Forecast for Sept. 8-21
By Cortney Litwin / Staff Writer
A jarring but illuminating Mercury-Uranus opposition on the 8th-9th messes with travel, communications and logic-enlightenment through chaos, perhaps?
Terrific for brainstorming, with brilliant (but possibly impractical) results. Just as powerful is Pluto’s collision with the sun-Mercury merger on the 13th-16th, a time for restructuring, but watch out for extremism. The full moon in Pisces on the 17th adds some illusion and imagination to the mix. As for romance, a relationship reality check through Venus and Saturn on the 17th-18th is coupled with an urge for change and freedom from Uranus.
Confused? Let’s just say that transformation through rebellion and upheaval in love, business and politics may rule the first part of September.
If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that also.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Improving your health is a good thing-if you avoid crash diets or other weird dietary regimens. The full moon also emphasizes getting healthy. As for romance, cooperation resumes after the 20th; the same goes for business associates.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Intensity in your romantic sector, along with your Venus ruler in passionate Scorpio beginning Sept 11, intensifies one-on-one trysts. Emotional earthquakes may rattle you a bit. The full moon heightens love and friendship interactions.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Clobbered by chaotic Uranus and controlling Pluto, your Mercury ruler may disintegrate your focus and turn your plans to dust. The full moon just exacerbates the madness; best to stay flexible and ride out the cosmic currents.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
The full moon increases your intuitive powers, which may give you some startling insights. Romance deepens after the 11th. And wobbly finances may be stretched because of a home project or repair around the 18th.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Expressing yourself takes a weird direction around the 9th, when extra clarity is needed. Family activities bring pleasure after the 11th, except for a possible snafu around the 18th. The full moon highlights intimate interactions.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
The full moon is emotionally charged and includes a dose of personal reevaluation. The urge to make a significant change may center on a family endeavor; wait until after the 21st to act, when you’ll feel more balanced.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
The full moon says it’s time to act upon the exercise and diet promises you’ve made to yourself. Romance feels constrained around the 18th, but a surprising insight or turn of events can rejuvenate your relationship.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Communications around the 18th trigger your control issues; introspection is the surest route to regaining your equilibrium. Romance is energized after the 8th and especially during the full moon-if you communicate-carefully.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Home activities are energized during the full moon, but a miscommunication around the 9th or 18th may challenge you; like your Scorpio neighbor, speak carefully. Friends and group activities bring delight after the 20th.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Crazy-making communications, possibly from afar, may challenge you during the full moon. A bump in the road to romance occurs around the 18th, but a clarifying talk with your sweetie can get love quickly back on track.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The urge to rebel against real or imagined restrictions may overtake you around the 9th; check your facts. Honesty (about freedom versus commitment?) is needed during a temporary tussle with your sweetie around the 18th.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
A conflict with a romantic or business partner, possibly over your career, may challenge you around the 15th. As for love, you have the insight to untangle a romantic snafu that can occur around the 18th; use your intuition.
