Aries
Mars is your avatar, your ruling planet. So a Venus (love) may be returning to your side for another try. Tread carefully in this potential briar patch. S(he) may be looking for revenge, though this motive could be truly unconscious.

Taurus
Venus is your ruling planet. The retrograde conjunction occurs in your fourth house of home, hearth, and family. A relative or someone from your childhood may wish to get in touch with you. Perhaps your last experience of each other was not so peaceful. This is a good time to rectify matters.

Gemini
Mercury, your ruling planet, moves into the sector of life related to children, recreation, personal creativity, and romance. Your attention will be focused in these areas through September and October. You are in your groove for several weeks. However, make choices carefully because Mercury turns retrograde on September 17, suggesting a shift of plans.

Cancer
Give special attention to unusual messages or to new people who enter your life during this time. A “teacher” crosses your path in the form of a person, a book, or the right message that will steer you in the next favourable direction. Your mind turns to home, property and family now. Aspects are positive.

Leo
This month’s Venus/Mars alignment brings you face-to-face with your identity versus your relationship. You must consciously evaluate how you will manage to meet your personal needs and yet remain connected to the “other” in your life. If someone is “returning” after a time apart, this may represent another shot at a relationship from the past that had a similar issue.

Virgo
Your sense of meaning and purpose is punctuated during this period. Your attitude is positive. Your ruling planet moves into the financial picture this week. Your attention will be drawn to organising your accounts and records. You may discover one or two mistakes made in the past that you can rectify now.

Libra
The scales fall from your eyes as an illusion is vaporised. This occurs in the territories of friendship, lovers, children, or yourself. (Yes, we carry illusions about ourselves.) Nothing really has changed. You simply see what is and what is not there. Whatever the disappointment, it is short lived. You will recover quickly.

Scorpio
Your physical cycle is on a “low”, so drive and handle tools carefully this week. Someone from your past returns to front and center in your life. There seems to be a connection to your career in this meeting. Perhaps the returnee is someone you once worked with, but the relationship became more than that of co-workers.

Sagittarius
You have your eye on the big picture and it looks grand indeed. Others follow your lead. A word of caution: your optimistic attitude and belief that you are right could cause you to become arrogant. If you want others to join your ride, give them a special place on the wagon. Share the glory.

Capricorn
You are at a low both emotionally and physically at this time. Though you are normally prone to push yourself, this is a better period to listen to your body and give it what it needs. The “rules” are interfering with your forward motion during this period. It is frustrating, but it will soon pass.

Aquarius
This is a time of dramatically challenging work. You are struggling with your semi-conscious expectation of failure. Don’t let it beat you down. You are so much stronger than you know. The fear may have manifested an opponent in the outer world. But the true war is on the inside. Don’t buy into the critics’ point of view. It/he/she is a figment from your past.

Pisces
There are vampires loose in the world and the Fish tends to attract them. If you have aged a bit, you probably have begun to smell them when they enter your vicinity. Those who have not will be learning a lesson soon. It’s a required course for this sign. Save some energy for yourself. Don’t take over someone else’s problem.
