Week starting Sept. 4
Mid-month Venus (ying) and Mars (yang) leave the social graces of Libra and slip into deep and penetrating Scorpio — things heat up. Scorpio is dead serious in a mission to learn about others. There’s no fluff or chatter for Scorpios either; these folks will zero in on the essential questions and glean the secrets that lie within.
We are all dealing with the aftermath of the Saturn square Pluto that occurred in mid-August. The last time this sort of energy emerged was from Summer of 2001 through the Summer of 2002 – what sort of challenges were you undergoing during that time period? It was a landmark time for the United States when national conditions shifted dramatically following the 9/11 tragedy. We will continue to sift through our personal transformations for months to come.
The Sun now resides in service-oriented and humble Virgo. The energy of Virgo represents health, factual analysis, discriminating thought process and introversion. It is a mutable sign that indicates a passive flexibility.
Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, begins moving direct on the 14th. When it is well-positioned in the chart, Pluto represents beginning anew, far-reaching creative power, the ability to handle crises, your ability to assimilate change, sexual expression and passion. Pluto is also a “big money” planet and is a strong indicator of market conditions and global finance.
The communicator, Mercury, begins to inch forward on the 12th, but wait till the end of the month for the planet to begin working at its optimal speed. We continue to revisit and reorganize throughout the month.
The New Moon falls in Virgo on the 8th and the Full Moon shines on Aries on the 23rd.
ARIES: The gift of planning, rest and revising personal goals revisits you through the Spring of 2011. Mars, your ruler, leaves your partnership house and visits the area of debt, loans, other people’s resources (both financially and emotionally) and sexuality. There are endings to complete and new beginnings to initiate — “something” needs to fall away. Mars trines Neptune on the 18th, a day of divine inspiration. Friendships and groups provide healing and support. The New Moon is a powerful time to initiate new work routines and to focus on health matters. Your personality and self-expression is highlighted on the Full Moon.
TAURUS: Leisure time, socializing and creativity should be taken advantage of the first half of the month. Mid-month the energy then shifts to partners and dealing with the public when your ruling planet Venus visits your 7th house of “others.” Expect partnerships to be both filled with energy and loving. Innovation and unexpected occurrences may catch you by pleasant surprise around the 8th. Fresh energy flows into your creative projects on the New Moon. Quiet, contemplative time may be yours on the Full Moon.
GEMINI: Fun and leisure activities are on tap the first two weeks, then work and employees take center stage mid-month. Your ruling planet Mercury begins to take baby steps forward on the 12th, but prudence is yours if you wait until the end of the month for life’s flow to really pick up. Kick back and have some fun in the interim. Sensitive news may come your way on the 26th when Mercury opposes Chiron. This may require a gentle hand and a healthy dose of confidentiality. The New Moon affects new projects around the home or with parents. The Full Moon focuses on friendships and group affiliations.
CANCER: Your love life will pick up mid-month when the romantic duo Mars and Venus enter your 5th house of love affairs, fun and games, and creativity. If single, expect some major action on the dating front. All partnerships (professional and personal) will continue to transform and challenge you as Pluto moves forward in your house of “others.” Travel may hold a delightful surprise for you when Jupiter conjuncts Uranus mid-month. New communication avenues may open on the New Moon. Career and authority figures are center state on the Full Moon.
LEO: Your ruler, the Sun, travels through the area of monetary resources and self-esteem…all are receiving a re-think as Mercury travels backwards in the very same area. Money is a tool that represents what you “value.” Your home is an area of action and pleasantness when Venus and Mars move in mid-month and your family and those you live with become the focus. Your partner may receive a very pleasant financial surprise. Get into planning mode with the New Moon affecting earned income and wait to act upon decisions until the end of the month. Visitors and travel are in the limelight at the Full Moon.
VIRGO: Happy Solar New Year, Virgo! You’re feeling both energized and perhaps a bit hesitant…good, follow your instincts and know that next month will be the time to act upon your personal goals and objectives. Your mental processing and communications become untangled come month’s end and now is not the time for major decision-making. Extra money is coming in, make an effort to hold onto it as Mars can see it just as quickly go out the door in the way of extra expenses. Your partner holds more surprises up his or her sleeve, but for the past few years you’ve become used to it! You have your own personal New Moon this month, and the Full Moon shines on shared resources and loans.
LIBRA: Some personal timeout is required as the Sun moves through your 12th house of rest and regeneration. You are re-thinking and putting to rest old fears and limitations. You are finishing up a three-year cycle that has tested your belief in self and your purpose in life – whew! You are starting to emerge from this process with a stronger inner resolve and with a renewed commitment to self. Earned income takes center stage mid-month when your ruling planet Venus (as well as Mars) highlights the money you earn. You just may start receiving your just rewards as others are starting to recognize your value. Relaxation is on the agenda at the New Moon. Partnerships are highlighted when the Moon grows full.
SCORPIO: Friendships are highlighted while the Sun traverses Virgo. The focus is on self when Venus and Mars enter your sign mid-month. Your energy increases as well as your allure. Romantic surprises are on tap, and you enjoy the stimulation that others provide. Home and family fill your days with healing and inspiration. As your ruling planet moves forward, your earning power should experience some favorable progress. Friendships are motivating at the New Moon. Work or health matters are areas of attention on the Full Moon.
SAGITTARIUS: Jupiter connects with Uranus once again in the area ruling your home, parents and those you live with – expect the unexpected and most probably it should be a positive experience. Your love-life and creativity slow down and allow you to ponder the changes you seek to make until this Spring. Your career is the focus while the Sun moves through Virgo. Behind the scenes romantic situations may increase in importance while Venus and Mars move through the private sector of your horoscope. The New Moon kicks off a four-week period of career focus. Lust and desire knocks at your door during the Full Moon.
CAPRICORN: Heavyweight Pluto turns direct in your sign. You are undergoing a long-term transformation of your very being. Health needs to be monitored as does your mental and emotional output. Karmic happenings are part and parcel of your life experience. Building in consistent relaxation time each day is paramount to your well-being. Time spent with friends this month is both energizing and pleasant. Innovative conversations take place mid-month. Travel, publishing or teaching may be in the picture at the New Moon. Home and family is in focus at the Full Moon.
AQUARIUS: Uranus kisses Jupiter mid-month to provide out-of-the-blue opportunities for making more moolah! Finances, loans, sexuality, shared resources and intimacy are all up for review this month. A life situation is also ending and you are adjusting to this change. Long-distance travel can be wonderful, especially if a lover is involved around the 18th. Be kind with yourself and others on the 26th when communications can be sensitive and painful. Fresh perspective is available on the New Moon. Important communications culminate on the Full Moon.
PISCES: Mars and Venus leave your partnership house and move into your 8th house. This suggests that some very personal situations are on the docket involving the resources you share with another, as well as energetically tackling issues surrounding debt, loans, taxes and endings.

The New Moon shows fresh initiatives in partnership and the Full Moon brings a money-earning matter into focus.
