Horoscopes for September, 2015

 

“The recipe this month is "Think Outside the Box". Whether you're cooking up a project alone or with a team, the best results can be had by keeping everything creative and fun, brave and experimental. Relationships in September are all about a good time and more playful than serious, so use your intuition to add spice to your romance. Sprinkle a little independence and freedom over and around you and everyone else in your bubble. Try it--the results may surprise you. FYI-- Mercury goes retrograde on the 17th and isn't direct until October 9th."

 ~ Deborah

Happy Birthday Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 22)Your month:

You Virgo's are so cute and you get enthusiastic about so many things. You're ambitious, ridiculously committed to your work, determined and resourceful. But isn't it also true that you're just a teensy bit involved in intrigue and high drama and sometimes your ubiquitous energy level is too chaotic for even you to manage? No wonder Virgos are famous for developing stomach problems. Hopefully, you found a non-mundane professional path where your unique brand of energy is appreciated. But if not, change your job, because you need a practice of daily self-restraint while creating high drama in your career. Yup, it can be done.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Most call you a diplomat, a peacemaker, a good communicator. But, this month you feel intellectually bulletproof and you don't mind forcing your ideas on other people. In fact, you can be sort of snarky about it, so wrapped up in your own brilliance you may not appreciate the brilliance of other people. Different points of view are important, especially from your brilliant and dynamic friends. You can trust them to work on your pet projects with you, but you just might be mistaken about the brilliance of own ideas. Mercury is retrograde in your sign this month, so double check your facts, okay?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21) Don't be surprised if you suddenly decide to try a new diet this month, or join a gym, or change your work schedule. You might find a more interesting route to the office even if it's not faster, or a quirky, risky new way to do your job. Don't be surprised if you get a raise, or promotion, or an interview with a star reporter. In October, a year's worth of stored personal goals and visions kick into high speed production. But that's next month. This month? Hang out with as many friends and social groups as possible. You'll find out why later.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Lately you've felt like a basketball player on the UT football field, just a little concerned you weren't in the right game. This month you finally feel a surge of the old vitality and efficiency shoot through you concerning anything game/work related. Your plans get executed because you'll have everything you need, exactly as you expected, and without unnecessary problems or delays. But, and here's the hitch, without the support of a team. You're in the game, but you're in it alone. And keep in mind, the more ambitious the desired result, the more effort you'll have to make. For now.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) You're urge to communicate who you are and how you think about work could backfire this month, so it's vitally important that you DON'T--none of your audiences are favorable to your words. Unusual and uncharacteristically original action determines your safety. Look around. Somewhere lurks a verbal blowup and some serious damage to either your career, your home and family or both. Be very sure of what you say before you say it. Don't ask too many questions and certainly don't demand anything. Be as unobtrusive as possible and act try to surprise your opponents by behaving uncharacteristicly. But warn your allies--no point in startling them. Otherwise, you're in for a bumpy month.

Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb. 19) What drives you? Are you aggressive in the pursuit of it or are you waiting? Your insane need to express yourself creatively and be recognized for what you do this month shows up in really dramatic ways. You want, no, need to make an impact but you also insist on keeping your freedom, even when one-on-one. This can wreak havoc on intimate relationships. This is where it hurts. Be empathetic but don't neglect your own needs. The imbalance makes you resent your partners. Nurture yourself and trust your own wisdom. Your fiery enthusiasm and passion will be an inspiration.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) Be very careful with friendship/business/money partnerships. Maybe a friend asks for a loan and you have a hard time saying 'no'. Maybe a money decision you make upsets your partner. Maybe you sign an open-ended contract in good faith. Any of these scenarios could end badly for you, so find the loophole and close it. Maybe you lack confidence in the uniqueness of your own strength to help yourself, because you have so much empathy for other people's suffering and want to fix them instead. Fortunately, you have an almost magical ability to heal yourself and anyone else that needs you. Simultaneously, so you don't have to choose.

Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 20) Your primary relationships are vital now so no running away, no matter what comes up for you. Your traditional M.O. is: Do it 'till it's not fun anymore, then leave. Not this month. Intimate partnerships, good or bad, easy or difficult, fun or not fun, make you feel alive. Here's where you learn the most about yourself. Partnerships, conventional or un-conventional will bring you the biggest bang for your buck. Put some energy into your one-on-ones. Instead of stomping your foot and demanding your own way, or retreating, try listening. You'll get a bigger payoff.

Taurus (Apr. 21-May-21) It's vital this month not to let depression about politics, work, foreign affairs and health food fads infest you with dark thoughts. You might need to uncover the meaning of life, but any bandwagon you jump on this month isn't the right one for you. It's like that old Rodney Dangerfield joke: "I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member." If you become dogmatic about certain philosophies, that's your cue to back off. The need to force your viewpoint in September is particularly acute and could permanently alienate the very people you're trying to convert. 

Gemini (May 22-June 20) September forces a festering wound to the surface. Could it be connected to your past or directly related to your father? Whatever you've slapped a bandaid on, whatever you've been ignoring, covering up or hiding busts open now. You're so busy juggling work and home, you're unprepared and this 'little problem' feels like it's coming from left field. The treatment is communication. Send emails, post info on social media sites, write letters with pen and paper and send them snail mail, make phone calls, texts, or work it out on a radio talk show--All forms of communication are as good as cash and heal all wounds. Even old ones.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Cancers, when you find yourself at home or around family, you need to watch your back. Or your step. Or your words. In fact, if you have an apartment at the office, maybe you could hang out there for a month. You usually play the role of referee, but this month your most important job is to look after yourself and your own sanity. You don't like confrontations, especially family confrontations but they are almost impossible to avoid in September, and the more you try to fix them the more convoluted they get. Why not just take a break from the family thing? Get some work done.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 23) Here is your mantra for September: 'I can cope with any situation. I will not give up, even if it seems the solution isn't feasible or the goal unattainable. All problems can be solved.' The question for you is always, which decisions make an acceptable compromise and which do not. But, if you will just be patient, stretch your tolerance level a teensy bit, and listen more than talk, you'll see some pretty drastic, unexpected and positive developments on the romance front. Be prepared--some serious problems suddenly resolve themselves in the best possible way.

Horoscopes for August 2015

 

“Synchronicity: That word is your mantra in August. Your assignment? Search for quirky, seemingly random coincidences to point your way. They should be obvious, loud and demand some form of action on your part. Communicate, write, make speeches, train, sell, teach and express yourself in ways that bring you joy. You may not be sure what to do, exactly, but the answers are probably in the arts. Look for the artist within, let him/her break free and see what happens. Observe the signs: they'll help you achieve your life's purpose. 

~ Deborah

Happy Birthday Leo!(July 23-Aug. 23) Your month: You burst into August like a race horse out of the starting gate. And guess what? You win this race. No one, unless they maybe live on Mars or something, can resist you this month: The brilliance of your personality simply cannot be ignored. You're charming, clever, witty, and unique. But you need freedom, you need change, you need variety, and right now you need these things in your profession. But first, look around--search for a way to think about work differently. Search for the not-so-obvious signs showing which direction to go, then go. Pursue the unconventional path.

Virgo(Aug. 24-Sept. 22) It's an interesting month for Virgo's and all of you are more, well, Virgo-y. Your actual physical presence is demanded in too many places at once but your unique brand of energy, hard work and self discipline comes easily, so you don't mind. You're such a good worker and can usually keep your well-documented micro-managing somewhat under control, but not this month. This month you've got an entire rock opera playing in your head. You can see the whole thing, work out all the parts, keep what all the players should be doing in your minds eye. So the powerful juju you work this month happens behind the scenes as well as in public. Trust your brain.

Libra(Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Whoa, what is happening to you this month? Are you winning an Academy Award? Or, are you the keynote speaker for a national convention? Did you win the marathon in San Antonio? Or, maybe just released a new song and it's a number one hit or your concert's sold out and the venue had to add more dates? In other words, August is a great month for you when it comes to money, work and career. But. You must be brave and trust this month, and the Universe, to make you a superstar. Self-doubt will halt you in your tracks.

Scorpio(Oct. 23-Nov.21) Change, growth, expansion--August is a busy month for you. But change and growth for their own sakes don't work for you nearly as well as change, growth and expansion spurred on by brave and blinding creativity. But, you're feeling just a little frustrated trying to do just that. Here's a hint: When you get bossy and act like your old self-assertive self, you hit a brick wall. The trick is to identify the key creative players in your work and...compromise. Relax. Stop assuming you have to do everything alone. Trust in your team and you've mastered this lesson. The brick wall disappears.

Sagittarius(Nov. 22-Dec. 21) This month you're wrapped up in a quest to learn the best way to serve humanity. You feel compelled to follow the bigger, really, the biggest picture, ignoring the small stuff. But you know there's so much at stake here, sometimes you feel the weight of the entire world on your shoulders. You want to solve those big problems, uncover the greatest truths, even if you have to travel the earth to do it, especially if you have to travel the earth to do it. So, the big problem with August is the small stuff, especially the kind of small stuff connected to personal relationships, demands you deal with it now. It may tie you up trying to manage the chaos, it may interfere with your own grand plans for detached service to humanity. So watch for it.

Capricorn(Dec. 22-Jan. 20) You Cappys have always demanded a high, almost impossible-to-sustain level of commitment from your partners, both personal and professional. Well, this month you finally get to benefit from them in a big, magical way. Look for inheritance benefits, insurance company benefits, corporate payouts, and benefits from any jointly held business project. You are going to benefit from any resource you share with your spouse, so lighten up. Don't let that side of you that kind of enjoys a little drama in your life create it unnecessarily with unrealistic expectations. This just might interfere with the easy enjoyment of some very well-deserved shared benefits.

Aquarius(Jan 21-Feb. 19) It's relationship time for you lucky people. Everything points to an explosive, magnificent, standard-setting partnership cycle, so relax and try not to ruin it by being unrealistic about it. Keep everything fun-loving and generous. Indulge yourself and your partner and share adventures and philosophies, not judgements. And communicate. Focus on communicating and you learn as much about yourself as your partner. You're all about self-knowledge, aren't you? You've always wanted a partner who gives you the freedom to live the way you want, but still communicates enough for you to feel secure, so you're going to love August.

Pisces(Feb. 20-March 20) You've waited patiently for your career, and the folks you work with, to recognize your creative contributions and present you with more opportunities. You've seen progress but it's been slow. Well, not this month. Your personal work ethic blows away the competition, not that you have any competition. You can't stop working, or working it, or working out. Even your diet is exemplary. That's not the kind of thing that usually gets you noticed and pushes you on stage, out in front of everyone, but that's August for you--a month full of attention and accolades. Just practice your royal wave.

Aries(Mar. 21-Apr. 20) Home and family matters have been a little rough since June and you or the people you live with are cranky, irritable and quick to offense. You need to feel secure emotionally but you've had, shall we say, a "fear of intimacy" lately. You're just a little sensitive to any highly charged atmosphere, even if you created it. But here's the deal--it wasn't, isn't, real. Mars, the planet of work and war was just messing with you. After the 8th of this month you're home free. Can you wait it out? Channel this energy into some uber creative projects, kids, something romantic, or something combining all three. Be the star that you are and shine.

Taurus(Apr. 21-May-21) Tolstoy wrote, "All happy families are happy in the same way". A happy home and family: It's what you're about this month. You're especially concerned with your role within it, but don't worry. You get to be King (or Queen), no contest. You're especially creative and inventive right now, so it's easy for your people to accede rulership to you, because it's fun. You're fun. In spite of being the boss, your easy-going sense of individuality, your pursuit of out-of-the-ordinary fun, your gentle, loving and charming ways, and your affectionate nature, are all things that encourage your subjects, er, family to really enjoy your company. 

Gemini(May 22-June 20) Career is important, work is important, but you know what's really important? Communication. Your focus in August is communication, and not just communicating with those close to you. You need to find a way to communicate with your neighborhood, with your town and with your state, even if you have to drive all over to do it. Now with the internet you can take your personal and professional message and share it with your country and the world as well. Decide who you want to be, what you want to say, have a clear purpose and a theme. Then go to it.

Cancer(June 21-July 22) This month you're aggressive about making money, and you're really good at it, but it's not just about money. You're aggressively pursuing your values, whatever they are. Sometimes money and possessions equal strength and power to you. Sometimes valuable objects and beautiful possessions do. You have an almost magical ability to see beauty in 'things'. This month you might also be aggressive about attracting someone into your life who helps give your finances a little boost, because they see you as talkative, intelligent, and a quick-learner. Please, just be careful not to tie up your self esteem too closely to your finances. Try to focus on other, more spiritual values.
