Forecast for Sept. 10-23
By Cortney Litwin / Staff Writer
The transformative Saturn-Uranus opposition that sent shock waves through financial markets in November 2008 and March 2009, comes back for an encore this month-and beyond. It can propel you out of a rut on a personal level, and launch health care and economic reform on a national level. Pluto turning direct on the 11th assists in both areas. In the meantime, the new moon in Virgo on the 18th brings new energy to activities related to work, health and service. The sun entering Libra on the 22nd ushers in the autumnal equinox. Venus opposing Jupiter on the 11th and Neptune on the 15th heighten both optimism and unrealistic expectations in relationships. And passion sizzles during the Venus-Pluto trine on the 20th.
