Continue to The Horoscope For September 2023:
Life is getting better and better and, thanks to Jupiter, will be even more so in the second half of 2024 and beyond. I know that seems like a long way away, but it will be here sooner than you think. You have just come through two tough months (July and August), but things are changing for the better. The planets are becoming more congenial, and some of the challenges of 2023 are starting to simmer down.
Venus, your ruler, has been in a lackadaisical, lazy retrograde since July 22, so your efforts to make progress on almost any front were thwarted and caused you to be puzzled and frustrated. Venus will go direct on September 3, and from then on you can do all the things I had warned you not to do while Venus was retrograde. Specifically, you can see your dermatologist and have procedures done or call your dentist for cosmetic surgery. You can try a new expensive skin care line, have your hair cut or colored in a dramatic new way, spend for expensive items, like a piece of art or tickets to a concert or opera, or splurge on a long weekend at a luxury hotel.
Best of all, once Venus goes direct September 3 you can start to have first dates again. I had warned that dating someone new when Venus is retrograde is never wise. Venus rules the spark of love, including the warmth, affection and even excitement of meeting someone new who seems to have a lot in common with you. However, if your first date happens when Venus is retrograde, that budding relationship can fall flat soon after. (If you went back to someone you used to know, then Venus retrograde would not affect you negatively—you started the relationship a long time ago.)
Mercury is still retrograde in Virgo as you start September, and Mercury will regulate its orbit too, on September 15, the day after an encouraging new moon in Virgo on September 14. Wait to make your biggest initiations until after September 15 if you can. We cannot control everything in life, and if you have a medical emergency or are afraid you would lose the chance to get the lease to the apartment or the shot at the job if you didn’t sign the contract presented, then do sign. Be sure you have a lawyer look at the contract before you put your name on the dotted line, and make sure you have an exit clause in case you change your mind about the commitment later after you are in the situation.
As you enter September you will be busy finishing a big project. It may have been completed either at the end of August, at the full moon August 30, or will be, at the latest by September 4. This project appears to have taken a great deal of your energy, for Saturn orbited close to the August 30 full moon and shows that your recent assignment was arduous.
It appears you truly needed all hands on deck, but your company may have been streamlining staff and not hiring anyone new, a possible reason so much work fell to your shoulders. Or you may not have had enough help simply due to staff vacations. If you did have staff at their desks, they may have been a little cranky or distracted because they were wishing they were on vacation—not at work. Oh goodness! No wonder so much was put on you to get things done.
Still, you have some wonderful planets on your side. Mercury’s big brother Mars, the energy planet, just entered Libra last month on August 27 for the first time in two years and will stay until October 11. This is great news. Having Mars in your sign is a great privilege that happens for approximately six weeks every two years. Mars in Libra suggests you are setting off on a new venture or exciting relationship, and your plans will be further boosted by the positive, helpful new moon of September 14.
You will command attention with Mars in Libra, so if you ever felt a little invisible, that won’t be the case now. Mars is known to add to your attractiveness, and your profile will rise. At work, your passion for all you believe in will rally others to your side. The seeds you plant now will carry you forward for two years and pay you dividends along the way. It’s a special period, so take it seriously—in many ways, right now you are at the front of the class, the leader of the parade, and the one everyone wants to get to know, support, and follow.,
The recent eclipses in April and May seem to have made you more determined to make money from a new source, and it appears by now you’ve found it. If you say you haven’t, keep looking, as you can and will find a new source soon.
The new moon on September 14 in Virgo will give you a needed break. Mid-month will be a time of quiet reflection and planning. You won’t want a heavy social schedule, so take a break and hibernate for a week—do this after the new moon in Virgo appears on September 14
Life will go better in the second half of the month because Mercury will finally be moving in direct orbit, and you will feel the tempo of life pick up noticeably. Neptune will oppose the Sun and new moon, clouding facts, so take a week to think through a plan and to do research before announcing a big decision. Your mood will be buoyant and optimistic, even though you are expressing these feelings in a subtle, quiet way. This new moon will be energizing your creativity, so spend time alone, and work on your craft.
By the way, your finances are looking up, and you may get a surprise influx of money—if you have not yet discovered you are a money magnet this year, you soon will.
Your spouse, steady sweetheart, or alternatively, your business partner, agent, lawyer, or other close collaborator will have important news to share with you at the full moon September 29 (plus five days). It’s due to be exciting news that will affect you positively too, simply because you both are so close. Mars will be in charge of that full moon, and Mars in Libra is in close contact with Venus. Mars and Venus go together like cup and saucer—better together, always, and Venus is associated not only with love and beauty but also money.
Your family may be on your mind too, and again, your clan seems solidly in step with your goals and decisions. If you need help from a family member, ask—chances are you will get it. You may not even have to ask—a parent may send you a generous, surprise check for your birthday, which you will be very grateful to get.
Additionally, at this full moon you may also hear good news about a career breakthrough. So as you see, the September 29 full moon is full of surprises and happy circumstances.
