Starscope: September / October 2004

For all signs: The energy of this time period will be about self discovery and healing. September is usually associated with Virgo, "discrimination", and October with the sign of Libra, relationship. This is the time period to take responsibility to heal and change the self to be able to interact in a healthy manner with others.

With current world conditions, this is a critical issue. We are seeing increasing conflict in the outer world from the "We versus Them" attitude that forms within a negative Leo model. Unfortunately this idea is fostered within the small peer communities as team spirit. But, when this idea of polarity continues without "discrimination," then "friendly rivalry" escalates to global war with those who are not seen as the same. To move into personal healing and healthy relationships, the task of this time period, it is necessary to know that deep within is the personal courage and stamina, the positive traits of Leo. Healing the world is done one person at a time. We must first start with ourselves and have the wisdom and strength to seek relationships that will maintain personal health and integrity.

Personal Sun and Ascendant Messages:

For individual signs: (See birth date period in parenthesis)

^Aries (March 21 - April 20) Aries needs to look within for patterns of interaction with others on a day to day level. The chase is exciting, but then relationships feel like there is always need for adjustment. You are only attracting what your inner self feels it needs.

_Taurus (April 21 - May 20) Making change is difficult for Taurus, especially when it requires resisting what others have set as guidelines for you to do and think. Oxen can get into a rut looking at the well trod path and miss the beauty and freedom around them.

`Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Your supposed vacillation comes from absorbing conflicting beliefs. Personal discrimination helps to focus and find who you are and what you personally believe and then to express who you really are to others.

aCancer  (June 22 - July 22)  Family beliefs often linger in Cancer because of emotional attachment to the people not the idea. There is fear of offending and hurting others as well as fear of being removed from your roots. Not expressing who you are creates confusion for a potential mate, difficulty separating you and your values from your family.

bLeo (July 23 - August 22) This is a time period for Leo to summon up the courage of their inner Lion, honestly face the image they have been projecting to the world, and heal the personal traits that interfere with healthy relationships.

cVirgo (August 23 - September 22)  Virgo needs at this time to see if they are honestly accessing themselves and actively working on self healing and self parenting. Complaining about traits of others is projecting personal shadow parts that you have been avoiding.

dLibra (September 23 - October 23)  Whether a Libra is the balanced type or the fluctuating indecisive kind depends on the amount and quality of Virgo internal self evaluation that has been accomplished. Relationships will tend to mirror, not supplement any personal weaknesses.

eScorpio (October 24 - November 22) Your friends and personal member organizations will provide you with clues to traits and doctrines that you may have unconsciously accepted. Do you really agree with what is being said and promoted?

fSagittarius (November 23 - December 21) You tend to seek acceptance and support of consensus groups and promote their doctrine, sometimes without carefully reviewing and consciously accepting their values. You have the charisma to influence others. Are you promoting healthy interactions or separation?

gCapricorn (December 22 - January 20) You may be more influenced than you think by those you hold as authorities or teachers. You are good at planning and organizing, but may be basing choices on false assumptions. Life is full of opinions; truth is the "needle in the haystack."

hAquarius  (January 21 - February 18) Finding your personal truth requires listening to many opinions, not just those you consider friends. It is difficult to change your mind once made up, so stay in an information gathering process. Be willing to listen in your relationships and practice hearing all the other is trying to say before creating a response in your mind.

iPisces  (February 19 - March 20) This is a period of listening and adjusting to the needs of others. Your soaring mind often frustrates the significant other who is trying to explain the details of their attempted communication with you. You may be overlooking significant information needed to establish a healthy relationship.
