September Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Sagittarius Horoscope (November 22 - December 21)
Mutable Fire. Your ruling planet is Jupiter.

It's an exciting time to be alive, Sagittarius, although it might also be something of a conundrum where and how to put your energy to the best advantage. This month you are feeling career pressure as you have for weeks now, and have the decision to make of whether to continue to plunge full-force into your outer world presentation or to take a softer and more studied approach relating more to private than to public life. Steering between these choices will prove the most rewarding. Since other points of view are welcome additions to your own right now, communication is the name of your game as you deal with these and other issues.

As the month begins, you find yourself entering into a new way of seeing and thinking about the world around you. Communication is spiritual and special right now, and may reveal cracks in your armor. If you choose to utilize these sorts of glitches to your ultimate benefit, you can make progress on a variety of issues that might have been holding you back from more whole-hearted participation in life, so that there is a plus side that should not be overlooked. This month is a time of particular interest, since the planets are conspiring to provide us with some much-needed lessons. The Full Moon that comes along on Friday, September 4th, leads you into a two-week period of time that is crucially significant. You are mediating between concerns of public and private, and also of letting go and holding on. Perhaps you feel stuck with too much work and are looking for a wild way to free yourself from the inside out. Or you could be feeling the instability of too much freedom and seeking a more practical and grounded sense of mission, or many other variations including one that could be labeled "all of the above." When Mercury retrogrades two days after the Full Moon in your sector of societal connection you will be considering all these possibilities as you mull over your choices. The retrograde period, which lasts through the end of the month and even into October, is great for reflection and rethinking, or even redefining, your situation, not so good for forging ahead with new plans. The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, September 11th represents a moment of tension in your process, a time of renewed contrast between work that conservatively holds your position versus more innovative approaches. Your communication at this time is enhanced and enthusiastic, and may serve to connect you with the necessary viewpoints of others around you. One week later, when the New Moon comes along, on Friday, September 18th, it brings in fresh energy with it and also more hard work, as your choices become starker and perhaps more highly conflicted. On the other hand you have a better chance to concretely realize important goals. Over the next two weeks, as you begin to work out the impulse from this important mid-month period, it pays also to remember that Mercury is still retrograde, so that entirely new directions are contraindicated. It is best not to push the river at this time, but to watch and wait, preferring to reflect and research and to delay radical departures until well into October.
