Aries Horoscope for September 2020

This month represents a time of digging in and exploring your inner workings, Aries, as you concentrate on sorting out the puzzle of your existence. Its second week will see your ruler, Mars, move into retrograde motion in your sign, indicating your search for a better handle on where in the world you might be heading. Your intuition serves you well as a source of information. The Jungian process of Individuation, which seeks to uncover your missing pieces by an overt attempt to dive deep below your surface layers for greater truth and better balance, will be a good model now. Finances might fluctuate and relationships will alter, yet all this can be seen as an aid to furthering your own self-development. Although the challenges of your situation will not let up until after the end of the year, you can make your own reality within these trials by the strength of your intention for your life purpose; that is to say, the mission that you came into this lifetime to fulfill.
