Welcome to your forecast for September. It’s an emotional month...but honestly, that’s no reason to hurl the wok at someone. At best, it’s an expansive month...but only if you pamper yourself.

September 11: Venus aligns with Mars. Perfect for romance, bonding, friendships, and scoring a new job simply by fronting up in a red dress or stylish suit and smiling electrically.

September 12: Full moon in Pisces. How sensitive can you possibly feel and still get through the day? Weeping to release the past is in, but beating yourself up about the past is definitely out. Knowing the difference is an art we will all be practicing around this date. Go easy on yourself if you still have your spiritual trainer wheels on.

September 17: Pluto turns direct in Capricorn. Generally speaking, ambitions feel more achievable and emotions feel less intense. Great for Capricorns and those of you who have volunteered - for some good reason known only to yourself - to live with a Capricorn in a massive state of confusion. (Common right now)

September 23: Spring Equinox - Sun moves into Libra. Equinoxes are powerful days for prayers, meditation, affirmations and clarifying your goals. But Mercury and Venus join the sun in Libra during the second half of September, and they are all horribly aggravated by Uranus over in Aries AND Pluto in Capricorn. There are a lot of clashing forces here; meaning clarity could be hard to come by.

Here’s a cosmic clue about handling these powerful energies: events and/or people in your life that infuriate you right now are actually a mirror of your inner frustration. You know things need a massive overhaul on the global scale...but you may not be so certain about what to do next in your personal life. For the rest of this month, act like a Libran. Pamper yourself as much as possible, and only play with people who treat you sweetly. Think serenity, uplifting music, and lots of treats.

September 24: Saturn aligns with the Destiny Point. Around this date be pro-active, because this alignment responds fabulously to gi-normous ideas about your own incredible potential. And you know what?  It’s all true!

You are a genius and you are still allowed to think big even though it’s a push-me-pull-you sort of month. This is what Uranus in Aries is trying to tell you (every day till 2018!). While you’re at it, choose to believe that the entire human race is a species of genius capable of reinventing itself in wonderful ways. Your beliefs count.

September 27: New Moon in Libra. We usually love to meditate on the day of the new moon because it’s such a pristine vibe, but you may feel less like doing that and more like hurling a wok of half-cooked Thai lemon chicken at your nearest and dearest. Cosmic clue: ignore anyone who doesn’t recognise that streak of genius in your aura. For goddess sake, I CAN SEE IT FROM HERE!
