This has been a gratifying year for your career, but a strenuous one, too. Now that you’ve achieved quite a bit of professional momentum, you can safely turn your attention away from work for a few weeks. Relax, kick back, and plan to connect with friends, dear Scorpio. The new moon of September 8 will help you expand your circle of friends and you may be surprised how inspired you become by one or two you meet this month.
Clearly things are looking up. Mercury, the planet that has delayed your plans since mid-August, will now move ahead September 12. Also this month, Mars, your ruling planet, will enter Scorpio, allowing you to begin a critical new cycle. From now on, you are the leader of the parade, and others will march to your tune. You’ve not had this advantage since October 2008, so you will notice the difference! Mars in Scorpio will make you more vibrant and energetic too, and in love, more alluring.
The signs are everywhere that you are coming into your own and this has to be so exciting! Pluto, your ruler, will turn direct speed too, on September 14, after months of being retrograde. In weeks ahead, you may be gratified to see others will be more willing to support your causes. Rather than spend so much time looking back, you can pioneer forward. For months, you’ve had to use all your powers of persuasion to get critics on your side. Now they will admit you were right all along.
It will be funny to see former critics rush to your side. They will profess that they always supported you and never doubted you’d become the rock star that others are saying you are about to be. The old axiom, “Defeat is an orphan, but success has 100 fathers,” comes to mind. Just smile and say thank you - you finally rallied others to your side.
Jupiter will be back in Pisces as of September 9, giving you an enormous boost both creatively and romantically. In fact, the fall should be your best period that you’ve enjoyed in a very long time!
Jupiter in his new position will also boost your health and vitality (as will Pluto and Mars) and also protect you by giving you a margin of error other signs won’t have. If you make a mistake, you will be able to dust yourself off and keep going as if nothing happened, but other signs won’t be so fortunate!
One of your very favorite days of the month - possibly of the year - will arrive on September 18 when benefic Jupiter and sparking Uranus will link in your house of true love. If you do meet someone special, you may feel hit by lightning - it could be THAT powerful! In the days leading to this day, September 16 and 17, present a creative idea.
Admittedly, September 21 could bring an upset in love or friendship, and the resulting hurt could run deep. It’s not a day to take a risk but to sit back and find out what is to be revealed. Alternatively, a friend or lover may need your help. In that case, you’ll be right there.
September 21 may also be stressful at work, too. An authority figure may make a shocking comment or criticism that sends you reeling. Stay on guard, but don’t read things into this incident. Take what is helpful and discard the rest.
On September 30, you may find yourself in a political situation at the office that requires you to defend yourself. Someone may try to steal credit for your work or may work at cross-purposes to you. It can be a day that leaves you frustrated or deflated but only temporarily. Like the phoenix that is your symbol, soon you will rise again.
Dates to Note:
Mercury will retrograde in your friendship sector, a holdover from August 20, until September 12. You may run into several old pals in the first half of the month.
The new moon in Virgo on September 8 will help you make new friends and acquaintances - delicious! Consider joining a club or getting involved in social media.
The full moon will bring a work project or new job to fruition, September 23 plus or minus four days.
If you were born at the end of the sign, near November 19 or 20, you may see a romantic episode reach fullness, too.
Mars will enter Scorpio September 14, the time you will move to the head of the class. Mars in your sign will give you quite an advantage!
Venus will conjoin Mars - the most alluring aspect possible - as you get closer to month’s end (to meet in early October). Your charm is on the rise, dear Scorpio!
Now that Pluto, your other ruler, is turning direct September 14 after five months of being retrograde, you’ll see your life move at fast forward. If you were born October 25 or 26, or near these dates, you will have exceptional rejuvenation powers.
The conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus could bring all sorts of cosmic gifts on September 18: new love, a baby, a very fun memorable time with someone you love, greater creativity, or even news of a pregnancy. It’s all so good for you and none of these are mutually exclusive! Spectacular!
You may see a sports or fitness breakthrough at the full moon, September 23, plus or minus four days. This full moon will be perfect for competitive athletics.
