You’re known for being a soulful, sexy creature who can mingle with a crowd, but who also craves the comfort of some quality alone time. This month delivers both for you, Scorpio. September starts off with a bang: a solar eclipse in your house of socializing and group collaborations. As this is a new moon, fresh new chapters can begin, and they could open with a speed that might take your breath away. Eclipses are known for bringing about rapid change, something that you may not have seen coming.
So get ready for the unexpected: a charitable organization asking you to join their board; a business contact wanting to team up with you on a project; pals could plan a spontaneous trip to an exciting destination; you could meet a new flame at a social event, even something that’s business related. New people could come into your life over the next six months, but there may be some with whom you part company. People get “eclipsed out” when lunations like this take place, so if a tie with an acquaintance or group has run its course, you may decide to move on.
Neptune is in a tough angle from your house of romance, indicating that you and a lover may not be in agreement about an issue around the 1st. One of you may be craving more security than the other, with those pesky “where is this relationship going?” kind of discussions taking place. Or it may be that you just want more quality time with your lover, and they can’t give it to you due to work or family pressures. Just know that Pluto is in an excellent angle from your communication sector, so talk things over.
Eclipses always occur in pairs, and there will be a lunar eclipse on the 16th in your house of romance. How this eclipse plays out really depends upon the state of your union prior to the 16th. Some Scorpios may call things off, whereas others will finally get off the fence and propose marriage! A number of you could decide (suddenly) to take things to higher level: living together for example, or having a baby. It will be an emotional time, that’s for sure, especially with assertive Mars in your house of security wanting to know where things stand.
In between these two celestial events comes one of the biggest moments of the year: Jupiter’s transition from Virgo into Libra on the 9th. Jupiter is the great benefic of our solar system, optimistic and generous. It’s also a great healer, a positive aspect because Libra is your twelfth house of closure, catharsis and reflection. Jupiter hasn’t been to this part of the sky in 13 years, so this is a major event. The next year will be a time of great introspection, when you’ll be able to see things below the surface—and make sense of them.
If you are questioning a romantic tie, or your connections with other people for that matter, you’ll have plenty of time to think things through. When the twelfth house is lit up like this it’s time to get rid of what’s no longer working for us, be it a job, bad habit, frenemy, aches and pains, or our own issues. You can make progress in releasing old mental and emotional traumas that have been holding you back.
But this can also be an incredibly creative period, as your subconscious mind will be buzzing with ideas. It’s wise to work on things behind the scenes now, such as a book, screenplay, business plan, patent, or business venture. Don’t forget, this month the focus is on collaborating with others, so despite the cocooning vibe you can still prosper by teaming up. The eclipse on the 1st falls in your house of technology, so if you’ve been considering developing an app, online store or website that involves the cooperation of other people, go for it!
Be advised that Mercury is retrograde in the teamwork part of the sky, so you could be revisiting old projects. You may also need to redefine the roles people play, or set completion dates further out than you had originally anticipated. Pluto is also retrograde in the communication sector, which means that someone may be pulling rank.
Good days for working on business ideas are the 2nd, 7th, 17th, 18th and 20th. Mercury goes direct on the 22nd and Pluto does the same on the 26th. Your best time to promote like mad is after the 27th, when red-hot Mars enters Capricorn. This is your house of marketing, negotiating and cutting deals.
Stay on your toes, however, on the 12th and 13th when business and financial issues can get tense. This can take place within a personal relationship, as you and a lover (or family member)may not agree as to how money is being spent or saved.
But overall, this is a good month for love. The 2nd is wonderful for talking about future plans, as is the 7th. On the 19th the cosmic lovers, Mars and Venus, wink at each other in the heavens. The 26th, considered to be the best day of the year by many astrologers, could be the day when you meet someone who qualifies as a soulmate. Lucky Jupiter and the Sun conjoin in the heavens, a marvelous aspect. The energy will build up several days before and will last a few days after, so spend this time in the arms of the one you love, as it’s an ardent, passionate time.
