ARIES March 21 – April 19
You make carefully thought out decisions this month which will affect your future for a number of years to come. No impulsiveness here: You’re acting on a combination of common sense, logical necessity, and clearly defined ambitions. Lots of support from lovers and partners, so don’t hold back – especially if there is a nice romantic vibe in the wind.
There seems to be a lot of money changing hands at various times during the month, so I suspect you might be buying or selling something of significant importance. This ties in with legal contracts and documents and everything to do with banks, banking and insurance companies. The 24th ‘til the 28th is the optimum time to commit yourself to new ideas and business projects, and also perhaps for taking on more financial responsibilities.
TAURUS April 20 – May 20
Ummm… A funny month and I don’t mean funny ‘haha.’
You’ll be torn between acting with responsibility and restraint or just saying ‘sod it’ before pushing the boat out and behaving like a spoilt kid having a tantrum. Relationships and finances are okay, so there are other factors here causing an inner turmoil of anger and frustration. Some older members of the sign will resent the onset of encroaching old age and anyone with a health problem will feel like they’re being led around in circles because of conflicting advice – medical or otherwise. A big chunk of money is being spent towards the very end of the month, but this is for a specific purpose, and you will have budgeted for it… The decision to actually spend this money may have cost you a few sleepless nights, but I am confident you will have made the right decision.
GEMINI May 21 – June 20
Geminis have the wonderful ability to see both sides of an argument, and as such, you’ll be drawn into the role of Agony Aunt or counsellor. You can serve other people very well at this time, providing you maintain your objectivity and are totally honest in expressing your advice and opinions. Other people might not like what they hear – but they do need to hear it.
There is some continuing improvement in all family relationships but you’ll find yourself wishing that other people were as honest with you as you are trying to be with them. Domestic DIY schemes and home improvement projects should have reached a satisfactory conclusion by this time, but I dare say you’ve still got a load of stuff that you need to get rid of. The 21st through to the 28th is a very good time for making some extra money, but you do need to be ruthless about what you keep and what you sell.
CANCER June 21 – July 22
My old granny said you can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs, and this may be an egg-breaking few weeks for you – especially when dealing with all family matters. Divided loyalties will get in the way of common sense, especially around the 15th, 16th and 17th, and this is when you’ll be challenged to be really honest with yourself about what your own priorities might be…
…And that could cause some frustration and confusion, because while many Cancerians know what they don’t want, they are not entirely sure about what it is that they do want, except that it’s got to be something different to what they already have.
On a different note, links and contacts with people and places overseas become more relevant as the month progresses, which could lead to travel plans being made which will involve reunions… most of which you will welcome, but one of which you will not.
LEO July 23 – August 22
September is a slow month for Leos, but perhaps this serves you well if it gives you time to tidy up a few loose ends from the summer and actually start making some firm plans for your future. Some conflict on the work scene around the 15th or 16th but you will get the better of a critic or an adversary. Light-hearted romantic aspects are okay, heavy commitments are not… This could put you in a difficult position if someone is looking for a greater degree of commitment from you than they are getting at the moment. It is not the first time you will have been in this position, but this time around, try handling it just a little bit differently.
A possible dip in finances will cause some concern during the middle of the month, but you should be back on an even keel by the month’s end, even if you have to rob Peter to pay Paul.
VIRGO August 23 – September 22
Quite a brisk (and sometimes tense) month where careers and businesses are concerned and you’ll be under pressure to hit specific targets. You may be tempted to stand back and allow things to sort themselves out in their own time, but this is not a good idea at all, and you need to keep the pedal to the metal. A friend or close colleague may resent your occasional bossiness, but they’ll be damned thankful they did as they were told (even if told gently) when the goose starts laying the occasional golden egg. No matter what your job or occupation might be, this is a time for making your voice heard… and it is also a time to remember certain promises and commitments you have made earlier in the summer, and make sure you stick to them while making sure that other people stick to their promises as well. A big bill to pay towards month’s end, so make a point of budgeting for this beforehand.
LIBRA September 23 – October 22
Although this is going to be a very busy month both on the work scene and in all social aspects, you’ll be spending quite a lot of time looking forwards to a specific date(s) in your diary with a feeling of impatience. Just make a point of dealing with issues as they arise and don’t wish your time away. There may be better times ahead, but the time you’re living through now should be savoured and appreciated.
It is also a month of breaks and shakes… breaks for the ladies when a secret admirer makes himself known (14th 15th 16th) and there is a brilliant job opportunity knocking on their door around the 23rd 24th or 25th… Shakes for the guys when their emotional self-confidence takes a bit of a battering between the 12th and 16th and new work routines are imposed on them towards the very end of the month. Nevertheless, all will survive, even if some will be glad to get out of September and into October.
SCORPIO October 23 – November 21
If you are Juliet looking for her Romeo (or vice versa), September could be slightly confusing and disappointing, but if you’re prepared to settle for some light-hearted liaisons with a sparkle of romance and adventure, then the next few weeks have a lot to offer. Some interesting travel aspects mid-month (especially at weekends) and money spent on self-image creates self-confidence.
Those travel plans I’ve just mentioned may need to be changed at the last minute around the 6th to the 12th when someone close to you goes back on a promise or commitment, causing a justifiable degree of frustration. Not much you can do about this other than rescheduling or saying sod it and doing whatever you were planning to do on your own rather than in their company. This latter option is a good idea if it makes a point and teaches other people to treat you with greater respect.
SAGITTARIUS November 22 – December 21
In some ways rather a nostalgic month when you look back at times gone by and wonder where they went. This mood is enhanced by a journey that takes you back to a familiar place, both geographically but also in time. Family aspects are very strong throughout the month and there are some lovely feelings of camaraderie and family unity. The problem comes if those nice feelings of nostalgia turn into maudlin sentiment and you start pining for the past.
Parents should be pleased with the progress of their children, but in some cases, where those children are no longer children, you must accept that they have grown up and no longer need you the way they once did. Intellectually you will not have a problem with this – but emotionally? Ah, well, that’s a different story!
CAPRICORN December 22 – January 19
Quite a lot of pressure on the work scene but at least you will feel as though you are achieving something and getting somewhere. If there is an argument within a relationship on the subject of financial priorities, if you are the principal breadwinner, you must make your voice heard, and be prepared to make the final decisions regarding how much gets spent on what. On the subject of money, there is probably more going out than there is coming in during this September month, but you seem to be spending wisely and sticking within pre-determined budgets. As such, the old cliché of ‘speculating to accumulate’ comes to mind: having said that, you will be looking at your long term financial future and after some protracted discussions (and possibly the odd argument) you will tentatively make some plans which connect with pension schemes, insurance policies, mortgages and other investments.
AQUARIUS January 20 – February 18
September is a month of new ideas, and dare I say some controversial and potentially dangerous ideas… Therefore, make a point of thinking things through very carefully, get the advice and opinions of other people, and avoid the temptation to be impatient or impulsive. Travel aspects bode well for September but are confined to the UK rather than anything which takes you overseas.
Family affairs (especially complicated family affairs) should begin to sort themselves out, but you need to exercise patience and tact. If you are critical of other people and their ideas and priorities, this is probably not the right time to voice your objections.
Things are probably not perfect on the work scene, but at least there is a degree of security and stability. Nevertheless, you’ll be reviewing your long term options and putting plans in place which are very time-sensitive. You might not be able to do what you want to do right now, but you do look at some long term dates when things can become possible.
PISCES February 19 – March 20
Male Piscesians pick up a few bruises in any kind of emotional conflict, whereas oddly and paradoxically it is female Piscesians who are delivering a few kicks and bruises against other people who are either trying to dominate or restrict them in any way. Maybe all members of the sign, regardless of age or sex, should do more to tune into the needs of others… which is easier said than done, especially if historically those ‘others’ have been a bit lax in tuning in to your needs! In a way, then, September could well be a month during which the worm begins to turn! You’ll not be going out of your way looking for revenge or retribution, but you will be making it very clear that whatever happens or is happening, will be much more on your own terms than has been the case in times gone by, and if other people don’t like it they can jolly well lump it. September is a period for exorcising a lot of old ghosts and you’ll feel a helluva sight more calm and content once they’re gone.
