MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
Intensity is in the air as the calendar turns. The Sun is in Virgo until September 22nd, your intimate eighth house. Your emotions are certainly running to extremes! Channel some of that energy into work and finances. On September 9th, expansive Jupiter backs into Pisces, your money sector, for the rest of the year.

Jupiter was here from January until June, bringing new job and revenue opportunities. If you’ve taken a pause from the action, dive back in. Jupiter also links arms with your ruling planet Uranus for the remainder of 2010, forming an exact alignment on September 18th. A mind-blowing offer could arrive near this date—one that could involve travel, technology, even relocation. Expect the unexpected!

Not that you should stand by passively waiting for opportunity to strike, Aquarius. On the 9th, magnetic Venus enters Scorpio, your tenth house of career and success. Go-getter Mars also moves into Scorpio on the 14th, setting off six weeks of incredible drive and ambition. Make a master plan and take decisive action each day. Travel, study, and entrepreneurial ventures get a boost when the Sun enters Libra on September 22nd. Sunshine breaks through that storm cloud that’s been hovering over your head—your upbeat, “it’s-all-good” personality is back. Being laid-back is lovely, but don’t lapse into superficiality. Make room for spiritual pursuits, healing, and deeper emotional exploration, too. You’re expanding at the soul level, so make sure your worldly efforts also enrich your inner life.

LOVE & ROMANCE:
You want it all or nothing at all this month. The Sun, a new moon, and Mercury are in Virgo, your eighth house of intimacy and deep bonding. This is a time when love turns serious, and you’ve got engagements, pregnancies, cohabitation, or possibly a breakup on your mind. You’re concerned with the greater “we,” the sum of the parts that you and significant other form. The new moon on September 8th is an important day for getting closer, and could even bring a romantic proposal. With love-planet Venus entering your tenth house of long-term commitments on the 9th, your mind is on building a life together with someone who shares your values and goals.

With Mercury, planet of communication, in retrograde (backward) station until the 13th, old feelings could resurface. Jealousy, suspicion, and heavier emotions can flare—and you may just hear from that ex who knew exactly how to torment you. Don’t get caught in another come-here-now-go-away web, Aquarius. This person is just a messenger, here to awaken you to deeper needs that you’ve been sweeping under the rug. While you’ll be tempted to stage an emotional confrontation near the September 23rd full moon, don’t do it. Chances are, you’re viewing yourself as a victim, rather than taking equal responsibility for fostering an unhealthy dynamic. Instead of trying to win yet another round, or fighting to get this person to “see the light,” release it to the universe. The more you feed a conflict, the worse it gets. Learn the bigger lesson.


MONEY & CAREER:
Away we go! Your career is about to soar, Aquarius, and a whole lineup of planets team up for the task. On September 9th, charming Venus moves into Scorpio, followed by energizer Mars on the 14th. Scorpio rules your tenth house of professional triumph, and with this irresistible duo visiting, you could be pegged for a promotion or a big public honor. Err on the conservative side with your fall wardrobe—pencil skirts and pumps instead of denim and peep-toe booties, actual dress pants instead of khakis for the dudes. You can still add personal flair, but the VIPs are watching, so make the right impression. This is especially true if your company is considering fall cutbacks. (Mars can add a stressful, competitive element.) You may need to kiss up a little and prove you’re a keeper. Whatevs—just turn that natural charm up, do better than your best, and you’ll be fine.

Pennies could fall from heaven, anyhow—all the more reason to hold your head high. On September 9th, lucky Jupiter backs into Pisces, your money sector, where it joins forces with your ruler Uranus, planet of surprises and innovation. Both planets are retrograde (backward), indicating that a profitable venture started earlier this year could pick up speed again. When the two conjoin on September 18th, you could find yourself on an exciting new path, fielding offers, or even walking away from an unsatisfying situation and leaping into something new. The Libra Sun could bring freelance assignments after the 22nd, a chance to pad your income with work on the side. You may also travel or sign up for a course to expand your expertise.

Although you’re rocking and rolling, how are your finances behind the scenes? That balance sheet is due for an overhaul, especially while Mercury is retrograde in Virgo, your wealth sector, until the 13th. If you’re living beyond your means, buying on credit, or putting off long-term financial plans, it’s time to whip your bank account into shape. The Virgo new moon on September 8th is all about money: real estate, joint ventures and shared finances (for example, with a spouse or partner) are highlighted near this new moon. Don’t be too proud to talk to an expert advisor, even a credit counselor, if necessary. It’s time to make your hard-earned money work overtime for you.

HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
Life is really jamming, but are you taking care of number-one? Pluto, ruler of the psyche and the unconscious, has been retrograde since April, giving you a low-grade sense of fatigue or psychic baggage. Things have just felt a bit harder, lonelier, or more emotional, and you might have craved more privacy than your social sign normally does. On September 14th, Pluto powers forward into direct motion, helping you identify emotional blocks and work through them. Reconnect with your spiritual power through yoga, meditation, or any way you prefer to practice a faith.

At the September 23rd Aries full moon, you’ve got something to say. As much as you’d like to couch your commentary in self-protective humor, the class-clown shtick is not your best M.O. This moon will square intense Pluto in your twelfth house of healing and buried emotions. Sarcastic or dismissive jokes are likely to land as barbed or accusatory. Better to sort things out with a therapist, your journal, or a wise friend before you confront someone or fire off a righteous missive. Heed the saying: “The best letter I ever wrote is the one I regret sending.” If you MUST put your feelings in ink, write an angry note and mail it to yourself.
