Rick Levine's Astrology Forecast SEPTEMBER 2020

Описание: HOLD YOUR FIRE! Everything seems more urgent than ever. Too many of us feel pushed to our limits and are ready to do something drastic to rectify whatever situation gets our goat. However, warrior Mars crosses swords with authoritarian Saturn throughout the entire month of September, thwarting our best efforts and forcing us to cool our jets. Mars in impulsive Aries turns retrograde on September 9 for two months, intensifying our survival instincts and amplifying our assertive and aggressive behavior. Nevertheless, it's more important than ever to focus on the long-term strategy, even when the temptation of immediate gratification is strong.

The visionary Pisces Full Moon on September 1 pits our creative imagination against mundane reality. Communication is the key to resolving tensions, but we must be daring and willing to break with convention to find answers to the questions of these times. The pragmatic Virgo New Moon on September 17 rewards focused thinking. The more specific our intentions are, the greater the potential rewards. Paradoxically, although small is beautiful, big changes are likely if we can stay on task.

Meanwhile, two of the three heavyweight planets end their retrograde phase, revealing a loosening of the ties that continue to bind us to the past. Journeying Jupiter turns direct on September 12, followed by austere Saturn on September 28. The feeling that progress is finally within reach only exacerbates the frustration of the Mars retrograde and its lingering square to restrictive Saturn. But we can see forward movement when mental Mercury enters fair-minded Libra on September 5, followed by gracious Venus entering dramatic Leo on September 6. Energy is flowing outward, although not as fast as we wish. The Sun's shift into Libra on September 22 marks the Autumnal Equinox, encouraging us to seek balance in relationships, thoughts and all interactions. We lose a bit of our sense of fair play because we want results once Mercury enters extreme Scorpio on September 27.

All in all, we could be pleased with the little movement we experience, but a series of irritating quincunxes pepper the second half of the month. Short fuses encourage quick reactions to salve our petty annoyances and deep assaults on our values. But there's no quick and easy way out of the current mire. We must pay attention and keep reminding ourselves not to fall victim of circumstantial entrapment. Energy management is critical because we can't just deny our anger; we must find ways to keep our emotions flowing while practicing patience.

As always, think cosmically and act locally. And please share this with others who may benefit from this perspective.
