I have exciting news! I will do personal chart readings in the garden of the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles from September 7 through 14, 2018. I live in New York City and have been traveling to LA almost every month for several years. I have always stayed at this particular Four Seasons Hotel because it is my favorite – I call it my little piece of heaven. When I stay there, I feel like I’m home.

I love the meditation by Deepak Chopra that’s on the TV in my room, for it starts my day in a soothing, calm way. The Four Seasons’ Spa is exceptionally beautiful. I am a fan of their sensuous facials and massages.

The past two months have been quite a workout for you. You have come through three eclipses on July 12, July 27, and August 11, and if any one of the three touched the degrees of a natal planet in your chart, you had to make strenuous adjustments. You also may have struggled with Mars and your ruling planet, Mercury, in retrograde, adding delays, and had to address unexpected obstacles. How to handle all that was thrown at you became your meditation, and you may have changed your mind more than once about the best way to go.

In comparison, September could become your oasis of calm. This month has a number of days that sparkle like jewels, so you soon could be nearing a breakthrough at work, at home, or in love. From the start, you will see a much needed change from the intensity of the past months. Your projects will move along faster, and you will be gratified by the responsiveness of others.

Think back to the last week of August. You have just experienced the most important career full moon of the year, August 26, in Pisces, three degrees. That full moon was one of the most helpful of 2018, so as you enter September, you may be feeling confident that your contributions will be valued. You may have agreed to a final plan or received closure on an important project. Alternatively, you could have been offered a new position. You had a trifecta of planets helping you, namely Saturn, Uranus, and Mars – quite a hefty line up of assistance – so results had to have made you smile.

Ever since taskmaster planet Saturn settled in your eighth house of other people’s money on December 19, 2017, Saturn has been giving you a cosmic MBA. Saturn went retrograde on April 17, so until now, it may have been hard to see progress on certain complex financial matters. These are some examples, but you will get the idea if you applied for a mortgage, bank loan, infusion of venture capital, or if you were trying to sort out an inheritance, you will finally see matters move forward once Saturn moves direct on September 6. Saturn will not retrograde again until April 29 of next year.

The darling new moon, in Virgo, 17 degrees, will arrive on September 9. It will be chock full of opportunities for home- and family-related matters. If you have been hoping to buy, sell, or rent a new residence or other property, such as a vacation cottage, this new moon will be your friend and help you make that plan happen.

New moons set off a very strong influence for ten days after they appear, with the strongest energy coming immediately after the new moon appears. Remarkably, this month the Sun and new moon on September 9 will both signal Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, indicating you may be invited to interview for a new job. If self-employed, the prestigious client you’ve been developing for months will likely come in with an order. Whenever Jupiter is involved, it almost always triggers exciting news that a generous sum of money is on the way.

By September 11, we come to the very best part of the month. In a rare aspect, the Sun will signal Jupiter in a trine position (the most harmonious possible aspect), indicating your communication skills will be in high demand. This would be a perfect day to sign a contract – in fact it would be one of the best days of the year to sign. This also suggests that a trip that you take onSeptember 11 could result in an excellent business deal.

    September 11 could bring an exciting five-star day, when the Sun and Jupiter will be in sync. Open or, conversely, conclude talks on a lucrative business deal – you could make enormous profits on this one. Aim to sign papers on this glorious day, too.

On this same day, September 11, Pluto will also receive a signal from the Sun by sextile (an aspect of opportunity), suggesting that discussions about a financial deal will not be based on a flat fee but rather on performance-based compensation, such as through commission, royalty, licensing fee, or bonuses, as some examples. Talks about loans, a mortgage, venture capital, and other such funding will also be favored. Both Jupiter and Pluto will be speaking directly with the Sun, so it’s clear that VIPs will view you with favor.

Wait! There is MORE! Additionally, on September 11, Jupiter and Pluto will be in contact not only with the mighty Sun, but also with each other. This is a reliable signature of success in any horoscope. If there is ANY way you could sign a contract on September 11, do! Jupiter brings good fortune, and Pluto brings transformation. Pluto will take the goodness of Jupiter and multiply it many times over. If you are offered a deal or a price to buy or sell property (or anything else), the deal offered on September 11 is likely to be the best you will get. Subsequent deals won’t be any better than the ones you get on this day, and could be substantially less.

All though September, Mercury, your ruler, will be a virtual Chatty Cathy, meeting and greeting some of the most important planets in our solar system. Mercury is your ruling planet, so he carries extra weight in your chart, and when Mercury makes an effort to speak with different planets, this is vital to note. Mercury is moving direct now, having been retrograde for three weeks from July 25, and turned direct on August 18. It always takes Mercury a little time to regulate his orbit, but he will be in fine form throughout September and not go retrograde again until November 16 to December 6. Now, let’s see which planets Mercury will be meeting with and when, and how you can use the energy Mercury is creating for your own benefit. Here I will rewind the tape and start chronologically from the top of the month.

On September 7, Mercury will speak with Uranus in Taurus about a home, property, or family matter, and with Uranus involved, news will come to you out of left field, and it will likely be very happy news! This will also be a day to brainstorm for innovative ideas – the ideas will surface from the depth of your subconscious.

Next, Mercury will speak with Pluto on September 15, a day when your efforts to find a hidden pipeline could pay off. This is a Saturday, but you will also feel the energy of this a day earlier, on September 14. If someone is hiding money from you that is rightfully yours, this is your day to dig around to find out what you are not being told.

On Sunday, September 16, you will have the most spectacular day of all. Mercury will speak with Jupiter on your behalf and may bring thrilling news about an assignment that, if you do well, will bring you greater salary down the road. If you are self-employed, new business will likely come in by Friday, September 14. September 16 would be the perfect day to sign a contract or shake hands on a deal. In astrology, a verbal agreement is the same as one that you sign. This would also be a heavenly weekend, September 15-16, to take an overnight trip into the country.

Lastly, on September 23, Mercury will team up with Mars, in Aquarius, and bring news about a ninth house matter. One of the following areas will shine for you: It could be a matter having to do with your pursuit for an advanced college degree, news about a grant you applied for recently, or about a publishing or broadcasting venture. It is also possible you will hear news about a long distance trip, an international relationship, or a legal matter – any of these areas will favor you. You will be energized to take action, a good time to do so.

Now let’s talk about Mars, the planet that brings energy to strenuous endeavors, such as athletic competitions. In business, Mars would help you to properly launch a new product or service, for Mars teaches us how to stand out and excel. When Mars was retrograde, from June 26 to August 27, you may have had to work doubly hard during those weeks to make up for Mars’ low energy.

Mars has been in Aquarius starting May 15, a favorable place for Mars to be because it would have stimulated travel and communication-oriented projects that you are known to be so talented at creating. Those include writing, speaking, lecturing, marketing, sales, public relations, negotiation, advertising, code writing, telecommunications, social media, television broadcasting, video, and the Internet.

Mars backed out of Aquarius into Capricorn (your eighth house) on August 12, and will remain there until September 10. During the time Mars tours your eighth house of credit, loans, and other people’s money, you probably saw your expenses rise, but you will get a better grip on financial matters after September 10. At that time your heavy expenses should drop noticeably.

Now let’s turn to the new moon, in Virgo, 17 degrees, that will appear on September 9, setting up nearly two weeks of sparkling energy that will help you in regard to home, property, and matters related to parents, or to those whom you think of as parents. This new moon is as sweet as warm chocolate pudding and will be just as comforting.

You may be able to start a construction job you had your heart set on, such as to redo your kitchen or bathroom, or you may want to paint your apartment. If you live in the suburbs, have a landscaper come in to beautify your property. You might redecorate with new furniture, or if you love your home as it is, you may now start to entertain more.

Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, will signal both the Sun and new moon on September 9, so it seems you will be in line for new business, and that spells money at the same time you are thinking about your home. Some Gemini may move to a new house or apartment, now that business is doing so well, or may need to relocate to accept it. Others will simply want to cut down on commuting time and move closer to work. Home-related plans are usually expensive, so more cash coming in will be a blessing, and it will arrive at just the right time.

Something else is happening at this new moon in Virgo. A magnificent golden triangle will appear in the night sky linking three very distinct areas of your chart. Mercury (which rules Gemini and Virgo) will be at one point of the triangle in your home sector. Mercury will signal Uranus, planet of surprise, in Taurus, based in your behind-the-scenes sector, and both planets from their separate houses will signal taskmaster Saturn, in your eighth house of other people’s money. All three planets will be in rare harmony and in tight mathematical aspect to the other, which is a little like three pictures to line up exactly in a slot machine, giving you radiant luck with property, family, and money matters.

This appearance of a golden triangle tells me that if you have a new project for your home or want to help a parent in some way that will be expensive, the money will appear to ensure that you can get started on your plan. If you need a mortgage, home improvement loan, or other funds, it appears you will be approved in short order. It is also possible that money may come as a gift or loan from members of your family.

New moons as sweet as this are as rare as diamonds, but you have it this month. By the way, we have seen a large number of these golden triangles this year, but they won’t be nearly as frequent next year. Be grateful for this cosmic harmony and find ways to make it work for you.

You have a very difficult aspect for a relationship. The love-me planet, Venus, will be within two degrees of a direct opposition to Uranus, the planet that brings sudden surprises, but his surprise won’t be welcome. A secret tryst at the office could suddenly end, so it would be best not to date a co-worker. You already knew that these kinds of relationships rarely work out, so if you were thinking about starting a relationship with someone you see every day, your stars are saying don’t do it.

Now let’s look at the full moon, in Aries, two degrees, on September 24. This full moon will amp up your social life, and Mars, in Aquarius, will help by having you on the list of every A-List party that friends will be giving.

The problem is that Saturn will be in hard angle to this full moon, making you wonder if you want to attend a certain party, charity benefit, or destination wedding. Saturn will send a hard glance to both the moon and the Sun.

This event might be at a distance from your base, so you may also think twice about traveling at this time, for any travel would be fraught with delays, or you may feel under a strain the entire time. Still, this is not an easy question, for Mars will be very supportive, and it appears to be a fun event that you will want to attend. A full moon is active for four days before and after it occurs, so give it time to fade out before you go anywhere.

If your birthday falls on May 22, plus or minus four days, you will find a way to make this full moon work for you. The same is true if you have Gemini rising two degrees, or the natal moon in Gemini two degrees. The same is true if you have a natal planet in your birth chart at two degrees Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius, plus or minus four degrees, then you, too, can turn the tables in your favor.

Romance is coming in as a new trend at month’s end, and September 27 will bring you one of your best nights to enjoy fun and love. If you travel this month for a vacation, include September 27 among the days you take off. Being with a sweetheart or spouse would bring great happiness.

Your career has likely brought sudden good news at the end of last month, just after the full moon, August 26, that not only enhanced your career reputation but also likely brought you a sum of money too, adding to your confidence and sense of security. If you took a new job at that time, company benefits offered were likely generous.

Also at the end of last month, Mars, the action planet, turned from retrograde to direct, so your frustration of how slowly things were moving in all parts of life will melt away. Mercury was retrograde too, so if you feel you’ve spent the better part of July and August retracing steps, you now know why, but thankfully, that period is over.

You may still be dealing with details that need to be tied up, as you enter September. More impressive progress in your career will come when Mars tours Pisces, from November 15 to December 31, so it may be good to know that your career is about to become more exciting by year’s end.

That period will represent a rare, once-in-two-year visit of the action planet Mars to your tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement. If you were not pleased with the results of the August 26 full moon (not likely but possible, I suppose), or even if you were pleased, you can aim to get enviable publicity and praise in December.

Mercury will be retrograde November 16 to December 6, so after that will be your best time, December 7-30. You must be prepared when opportunity knocks, so begin shaping your resume and bio in September.

Your home and / or family will become a focus on the new moon, in Virgo, on September 9. This new moon will be sweet as sugar with support to the Sun and moon from surprising Uranus and stabilizing Saturn, so if you need a new home, you can find one this month. You can make decisions about closing on a new apartment or house or start working on the creative design of your space. You might also now choose a new roommate or contact contractors, painters, or repairmen to do your project. Alternatively, you might instead want to concentrate on helping a parent, and if so, much can be accomplished now.

Tuesday, September 11, could bring an exciting five-star day, when the Sun and Jupiter will be in sync. Open or, conversely, conclude talks on a lucrative business deal – you could make enormous profits on this one. Aim to sign papers on this glorious day, too.

This same day, September 11, Jupiter and Pluto will have their last conversation until 2020. This aspect could bring a new assignment that will have the power to skyrocket your reputation in the best possible way and to greatly expand your finances. A real estate deal concluded on this day could either bring you considerable profit or, if buying property, at a great bargain. September 11 will be a rare, special day that you must use for your advantage. Deals that you set on this day now could result in a considerable profit to you.

The fine aspects will keep on rolling, and over the weekend of September 15-16, Mercury will receive beams from both Pluto and Jupiter. The fact that Mercury is your ruling planet gives this configuration extra weight and benefits. Again, real estate, parents / family, and work projects will likely be the area of gain, but you may receive generosity from family and through other means.

Avoid September 18, for it is a tough day that might concern you. Travel is not favored, for Mars in your ninth house of distant travel will clash with Uranus, the planet that brings unanticipated news, but this won’t be news you will want to hear. Don’t sign a contract, initiate a law case, or meet with your professor, editor, or producer on or within one day of September 18. This is simply not a good day. You may find that people around you are fragile and out of sorts and quick to get angry. Keep a low profile.

The full moon, September 24, will be a moment when reality becomes harsh, for Saturn will sternly be at odds with the full moon and your ruler, Mercury. A social event that you may be participating in could cost you quite a bit of money. It may be worth the expense, however, because Mars will be in perfect angle to the Sun, giving your social life a boost.

Also at month’s end, loaning money to a friend would not be a good idea. You will soon see why, for the chances of getting repaid are slim. Still, you may not care. Sometimes we help another person without any expectation of being paid back.

You may feel a bit drained and in need of rest, but luckily, Mars will support the Sun, so despite this feeling of being enervated, Mars almost ensures you would you have fun. Sometimes a big expense is worth it – only you can tell how you feel on and nearSeptember 27.
