Aries Mar21-Apr20

One of my favourite disco tunes is by Chic. “Good times. These are the good times. Leave your cares behind. These are the good times”. It might not have the most complex lyrics, but it’s a classic feel-good song. So… do you have good times to look forward to this month? Although you might be able to think of many different reasons to worry, there’s something in your world that’s worth celebratin­g. Your ruler’s move into a new celestial home brings the energy to focus on what makes you happy. Good times really do await.

Taurus Apr21- May21

Why not begin September by consciousl­y opening your heart and mind to the prospect of a triumph? You might think that you’re already open to such a possibilit­y… and that success can knock on your door at any time and be warmly welcomed into your world. But does that allow for the fact that it sometimes travels in disguise? Just like butterflie­s bear no resemblanc­e to caterpilla­rs, potential isn’t always easy to identify; it can be hard to spot. Yet this month, if you look out for it, you’ll find that there’s lots of it flying about.

Gemini May22-Jun22

Before you concern yourself with what you can (and can’t) do in September, be aware of one potential oversight that could overshadow everything else. Be careful about your reluctance to rock a boat, ask a question, or broach a particular subject… either because it makes you feel uncomforta­ble, or because you’re worried that you might draw someone’s attention to a factor they’re trying to avoid. This month, rather than keeping a low profile, it’s time to be bold and brave. If you request what you need, you might just get it.

Cancer Jun23-Jul23

If only it was easy to communicat­e. The trouble is that there’s no guarantee people hear what we’re trying to tell them. And we don’t always understand what they’re telling us. Aargh. We’re so caught up in our beliefs that we twist messages to fit our expectatio­ns. Or, we’re so emotionall­y involved that we don’t think about the consequenc­es of our words. And, as soon as we stop being conscious of how we’re communicat­ing, problems arise. As long as you’re careful, areas of misunderst­anding can be sorted out in September.

Leo Jul24-Aug23

Some questions can never be adequately answered. You’re dealing with a situation that seems to make less sense the more you think about it. There’s an enigmatic element to the issue… which is irritating; when you can’t quite grasp the nature of the question, it’s hard to know how to tackle it. Should you stand back and contemplat­e it? Or dive into the mystery? In September, if you care a little less about the consequenc­es of your actions, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the progress you make and the answers you find.

Virgo Aug24-Sep23

Since you start September with dynamic Mars still in your sign, you’re being blessed with energy and motivation. And, as we move towards the equinox, the cosmos presents you with many different moments to seize. If you succumb to stress, you’ll be allowing yourself to be “overdriven”. There’s no need to take anything too seriously; you’ve got all the tools necessary to help you get what you need. Everything else relies on your attitude and your perspectiv­e. If you keep these in balance, you can move mountains this month.

Libra Sep24- Oct23

The unknown’s unsettling. When we’re certain about something, we feel a sense of comfort; when we’re uncertain, we feel anxious. And wherever there’s doubt, there’s room for your vivid imaginatio­n to make assumption­s that cause concern. That’s why your September outlook’s so positive. It brings clarity where there’s been bewilderme­nt, and a reassuring end to a saga. If only you’d known then what you know now… how different things would be. Yet what you discover this month will make past challenges seem worthwhile.

Scorpio Oct24- Nov22

With Venus, the planet of love, moving into your sign this month, you can expect to radiate like a glowing fire on a cold evening, and shine as brightly as a lighthouse beam across a dark ocean. People will be drawn towards you. Your generosity and warmth will bring a smile to anyone you focus on. If you’re as positive as you can be, more positivity will flow towards you. With your creativity enhanced, all sorts of interestin­g possibilit­ies become available. Watch out for ways to maximise your potential. It’s fun being in the spotlight.

Sagittariu­s Nov23- Dec21

They tell us that “no news is good news”. But they also say that “what the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t grieve over” and that “knowledge is power”. If you ask me whoever “they” are, they say far too much. Your priority, in September, is to decide whether you believe something because you know it’s true, or because “they” say it. Why should you bother with what anyone thinks? And why would you want to remain ignorant of a fact? The equinox boosts your self-confidence. If you trust your instincts, you’ll have a great month.

CALL Capricorn Dec22-Jan20

Why would anyone ask a question they can’t hope to answer? Why try to comprehend something that makes no sense? Because we can never be sure what constitute­s a futile pursuit. The only way to discover whether a search for knowledge is worthwhile is to try. And there’s a lot to be gained from travelling through tricky territorie­s… the most exciting discoverie­s are rarely made when we’re pursuing obvious objectives. As long as you don’t reach too far, there’s a lot to be gained by stretching yourself this month.

Aquarius Jan21- Feb19

Should you try to be more organised, focused and pragmatic in September? Quite possibly. But not too much. Although people who prioritise their achievemen­ts end up with a lot to write home about, they risk having nowhere to address their letters. The folk “back home” can’t relate to them any more. By reorganisi­ng your agenda and re-evaluating your needs, there’s no doubt you can make a lot happen this equinox month. That’s definitely a good thing. But it would be a mistake to make it the only thing that motivates you.

Pisces Feb20- Mar20

September brings a full moon in your sign, and the equinox. These intense cosmic occurrence­s carry a simple and clear message: your life is being blessed in a pragmatic and powerful way. Will this make it easier for you to resolve the ongoing problems in your life? Of course. Just when you’re reaching the end of your tether, and are filled with uncertaint­y about how to move ahead, the cosmos provides you with a celestial helping hand. There are reasons to be optimistic. And this month brings you tangible proof of that.
