September Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

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

The beat for personal evolution accelerates in the present month, Sagittarius. You are energized by your ongoing penetrating presence on the world stage � your work in the world � and actively seeking a more complete sense of mission in life that more closely reflects your true self. Service is your motto now and you are getting better and better about actualizing it. Your values are shifting as you wage your struggle for better internal connection with yourself and ultimately, therefore, with others. You may also be getting more adept at dealing with old patterns that arise to trip you up from the dark places that underlie your logical surface mentality. If such issues arise, they can be mitigated by a concerted effort of recognition and acceptance of these hidden layers of your psyche.

The month begins on a strong note for you, since the New Moon that kicks it off a few days before the actual 1st of the month takes place in your sector of career and professional endeavor. You are feeling the urge for more outer world presence in a big way right now, and also at the very same time, with Mercury still struggling to regain its lost zodiacal ground from the recent retrograde, partake in a bit of an introspective and thoughtful attitude. There is also a strong element of the mystical that pervades your thinking now as well, and that perhaps extends particularly to feelings of psychological connection, since Neptune is prominently placed and aspects your ruler Jupiter. With this mystical and more cosmic cast of mind factored into your awareness, one outcome is mere confusion and uncertainty. When the larger picture is invoked however, this confusion can yield to a faith in the process that the universe has in store for you, a process that you currently find yourself squarely in the midst of. The First Quarter Moon of Sunday, September 4th might represent a crucial moment of tension and the resolution of tension, a time of pause and of recognition. This is the part of the lunation cycle where you get to find out which of the impulses from the New Moon time is truly viable via its confrontation with the school of hard knocks. This is where some ideas survive and some do not, and you might encounter a collision between private concerns and the demands of profession or public service. The Full Moon a week later, taking place on Monday, September 12th, might represent a balance of these opposing forces. For this entire cycle, you are fully present for professional outreach and also showing up for others around you in a dedicated manner. At this moment, with Mercury coming through your career sector, you are taking a more thoughtful stance on what � in terms of future plans and for personal as well as professional assessment � this all adds up to. It this regard, it might be important to recognize that old patterns of behavior could be seen as a part of the equation. It makes a tremendous difference when you do what you do with a whole heart, coming from a place of the gift freely given, rather than from a need to make yourself indispensable to someone or to some abstract ideal. With the Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, September 20th, you are looking back over the preceding three weeks of the lunar cycle, making an assessment that you can carry forward into the future. It will be important for the following month and the changes that will be coming down that you have a clearer idea of where you have been and where you intend to go. Your life path is a work of art right now, but it is a work in progress. This week also includes the Fall Equinox, when new ideas come plentifully as you gather your energies for another huge month yet to come. This is kicked off by the New Moon taking place in the final week of the month, on Tuesday, September 27th. Your imagination is running wild these days, which can be a bit disconcerting, but your practical side is active too, serving as a constructive counter-balance.
