As the month begins, there are two significant turning points on the 4th. Firstly, the planet of love and relating Venus turns direct after six weeks retrograde. Venus began its underworld journey on July 23rd in your fellow fire sign Leo, ruling travel, study, adventure and the bigger picture in life.
On the same day that Venus turns direct, your ruling planet Jupiter turns retrograde in Taurus and your work and health sector. Therefore, these two events may be linked. Perhaps, you leave a job to take a sabbatical and go travelling. Alternatively, you may decide now’s not the right time to go on a trip, because of what’s happening at work or regarding your health.
It won’t be the same for every Sagittarius but consider what needs to change early in the month. If you’re typical of your star sign, you’re won’t let a lack of money hold you back and you do have an extravagant side to your nature. Your yearning to travel or expand your life will grow throughout September but be wary of impulsive gestures, especially on the 17th & 29th.
Mission & Purpose
Plus, this month the Sun is in Virgo, the star sign at the peak of your horoscope, up until the 23rd. Virgo rules your career and vocation, your status and reputation. It’s about your future path in life.
This could mean you’re exceptionally busy and, hopefully, doing well. Virgo is the star sign of order and strategy, so get on top of your job, your projects, the next stage in your life. Journalling could help you find clarity.
You could be on a mission in life as a strong sense of purpose and a desire for change and progress pulls you forwards. What you want to achieve might not be for your own ends but taps you into something greater, something beyond yourself. Virgo is ultimately the sign of service to others and helping to create a better world.
Earth sign activity is strong this month and it’s here where you can make progress. However, this is about making the right moves that are based on common sense, rather than getting carried away for the wrong reasons. You may feel a tug on your emotions, a pull towards family. Yet, ultimately this month is about forging your own path and deciding your next steps.
Take a leap of faith and trust your intuition. Use the earth sign mantra to keep putting one foot in front of the other until you reach your chosen destination. This is a month when hard work and persistence could pay off. Yet, there’s the potential for luck and good fortune to kick in. The key dates to attract what you want or need into your life are the 4th, 8th, 16th, 25th & 30th.
Mercury Turns Direct
There’s another turning point this month when the planet of communication Mercury is back up to speed. Mercury turns direct on the 15th in Virgo and your career and future sector after three weeks retrograde. It’s been an unusually chaotic Mercury retrograde phase since Mercury moved into retreat on August 23rd.
If you’ve been waiting to hear about a job, promotion or career-related project, Mercury turning direct could be the green light you’ve been waiting for. Often, news or new information is revealed as Mercury switches direction.
Plus, the 15th is the date of the New Moon in Virgo, an excellent day to set your intentions and start over. A New Moon is a symbol of new beginnings and would be a top date to launch a project or start a new job.
Social Skills
The Libra scales are in evidence this month. For you, this flags up your friendship and group sector. The Sun enters Libra on the 23rd, the day of the Equinox but there’s another strong influence in Libra throughout September.
This is the planet of action Mars in Libra all month. This creates a lot of planetary energy in one of the social sectors of your horoscope. This fits for you, if you’re a typical Sagittarius. You’re one of the extrovert star signs and you often enjoy a wide circle of friends and varied activities.
If you’ve been thinking about joining a club, group or society, it’s an ideal time to do so. If you want to widen your social circle, put time and energy into your friendships. Create friendships that are mutually supportive rather than being a one-way influence.
Channel Mars’ energy into peace-loving activities, as Mars in Libra is a positive Mars for collective and collaborative ventures.
Finally, on the 29th, a powerful Full Moon takes place cutting across the Aries/Libra axis of the zodiac and highlights the social sectors of your horoscope. This would be an ideal Full Moon for celebrating or partying. Make the most of the passionate Full Moon vibes.
Aries rules children, romance and creativity in your horoscope. This may be a significant time for a friendship in your life. Or, your involvement with a group, club or society. If you’ve been over-giving in some shape or form, the light of the Full Moon on the 29th could bring clarity.
