September 2017 monthly horoscope

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Independent Rams find their tails in a vise this September. These pioneering souls have to bite the bullet and accommodate the immediate world. There’s not much that you can do about needy friends and lovers except to be as gracious as possible and pretend to really care. The secret is to set personal limits and know when to say no.

TAURUS (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
Bulls strive for the perfect relationship in September but absolute perfection may be just a dream. Blame it all on the wicked corporation which could care less if your personal life is up to par. Sadly, you’ll have to feed the corporate monster before you can feast with your partner. Life is just one big balancing act, dear

GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
Twins feel like soaring to the heights, but they remain shackled to the grindstone. It’s hard to focus on the job but concentrate you must; there are too many petty tasks to tackle. Ignore them at your peril! Sex with a powerful person could either give you a leg up or squash you like a roach. Maybe it’s better to make your own success.

CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
The pursuit of happiness may be more trouble than it’s worth when Mars turns up the volume and speeds up the action. Fun can run amok if you are not at peak performance. Crabs may happily get their claws steamed when a side dish romance becomes the main course. Choose your menu carefully; the planets are poised for surprising results. Pack the pepto.

LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Home is where the heartburn is, at least in September when both Mars and Venus overly spice domestic partnerships. Lions are too willing, to make grand scale changes in their living arrangements at this time. That is fine as long as you don’t go overboard. Everything has it’s time and place and it’s always advisable to give partners a vote. We do live in a democracy.

VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Virgos may want to practice in front of a mirror before they loudly bellow their opinions this month. You have a lot to say and the opportunity to say it, but be careful of getting the revolution started and then losing interest in the whole darn affair. Stay focused. Let them think that glaze in your eye is intensity of thought.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
The planets demand that you concentrate on finances. Prudent Libras can reap the benefits of planned investing but carefree Libras can blow the bank on a good and sleazy time. As tempting as it may be, avoid splurging on “fun stuff”. It’s not too late to plan for rainy days, but do it now while the planetary energy is sunny and bright.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
The world loves you, or so it seems. Scorps can be glazed and dazzled by the bright lights and adoring crowds this month, to the detriment of their homelife. Don’t be blinded by the glare; After a while you’ll wish for the wonderfully cozy feeling of home and hearth. It can be a relief to wake up in your own bed for a change.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
September means expansion, inspiration and spirituality. Oh but leave it to a chatty Archer to foul it up with a carelessly aimed opinion. I know that you don’t mean any harm so watch what you say and how you say it this September. This is no time to be lazy; Mars gives you great incentive to do your all for a charitable cause. Show ‘em what you can do.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
How much are you willing to pay, both monetarily and personally, to join a particularly coveted social group? Goats may ultimately find the price is too high. If so, go off and create your own wonderful music; others will soon follow. In general, friends are particularly needy at this time. Sometimes they say that a friend in need is a pest. Is this one of those times?

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
Has some louse greased the rungs on your corporate ladder? Aquarians should use the month of September to plan their ascent rather than act upon it. The planets have a way of confounding even the most brilliantly planned coup. The problem is that guilt will be written across your face. Wash your face and plan a delightful vacation instead.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Fish long for personal connection with others this month. Who knows what can happen when the Mars and Venus transits cause some sparks to fly where you least expect it. Your carefully guarded box of secrets explodes and flies out in all directions. This can be very cathartic; some things should be exposed to the light - they won’t seem all that frightening anymore.
