September 2018 will see some major planetary movements that will bring opportunities for self-reflection and self-development.

At the start of the month (September 6^th) Saturn turns direct in Capricorn, and then later in the month (September 30^th) Pluto will also turn direct in Capricorn; both planets have been in retrograde since April. These movements suggest that September is a good time to focus on your place in society and your public reputation. Don’t be afraid to put yourself forward for opportunities that will put you in the spotlight. But September is also not a time to put your reputation at risk. Maintain your integrity at all times. Negative actions and words rarely stay secret for long.

The New Moon will appear in Virgo at the start of the month (September 9^th), and the Full Moon in Aries (September 25^th) at it’s close. 

The moon’s passage through Virgo brings an opportunity to find clarity about challenges as Virgo’s analytical skills are heightened for all the signs. Embrace this new clarity of vision even if it shows you something difficult – remember that some things must be let go in order to make space for new opportunities. Astro Numerology says these new opportunities may present themselves when the Full Moon rises in Aries later in the month. If you see your opportunity, don’t hesitate, go with your gut and take it by the horns.

Venus will enter Scorpio (September 9^th) early in the month, perhaps bringing with it things that will cause you to feel intense jealousy within a relationship. This is a time to remember that no one is perfect, and not to judge while your thoughts are clouded by jealousy. Also remember that you cannot make someone else be the person you want them to be, you can only work on yourself to be the person that you want to be.

At the start of the month (September 6^th) Mercury will move into Virgo, before moving into Libra (September 22^nd). The Sun will also enter Libra (September 23^rd) near the end of the month. 

Mercury's passage through Virgo will provide you with attention to detail. Use this to celebrate the wonders of life, and not to dissect small problems, transforming them into larger ones. As Mercury moves into Libra remember to be diplomatic in all your relationships and that your words can sting. Avoid the urge to use your words as weapons.

Meanwhile, as the sun enters Libra, this is an opportunity for you to heal relationships that might be feeling fractured. Remember to be honest and open – you can not expect someone to be vulnerable with you if you cannot open yourself up in the same way. All this action in Libra will also stimulate your artistic side. Take the opportunity to discover what you are capable of.

·         Aries, you will have a lot of energy – use it wisely.

·         Capricorn, work on your relationships and don’t be afraid to share your thoughts, they will be welcome.

·         Aquarius, while you may recently have lacked clarity, September will bring you a new focus on your goals and priorities.
