Written in the Stars - Week of September 25

Mars in Virgo — When the planet of will, energy and determination enters the sign of the keen and critical workhorse, we're filled with the impetus to get things done in a most precise and thorough fashion. It's an ideal time to roll up our sleeves and take care of business.

ARIES

Prepare for a flurry of activity, Aries! Mars, the planet of energy and determination, has moved into your House of Work and Routine, indicating that your workload might get a bit heavier over the next few weeks. You may also find that you're inspired to take up a new healthy routine, or to reinvigorate the one that you have now. It's a great time to step things up to the next level. You might find that this fiery energy causes some conflict, so try not to burn coworkers with your passion. Channel your energy into obliterating your to-do list.


TAURUS

Work hard, but play harder, Taurus. The planet of energy and passion, Mars, has moved into your House of Creativity, Romance and Play, inspiring you to get out into the world and enjoy yourself in a more active way than usual. You'll be feeling more physically driven, and excited about experiencing the lighter side of life. Your self-discipline could take a minor hit for the next few weeks, but Mars' heat could fire up your inspiration enough to make it worth your while. Let your inner child loose! See where it leads you.


GEMINI

Your home and family are front and center now, Gemini, since Mars has moved into your House of Home and Foundations. You may be called on to defend your family or tribe now, or at the very least, you'll be feeling more protective than usual. Emotional issues from the past could come up for review now, and your best bet is to channel this aggressive energy into home projects, repairs or family outings. Break out your DIY list, roll up your sleeves and "make something" of this energy. Literally. You could surprise yourself with some new homemaking talents.


CANCER

Keep a pen and notepad handy, Cancer, or get familiar with the note-taking app on your phone, because you're sure to be so full of good ideas that you'll want to keep track! Mars, the planet of energy and action, has moved into your House of Communication, promising a flurry of ideas and conversations that are so stimulating, you may need a timeout. Be careful what you say and who you say it to, as this fiery energy can cause arguments or disputes without warning. It's a great time to sell ideas, state your case and fight for your rights. Go forth and conquer!


LEO

Money's on your mind for the next few weeks, Leo, and it's an ideal time for you to step up your game to step up your earning power. Mars, the planet of energy and action, has moved into your House of Money and Values, filling you with the fighting spirit to defend what you believe in, and to enact the skills and talents you possess to improve your station in life. Resist the urge to spend impulsively, as this fiery energy also fills you with the desire to enjoy the finer things in life. Well-channeled, this aspect can invigorate and transform your finances. Focus!


VIRGO

You're on fire, Virgo! Mars, the planet of energy and determination, has moved into your House of Self, filling you with a fighting spirit and the will to action. Your physical vitality increases, as does your desire to make your personal mark on the world. If you need to push forward in life, defend yourself or fight for what you want, it's time to strike. The iron is steaming hot. On the topic of steam, just don't steamroll anyone in your path. You make a massive first impression now, so wield this temporary superpower with grace. If anyone can, it's you.


LIBRA

A lot is going on behind the scenes for you, Libra, now that the planet of energy and action has moved into the unfamiliar realm of your House of Secrets and the Past. You may find yourself spending more time alone now, or working on private passion projects that promise a big emotional payoff. Watch your back, as the past is forecast to catch up with you — though this wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. Passionate, secretive events and encounters are forecast. It's an ideal time to reflect on, and research, your big goals. Soon it will be time to act.


SCORPIO

Do you consider yourself a leader, Scorpio, or more of a loner? Mysterious and subtle as you are, others will be looking to you to lead the charge now, as Mars, the planet of action and energy, has moved into your House of Allies and Associations. The way you play (well or not) with others will take center stage for the next few weeks, so you may find that you become a more public figure, or at least a more prominent one. Organizing projects, networking and expansion of your circle are all forecast. Put your best foot forward.


SAGITTARIUS

What's your personal "brand," Sagittarius? Do you market yourself well? Does your reputation need a little firing up? The time is now. Mars, the planet of energy and determination, is firing up your House of Career and Destiny, calling for you to make your personal mark on the world. Conflicts or confrontations with higher-ups are possible under this fiery aspect, so be careful not to burn any necessary bridges. Make time to market yourself, invest in your best skills and get noticed. Whether you start your own business or aim for the top, make it a point to move.


CAPRICORN

Feeling restless, Capricorn? The call of the wild is upon you, with Mars, the planet of energy and action, firing up your House of Journeys and Philosophy. You long for freedom, adventure and the ability to go where you want, when you want, whether in the physical world or the realm of your ideas. It's time to expand! Grow into your new self by chasing horizons you've, until now, only dared to dream about. You could experience some confrontations because you're more opinionated than ever now, but if you have to stand up for yourself, it's the ideal time.


AQUARIUS

Ever the individual, Aquarius, sometimes it's uncomfortable for you to recognize just how much you depend on others, especially your closest partners. Mars, the planet of energy and action, has moved into your House of Intimacy and the Other, heating up your most intimate relationships. Some will get some pleasant steam heat, and others may get singed, or burnt away altogether. Shared property or resources could become a source of contention — a keener awareness of how you relate and what you need is forecast. Trust your intuition.


PISCES

Who are your closest partners, Pisces? You're known for your subtlety, which can range from nuance to outright deception — but with Mars, the planet of energy and determination, moving into your House of Partnerships, you may find yourself putting it all on the table. Conflicts, confrontations, or simply passionate exchanges are forecast. It's a great time to bring any hidden agendas or issues into the light and settle them — Mars is imbuing you with extra courage and assertiveness. Your stars say your honesty will be rewarded.

Written in the Stars - Week of September 18

Mercury Retrograde — When the planet of thought, communication and technology appears to move backward, we experience delays, hiccups and mix-ups. Double-check your work, never hit reply-all and hold off on major commitments. It's a good time to review, re-evaluate and remind yourself of where you want to go. 

ARIES

Take a second look at your closest partners, Aries. Are they befitting of your current lifestyle? It's very likely that you have some questions or issues around this sector of your life now, with Mercury spinning backward through your House of Partnerships. It's all about equality: Are you giving enough? Receiving enough? It's an ideal time to take small, measured steps toward balancing things out, fixing small issues and maintaining your boundaries. Focus on nipping issues in the bud before they grow.


TAURUS

Prepare to forget the meaning of the word "routine," Taurus, because yours is about to become anything but. Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, is moonwalking through your House of Work and Routine, causing some re-shuffling and renewal that calls for some re-adjustment on your part. This three-week period is actually an ideal time to figure out what it is you really want from your daily experiences. Has moderate become mundane? Be willing to make small changes; the results will be telling.


GEMINI

Although it's always smart to play it safe during Mercury retrograde, Gemini, it's even more essential that for the next three weeks, you just play. Your ruler is moonwalking through your House of Creativity, Romance and Play, indicating that you need this little stellar hiatus in order to play with ideas, people and potentials. Certain projects may suffer delays or setbacks, but this period is actually helpful for spotting small hiccups now, before they become roadblocks. Look at your life like a puzzle — enjoy figuring it out.


CANCER

What do you really want, Cancer? It's time to take a look at the road map that is your life and decide if you are still on course to where you'd like to be. You may decide, as Mercury spins backward through Your House of Home and Foundations, that some small yet fundamental changes can lead to greater stability for you, both internally and externally. What are your values? Are you meeting them yourself, and are your loved ones living up to them? Reevaluate your current path — analyze to stabilize.


LEO

Where do you fit into your social circle, Leo? What about everyone else? With Mercury going retrograde in your House of Communication, you can expect to deal with some sudden issues that demand re-evaluation and re-adjustment. Friends from the past may come calling, and you may have to stand your ground and deal with a few confrontations. Any little mix-ups and hiccups you deal with now are actually an opportunity to nip issues in the bud so you can move forward. Beware of mixed messages, sent or received.


VIRGO

You've got plans when it comes to your money, Virgo, but with Mercury moonwalking through your House of Money for the next three weeks, it's a better time to adjust them than enact them. Take this time to deal with small financial issues or questions as they arise, and you will set yourself up for great success by mid-October. Use your trademark Virgo critical eye to fine-tune your plans, reallocate resources and prepare for the future. Issues that come up now are disguised opportunities to improve your income.


LIBRA

Who are you, Libra? With Mercury moonwalking through your House of Self, you may spend the next three weeks subtly redefining and refining that concept. This aspect indicates that you're getting ready for a bit of a coming-out party, but you need to make some last-minute adjustments before you show off what you've made. It's an ideal time to make changes to your looks or persona, to change your mind if necessary, and to clear your path in order to move forward. Change is good. Embrace it.


SCORPIO

With the planet of thought and communicationg moonwalking through your House of Secrets and the Past, Scorpio, it's time to embrace the magic that happens in darkness. Seeds that you have planted are unfurling quietly in the fertile ground — what have you been growing in secret? You can best use this energy by being open to new opportunities and shocking invitations. It's essential that you trust your intuition and refuse to trod the same old path. Something big is coming — spend this time preparing for it.


SAGITTARIUS

It's time to find a balance, Sagittarius, between your external life and your internal life. With Mercury moving backward through your House of Allies and Associations, you may spend the next three weeks figuring out who your real friends are, and what you need from them. It's an ideal time to mend fences, address little problems as they arise and stabilize the connections that are most important to you. Have you been spending too much time on your own? Or not enough? Seek balance to enjoy both more.


CAPRICORN

Your reputation and status are up for review, Capricorn, with the planet of thought and communication moonwalking through your House of Career and Destiny. Pay attention to details and double check your work — it's all about polish and precision now. If you encounter obstacles or setbacks now, recognize that they are more like road flares to let you know where you must re-set your course and get back on your way. It's an ideal time to re-envision your status and chart the course.


AQUARIUS

You're a global thinker, Aquarius, so you often avoid the tiny, seemingly insignificant details of life in favor of loftier pursuits. But with the planet of thought and communication moonwalking through your House of Journeys and Philosophy, it's time to take care of the mundane little details for the next three weeks, so that you can spend more time with your big ideas afterward. The minute work you do will ironically give you an even broader, more complete vision. Weave your threads into a tapestry.


PISCES

It's time for some deep thinking about all the resources at your disposal, Pisces
— material, creative and human. The planet of thought and communication, Mercury, is checking his rearview in your House of Intimacy and the Other, prompting a reassessment and some possible reallocation when it comes to your investments. Those are, again, material, creative and emotional investments. It may be time to adjust your budget or financial plans for better results. Use your keen eye and intuition.
