What’s in Your Future?
Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21st): Emotions, in particular insecurities, may be running high at the beginning of the month, but while these emotions may be deep, they will be short-lived, fading by the end of the first week. Tension may be present in your personal relationships, which will be a theme for the same length of time. However, a positive during this time is that it is wise to review how you problem-solve because it is time to modernize. As the month continues, you may find the tension in your personal relationships continues, but some areas of your life clear up, such as your romantic relationships and good fortune. That good fortune may come your way towards the end of the month, but there will probably be a price paid for it. This price will be a forced transformation you may have to make to excel.
Taurus (Approx. April 21st to approx. May 21st): Are you an opportunist? If so, this is your time! If opportunities for growth and success have not come your way yet, they soon will. The theme of the first two weeks of September is physical manifestation, whether it is health, money, a career, or something equally grounded. Your romantic relationships may be challenged throughout the month, but this opens the gate to focus on what needs to be done in the workplace brought to the surface during this Mercury retrograde. These growth opportunities will continue for the whole month, as might the romantic challenges, so it would be wise to focus on what you can control rather than what you cannot. The difference between the beginning of the month and the latter is that the closer we get to October, the more opportunities in the workplace will be for growth rather than wrapping up outstanding work.
Gemini (Approx. May 21st to Summer Solstice): Challenges in the workplace, particularly how personal communications are involved, may be the dominant theme at the beginning of the month, so it is wise to address what comes up. Romantic relationships and creativity may be two themes that are strong and positive for the most part as the month begins. Challenges may also be present regarding your spirituality and how you process emotions, but this process is ongoing. As the month advances, you may see that the vibe in the air lightens up and changes for the better. The emphasis may be on personal relationships, specifically building or re-establishing them. Personal communication in the workplace may still be challenged, but the emphasis may now be on moving forward rather than revisiting old themes. Romance may be in the air towards the end of the month.
Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21st): There may be challenges when it comes to your personal relationships as September begins, and while this may be a theme for most of the month, you may also note that the rest of the first half of September rolls along nice and smoothly in general. There may be communication problems in the workplace, but these will be resolved relatively easily. Money and other resources may flow to you easily, and while your emotions may be out of whack around the first, this will fade quickly, only lasting a few days. As the month progresses, the workplace may become more challenging, and your emotions may get tenser as a reflection. Resources and money will continue to roll along nicely and smoothly, giving you what you need to take care of yourself, even though challenges abound until early October.
Leo (Approx. July 21st to approx. August 21st): People with strong Leo in their charts may find September 2023 begins with more challenges than blessings. Even though optimism is high, and individual connection with people is going well, the ship will soon right its course when Venus moves direct a few days into the month. This is a good time for healing, specifically as it concerns your relationship with others. As the month moves forward, you may discover that things drastically improve. Even though the same challenges have been there for a while that has to do with money, your personal resources, and how you manage them, you may see that now is a good time to enjoy the company of others. Now that Venus is direct, your creativity may be stronger, romantic relationships may clear up and improve, and this is a good time for networking, particularly in the name of justice or bringing things into balance in your life.
Virgo (Approx. August 21st to Autumnal Equinox): Happy birthday Virgos! Yes, I know many of you were born in August, but in modern times, September is your month, and your birthday gift from the multiverse is a nice, fat Mercury retrograde in your sign. Miscommunications, revisiting work situations, and maybe even health challenges may all be in the air as September begins. This is enhanced by the opposition to Saturn in Pisces, which may call on you to address your spiritual and emotional growth and maturity. When addressing, though, remember that Virgos can be overly critical anyway, so you may want to practice self-love. As the month continues, things get drastically better when Mercury directs. The latter part of the month is a good time to focus on your career and where you’re going. You may also find it wise to take another look at your resources because the potential for expansion is there.
Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21st): While you may have above-average energy levels, you may find that your ego, sense of being, and sense of self still need to be healed. The hidden key to unlock this is found in Pisces, but right now, you may be getting a backhanded boost from Venus retrograde in Leo. All of this tells us September is a good month to make the connections you want to make in your personal life. As the month moves forward, the energy changes for the better, and while the same internal issues are still there, your external life may take a turn for the better. Your creativity may be stronger than normal, and romance may be in the air, possibly resulting from a past flame. The last week of the month may bring out all sorts of emotions, but this will be short-lived.
Scorpio (Approx. October 21st to approx. November 21st): As September unfolds, you may find the challenges you have been dealing with having to do with money and blocked creativity continue, and this is not the time for expansion. Rather, this is a good time for reviewing and wrapping things up, particularly in the workplace. This may seem unrelated to your spiritual journey, but the two are intertwined. As the month matures, it is worth noting that romance and money through creative pursuits are still challenged but are now headed in the right direction. Your workplace communication is also clearer than normal, and the essence is this is based on forward motion rather than revisiting the past. It would still be wise to play things financially conservatively, but the last two weeks of the month is a good time to focus on what you need to do for yourself, and if you appear cold to others, well, that’s their issue, isn’t it?
Sagittarius (Approx. November 21st to Winter Solstice): Where to begin? September 2023 begins with a lot of challenges around you. These include, but are not limited to, personal communication in the workplace, emotions, spirituality, pivoting on how you will achieve your goals, and facing your inner insecurities so you can see things are very challenging and intense right now. However, help is available to you through the people you know and how you use your creativity to handle your situation. As the month moves forward, though, the energy in the air clears dramatically, bringing many good opportunities and results into your life. Once the equinox arrives, you may find that your money through creative means starts flowing again, maybe better than anticipated. You may also find that romance becomes good. The emotional and spiritual wounds and situations are still there but are part of the initiatic process, so they will be around for a while. In short, September goes from highly challenging initially to very positive.
Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21st): As September rolls around, you may be dealing with a complex picture. Challenges may exist when it comes to personal communication and relationships, but a lot of this may have to do with your daily workplace, as the Mercury retrograde is coming along to encourage you to revisit past situations there. Your emotions may also be out of sorts as the month begins, and while this will be short-lived, the principles behind them will continue to exist after you deal with the immediate situations. As the month progresses, you may discover that more challenges come up that have to do with getting along with others, but now this may be occurring in your personal life, as your professional life is in a strong position for building towards the future. A major theme to assist you is emotional maturity because now is the time to handle your emotions in new and different ways.
Aquarius (Approx. January 21st to approx. February 21st): September begins with many challenges present, but these are nothing new. Rather, they are extensions of things unfolding for a while now. Tension may be present when it comes to money and your romantic life, and challenges may exist if you try to expand what you are doing because now is the time to play things financially conservative because random events may crop up. As the month progresses, you may find that your personal life, specifically friendships, rolls along nicely and smoothly, and now is a good time to indulge in the company of trusted companions. The challenges earlier in the month that have to do with money, romance, and expansion are all still present in the latter part of September, but there is less heaviness to them, and you may see a silver lining soon.
Pisces (Approx. February 21st to Spring Equinox): Tension in personal communication and your daily work routine may be present as September begins, so it would be wise to stay as emotionally detached as you can while taking care of business. Even though money and work may be lacking or off-kilter right now, the good news is that all of this is clearing out to embrace the expansiveness yet to come. As the month continues, less emphasis is put on your daily work life, even though communication may still be tense. Now, the emphasis is on growth, maturity, and maneuvering yourself into a position for growth in the physical world shortly. Emotional control and focusing on your overall direction in life may be the priority, so it would be wise to put your personal life on the back burner so that you can seize certain opportunities when they come up.
