July and August may have been exciting months for your career, and the theme will continue in September. This time, however, you won’t have to work in a formal way, by writing proposals at your computer, but rather, simply attend social gatherings and be on a mission to widen your circle of friends and contacts. Always bring business cards when you leave home, for the new faces that come to you now will be fascinating, successful people, and you may want to cultivate one or two of those new relationships, for one person you meet now may change the course of your career.
Next month Mercury will be retrograde from October 4 to October 26, and two eclipses will occur, one in Aries, October 8, and the other in Scorpio on October 23. With Mercury due to be out of phase in October, it will not be the right time to develop new territory or make a major launch; it’s a month to watch and wait. Your agenda, timetable, and priorities will change, and with new information and conditions due to surface as a result from the eclipses, you will need to adjust to a changing landscape. You will soon see that the shifts that are coming were necessary, and so even you - a sign that likes to keep things “as is” - will agree, “Change can be good.”
You have enjoyed having Mars in Scorpio, for Mars, one of your ruling planets, has put your interests first, and other signs have had to wait for their turn. Mars is the energy planet that you can harness to make a new venture or relationship a success. In August you were getting mixed messages from Mars, because Saturn was close to Mars, and Saturn was urging you to stop, look, and listen, and not move ahead too fast. This could have been frustrating to you. Mars imparts courage, drive, and energy, so it’s always a privilege to have Mars in your sign, and now Mars has orbited away from Saturn, so you are back in business. Ventures started at this time have a better than usual chance for success, if only because you would be willing to give your “all” with competitive Mars behind you. Mars will move into Sagittarius mid-month, so make your biggest initiations prior to September 13.
This month will not be all work and no play, for the full moon of September 8, influential for four days before and after this date, will likely bring on a lovely romantic interlude and one you may always remember. You may attend a very special party, wedding, or other celebratory event that will turn out to be quite bewitching, with candles, flowers, music, and fine food and wine for the well-dressed guests to enjoy. You may meet someone new at this event, or, if you are newly dating someone you are serious about, you may experience a very special romantic evening that has your heart beating double time.
If you are married, you may get results back that you are pregnant, or have special joy being together with your mate and children. If you feel you’d love to have a weekend away with your spouse, ask your mother or a friend to babysit, and have a “just us” private weekend for two.
At the new moon, September 24, you appear to be in a contemplative mood, and you will want more privacy. You are coming close to birthday month, and with an eclipse due in your sign, changes are likely to be in the wind, especially if your birthday falls near October 23. You’ll find next month to bring news that will require one or two adjustments, but it’s all for good. Take your chance to rest while you can, and be ready for the adventure that October will bring. This will be a superb new moon to tackle a habit you would like to delete for a healthier you. Because the new moon is in collaborative Libra, seek a coach or professional therapist to help you get ahead.
Hold on to your hat on September 25, when a sensational career opportunity will come up, quite out of the blue. News will make you so excited, you will want to dance on the tables. Your status is clearly on the rise, and soon nearly everyone in your industry will know your name. This day is a cosmic gift from Jupiter in perfect angle to Uranus, an aspect so special and rare that we have not seen it since January 2011. Make this day, September 25, even bigger by scheduling an important career move, such as an interview, presentation, product launch, or the opening of your own business. On a day this golden, the seeds you plant are likely to grow tall, just like the beans in the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale. Wow!
