STARGAZING – YOUR WEEKLY FORECAST
Week of September 17th – September 23rd, 2012
WEEKLY UPDATE
September 2012 looks like a nice flowing month, except for the weather disturbances. The only real intensity is during the third week leading up to the Fall Equinox where there is plenty to focus on, work through, and talk about. Join my Subscription Pages for details.
This week we sense that we must be ready to jump at the possibility of change. We seem confused by alternating waves of certainty and doubt as mental Mercury prompts us to speak without thinking. Although our perceptions are sharp, boundaries are fuzzy. Do not make any rash or long-lasting decisions as feisty Mars as casts a fire under you. You know that it’s time to — so get moving, but nothing is being presented!
It’s time to make changes to your lifestyle! But since you surely know that change is the one constant in life, what makes this time different from the others? That’s easy: Virgo. More specifically, the New Moon in Virgo on September 16th! Any New Moon wants to help you develop an idea that can grow and grow. But far too often, new ideas never really go anywhere. However, Virgo, that nitpicky, detail-oriented, practical-to-a-fault sign simply can’t stand it when a project runs aground for any reason. And since Virgo also doesn’t think much of unrealistic dreams, you’ll avoid all things fanciful and impractical during this next week. Instead, you’ll find yourself drawn to realistic plans that will not only improve your way of life, but by removing some of the stress, your health as well!
Also on September 16th, Mercury moved into Libra, at which point the quick-witted, fast-thinking planet ran headlong into Libra’s slow and cautious deliberations. In the end, at the fall Equinox on the 22nd, you’ll come to fair and just conclusions; but if you’re not careful, you could lose valuable time trying to make the right decision.
Then, on September 17th, Pluto goes direct in Capricorn. This will be a subtle shift, as Pluto’s transformational powers will work in agonizingly slow fashion, bringing meaningful changes to your financial and career aspirations, as well as larger political situations around the world.
Pluto turns direct on September 18th, a development indicating that this outer planet will at least be in a more positive mood than in recent months. But Pluto’s brighter outlook will be immediately tested midweek, on September 19th, as the Uranus-Pluto square becomes exact for the second time this year. This aspect represents a time of major change and disruption, and you’ll find that the tighter you cling to something that needs to change, the more difficult your day-to-day life will become.
Fortunately, the Sun moves into fair-minded Libra on September 22nd, lightening the mood a bit. The Sun also connects with the tempestuous Uranus-Pluto square on September 22nd, but elegant Libra will help soften the blow. The energies are cautioning us to prepare for change. How big of change? Monumental — and this time, it’s personal.
With massive political and economic restructuring ahead of us, it’s easy to feel helpless about the fate of our future. But believe it or not, this Uranus-Pluto energy has proven throughout history to be a catalyst for radical change — GOOD CHANGE. How, and in what area of our life—simple—at the individual level. We throw out the old ideas and attachments we’ve developed in the past and begin building new ones, one day at a time. Each of us needs to control the things in our immediate world and make our own choices.
Even though Pluto just turned direct on the 17th, it’s already set to take the next significant step in its three-year cosmic dance with Uranus! Although Pluto and Uranus form an exact square on September 19th, these two planets are so powerful that the upheaval this alignment brings likely began for you several days beforehand. Any chaos you’ve recently experienced yourself, or any you’ve seen in the news, can likely be attributed to Pluto and Uranus. By the same token, this means that by the time these two planets do form their perfect square, you’ll have already survived its most challenging aspects!
However, on the following day, September 20th, Mercury finds itself opposing both Pluto and Uranus. Tongues will certainly wag, and there’ll be no avoiding serious intensity, opinions, and passion throughout this charged day! It’s the eve of the Fall Equinox as well, bringing in a strong, focused energy.
You can sigh with relief as September 21st brings a welcome respite when vivacious Venus pairs with jolly Jupiter to smooth over any rough edges. Then, on September 22nd, the Sun moves into fair-minded Libra. As an Air Sign, Libra is not terribly inclined toward acting emotionally. However, the sign of the Scales does adore partnerships, so this is an excellent time to work toward improving all your relationships!
I have added insight into your money, sign by sign, for the Fall of 2012, covering the period between the autumn equinox on September 22nd and the winter solstice on December 21st. Despite what you may have read, December 21st is the beginning of winter and absolutely not the end of the world. I am having a Christmas Party that night, and it promises to be a wonderful time with dear friends.
So what transits, among many, will have an impact on your money? There are a couple of eclipses; A solar on November 13th and a lunar on November 18th. Mercury retrogrades in Sagittarius on Election Day, November 6th through the 26th, and Saturn makes a move into Scorpio on October 5th.
Money’s funny, since it makes the world go ‘round. It touches almost every house in your astrological chart, but the Second House concerns money earned and attitudes towards money, and the Eighth House is all about taxes, inheritances, and money you share with a partner. Let’s take a look at your relationship with money this fall of 2012. For a full, personal projection, order a reading at the Psychic Services tab above.

Your Love Week—Air Signs: You could feel deep rumblings of change going on underneath the surface this week; a disruptive Uranus-Pluto square is zapped by mouthy Mercury on Thursday, possibly sparking a sudden crisis or dropping a surprise in your lap. Yet if you remain positive and open-minded, life-changing breakthroughs are possible. Conversations could be intense on Thursday when the verbal planet Mercury crashes into explosive Uranus and suspicious Pluto. It’s easy to touch a nerve with a careless word or to feel put down by someone’s unkind comment. The temptation to react strongly might be difficult to avoid. That’s fine if you’re willing to shake the core of your present relationship or radically alter your ideas about what you must do to find a new one.

You can unearth hidden resources, resolve mysteries, and discover new ways to express your creativity. Just remember to honor the emotions in your heart as much as you honor the brilliant thoughts running through your head. The Sun’s shift into Libra on Saturday is bound to boost your spirits, Air Signs. Having more drive, confidence and energy empowers you to take the lead in relationships.
