Starscope for Today’s Living
The golden month of September brings with it new vitality and an emphasis on relationships. The action planet, Mars, spends the first 14 days in Virgo; Mercury occupies Libra during that same time, and beyond. Virgo is associated with perfection. While planets visit Virgo, you are keenly aware of shortcomings and flaws. This combination can result in social disaster. This period will test your patience and your diplomacy.
On September 14, Mars arrives in Libra, where Mercury still remains. Libra represents one-on-one relationships and alliances, whether personal or business. Your behavior during this transit can fluctuate from dependence to independence. This month is an opportunity to practice diplomacy and to treat people with respect. Instead of allowing difficult planetary alignments to magnify flaws out of proportion, you can practice tact and polish your social skills. Respect every person’s dignity. Criticism’s slash can be crueler than a razor’s. It can destroy relationships, careers, and self-confidence. If you must point out a problem, be tactful.
If you plan to travel this month or the next, finalize all the arrangements before Mercury goes retrograde on September 27. It’s also a good idea to make back-up copies of your computer files before that date.
