Starscope: September / October 2006

Message for all signs: September and October are primarily the astrological signs of Virgo and Libra. As developmental stages these signs relate to adolescence. Issues of individualization (Virgo) must first be accomplished before moving into equal healthy relationships (Libra). This is a time to examine all the beliefs you may be carrying that were instilled by parents and other authority figures. This is a time to decide what is truth for you. Your beliefs might be just a consensus dogma of other people and no longer relate to your current world. Health issues are directly related to Virgo as physical manifestations of inner emotional discomfort with yourself, your environment and your relationships.

There is a connection between Astrology and Feng Shui. The condition of the back right corner of each room and the whole house is related to Virgo / Libra issues. This area also extends into the back patio and yard. Take a look at the condition of these areas. See what they say to you and others about your true inner picture of yourself and your ability to enter into a personal relationship with another. Use some of your time this month to organize and make this area feel more comfortable to you. The process may help you to think of solutions to your health, self esteem and relationship issues.

Personal Sun and Ascendant Messages
(See birth date period in parenthesis)

Aries (March 21 - April 20) September and October are both a time of adjustment. Refusal to shift can lead to stress and possible health issues. Communication is important to achieve a balance.

Taurus (April 21 - May 20) Relationships with children, lovers, co-workers will all possibly demand attention during this time period. Try to also make time for rest and personal creative projects. Exhaustion could lead to health issues in October.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Attention can be drawn to your home, children and your family of origin during this time. Check for a correspondence between the way you relate to others and how you were treated as a child. Allow yourself to do something you always wanted to do, but were discouraged by your parents or teachers.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Watch your communication style during September; sometimes your suggestions may be viewed as criticism. This is a good time to focus on organizing and decorating all of your personal spaces.

Leo (July 23 - August 22) Both months should start to feel like you are getting your life under your own control once again. Continue to practice saying the word “NO” to the potentially disruptive people you most likely have drawn into your life the past few years. Look for those personality traits within yourself and heal them as well.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Life will be teaching you to adjust to the unexpected during the next few years. Others will be pointing out areas where you may have accepted beliefs that are not actually true for everyone and most likely not that helpful to you either. Try to focus on a broader picture to understand what may be confusing to you.

Libra (September 23 - October 23) This is an important time for you to consciously balance organized tasks with planned time for yourself. This will allow you to recharge your own inner battery and prevent mood swings from too many outer demands.

Scorpio (October 24 - November 22) September should be a good time to visit with friends and get a sense of what you might actually like to receive yourself from any career choice. Pull back as much as you can in October. It is a good time to clean out closets and get in touch with your own self-sabotage tendencies.

Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21) For all Sagittarians this has been a decade calling for personal transformation. Those lagging behind are starting to feel the pressure to make major changes. These months are key to the identification of details to what might help you step into more personal empowerment.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20) September provides opportunity to work with others on the details to achieve a personal life goal. Prepare for challenges and hard work before it may feel ready for completion in November.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 18) This has been a confusing decade for Aquarius, trying to balance your ideals with some unpleasant realties. It may be important for you to analyze your beliefs and expectations and decide if they are really yours or just another dogma in new age form.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Working with others to determine shared interests and values will be important both months. It is important to communicate and not expect that others know what you are thinking or that you know what they might say.
