Love is in full bloom when a quartet of romantic Libra influences – the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars – converge on September 1, 2008 to energize relationships. Even better, Mercury, Venus and Mars continue their Libra dance through Septemeber 22. That means there will be a tremendous emphasis on relationships, cooperation, equality, peace and beauty.
This makes it an exceptionally good time for creating something beautiful, negotiating for what you want and expressing what’s in your heart. Jupiter, however, can cause some excesses in activities, spending and even opinions, when it collides with the Libra trio on September 6 and 9.
Moving forward – finally!
Jupiter turns direct on September 7, which will help move projects forward and accelerate expansion, especially pertaining to business. And after five months of being retrograde, Pluto turns direct on September 8, which will accelerate and transform projects that were placed on hold in the spring.
Recipe for success
Luck, inspiration and hard work converge to create success during the Jupiter-Saturn trine from September through early December. This influence can help build a solid foundation in love or work, especially for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.
Moon magic
On September 15, the Harvest (Full) Moon will be an enormous globe of light in the sky. It reminds us to be thankful for the blessings we’ve “harvested” during the year. Also, psychic energy will be especially strong, so pay attention to your dreams and intuition.
The Autumnal Equinox on September 22, which heralds the change of seasons, and the New Moon in Libra on the 29 th , add to the cosmic aura of love, peace and cooperation. The New Moon particularly brings a new cycle.
Mercury retrograde
Mercury is retrograde from September 24 – October 14, so be on the lookout for communication and paperwork snafus. Double-check your plans and, if at all possible, delay the start of projects until Mercury turns direct on October 15.
