One is the loneliest number, so they say, so it’s lucky for you this month is focused on two. Granted, it may not be the easiest partnership, as there’s a difficult new moon on the 5th in your 7th house of partnerships. The new moon is opposed to Uranus in your own sign and squaring Pluto in your house of career. There seems to be a war going on between the needs of your partner and your career. You may be finding your personal and work demands are interfering with each other, or perhaps a business partner that once seemed solid is turning out to be a pain in your butt. These are tough aspects, and because you’re a cardinal sign, you’re in the thick of it. It bears mentioning you’re an old hat at this by now. Uranus has been tearing through your identity house since 2011, bringing lots of changes as you constantly re-invent yourself. Pluto has been transforming your career sector since 2008, making you push yourself there as well. Since June 2012, those planets have been tangled up in the same degrees, causing even more tension in these areas. The 10th house also rules your marriage sector, so you may have broken free of a marriage, or perhaps committed yourself to one. Better settle in with some popcorn, cause this show is sticking around until 2015. Although changes can be stressful, they are necessary for growth. Sure, it’s easy to stay at the same job and have the same weekend routine for 20 years, but is that really the life you want? You’re an Aries- a fire sign full of passion and energy- so I seriously doubt it. In fact, I think out of all the signs of the zodiac, you’re the most equipped to handle the Uranus/Pluto square. When life gets difficult, Aries doesn’t hide under the covers. Aries tackles a challenge head on- BRING IT ON WORLD- and comes out even stronger because of it. So keep that in mind if the waters get a little rough this month, especially if you’re an Aries at 11.5 degrees or born around April 5th. Specifically, watch out for October 13th, when the Sun in your partnership sector will square Neptune in your 12th house of closure. A secret may come out on this day or a partner may need you by their side. Venus moves into your 9th house on the 8th, indicating that a luxurious or romantic trip might be on the agenda. Usually this aspect is lovely, but unfortunately Mercury is going to try to spoil your fun. Mercury goes retrograde on the 21st, making for delays and breakdowns. Mercury rules your 3rd house of transportation, so you can see how this could mess up any travel plans. If you must travel, try to do so before the 21st. A great day would be the 17th- although it’s still a little closer to retrograde than I would like, Venus in your travel house will trine Uranus in your house this day, giving you divine aspects. Publishing projects or foreign clients will also prove beneficial on this day. Watch out for Oct 10th, when Venus will square Neptune in your 12th and something involving foreigners or publishing could go wrong. Mercury also rules your 6th house of work and health, so its retrograde may cause you to go back and review any issues in these areas as well. Saturn has been making its way through your 8th house of other people’s money since October 2012. You could be dealing with tax or credit card issues, or maybe money is just tight. Alternatively, you could be digging deep into your psyche or finding yourself going through a transformation of some kind. Mercury conjuncts Saturn in this sector twice this month- on the 8th and 30th- and again next month on November 26th. Health, communication, or transportation issues might hit a snag on these days, or you could have trouble with a client at work. Work seems to be a big emphasis for you this month, as your ruler Mars, moves into Virgo on the 16th. Last month’s friendly new moon may have seen you get a new job or work assignment, and with it, possibly a new housing situation. Mars ensures the work keeps coming all month and into next. On Halloween, Mars will trine Pluto in your house of career, so you’re sure to have some good news in this realm on this day. Your identity comes up for close inspection around October 18th, when an eclipse falls in your sign at 26 degrees. Luckily, this is a pretty easy eclipse. Something important to you will culminate, especially if you were born on this day.

Money makes the world go around, the world go around, the world go around. This month is all about the benjamins for you, though it’s hard to say if it will be going in or coming out. After a little ebb and flow each way, I think you’ll come out on top. Did something close to your heart come to a head last month? The beginning of this month might put on the finishing touches. On Oct 3, Mercury in your 9th house of travel and publishing will trine your ruler Neptune in your own sign. If you are writing a novel or screenplay, these are excellent aspects, filling you with creativity and passion. Unfortunately, just after that, the Sun in your 8th house of other people’s money will oppose Uranus in your income house, and square Pluto in your house of hopes and dreams.  The money you were counting on might not come through so you may have to put up a fight for it. The 11th house also rules friendships, so a friend who had promised to help you secure funding might be dropping the ball. Alternatively, you may be going through some kind of financial transformation. Because of these harsh angles, positive developments aren’t favored, but luckily, the lunar eclipse in your income house on the 18th is a friendly one. It falls at 26 degrees Aries, so late-born Pisces have the edge on this one. If you have any planet or point at 26 degrees Aries in your natal chart, it will offer clues as to where this eclipse will hit you. You can also look for any planets at 26 degrees of Libra, Capricorn, or Cancer- these signs are on the cardinal axis along with Aries, so they may be activated on the eclipse. Once Venus moves into Sagittarius on the 8th, you’ll have an edge in career matters. Watch out for the 10th, when Venus squares your ruler Neptune in your sign. You may hit a snag in a career matter. Luckily, a good career day will come on the 17th, when Venus will trine Uranus in your 2nd house, and you may get a bonus or raise. This is great news, especially since it comes the day before the lunar eclipse in this same income house. Mars moves into your 7th house of partnerships on the 16th, putting the emphasis on a partner (whether in business or pleasure). You may feel at the mercy of another’s whims or opinions, or you may find yourself having problems asserting yourself. As a Pisces, you’re probably used to this. On the 20th, Mars will oppose your ruler Neptune in your sign, and relationship matters may be fuzzy. Mars is the aggressor, while Neptune is soft and compassionate, so you may find yourself stuck in the mud on this day with someone close to you. Mercury spends the month in your house of travel, and will conjunct Saturn on the 8th and 30th. Mercury rules your 4th and 7th houses, so matters relating to home or partnerships may turn serious on these days. On top of that, Mercury goes retrograde on the 21st, causing all kinds of delays and breakdowns. If you’re traveling, make sure you know exactly where your passports and paperwork are at all times, and plan for any contingencies. If you’re working on a publishing or broadcasting project, you may have to go back and re-do your work. Changes may take place within your home or partnership, but all should be straightened out again by November 12th, when Mercury goes direct. You’ll have to deal with Mercury hitting Saturn one more time however, on November 26th. Saturn has been in your 9th house since October 2012, a rather easy position compared to the 8th, where it previously spent 2 1/2 years. You might be doing a deep dive into a course of study, or perhaps learning a religion or meditation practice. If either of these paths include writing or speaking, the Mercury-Saturn conjunction will bring things to a head. Saturn is the planet of limitation and hardships, but can also indicate stability and long-lasting effects, so you’ll have to wait to see how it affects you. On the 26th, the Sun in this same house of travel will trine your ruler Neptune in Pisces, so you should hear good news on this day. On the 31st, Mars in your house of partnerships will trine Pluto in your house of hopes and dreams/friendships. You may start a business with a friend, or perhaps your significant other will be instrumental in a long-held dream. Just keep an eye on your finances, as the Uranus/Pluto square will be exact on this day, and will continue into November (and through 2015). Pisces is known for having her head in the clouds, and also for not caring about material possessions. Your artistic ability and compassion are some of the most endearing traits your sign possesses, but the Universe is pushing you to take your dreams and turn them into a reality, perhaps making a little money in the process.

September 2013 Horoscopes- Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius

Virgo 

Happy birthday virgin, it’s your time to shine! A new moon in your sign on the 5th is beautifully angled to Jupiter in your house of hopes and dreams, suggesting that any  ventures you begin will benefit you for a long time to come. This is extra true if your birthday (or a planet in your natal chart) falls between 8 and 18 degrees of Virgo. Your ruler, Mercury, moves into your second house of income on the 10th, giving you an edge in all matters relating to finances. Be careful on the 9th, when Mars in your 12th house of secrets squares saturn in your 3rd house of communication. You might say something you don’t mean (or do mean, but regret saying). Another day to watch out for is the 16th, when your ruler Mercury in the 2nd squares Uranus in your 8th house and Pluto in your 5th. Love and money won’t mix, and Mars in the mix in your 12th suggests a secret (yours or your lover’s) will be exposed. A full moon in Pisces on the 19th brings your partner front and center. You might make it official or break it off, but with Mars in the 12th just make sure you’re not in a toxic relationship! With Pluto going direct on the 21st, love matters will definitely become more clear. One more day to look out for is the 20th, when your ruler Mercury squares Jupiter in the 11th house. If you lent money to a friend, don’t expect it back. As my dad always says, never lend out anything you can’t live without, because you probably won’t get it back (he has a Scorpio moon, can you tell?) Luckily, the month ends on a high note, with Venus in your 3rd house (Scorpio) beaming lovingly at Jupiter in your 11th. You might get a new car, hear wonderful news about a sibling, sign a contract, or perhaps just take a romantic trip out of town. Sounds like a good time to me!

Libra

Rest. It’s a good thing. A new moon on the 5th in your 12th house means that this month may see you laying a little low. Read a book, take a bath, and drink some wine. You have cosmic permission to recuperate and retreat. Because this new moon is so beautifully angled to Jupiter in your 10th house, Libras in a creative profession have a great edge. This would be a great time to finally write that novel you’ve been thinking about. You may not feel like anyone thinks you’re anything special right now, but trust me- important people are watching you and your time will come soon- perhaps even next month! Your ruler, Venus, moves into your 2nd house on the 12th, suggesting now’s a good time to focus on your earning power. Time for a new job? A full moon in your 6th house of work on the 19th might make this a real possibility. Just keep an eye on your health, as you may feel run down around this time. Mars moves through your house of friendship all month and squares Saturn in your income house on the 9th. Money matters might be discouraging at this time (what’s new), but by the end of the month (9/26) your ruler in the 2nd will smile at Jupiter in the 10th, suggesting that you’ll finally get the money and title you deserve. I’m not gonna lie- mid month will be tough for home and partnership matters. On 9/16, Mercury in your sign will oppose Uranus in your partnership house and form a t-square with pluto in your house of home. Yikes. Mars will be fanning the flames from the sidelines like a drunk asshole at a football game. Remember that whole book/wine/bath advice? Yeah, this is a good day for that.

Scorpio

A new moon on the 5th ushers in a fun-filled month of social gatherings. Been planning a trip? This moon is wonderfully angled to Jupiter in your 9th, making it a prime time to travel with friends. Applying to the college or grad school or your dreams? Do it now and make the most out of these gorgeous aspects! On the 9th, Mars in your house of career squares Saturn in your sign. Things may not go according to plan on the work front. Adding to the work stress is the t-sqaure mid month (9/16), when your ruler Pluto in the 3rd will t-square Mercury in your 12th and Uranus in your 6th house. Yikes! Communication with co-workers will be stressful and you might feel like you’re underperforming. Luckily, your ruler, Pluto, goes direct on the 21st, and any slowdowns you’ve been experiencing should speed on up. Also, on the 14th, Venus in your sign will trine Neptune in your house of true love, making love matters melt any work worries away. Even better- the full moon on the 19th in your house of true love crystallizes a matter close to your heart! Is an engagement on the way? Venus will conjunct Saturn in your sign, and sextile your ruler, suggesting this is a  real possibility. Enjoy!

Sagittarius

Look at you, big shot! A new moon on the 5th might see you get that long-deserved promotion or perhaps at least some fancy press. Jupiter, your ruler, in your house of other people’s money, tells me you’ll get a nice big fat bonus to go with it. Things might get busy, as mars in your 9th will bring lots of travel. Be careful on 9/9, when mars squares Saturn in your 12th house of secrets. Something could go wrong on a trip. Additionally, mid-month could get a little tricky on the friendship and love front, as mercury and uranus oppose each other and square pluto in your house of income. Luckily, you aren’t in the direct line of fire so you may escape unscathed. Be sure to lend a shoulder to cry on for your not so lucky zodiac pals- Aries, Caps, and Libras, and to a lesser extent Cancers and Leos will feel the heat from this one. On the 20th, friendship and money don’t mix, as mercury in your house of friendship will square your ruler in the 8th. Alternatively, a friendship might go through a radical transformation. A full moon on the 19th will bring a home related matter to conclusion. Are you buying a bigger, better house with your newfound wealth? With Venus in your 12th house trining Neptune in your house of home earlier this month, you may be bidding a bittersweet goodbye to a beloved house. It can be hard to let go of the past, but it’s all for the best. Pluto goes direct on the 21st in your house of income, making money money matters more straightforward.
