9月伊始，你可能刚从一趟刺激的周假或者商务旅行中归来，这种愉快的感觉就像是假期。上个月底8月29日的满月发生在双鱼座这个对你非常有利的星座，因此你应该享受了每一刻，尤其是你可能走得很远。如果你成功地花了至少一部分时间呆在水边，那感觉更美妙。上个满月重新设定了你的内在和对世界的外在感受，并有助于消除近来你一直感受到的紧张。如果没能远行，那么你可能决定成为自己所在城市的游客，参加画廊、看电影、百老汇演出和其他文化娱乐，它们会给你机会深呼吸释放自己。
9月的开始将充斥着电话、会议、电子邮件、文档和谈判，因此你将不得不长点心眼儿。节奏会很快，然后木星这个天赋和幸运的赐予者将保护你并且扩展所有你在沟通领域所接触到的事物，你将因为各种各样的可能性而感到兴奋。
现在你正步入新的篇章，并如你的本来面目成为了那个非常敏悟的灵魂，你可能已经感觉到了，木星将把重点放在这个领域直到2016年9月，因此你就站在这股趋势展开的起点上。
你需要有针对性地工作，因为水星即将在9月17日到10月9日逆行，但你可能已经感受到了水逆经典的缓慢、无法与决策者取得联系、通讯混乱和健忘这些水逆期间的经典标志。现在签署文件实际上已经为时过晚，但是看看能不能推迟到10月底或者最好11月再做。你可能做不到，但尽力而为吧。9月将会有大量的不确定因素，你需要关注会发生什么以做出明智的决定。我们一会儿再来讨论这个水逆。
就在9月12--13日新月日食之后，交流的主题将会更鲜明地强调。这次日食将是友好的，为你打开一扇门，所以保持乐观。冥王星也很友好，他可能会标志着你和商业伙伴或者爱人将有个新的开始。看起来在未来几周你的旅行会超过此前全年完成的。事实上你会一直在路上，所以如果你的车辆有问题，你可能需要买个新车。（水逆期间也就是9月17日到10月9日别买，因为水星掌管着所有机器的活动部件，以及所有的电子设备。在水逆期间买电子设备从来都不是明智之举，因为稍后你可能会后悔自己的选择。）9月你可能会有突然的开车、铁路或者巴士出行，你会因为这些可能性感到非常愉快。
关注旅行和沟通将不是短期趋势--会是长久的，因为这个月的食相以及在2016到2017年即将到来的食相将会继续指向这些主题。我认为你的旅行将会是为了工作，但也不完全是。有可能你被过去几年里强大的家庭责任压得喘不过气，而现在突然从这些责任中得以释放自己，从而做好准备展翅高飞。
就好像放在旅游、协商和沟通上的重点还不够似的，火星也将在9月24日进入你星盘的这个领域，并待到11月12日。这段时间你将会因为工作快速旅行到邻近城市。火星掌管着你们代表名声和荣誉的10宫，看起来你会在旅途中获得令人印象深刻的胜利。
这个月，作为另一种可能，你也许和兄弟姐妹一起为某个计划或者项目工作，因为你的三宫、同样也掌管着兄弟姐妹，被如此地照亮了。如果真是这样，你们现在和未来几个月将会进行密切的沟通。
说到沟通，你可能被要求写作、编辑、校对、编程、翻译、背诵或者提供脚本、编写法庭演说、设计一个广告活动、负责某个重要的广告文案、被要求加入某一小组或者参加电视游戏节目、参加电影或者商业试镜、接受即兴演说培训，配音或者进行这种性质的其他项目。说到沟通，你们将是最有可能的星座被引荐到一个新的舞台并在那里发光。
食相总是会加快推动你的日程表，所以无论之前的计划是什么，它必然遵循你在9月12-13之后的日子学到的东西而改变。土星相对于这次日食的相位表明，届时所获得的所有东西都将与你同在--你将会大展拳脚，无论现在有没有达到自己的目标。如果没有，你还有时间，第二次机会明年初就会出现。
与此同时，相对于这个最显著的活动，土星即将在9月17日离开天蝎座进入射手座，直到2017年12月。当然了，土星就是那种让我们做好准备成熟地承担责任的行星。土星现在即将离开你的真爱宫，这是个好消息，因为你在找到真爱、或者保持爱情上不再有障碍，这些障碍你可能早在2012年10月土星初次进入天蝎座时就感受到了。
如果有怀孕方面的问题--这也是推特上朋友们和读者们的头号问题--你有理由充满希望了。务必在10月下旬或者11月的上半月做好准备咨询生育专家。
在射手座，土星要求耐心的工作，你可能在招聘向你报告的人时有困难，可能候选人没什么可选择的余地。保留存档收到的简历以备将来之需。你的项目可能比自己预估的时间更久才能完成，并且比你估计的会花更多的钱。善待自己，在预估时给自己一点时间和金钱上的弹性。你会工作得非常努力，但是在土星过境时你所赢得的东西将长存很多年，甚至是永远。
如果你身处一个多人竞价模式中，也许将会给你带来束缚，因为你的报价没法比别人低。如果你的境况是之后说清楚原因就能加钱的话，你可以把自己的预算削紧。在我还是一个商业摄影师经济人的时候，我就能够这么干，因为我知道竞争对手在恶意低价来获得订单。我会在广告代理商那就这么解释给那些买家听，如果我一开始故意降低了我的报价的话，后来我也许会回过头来加价，让更多的经费得到批准。奇怪的时候，如果这些代理机构想要你的摄影师的话，如果你能表明原因，他们将会统一去之后批准更多地经费。也许更低的出价是你的客户唯一能和你们签单的原因，基于公司政策的限制。
生活所迫，我们不得不如此，—我们都知道成本是怎样—因此广告商知道我是可以信赖并且实际的，不过奇怪的是如果我一开始就如实报价，我反而会接不到单。这一切对我来说都如此诡异。不过，广告商自己也是知道市场真实价格的，如果他们真的想雇佣你代理的摄影师，他们几乎不用我说就自己会同意后续的合理加价。我总是能得到批准。
类似这种境况里，最后的关键都是基于你业内名声的信任问题。做你需要做的事情。当水星将要逆行的时候，在这个为期三周半的周期里，几乎你所做的一切都将会有反复。保持信心，要有耐心，慢慢来。
水星将会在天秤座内逆行，在你的四宫家庭和家宅宫内，因此你也许会致力于房子或者公寓，或者你最近从别的家庭成员里继承的遗产相关的事宜，也许你将需要做一些修缮或者维护。或者你也许需要去整理你仓库里的杂乱物品，或者如果你住在城市里，你也许会整理你的衣柜。你也许会意外收获一些你曾经找不着或者以为丢了的物品。我最爱整理衣柜了，因为你一定能发现一些有趣的事物，有些还会让你有点伤感。装满旧照片的盒子就有类似效果，它们总是能够吸引我的目光，勾起我对旧日点滴的回忆。
如果你有年长的亲戚，采访下他们。问问他们关于你母亲童年在你生活城市的事情，或者她长大的城市。一般而言你能从那些经历过那些美好时光的人那里学到一些很美好的故事，你也将知道父母小时候的事情。有时候这些故事的讲述都带着讲故事那位亲属个人的色彩，才华和兴趣。这些故事也许是有趣的，有洞见的以及对你是一种启示，或者也可能有点伤感，不过都是讲故事人个性的显现。
我总是为我妈妈和我父亲的三个姐妹，也就是我的三个阿姨之间的亲密程度感到惊讶。因为她是一个德裔美国人，进入到了一个完全是意大利裔美国人的家庭中，却能被我的祖母和三个阿姨所接纳。我爸爸的家这边在曼哈顿买了栋大房子，我和我的妹妹，还有我爸爸妈妈住在二层，我爸爸的家人就住在三层。这是一个非常近的距离。
那时，在我的小妈妈过世之后，我妹妹递给了我一张8*10的照片上面是我妈妈和我的三个阿姨。那是上个世界60年代在科尼岛的海边，她们四个人全部身着一件式泳衣的照片。那时我还没出生，因为我爸妈都还没结婚了。我非常惊讶，她们四个人几乎有着一样的身形，搂着彼此的腰，笑得一脸灿烂。
突然之间我明白了。我妈妈嫁进了一个非有爱而且欢迎她的家庭，我爸爸的三个姐妹都非常喜欢我的妈妈，她们立即和她成为了好姐妹。她们年纪相仿，价值观和兴趣爱好相近，一定有很多共同点。这种感觉有点像进入妇女联合会。我妈妈对于纽约这个城市很陌生，但是嫁给了我爸爸，和他的家人在一起却给她带来了如此多的温暖。她对于我爸爸家人的爱从未动摇过。
之后我是家族里的第一个孩子，因此我有了三个非常可爱而且有点溺爱我的阿姨，而且她们当时都是单身，以及一位非常有爱的母亲。在我的孩童时期，我简直拥有了一个小孩需要的全部注意力，在帮助我的家庭作业方面，或者更小的时候，会有人讲故事书给我听。突然之间，一张旧时的照片告诉了我这一切的原因。你也许会有同样顿悟的时刻。
我还有另一个类似的启示。在我的青少年时期，我从未有关“我到底是谁”这样的困惑阶段，一直很好奇为什么我的朋友都会有而我就是没有。我的内心一直都是十分坚定的，总是能感受到自己强硬的内核，时至今日，我依然能保持这种状态。我是如此幸运出生在一个稳定而充满爱的家庭网里，这给了一种非常强烈的安全感。我从未意识到自己能拥有这一切是多么幸运——我认为所有人的家庭都是如此。当然，小孩子确实不太能明白，而也直到长大后你才会理解他人是如何长大的。现在你明白了一张黑白照片能让你学到什么了吧。开始寻找，你一定也会有惊喜！
尽快去采访你的亲戚。每个你拜访的亲戚都会因你想要知道更多而非常高兴，而你们之间的纽带也会加强。或者你也许会去就你们的家谱做一些兴趣研究，也许会在网站上浏览你们的家族历史。
如果你觉得家庭里一直有个秘密，或者你一直希望去寻找你的亲身父母（因为你是收养的），这将会是个好时机去再次踏上寻亲之旅。水逆期间去做这些事情都是非常合适的。因为水星这颗代表了智力的行星，将会想要你回溯过去取寻找到某个你一直渴望寻找到事物的终结。
一般来说，类似9月12-13日的日食都是很和善的，他们都会带来惊喜，通常是突然的机会。或者，如果某些事情一直在拖延的话，你都准备放弃了，日食却将给你带来突破，如果它和你本命盘你的太阳或者月亮有接触的话。在没有新月力量的推动下，你就是无法取得进展，而日月食则是更好的推动力，因为它们能让事情发生。你也许可以拥有最完美的星相，但是如果没有新月，满月，或者日食，月食，你还是不得不去等待它们的发生。正当你想着自己不得不放弃的时候，你长久等待的消息就来到了，而且你将会准备好去庆祝它的到来。
9月27日的白羊座满月月食会将你的思绪带到这个月的另一大主题上——工作和事业。这次的食相将会是非常情绪化的，不过尽管如此，却还是有变得非常让人兴奋和正能量的可能。你将会看到事情的完结或者高潮。你现在收到的消息将会让你带着更大的安全感去计划。如果你一直以来都在为一个新的而且职位更高的工作面试的话，你也许现在能听到相关答复。或者，某位高级经理可能突然意外离开了公司。如果你一直在为争取某个客户的话，你将知道自己是否被这个项目选中。土星将会和这次的满月形成强有力和支持性的相位，这是新的而且为我们所欢迎的，尤其是如果你正在试图去让某个项目获得自己的资金支持和开启的时候。
这次的日食在白羊座，因此这预示着你会被卷入到一个有开创性质的项目里，也许是十分新而有先驱性质的。似乎之前没有人做过，因此它也许是十分高科技的，也许相关风险你已经在你的风险里解决，而且准备好去实施了。或者，这也许牵涉一项体育活动或者某些非常有竞争意义的事情——一切都是非常“白羊座”。而水星在9月17日到10月9日之间逆行的事实是一种警告，先不要签署约束性协议。等尘埃落定之后，想想你这个月都学到了些什么，然后再前进。
9月22日是你挣钱的最佳日期，可能是以一种突然的佣金或者销售的形式，当金星和天王星联合起来制造这方面火花的时候。把它标记成黄金幸运日！我知道你不能在水逆期间签合同，不过有人拿有你名字在上面的支票给你，就收下！做好准备迎接一些文书方面的小故障，努力去确保你陈述的事实一字不差。这天更适合有人拿着财务方面的邀约来找你，而不是你找别人，不过不管怎样，这天都是有关财务的大好日子。
这个月会不会给你爱情的机会呢？对于爱情的强调并不是特别多，因为你会非常忙碌。如果这个消息让你失望了的话，你要知道11月你的选择就会很多了，因此这个月顾好你的面试和旅行，为了一个特别棒的假期扫清障碍。记住，土星届时已经离开了你的真爱宫——现在闸门已经开启，你的心不会再有任何禁锢了。土星在2041年前都不会再回到你的爱情宫了，之后的几十年都不会了！可喜可贺！
摘要： 译者 兔子
你的旅行宫内聚集的能量预示着，你也许会在刚进入九月的时候就已经飞奔向机场去享受阳光和新鲜空气了。如果你能在9月第一周出游的话，选一个离水比较近的风景区，因为掌管海洋的海王星在这期间会很耀眼。近来你一直工作得尤其卖力，因此换换环境定会给你带来很大的好处。如果你需要一辆车的话，在九月的第一周买吧，因为水星很快就在9月17日到10月9日之间逆行了，不是一个很好的时间去买任何电子产品或者有活动零件的机械。
9月12-13日的新月日日食，将会带来另一个去旅行的理由，这次你可能去的是壮阔的山脉地区。如果你已经有了伴侣，你的另一半会很激动地和你一起去，出去玩的机会将会鼓舞到你们俩。金星和水星将会完美成相，因此你的旅行应该是十分顺利的，即使水星很快就要逆行了，而水逆期间一般而言生活都会趋向缓慢。记录好你的电子设备和小零碎，比如你的钱包，眼镜，太阳镜等等，给你的行李箱以及任何你要携带的大件物品贴上标签写上你的名字和联系方式。在离开某一地点前往下一个的时候，一定要确保带齐了所有东西——在水逆就要逆行的时候，怎么小心都不为过。到了9月23日和24日的时候，太阳和火星也将会进入你的旅行宫，预示着前往邻近城市的更多地旅行就在前方，这一趋势直到11月中旬都会让你高兴。
要留心你事业上的一些消息，很可能是和某一重要客户或者老板要发表离职声明有关。这一消息可能会出现在9月27日的白羊座月食日，或者附近的一个礼拜左右。尽管几乎所有的食相都会带来某种意料之外的消息，这次的日食将会得到坚实的土星和财务方面的冥王星的支持。也许起初你会咆哮“这次的食相简直是最糟的了！”放轻松，给它点时间——星相预示着你最终会同意这样一点，到最后改变确实是好事。
近来你的花销一直在持续上升，自从8月9日开始，不过花钱的势头会到9月第三个星期缓下来。你有充分的原因去为自己的事业和薪水前景感到兴奋。金星和火星将会在9月1-2号成合相，并且一起向天王星伸出橄榄枝，这预示着你将会获得一场突然的事业方面的胜利，给你带来一大笔现金流以及各种对你的称赞和表扬。太棒了！更多值得庆祝的事业上的消息很可能会在9月8日到来，届时火星会与天王星来场友好会谈，而9月22日这个日子也不错，那时候金星会独自去接触天王星。在9月你会有很多机会去在事业上好好表现——要充分利用它们！
9月23日适合去做出一个重要的决定或者协议，这期间的日子也适合去这么做，这多亏了太阳和土星的共同作用。
说到爱情，土星自从6月中旬以来都在你的爱情生活里搅局，不过好消息是在9月17日土星终于正式地离开了你的爱情宫，并直到2041年11月都不会再回来了。（是的，你没看错！）
在过去的三年里你在享受爱情美好这件事情上一直都遇到了很多困难。也许你的挑战来源于一场异地恋或者你的伴侣忙于攻读医学或者法律学位——而没时间陪你。或者，你的新伴侣仍然在法律意义上和另一个人在一起，或者被过去的情感经历所伤害，仍然不愿意在新关系里暴露自己的弱点。所有这些阻碍都将消失，要么是因为你找到了继续前行的力量，或者因为那一围绕你伴侣的境况将会改变和改善。土星就是来教会你人生的功课的——一旦土星离开了你的爱情宫，你就将明白自己其实是极其可爱的，也准备好再次去爱的。

旅行宫的巨大能量预示着你在九月初可能会搭乘飞机去享受阳光和新鲜空气。如果你在九月的第一周出行，请选择一个水边的地方，因为掌管大海的海王星的能量强大。你最近工作十分辛苦，所以换个环境对你而言大有裨益。如果你想买车，也请在第一周下手吧，因为水星将于9月17日至10月9日逆行，届时不利用购买任何电子产品或有移动部件的机械。
9月12-13日将发生日食和满月（译者：应为新月，疑为笔误），有给了你一个出行的理由，这次可以来一次奢华的名山游。如果你已有伴，那么你的另一半可能希望与你同行，这次同游的机会会让你们俩都精神焕发。 火星与水星相位良好，所以你们的旅程注定一帆风顺，连即将逆行的水星都影响不了你们（水逆期间生活节奏会放缓）。但请注意保管你们随身携带的小物件，如钱包、眼镜、墨镜等，在行李上和其它随行物品上贴好标签，写清姓名和电话号码。在离开某地时，请确保已带齐随身物品（水星逆行期间可千万别大意）。到9月23和24日，太阳和火星也将进入旅行宫，意味着会有更多拜访临近城市的机会，这一趋势将延续到11月中旬。
请关注职业方面的新消息，可能一个大客户或老板会离开。这可能会发生在白羊座月食（9月27日）的那周或随后一周。虽然所有蚀相都会带来某种意料之外的消息，这次的月食将得到土星和冥王星的支持。一开始你可能会抱怨“这真是一次差劲的月食！”请放轻松，耐心等待，你最终会发现这次的月食其实挺棒哦。
8月9日以来的这几周你一直花钱如流水，但到了9月的第三周，你的开销速度终于慢了下来。为你职业和薪水前景欢欣鼓舞吧。金星和火星将于9月1-2日合力，向天王星发出黄金记号，意味着你将突然笑傲职场，随着加薪而来的还有掌声和选举。太棒了！ 9月8日也将迎来事业方面的好消息，火星将与天王星对话；此外，9月22日时金星将与天王星圣诞，你有很多机会在9月大展身手，不要放过它们！
可在9月23日做出重要决定或签订协议，在太阳和土星的通力合作下，这份协议有效期很长。
爱情方面，土星自6月中旬以来就一直在真爱宫捣乱，好消息是土星终将于9月17日离开真爱宫，且2041年11月前不会再回来啦。（你没看错！）
在过去三年中，你在享受爱情时障碍重重。可能你不得不承受异地恋之殇，抑或你喜欢的人不得不为获得医学或法学学位而加班加点（因而无法陪伴你）。 再或者，你的新欢无法离开旧爱，要么沉浸在上一段恋情的悲痛中不愿进入一段新感情。所有这些障碍此时都将消失，可能是你自己获得力量向前看，可能是你的另一半的状况有所变化或改善。 土星总是生活的好老师，当土星离开时，你会发现自己非常惹人爱，也学会了如何去爱人。

Cancer Forecast for September 2015
By Susan Miller
As you began September, you may be fresh from having taken a stimulating week's vacation or business trip that was so enjoyable it felt like a holiday. The full moon of late last month, August 29, was in Pisces, a sweet spot for you, so the likelihood is that you enjoyed every moment away, especially in that you appear to have gone quite a distance. If you managed to be near water at least part of the time, you likely enjoyed it even more. That full moon reset your inner and outer view of the world and helped to dispel much of the tension you had been feeling lately. If you were not able to get away, you may have decided to be a tourist in your own city and take in the galleries, movies, Broadway shows, and other cultural offerings that gave you a chance to take a deep breath and let go.
The start of September will brim with phone calls, meetings, emails, texts, and negotiations, so you'll have to keep your wits about you. The pace will be quick, and with Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, protecting you and expanding all that you touch in the communication realm, you'll be excited by possibilities.
You are now moving into a new chapter, and being the highly intuitive soul that you are, you probably sensed this already. Jupiter will put an emphasis on this area until September 2016, so you are just at the very start of the unfolding of this trend.
You will need to work purposefully because Mercury is about to retrograde, September 17 to October 9, but you will have already started to feel the characteristic slowdowns, inability to get in touch with decision-makers, mixed communications, and forgetfulness that is the hallmark of Mercury retrograde periods. It is actually too late to sign papers now, but see if you can hold off until the end of October, or better, November, to do so. That may be impossible, but do the best you can. There are lots of wild cards in September, and you will need to see what comes up to make an informed decision. We will come back to Mercury retrograde again in a moment.
The theme of communication will be emphasized more vividly just after the new moon solar eclipse, September 12-13. This eclipse will be friendly and will open a door for you, so stay optimistic. Pluto will be very friendly, so it may mark a fresh start with a partner in business or love. It appears you will be traveling more than you have done all year during the coming weeks. In fact, you will be on the road so much so that if your car has been giving you problems, you may need a new car. (Don't do so while Mercury is retrograde, September 17 to October 9, for Mercury rules all moving parts in machines, and all electronics. It's never wise to buy an electronic item while Mercury is out of phase, as you will later likely regret your choice.) Watch September as a day you might have to suddenly travel by car, rail, or bus, and you'll be quite happy about the possibilities.
The emphasis on travel and communication will be no short-term trend - this one will be enduring, for this month's eclipse and the ones coming in 2016 and 2017 will continue to point to these themes. I assume your trips will be done for work, but that is not entirely clear. It is also possible that you may have been so powerfully held down by family obligations over the past several years that suddenly being released now from those responsibilities may have made you ready to spread your wings.
As if the emphasis on travel, negotiation, and communication weren't being underscored enough, Mars will enter this part of your chart on September 24, too, and remain there until November 12. This is the time you may be making most of your quick trips to nearby cities for your work. Mars is the natural ruler of your tenth house of fame and honors, so it appears you will be racking up impressive victories on your travels.
This month, alternatively, you may be working on a plan or project with your sister or brother, for your third house that will be so lit up also rules your siblings. If so, you will be in close communication with each other now and for months.
Speaking of communication, you may be asked to write, edit, proof, code, translate, memorize and deliver scripts, write courtroom opening and closing speeches, design an advertising campaign and be in charge of specific important advertising copy, be asked on a panel or TV game show, audition for a movie or commercial, be trained in improvisation, or do a voice over or other projects of this nature. When it comes to communication, you will be the most likely sign to be introduced to a new venue and to shine in it.
An eclipse will always move up your timetable, so no matter what you had planned previously, it is bound to change after what you learn in days that follow September 12-13. Saturn's position to the eclipse suggests that all you gain at this time will remain with you - you will be making inroads no matter if you reach your goal now or not. If you don't, you have time, as second chances are coming down the pike early next year.
In the meantime, against this activity in the foreground, Saturn is about to move out of Scorpio and into Sagittarius on September 17, to stay until December 2017. Saturn is, of course, the planet that readies us all for the taking on of mature responsibilities. Saturn will now leave your love sector, and that's good news, for you won't have the obstacles in finding love, or preserving love, that you may have had since October 2012, when Saturn first entered Scorpio.
If you had problems with conception - the number one question that comes up with friends and readers on Twitter - you will have reason for hope. By all means in late October or in the first half of November be ready to consult a fertility specialist.
In Sagittarius, Saturn will demand patience at work. You may have problems hiring people who would report to you, for the candidates will be slim pickings. Keep the resumes you receive on file for future use. Your projects will take longer to complete than you may suppose, and will likely cost more money than you will estimate. Be kind to yourself and give yourself a bit of elasticity of time and money whenever you submit estimates. You will work very hard, but what you win with Saturn will remain with you for years, possibly forever.
If you are part of a three-way bid, this will put you in a bit of a bind, for you can't bid more the costs of the others. If you are in a situation where you can get the money later if you can show cause, then play the bid tighter. I was able to do that when I worked as an agent in the commercial photography business and knew my competitors were deliberately underbidding me to capture the job. I would explain to the art buyer at the ad agency that if I artificially lowered my bid on the onset, I would have to come back and get more money approved later. Oddly, if the agency wants your photographer, they will agree to be open to approving funds later if you can show cause. Being the low bid may be the only way your client will sign off on your company for the job, as a matter of company policy.
We all do the same thing for a living - we know what costs should be - so the ad agency knew I was being truthful and realistic, but oddly I would be lose out if my estimates were on target and accurate at the onset. It all seemed so weird to me. However, the ad agency knew what market prices were, and if they truly wanted my photographer, they would almost guarantee to me without coming out and saying so that the extra money would be approved later when we needed it and showed cause. I always got those approvals.
In situations like those, it all comes down to mutual trust that will ultimately rest on the reputation you earned. Do what you need to do. With Mercury about to retrograde, there will almost always be revisions on all that you are doing in the coming three-and-a-half weeks. Stay confident and take one day at a time.
Mercury will retrograde in Libra, in your fourth house of home and family, so you may be working on your house or an apartment, or an estate that you recently inherited from a family member, and perhaps you will need to do repairs or maintenance. Or, you may be clearing out clutter in your garage, or if you live in the city, your closets. You may come across valuable treasures that you forgot you have or thought were lost forever. I love that part of reorganizing closets, for you are sure to find interesting items, some that may make you sentimental. Boxes of old photographs always do that for me, and I am drawn to them, to linger over them to find tiny details in the background that may hint at the year they were taken and clues to the culture of the times.
If you have older relatives, interview them this month. Ask about your mother's childhood in the city you grew up in, or that she did. You will learn fascinating facts about history in general from a person who personally lived through famous moments, and you will also learn about your mother or father when they were little. At times those stories will be revealing of each relative's personality, talents, and interests. The stories may turn out to be funny, insightful, and a revelation to you, or a little sad, but each will become a window into your relative's personality.
I always marveled at how close my mother was to my father's three sisters, my three loving aunts. I had thought, gee, she was German American, brought into a family that was completely Italian American, and yet was accepted by my grandmother and aunts as one of their own. My father's side of the family had bought a walkup brownstone in Manhattan where we lived, so my sister and I, along with my mother and father, were living on the second floor and my father's family only one flight up, on the third floor. That's close quarters.
Then, just after Little Mom died, my sister handed me an 8x10 photograph of my mother and my three aunts. They were all in cute little one-piece bathing suits on Coney Island beach in the late 1950s. I was not born yet, for my parents weren't married yet. I was struck that they were all the same size and height, all holding one another around the waist and smiling brightly.
Suddenly I understood. My mother had married into a loving, welcoming family with three sisters who adored my mother, and they instantly became her sisters in a way. They were all about the same age, with the same values and similar interests, and must have had much in common. It must have been a little like moving into a sorority. My mother was new to New York City, but being married to my father and being with his family brought such warmth for her. Her love for my father's family never wavered.
I was the first baby to be born into the family later, so here I was with three adorable, doting young aunts who were all single, and a loving mother. I had all the attention I could ever need as a young child, say, with my homework or when younger, to have someone read a storybook to me. All of a sudden, that one photo clarified everything to me. You may have a similar eureka moment.
I had another enlightenment. I never had the "Who am I?" phase when I was a young teenager, and always wondered why my friends were going through that but not me. I was solid as a rock inside, always feeling my strong core, and have always remained that way to this day. I was so fortunate to be born into a stable, loving little nest that gave me a strong sense of security. I never realized how fortunate I was to have that - I thought everyone did. Of course, little children don't know any better, and not until later do you see how others grew up. Do you see how much you can learn from one black-and-white photograph? Start looking, and you too will be amazed!
Interview your relatives soon, while you can. Each relative you interview will be so flattered that you are interested in learning more, and the bond between you will grow stronger. Or, you may decide to do fun research on your family tree, perhaps on a site that explores family history.
If you feel there has always been a family mystery, or if you always hoped to find your biological parent because you were adopted, this would be the time to try again to discover one another. These are all perfect activities to do while Mercury is retrograde, for Mercury, the intellectual planet, will want you to turn back to the past to find closure on something you've always been eager to find out about.
Generally, solar eclipses like the September 12-13 are kind, and they open surprising, often sudden, opportunities. Or, if something has been lagging, and you were ready to give up, an eclipse will often bring a breakthrough if it touches a natal planet, Sun, or moon in your chart. You simply cannot get progress without the push of a new moon, or better yet, a solar or lunar eclipse, because they make things happen. You can have the finest aspects, but without a new moon, full moon, or lunar or solar eclipse, you have to wait for one. Just when you thought you had to give up, in comes the news you had awaited and you'll be ready to celebrate.
The September 27 full moon lunar eclipse in Aries will bring your mind back to the other theme of the month - work and career. This eclipse will be more emotional, but nevertheless, does have the potential to be quite exciting and positive. You will see something end or culminate. The news you get now will let you plan with greater certainty. If you have been interviewing for a new, high status position, you may now hear the answer. Or, a top manager may suddenly leave the company unexpectedly. If you have been pitching a client, you will find out if you were chosen for the project. Saturn will be in strong, supportive position to this full moon, and that's new and welcome, especially if you are trying to get a particular project funded and started on its way.
The eclipse will be in Aries, so this points to your being involved in an entrepreneurial project that would be quite new and pioneering. It seems this has not been done before, so it may very high-tech, perhaps with risk that you've worked through in your analysis and are ready to do. Or, it may involve producing an athletic event or something highly competitive - all very "Aries." The fact that Mercury will still be retrograde September 17 to October 9 is a caution not to make a binding agreement just yet. Let the dust settle, think about what you learn this month, and then move forward.
Your very best day for earning more money, say in a sudden fee or sale, will be September 22, when Venus and Uranus collaborate in a sparkling way. Circle it in gold! I know you should not sign papers when Mercury is retrograde, but if someone is waving a solid check with your name on it, take it. Be prepared for paperwork glitches, and work hard to make sure you are fastidiously accurate with every fact you present. It's better if someone comes to you with a financial offer than the other way round, but nevertheless, this day should make you smile when it comes to money.
Will this month give you a chance for romance? There is not a lot of emphasis on love, as you will be very busy. If this news disappoints you, know that November should bring lots of options, so take care of all your career interviews and travel this month, and clear the decks for a brilliant holiday time. Remember, too, old Saturn has left your house of true love - now the floodgates are open, and you don't be limited in matters of the heart anymore. Saturn won't be back in your romance sector until 2041, decades from now. Rejoice!
Summary
Lots of cosmic energy in your travel house suggests you'll be heading to the airport as you enter September to enjoy sunshine and fresh air. If you can go in the first week, choose a scenic spot near water, for Neptune, ruling the sea, will be quite prominent. You've been working exceptionally hard lately, so a change of scene would do you a world of good. If you need a car, buy it in the first week, as Mercury is about to go retrograde September 17 to October 9, not a good time to acquire any electronic product or machine with moving parts.
The solar eclipse of September 12-13, a full moon, will bring another reason to travel, this time more likely to a sumptuous mountain range. If attached, your partner will be enthusiastic about going with you, and the chance to get out of town will invigorate you both. Venus and Mercury will be beautifully oriented, so your travels should be smooth, even though Mercury is about to go retrograde, a time when life in general tends to slow down. Keep track of your devices and small items like your wallet, eyeglasses, sunglasses, and so forth, and label your suitcase and other items you may be carrying with you with your name and phone number. Before leaving one venue for another, make sure you have everything with you - you cannot be too deliberate when Mercury is about to retrograde. By September 23 and 24, the Sun and Mars will move into your travel sector too, indicating even MORE travel to nearby cities is ahead, a trend that will delight you until mid-November.
Watch for news in your career, possibly concerning a major client or boss set to announce a departure. This could occur on or within a week of the total eclipse of the moon, in Aries, September 27. Although almost all eclipses send unexpected news of some sort, this eclipse will get the support from grounded Saturn and financial Pluto. Although you may at first proclaim, "This eclipse is the worst!" relax, and give it time - aspects suggest that you will eventually agree that, in the end, change is good.
Your spending has increased in recent weeks, since August 9, but the flow of money out of your checking account will slow down by the third week of September. You have ample reason to be excited about your career and salary prospects. Venus and Mars will join forces on September 1-2, and both will send a golden beam to Uranus, suggesting you will score a sudden career victory that will bring you an influx of cash along with flattering applause and praise. Yay! More celebratory career news is likely on September 8, when Mars will enter conversation with Uranus and, on September 22 when Venus contacts Uranus on her own. You have many opportunities to do well professionally in September - take full advantage!
Make an important decision or agreement on September 23, and it will remain in place nearly forever, thanks to the Sun and Saturn in cahoots.
In terms of love, Saturn has been putting the monkey wrench in your love life since mid-June, but the good news is that Saturn will finally depart from your love sector on September 17, not to return until November 2041. (That is not a typo!)
Over the past three years you may have encountered many obstacles in regard to enjoying love. Perhaps you were challenged by meeting only romantic interests based in a city geographically far from you, or were in love with a partner studying around the clock for a medical or law degree - and unavailable for that reason. Or, your new partner may still be technically involved with someone else, or hurt by a previous relationship and still not willing to become vulnerable emotionally in a new union. All these obstacles will now melt away, either because you have found the strength to move on, or because the situation surrounding your partner will change and improve. Saturn was teaching you life lessons - you will see that you are infinitely lovable, and ready to love again once Saturn leaves.
