On the one hand you are ready to spread your wings and fly. Your personal projects are taking off and you are seeing the rewards for many of your recent efforts. You do love a project that initially takes effort and shows quick results. However, there may be just one fly in the ointment. Someone significant in your life is asking for some loving attention - now. This may be a good month to restrain your enthusiasm for your own projects, and pay a little attention to your love life. If you are really lucky, and the planet of good fortune Jupiter is in your Sign, then you may be able to please both yourself and your loved one. However, if your interests and their needs are conflicting then try to think of it as time invested now will reap benefits in the future. Mid month should see your beloved settle down if you have paid the appropriate attention.

Those with a strong influence of Taurus are known for being calm, reliable and practical. However you, and those close to you, know that once riled you can also be bull-headed. You charge at anything and anyone who crosses your path. Those brave enough may fight the Bull but most flee. Usually this trait surfaces if you are pushed out of your comfort zone before you are ready or if something or someone you really want is not available. Why point this out now? The reason being that this month the planets Venus and Mars are in your opposite sign, Scorpio. This indicates that someone very near and dear is likely to get under your skin in a way that sees the usually calm Bull roar. All you need do is take a moment, long enough to consider whether or not you needed to be pushed out of a rut, or if your integrity is being questioned unnecessarily. Then you will know how to regain your calm and act according to your own best interests.

You may be feeling a little bored and restless on the home front this month. Therefore you are well advised to spend some time on some home handyman jobs. You may also benefit from assessing your house for any home renovation projects, or doing a little re-decorating. Really restless Geminis might start looking through the property advertisements, dreaming of an alternate living arrangement or a second home. Children are also a focus right now. So family members may come and go this month. Younger members of the family in particular may visit, or perhaps even leaving to set up their own home. Whatever your own personal scenario this is a good month to make merry at home or enjoy a change of scenery. Health checkups for yourself and your family may also be beneficial.

Most Cancerians are homebodies, preferring the familiar company of family and friends. This does, of course, depend on other astrological influences at the time of your birth. However, generally speaking, the Zodiacal Crab prefers its own environment. This is safe territory. This month you are likely to experience both the joys of your home life as well as some well-deserved recognition in your public life. You may or may not be comfortable with the attention that shines in your direction, but whether you like it or not rewards are reaped in your public life, and you are unlikely to dodge the attention.

Most Leos are optimistic and creative individuals, living on the whims of Lady Luck. The importance of personal expression, fun and positive experiences is of primary importance. Good fortune usually smiles on the sunny Lions and so money is rarely a serious consideration in work decisions. This month changes are afoot in your professional life and these are likely to affect your personal income. Contrary to your usual practice (all other astrological influences aside) you are likely to spend some time studying your finances in the month of September. It is possible that you are considering a change in your career or perhaps a Seachange that requires some careful monetary scrutiny. Whatever your personal scenario and whatever you decide, it is likely that the almighty dollar is somewhere behind your decision. You are not necessarily overly concerned, it is simply that for some reason you pay more attention than usual to the monetary effect of your decision.

It is time to re-think your approach to life. Does anything in your life need a revamp? It may be a good time to create a new image for yourself – change your hairstyle, revise your fashion style or consult a make-over artist. If you are comfortable with your physical appearance, then perhaps you could benefit from a little self-help literature in September. This is a good month for you to focus on yourself. Your self-analysis needs to be gentle and kind, rather than critical and judgemental. You may also like to seek a professional opinion on one or more areas of your life. Money matters are likely to change this month. So perhaps you change jobs or get a well earned promotion. This in turn may require a pick-me-up in terms of self-grooming. The grooming efforts made this month – whether physical, emotional or intellectual – are likely to reap benefits either now or later. Virgos, of all of the Signs of the Zodiac, know that they don’t need an astrologer to realise this fact.

Stop – start, stop-start, stop-start. Are you feeling a little stressed right now? Wondering how you can keep the momentum going on a particular project or within a certain relationship? The answer is that you really can’t. Some things are out of your control. Right now you need to take each day as it comes, step by step. With the right approach you can be assured that projects and people are heading in the right direction. You just need a little patience, persistence and cool-headed judgement. By mid-month the truth will start to emerge and you will have the necessary skills to deal with the results.

Have you ever heard of the saying, “careful what you wish for”? This month sees the relationship planets Venus and Mars enter your Zodiac Sign. Venus is the planet of love and Mars is connected with passion, sexuality and drive. Hence September see things heat up in your love life. If you are single then you need to be “on the prowl”, looking for a mate. Sitting at home in front of the television just won’t cut it. It is your time to body build, see a therapist or take a study course – or all of the aforementioned. The question to ask is: “Would I marry/be in a relationship with me?’ If you are already in a committed relationship then you can expect a more intense month of relating. This can be a very passionate and rewarding time, but only if you are in a truly loving relationship. If there has been any tension then it is likely to arise now with a view to being resolved one way or another. Whether single or married, the key question for Scorpios this month is: “Am I ready to face the truth about myself and/or my loved one”?

Do you ever equate yourself to a wild horse? You want to feel unfettered and alive? Well this month sees the feeling intensify, so woe betides anyone who tries to hold you back from your goal. You have your mind set on high ideals this month. These may involve study, travel, overseas connections, religion or sports. It doesn’t matter what personal aspirations are alive in your imagination. You simply need to feel that life is a wild and rich pasture on which you can run freely, explore new territories and learn new lessons. Your course may be altered in the middle of the month with some surprising news. On the whole other people, as usual, are likely to support you and bask in your enthusiasm. You need to only to watch out for a few hurdles. Otherwise you can enjoy the riches that life has to offer right now, particularly in your professional life.

Destiny is catching up with you this month. This is likely to be a mixed blessing. Like others, the steady Capricorn has both strengths and weaknesses. Therefore you are likely to have sown seeds in good pastures, and perhaps some have fallen fowl of their destination. This month you may reap rewards, but matters and people from the past may also pay a less welcome visit. Integrity is the key. In particular you need to analyse your own nature with ruthless honesty. The planet Pluto in your sign demands nothing less. The truth will out anyway, so you may as well be the instigator. Religion, philosophy, law, world politics and sport, and science may be highlighted during September.

It is time for a change. This may be simply a change of scenery, a venture or adventure that lifts you out of your daily routine. On the other hand you may be ready for a complete Seachange. The choice is yours and, obviously depends on your circumstances in life. When it is not realistic to completely change your life then perhaps a course of study could appeal or a new hobby. If all else fails you could benefit from a day or so escaping with a good book, or films that portray different lifestyles. In some ways you are still searching more meaning in your life and so it is important that you continue on this journey.

Planets are sitting in your opposing sign right now. Pisces, the dreamer is opposite Virgo, the analyst. Therefore you are being called on to analyse aspects on your current life with a view to being a little more practical. There are times for exploring the imagination and this, of course, is vital food for the soul for all Pisces. The month of September is your month to be a little more pragmatic. Of course you can find imaginative ways of implementing your plans, but you must look at your budget, the way that you manage your timetable, household chores and health. The time is ripe for you to polish up these areas. You can ask others for help and in fact, it may be wise to do so.
