General forecast for September:

Every year there are at least two pairs of Eclipses, one Lunar and One Solar. The second half of these pairs takes place in September this year (the first half was in March). Sept 7 th is the Lunar Eclipse at 15′ Pisces and on Sept 22 nd we have the Solar Eclipse at 29′ Virgo. Together Virgo and Pisces represent the archetypes of service and spirituality, as well as pets, employees, drugs, and many of our financial and business dealings – including (but not limited to) property matters. The most relevant world affairs affected by these eclipses are matters of oil, religion and overseas business dealings . In retrospect, the oil crises began to be an everyday problem for every American back in March when prices began to skyrocket – during the first pair of Eclipses. Eclipse events are usually triggered when a planet crosses that degree within a few months ahead of or after the actual Eclipse takes place. Secrecy and matters of public or hidden information, as well as war and money are the main themes of the month.

The Lunar Eclipse: Mars – the god of War - opposed (past tense) this Eclipse degree on August 16 th . Matters of war become unsettled, and previously hidden information or agendas are revealed – and acted upon. Mercury opposes this Eclipse degree on Sept 5 th . Whatever is in the news is the theme of the Eclipse and reveals the issues and problems that have been triggered by it. Venus crosses (opposes) this eclipse degree on the 18 th . The effects of the mid-August Mars action now have residual effects on finances, money and business – something suddenly appears in plain view that relates to commerce, finance and financial value. Health and service industries are likely to be effected.

The Solar Eclipse: This is one of the most relevant dates all year for the US. This Eclipse takes place on the United States Neptune (Oil, Churches, foreign affairs, Real Estate, Forex, Commodities, and the Federal Exchange). Mars joined this Eclipse degree on August 27 th . This could represent a newsworthy hidden or secret military action on or around the 27 th . At the very least, passive aggressive and secretly treacherous behavior is amplified in the world. On Sept. 12 th Mercury joins this degree. News and motion related to earlier events are on the airwaves. Look for what is hidden, and read between the lines. Venus joins the ACTUAL Solar Eclipse on the 22 nd . It is more than likely that the US will experience an event that affects our economy, real estate, foreign affairs and oil business. Obviously such events are the crises that release the energy that has been building for many years around these areas. The Chinese see Crises as Chaos joined with Opportunity. Be prepared – opportunity exists for some, problems for others. The differences are in how prepared we are for the unexpected.

Do you need help fighting depression?

Aries (3/21-4/20)– You are deeply involved with the drama unfolding this month. Not only are you in the center of it all, but you may have to do a great deal about it all. Secret actions are very possible – which is not your usual MO. By the end of the month, you may find yourself questioning your leader or leadership – this could be the sign that it is time for you to step up and take the reigns yourself. Yaaargh, I smell mutiny.
Taurus (4/21-5/21)– You’re not usually in the same boat as Aries, but you find yourself on their team this month. Not only that, but you can use your sway over financial matters to pull off the unexpected or upturn an apple cart full of rotten Granny Smith’s. That’s one apple pie, I’ll be glad to miss out on.

Gemini (5/22-6/22)– You might want to follow your Aries, Taurus, Scorpio and Libra friends around with a camera to capture all the action. Well, on second thought, you may need to follow everyone around to capture it all. Just keep your recording tools handy. There will be plenty to capture and people won’t believe it all without evidence.

Cancer (6/23-7/22)– This month, perhaps your Moods need a ‘League of their own’ – to make room for your deeply felt and held convictions. Convictions are interesting, they have a way of turning into a sentence if not examined frequently. The Universe is giving you the keys to commute your sentence and get out of your own convictions – even if change is uncomfortable, it creates freedom.

Leo (7/23-8/22)– Something or someone is so completely filled with emotion that you will just HAVE to listen to them. I hope so at least. Dismissing or ignoring apparently irrational people will only lead to violence – and I don’t think you want that. No matter how much you disagree with them, you’ve got to admire conviction and passion.

Virgo (8/23-9/22)—Partnerships are anything but smooth and routine now. Don’t expect anything to sail smoothly, as secrets are revealed and intrigue amplified. With more plot twists than a murder mystery dinner theatre; what’s really going on is anyone’s guess. I wouldn’t even count on the living room couch to be as it seems right now.

Libra (9/23-10/22)– “Let them eat Cake’ was Marie Antoinette’s famously flip remark when the French peasants rioted in the streets for food. There is something surreal going on this month that recalls the days of French excess that led to Marie’s famous moment. Are you Marie, King Luis XVI or the peasants who had their heads?

Scorpio (10/23-11/22)– What do our fantasies say about us? And what do our friend’s fantasies say about them? We can over-indulge in all matters, including our thoughts and fantasies. Decadence is most interesting when it is turned upside down – as it is this month. It’s like living in a Rorschach test.

Sagittarius (11/23-12/22)– Inshallah is an Arab saying that means ‘God willig.’ It is also the term used to describe Iraqi soldiers who shoot from the hip without training or aim. Of course you always want god to be willing and helpful and on your side, but a little skill is the insurance you can provide for yourself, after that all will go well: Inshalla.

Capricorn (12/23-1/21)– In the midst of all the topsy-turvy of the world a single note of clarity rings through, It is the clarity of someone who can give an order with conviction and create some form of unity and momentum behind them. You have it in you to ring the clarion call to clarity and to leverage the pressure towards a great change of momentum. Seize it or lose it.

Aquarius (1/22-2/20)– How many Aquarii does it take to screw in a light bulb? Whom ever doesn’t get electrocuted. We said screw in a light bulb, not light up a screwball. Please remember to read the directions carefully and then – uncomfortable as it may be for you – follow them! It will save you endless dry cleaning bills.

Pisces (2/21-3/19)– There’s a reason that ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ made so much money. The dark, mysterious and treacherous unknown currently fascinates us. But make no mistakes, dreams and reality have very different textures, and what is entertaining in imagination is far less appealing in real life.
