rejection or disappointment. Others take this time to regenerate and come into touch with their most deeply-rooted needs for affection and romance.

Mercury moves through your privacy sector from the 2nd. Your mental and communicative energies are turned inward during this period. On a positive level, you may search for spiritual truth and mental enlightenment.

Creative endeavors could flourish now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities. You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude, or even periods of seclusion, in order to get your thoughts together or to be productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order. It’s a good time to do research. Running a fine-toothed comb over events from the past could help you to better understand the present.

Until the 24th, Mars transits your eleventh house. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others’ toes.

As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

Mars moving through your privacy sector from the 24th suggests that this is a cycle in which “down time” is necessary. This is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you–and this is not necessarily a bad thing!

With many planets in Libra, a compatible sign to yours, much of the month should feel “right”. In other words, while the world around you isn’t quite playing in your style, it’s a style that you’re comfortable with.

Highlights:

September 30-October 1 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now–the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

October 3-5 Mars trines Neptune and Venus trines Chiron. This combination is spiritual, heartwarming, and compassionate. It’s an excellent period for enhancing and healing relationships, as well as for expressing compassion and understanding. We act on our intuition now and our creative impulses are potent. We are less tense and driven, and more relaxed. “What will be, will be” is the attitude. Inspiration can be found. The arts and anything that requires relying on intuition and imagination are favored. This period is strong for you in terms of networking and communications. It’s also a good time for romance and creativity.

October 6-7 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

October 6-7 Full Moon in Aries in your solar fifth house. This Full Moon is emotionally passionate, self-centered, aggressive, and potentially creative. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your heart’s desire at the last New Moon on September 22nd occurs on or in the days surrounding this Full Moon. You want to have fun, and the demands of your larger goals in life may have been eclipsing your pleasure-seeking activities.

It can be hard to find time for everything you want to do, but without creative self-expression (be it romantic or playful), you simply won’t feel complete. It’s time to do something self-expressive, fun, and creative. You may be required to complete a creative project at this time. You could feel an overwhelming need to pour your heart out to a lover, or a romantic affair reaches some sort of epiphany. There could be a whirlwind of activity surrounding your child or children.

October 9-11 The Sun trines Neptune, Mercury trines Uranus, and Mars sextiles Saturn. This combination of influences can produce epiphanies and dreamy ideals that may actually bear weight in the real world. We’re at the right place at the right time, probably because our hunches are more likely to be correct and we are “tuned in”. This is a most opportune time for self-improvement programs or efforts. This is an opportune time to connect with groups and to take part in activities involving computers, scientific projects, and metaphysics. These avenues may bring unexpected gains.

The intuition is strong, and insights seem to come from “out of the blue”. Original, creative ideas are easy to come by. Work takes on definite shape, and we can see results from our efforts. This gives us a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. For you, you could get good news about a friend or group association. This is a good period for wise speculation. Travel plans may be clinched now. It’s an ideal time to open up a personal, sensitive, or intimate conversation with someone close to you, especially regarding the past.

October 10-11 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine.

October 13-16 Venus trines Neptune, Mars sextiles Pluto, the Sun sextiles Saturn, and Mercury squares Neptune. This creative combination inspires imagination that can effectively be put into action. Although it’s not the best time to sign on the dotted line, we can make significant headway on in-progress projects. This can be a dreamy time on a romantic level as well. For you, this is a time when a little help from a friend goes a long way. Casual connections with others are especially rewarding, and networking pays off. It’s an excellent period for most communication matters, although some fogginess with a close partner could figure as well. Romantic and creative matters are especially favored.

October 17-18 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

October 17-20 Venus sextiles Saturn and Pluto, and the Sun sextiles Pluto. Yet another creative combination occurs now, and opportunities abound. This is a time when love matters and social relationships can be solidified; and when solid progress with finances can occur. It’s also a time when research brings rewards. We benefit now from strategy and keeping things to ourselves for the time being.

Opportunities to find or renew something we had lost, and to gain some power are available now. It’s about watching and waiting–observing and collecting information before we make our move. For you, opportunities to advance your personal interests come through group associations and friends. Work matters stabilize, and you don’t mind putting in extra effort, mainly because progress is tangible and satisfying.

October 22 New Moon in late Libra in your solar eleventh house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon is very creative and relationship-oriented. In your house of groups and friendships, a new creative beginning with regards to your relationships with friends and to groups is in store now and in the month ahead. The eleventh house is a sector associated with networking, making contact, group activities, and income earned from business. With the New Moon here, focus is on making contacts and reaching out to others in both a social and professional sense.

It’s a time to turn inner restlessness into fruitful contact with others. Heightened awareness of your position in life within the context of the group, rather than through self-centered focus, is probable with this position of the New Moon, as well as a need for social security. Goals that involve networking, making connections with others, joining or strengthening ties in a group project/activity, and nurturing good will are the focus this month.

October 22-26 The Sun conjuncts Venus and Mars; Mercury conjuncts Jupiter and squares Saturn. This is a vital, dynamic time when we thrive on progress and activity, as well as lively, creative, and sexual energy. Our creativity and desire to make something beautiful is stimulated now. Social relations are impassioned, and perhaps demanding or extreme. We may also feel compelled to do something creative or artistic. In some cases this impulsive energy generates “love at first sight” scenarios or erotic interludes. Team work is more successful now. Some level of competition is present in our interactions, but it’s likely of a pleasurable and gently challenging kind. In terms of mental pursuits, we may have to make a choice in which both alternatives are desirable, but we must choose one at the expense of the other.

For you, this is an active period for friendships, group associations, and romance. There may be some challenges encountered in this period, however, with regards to communications. The Jupiter-Saturn square, discussed above in the Overview, is highlighted now. With your ruler in conjunction to Mercury and square Saturn, you may be called upon to make an important decision.

October 25-26 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value.

October 27-28 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now–the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

October 27-29 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until November 17th–a cycle when rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication.

Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.

As well, both the Sun and Venus square Chiron, making it a less than ideal time to ask for favors and to make important purchases. For you, being doubted or challenged in a friendship may be part of the picture. This is a red flag period for all–it’s best to avoid major changes now.

Sagittarius (Born November 23 to December 2) AND Sagittarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Sagittarius:

September 2006: Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

September

Overview. Until the 23rd, the Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your “place” or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle. You want to shine. Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.

From the 23rd, the Sun puts a spotlight on your eleventh house. This is is a more sociable time of the year for you. This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you’re attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is considerable. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Making friendly contact with others, in general, is probable. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now.

A magnificent partnership opportunity comes your way in the first week of the month, when all personal matters also seem to be working in your favor. A family member demands special attention around the 7th. You’re especially charming and well-received on the 18th. New directions in your career are in store for you, although they have been in the works for the last six months. Although you have been in the dark, you will know exactly where you’re headed by the end of the month.

Pluto in your sign turns direct this month after an approximately 6-month retrograde period. Slowly but surely, you feel renewed, more confident, and more effective.

Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Lunar Eclipse on the 7th in the middle degree of Pisces. Its conjunction to Uranus brings a surprising turn of events. The other is a Solar Eclipse on the 22nd in the last degree of Virgo. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period.

A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided in the first week of September as well as from the 15th to 22nd.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th stimulates your solar fourth house. Surprises surrounding your home, family, and domestic life are in store. Something that has been in hiding or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of house and home, property, family, parents, and foundations is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination of a project on the home, an event involving a family member or parent that grabs your complete attention, a flurry of activity in your home that demands attention, and other such possibilities.

The Solar Eclipse on the 22nd marks a new beginning for you. Flaws in an important system in your life are revealed and it’s time to start fresh. This eclipse occurs in your solar tenth house, suggesting that a new approach to your career or a new career direction altogether is in store for you. New business plans and goals may be formed in the coming month, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a strong potential. This is a phase when you will be especially busy with career and/or public responsibilities.

Your ruler, Jupiter, forms some very pleasing aspects to Mercury, the Sun, and Venus this month. On the 3rd, good news comes your way, or an important conversation or communication occurs that can open up doors for you, particularly concerning career goals. On the 6-7, you may be recognized and acknowledged in pleasing ways. The 18-19 presents an opportunity to employ your considerable charm and attractiveness. This could indicate a love opportunity, or a new friendship.

Jupiter, your ruler, squares Neptune from the 20-29, affecting your third and twelfth houses. We may be misled easily under this influence–by others, or by our own unrealistic expectations. An inability to focus on important and realistic details, some disorganization, and extravagance or exaggeration, is likely now. You may be challenged to defend your ideals. Giving too much of your time and/or resources to others may be an issue now, and could leave you feeling discouraged if others are not appreciating your efforts. This may play out with siblings, at school, with neighbors, or in your personal communications. Be careful that you are not deceived. As well, avoid financial speculation during this period.

Less favorable days for financial initiatives include the 13-16, 15th, and 20-29. Impulsive purchases are seductive on the 13-16, and misinformation about financial prospects is likely from the 20-29. The only true green light for finances occurs on the 25th. However, since this occurs while your ruler squares Neptune, it’s best not used as a period for new financial initiatives. It’s better to stick to minor purchases.

With regards to romance, the 14-16 is the most active and favorable period of September. A love opportunity could pop up in your circle of friends or group affiliations, but it may be problematic. Be a little more cautious with your heart on the 5-8 and 25-27. These are less than ideal dates for scheduling first dates.

A strong period for attracting or enhancing serious partnerships occurs on the 3rd, when a surprise could be in store for or with a partner. Another favorable time for attracting a serious relationship occurs on the 27-28, although it would be wise to wait a little before making important decisions about relationships until after the 29th. Open up the lines of communication with a partner on the 23rd.

Be cautious at work (and with your health) on the 9-10, 15-16, and 25th. Avoid scheduling office parties, job interviews, or health appointments during these periods if you can. Save them, if possible, for the 1st and the 18-19. Excellent periods for recognition for your professional efforts occur on the 1st and 27-28. Your career is bound to be especially busy, public, and lively this month.

Venus journeys through your career and reputation sector from the 6th. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities and charm to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely.

Chatty Mercury is in your solar tenth house as well until the 12th. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional and worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing during this period. You might even be able to talk your way into a managerial post. Executive ability is with you now. You are bound to think and talk a lot about financial security and professional matters. Your thinking is more logical and precise than usual, with the ability to come straight to the point of any matter under discussion. Mental work or a good deal of short distance travels may be connected with your vocation right now.

Mercury moves through your eleventh house from the 12th, suggesting that your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to the pursuit of truth, mainly through the mental companionship of friends. Intuitive insights and original reasoning ability produce the occasional touch of genius – you often comprehend issues that others find quite incomprehensible during this cycle! Your objective and original thinking can be used for the scientific investigation of advanced metaphysical concepts and humanitarian ideals – or other profound issues that could lead humanity towards a better future. You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.

Mars is in your solar tenth house until the 8th, continuing to add energy and verve to your career and public life. You “chafe at the bit” when bosses try to restrict your freedom of movement, speech, or actions. For this reason, your career interests may be shifting, seeking new and challenging career opportunities that offer more flexibility in self-expression and personal decisions.

Mars enters your eleventh house on the 8th and will stay there until the last week of October. With the Sun in the same sector from the 23rd as well, socializing and networking are emphasized. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others’ toes.

The most rewarding periods of the month overall are likely to be from the 8th forward, when energy is easy to find from within and without. You are able to get your ideas across effortlessly, particularly from the 12-18.

Highlights:

August 31-September 1 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value.

August 31-September 1 Venus trines Pluto and the Sun conjuncts Mercury. A conversation or communication today could open the doors to a new adventure. A job opportunity may be part of the picture. You are coming across with playful charm today, and you may be called upon for advice.

September 2-3 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now–the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

September 3-7 The Sun and Mercury activate the Jupiter-Uranus trine. Both oppose Uranus and sextile Jupiter. Opportunities are present, but not without a struggle. Face-offs can occur now, as well as brazen assertions of independence. Sudden events and surprising news are in store. This can be a time of great insight or revelations–a time when you see the light and are jolted out of your usual (or automatic) mode of thinking and living. New perceptions come intuitively now.

September 7 Full Moon in Pisces in your solar fourth house. This is a potent Full Moon–a Lunar Eclipse–that can affect us for months after it occurs. The last two weeks have found you working hard towards your career goals and other public matters. The demands of your personal life are now paramount. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and energy spent on domestic matters is essential now. Balanced attention to your public and personal lives is what you need to focus on. It’s time to prioritize. Otherwise, you run the risk of over-extending yourself. A home, family, or property matter could grab your complete attention at this time.

September 9-10 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

September 9-12 Mercury squares Pluto, and the Sun and Mars form tense aspects with Neptune. Watch for sarcastic speech and suspiciousness, especially at work and with a close partner; as well as confusion or self-deception. Vagueness with a love affair or your children could bother you now. Something from your past may come up now. It’s challenging to see clearly at this time, so do your best to avoid signing on the dotted line.

September 13-14 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine.

September 15-17 Mercury-Mars conjunction is semi-square Saturn, the Sun squares Pluto, and Venus opposes Uranus. This is very potent, and potentially disruptive, energy! Although energy is brought to our communications, especially regarding personal relationships, we must be conscious of the tendency to be overly critical, sarcastic, or forceful with what we say and how we say it. We are likely to come to a very clear, definite decision at this time and to let others know exactly what we want, and we have no qualms about stirring up controversy in defense of our ideas or plans! Our comments may be particularly loaded, and discussions could easily escalate into arguments. Sudden or impulsive attractions to people and to material items that later prove to be unappealing occur now.

This is not a good time to start a new relationship nor for any significant financial undertaking. We may not see eye to eye with our loved ones, and we might be taken off guard by unexpected events. It’s wise to hold off on decision-making with regards to finances and relationships. However, if we can separate rebellion from a sincere need for change, we might open ourselves up to new ways of dealing with others.

We might find ourselves particularly impatient with rules. You may experience a powerful and possibly frustrating conversation or communication with or about a friend–watch for harsh words. Power plays may be part of the picture, and could involve career, reputation, and business matters. Challenging or surprising events regarding family and domestic issues are possible during this period.

September 18-19 Venus sextiles Jupiter. We are big-hearted and our feelings are expansive under this influence. This is a sociable, perhaps lazy and self-indulgent, time. We easily find meaning in our social connections. We are more open and trusting of friends and lovers. Integrity and loyalty are favored. This is a favorable influence for winning people’s trust, healthy speculation, advertising, publishing, finances, and travel. For you, this is an opportunity period for matters of the heart and attraction. It’s a strong period for career, business, and personal reputation matters, friendships and group associations, and work and health. This is also a good time for asserting your personal influence. Past good deeds are rewarded now.

September 20-21 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

September 22 New Moon (Solar Eclipse) in late Virgo in your solar tenth house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon is especially potent because it is a Solar Eclipse. Its energy is with you for the next six months. Heightened sensitivity to your standing in society and your goals for constructive progress are highlighted this month. It’s a good time to develop new business plans and goals, assuming the New Moon is not very afflicted, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a potential. It is a time to focus on the elements of your personality that you are projecting to society and as a professional. Goals for self-mastery and self-discipline should be made at this time. This is a phase when you will be busy with career and/or public responsibilities.

September 23 Mercury trine Neptune. Imagination and intuition run high, and are involved in decisions made today. We are in the right place at the right time. We are inspired and able to inspire others with our words. This influence favors photography, the arts, poetry, fiction, spirituality, advertising, and promotion. For you, this is a strong period for career, partnership, and friendship matters. It’s an excellent time to open up the lines of communication with a friend, partner, or co-worker.

September 24-26 Venus squares Pluto, Jupiter squares Neptune (discussed in the Overview, above) and Mercury sextiles Saturn. Intense emotions and clashes over personal values are in store now. However, it’s a good time to get organized and to do some solid work that will have benefits down the road. During this period, you could be feeling undervalued. A clash with a co-worker or boss could be part of the picture. However, this is a strong period for strengthening a close partnership.

September 27-28 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value.

September 27-29 Mercury sextiles Pluto and sesquiquadrates Uranus; the Sun semi-squares Saturn and trines Chiron. Conflicts and blockages encountered now can lead to improved circumstances, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose. A truth may come to light now, or something from the past retrieved or found. Conversations are deeper and more sincere. Constructive strategies formulated now have long-term benefits. However, listen to your intuition in addition to your sense of reason.
