This will be an extraordinary month to be a Pisces. On September 1-2, Venus and Leo will have a rare meeting in your sixth house of work assignments, suggesting that a new, lucrative project will come up to have you show off your talents in a new and very effective way. Mars will remain in this area until September 24, so with Mars stirring the pot, you are likely to have more than enough projects to keep you motivated and your cash flow strong.

Much of the action in your chart will also focus on your impending commitment to someone you hold dear, and the joy in coming together must be sweet. In the last week of August, you experienced a full moon in Pisces (August 29), and while it brought important news about a matter that is close to your heart, Pisces with birthdays that fall at the end of February received a double dip of pleasure.

The solar eclipse, a new moon, will arrive in your opposite sign of Virgo, on September 12-13, another indication that you may feel ready to get engaged or wed - talks will come up in the days to follow. Neptune, your ruler, will partner with Jupiter, so you are likely to feel very inspired, in love, or you may feel excited about your work on a new creative project (or both).

Still, be careful in terms of making a binding commitment just yet, for Mercury, ruling contracts, will inch toward a direct opposition to Uranus, the planet of unpredictable events. Mercury will be retrograde from September 17 to October 9, making that period a bad time to sign on the dotted line. Marriage is a contract just like any other serious commitment, so if possible, wait to wed until the full moon in Taurus, October 27.

While it will not be a time to make firm commitments, it will be fine to talk and to pencil in plans. Do not send deposits or buy airline tickets - you will need to change those arrangements later, and that could prove costly. Mercury will retrograde in your financial sector, another reason to hold off on purchases, especially for electronic items or appliances, or a machine with moving parts, like a car.

Your finances will be emphasized again at the full moon lunar eclipse in Aries on September 27. You've been through difficult eclipses, but this one is a kind one, with support from both Saturn in your house of professional honors - suggesting you are about to be rewarded with an increase in earned income - and Pluto, indicating a well-connected friend may tell you about a new opportunity that you would never have been able to uncover without your friend's help.

Venus rules your eighth house of other people's money, covering debt, taxes, mortgage, venture capital, and other such funding. Venus has been retrograde since July 25, but will turn direct now, on September 6. This is another bit of proof that the eclipse at month's end will be in a far better position to help you increase your income or get funding to launch a big project. This is but further evidence that when it comes to money, your outlook continues to look up. Stay the course, dear Pisces.
