We begin the month of September with Uranus going retrograde in Taurus on Sunday, September 1st. Taurus represents our values and financial security. Unexpected expenses may impact us economically. Changes in our work and spending habits are likely to occur for the rest of the year.
Pluto retrogrades back into the sign of Capricorn also on September 1st. A more conservative approach to business and investments is recommended until Pluto re-enters Aquarius on November 19th.
A New Moon occurs in Virgo on Monday, September 2nd. This is also Labor Day. New ways of approaching our work, service and health related needs will help us reduce expenses and focus on what is most essential.
Mars enters the sign of Cancer on Wednesday, September 4th. Cancer represents our emotional need for a secure home and family support system. Taking positive action to improve our home and family relationships is highlighted at this time.

A First Quarter Phase Moon occurs in Sagittarius on Wednesday, September 11th. This date marks an important anniversary in the challenges to our personal and collective freedom.
Venus continues its transit in the sign of Libra and reminds us that we are not alone. We benefit by learning how to relate and share with others in ways that stimulate mutual value.
A Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse occurs in the sign of Pisces on Tuesday, September 17th. This eclipse represents a six month emotional cycle of trusting, surrendering and strengthening our faith.

This fact suggests that we benefit by letting go of our desire to manage and control our life experience and allow our intuition and a “higher power” to guide us in our everyday actions and decisions.
