Editors Note: After a really challenging August, I am so excited to see that things are shaping up and calming down come this September.  I always feel so much more confident after reading these horoscopes, or after I meet with Patrice directly for our consultations because she has such an amazing perspective when it comes to our stars and planets and how they align.  Is this month going to be full of joy for you?  Take a look! ~Nitika~

After last month’s unprecedented astrological activity, we find we are all standing on new ground.  Have you readjusted your vision to a new reality yet?

While on the surface, things may appear the same, internally you have ended one chapter permanently and begun a new life cycle.

The cardinal cross of 2010, which had been developing for the entire year, hit exactitude on August 7th and 8th.  There was a very clear sense that life and the way you see the world was permanently altered.  This was further implicated by events around the 21st of last month.

We are rapidly heading into the energies of 2012 and certainly by next spring 2011, we will be in the thick of global and personal consciousness awakening.

This month we will experience a few cleaning up transits that trail in the wake of August’s dynamic energies.

As the month begins, Mercury (planet of communication) is retrograde in the sign of Virgo.  We are offered the chance to go back and look at behavior and lifestyle patterns and see which ones need a little tweaking.  When Mercury turns direct on September 12th, we will have heard and begun to integrated the necessary changes.

Two days later, Pluto stations direct in Capricorn, re-activating the t-square energy of the summer.  Once again, we are dealing with issues of deep transformation, personal and corporate integrity, and a further disabling of the current reality paradigm.

A few days later, we have the second of three Jupiter/Uranus conjunctions, signalling some personal and public breakthroughs and awakenings.  While the June 8th conjunction occurred in the sign of Aries, this months and a third one in Jan of 2011, are happening at the late degrees of Pisces.   Since 2002, we have been breaking free of victim behavior and idealistic thinking in our Pisces houses and electrifying new dimensions of  universal spirituality and creative expression.  The Jupiter/Uranus conjunction on Sept 16th will reveal the core kernel of brilliance culled from all the previous years that Uranus has been in Pisces (2002 through 2011).

While these aspects correlate with breakthroughs in science, technology, culture and art, whatever is culminating now still may be underneath the radar of the public.

Think Steve Jobs in his garage inventing the personal computer back in 1976  or Jung writing his  Interpretation of Dreams in 1900  .  At the time, the authors/creators knew they were onto something, but had no idea how far-reaching and consequential their ideas were.  Similar paradigm shifting inventions/concepts are happening now as we speak.  Do not discount an idea even and/or especially if it is futuristic, humanitarian,  because this is a once-in a lifetime cycle of accessing and igniting this quality of brilliance.

Fortunately with all the dynamic cosmic activity, we also get a chance for some private time and soul merging.  Mars (planet of life force energy, sexuality, male essence)co-mingles with Venus (attraction, beauty, feminine nature) in the sign of Scorpio from September 28th through Oct. 9th.  The cosmic lovers are intertwined to manifest love, sexual bonding and psychological transformation and will continue to do so in different combinations throughout the next nine months.   This is very hot stuff and next month, when Venus goes retrograde in Scorpio, you may be attracting lovers from the near or far past.  (The last time Venus retrograded in the sign of Scorpio was fall of 2002).  God knows we need a little seduction thrown into this huge conflagration of growth we are experiencing.

So be happy with what has left your life because the energies are amping up to bring you your soul’s desire.  Enjoy the rapids!

ARIES

Rockets are blasting off in your career house, after months of delays and setbacks.  You’ve been working the kinks out in your daily routines and  now it shows in a more refined presentation.   There are still some behind the scenes rumblings that are the result of several years of soul searching.  Your reward is a potent love connection that screams karmic.

TAURUS

You may have heard back from an old lover or resumed work on a side-tracked project.  You really can’t go back to the way things were, whether in love or in friendship because your beliefs are changing rapidly and you are no longer the same person.   This fact is reflected back to you in the very different social contacts you are attracting as well as the seriously sexy love interest who has newly arrived at your door.

GEMINI

You’ve had to reestablish proper boundaries with your family because after years of care-taking them, you now have to focus on your self and your burgeoning career.

The growth is now taking place in the depths of you, requiring you to bring your A game to intimate encounters of a profound nature.  You’ve got some help in the

lifestyle department where some highly creative individuals help you add sizzle to your step.

CANCER

Hopefully this is the last time you have to go back and review the part in your childhood that said you had to think small or worried.  Expansion is the name of the game in terms of your vision and the serious playmate you want to bring along.  Break free from the past because it is time for a major redefinition of self that includes the words

resourceful, powerful and and magnetic.

LEO

Yes, Leo, your fires have been somewhat dampened these last five years, what with releasing your past expectations and limitations and re-aquainting yourself with your

inherent talents.  The universe recognizes the hard work you’ve done, and while your work life will continue to go through a major transformation for quite some time, right now you are being blessed with some unusual financial opportunities and love of a very hot and serious nature.

VIRGO

Put the last flourish on the part that reads” I“.  It’s been a tough two years or so of reconfiguring your self image and you are beginning a new chapter in self-realization.

And while you Virgos sometimes like to play things safe, thankfully the universe has some surprises in store for you.  Don’t be afraid, however, as they involve

unexpected creative, romantic and community connections that will get your heart and mind sizzling in a very good way.

LIBRA

Release those doubts of not being good enough.  As a Cardinal sign, you are a major recipient of the current cosmic cycle of change.  Not only do you not have to remain at the beck and call of mom and dad (or partners that remind you of them), but you get to reconfigure the entire family structure with you at the helm.

The healthy integration of male and female pans out in brilliant opportunities in your day job, but also more potent financial and sexual relations.

SCORPIO

What happened to all your old friends?  If they hadn’t understood the real you, it’s time to relegate them to past tense once and for all.  Perhaps they hadn’t recognized your serious intellectual bent (which is deepening as we speak) or your very futuristic vision on art and/or relationships.  No worries, there are now new people who not only see you, but can’t wait to burst into your inner circle to sample the seriously delectable creature that is you.

SAGITTARIUS

All the work you’ve put into career has not gone to waste as you will discover when some old projects/connections return for completion and further development.

Certainly it’s time to be seen as an equal, if not leader.  So much is happening in your inner psyche that is of a deeply emotional nature that you can be forgiven for

wanting to step out of the limelight temporarily.  That is fine because there is a behind the scenes love interest who would like to spend time with you and you alone.

CAPRICORN

Like your opposite sign Cancer, the last vestiges of guilt and shame can now be released.  You are in the midst of a major re-birthing, one that is the result of your own inner promptings and desires.  Where you may have been conservative or reticent before, you are now expressing concepts and ideas of a truly enlightened manner.  Those with depth and perspicacity find themselves irresistibly drawn to you.

AQUARIUS

When it comes to love or love making, you don’t have to do things perfectly.  You are realizing that despite your outer zaniness, you are rather structured and self critical in your thinking.  But with Pisces as your second house of self-worth and talents, you have access to a wellspring of fluid and highly inspired creativity.  Opportunities to show that creativity and be paid for it are coming your way.  Likewise, those who crave intensity and depth are your greatest allies.

PISCES

Old lovers may have returned to give you a taste of where you were and most likely, what you will not countenance again.  You’ve done without for the last several years when it comes to getting your needs met and in that time, have learned to generate the love within.  That transformation now leads you to greener pastures where

you are recognized for your gifts and offered alliances that will truly feed your heart, mind and soul.
