A planetary entanglement of expansive Jupiter, idealistic Neptune and romantic Venus is further complicated by a clash between aggressive Mars and do-or-die Pluto, all around Sept 19-24. Not going off the deep end about relationships, religion, mechanical problems or substance abuse will be the challenge. The Full Moon on the 21st, influenced by Saturn, will cause emotional stress to escalate even further, so do whatever is necessary, spiritually, emotionally and mentally to stay balanced. As if this weren’t enough, retrograde Mercury Sept. 14 through Oct. 5 messes with communications, especially in partnerships and legalities. Sun in Libra beginning the 22nd will help with diplomacy and relationships.
If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that also.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Keep a cool head when your Mars ruler collides with power-hungry Pluto next week, causing a clash with someone over a legal or work matter. The Full Moon will bring hidden dealings out into the open to be resolved.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Your Venus ruler is caught in the opposition between hedonistic Jupiter and unrealistic Neptune next week, so keep romance in perspective and don’t be deceived by someone who promises more than they can deliver. Concentrate on your creativity.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Endeavors regarding children or a creative project planned during retrograde Mercury may have to be redone, so be extra clear with communications now. The Full Moon causes some stress between your home life and a career decision.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
The Full Moon is especially stressful with somber Saturn in the mix, so take time out from work or family struggles and do something good for yourself around the 21st. Clarity in communications with family members may be the key.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You may feel like a caged lion next week with the Saturnine Full Moon, so take that urge to break free of restraints and channel it into an ongoing creative project. The Sun transiting into Libra on the 22nd should bring a resolution soon.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You’re being pulled in every direction by everyone else’s expectations. Ditch your natural reserve and tell them to stick it or you’ll end up a basket case. Self-centered Mars in Virgo will help you stand up for yourself.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
It’s essential to see relationships with a clear head when your Venus ruler takes on unrealistic Neptune and extravagant Jupiter next week. Your creativity, however, will bring you public acclaim. The Full Moon activates dreams and visions.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Don’t get caught up in the drama being played out when your Pluto ruler tries to conquer warmonger Mars around the 22nd and 23rd. Take a breath and let go of what you can’t control. The Full Moon increases creativity but may cause confusion in romance.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You’re flying in every direction without much success unless you harness the energy from your extravagant Jupiter ruler and concentrate on a realistic project and/or relationship. A family member needs your attention during the Full Moon.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
The chances of communication snafus at work are doubled during the Full Moon, so watch what you say and what you write. You may be tempted to make a big investment, but you’ll do well to wait until what’s hidden is illuminated.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Money and friends don’t mix together well right now, so be careful of financial arrangements with people you’re close with. The Full Moon also activates financial issues and may cause stress with your romantic partner.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
As your dreamy Neptune ruler throws a haze over relationships next week, your expectations may become totally impractical-time for a reality check. The Full Moon heightens your personal charisma, with emotional instability along for the ride.
