September 2008 Sagittarius Horoscope, Monthly Horoscope, Sagittarius Horoscope Archive, Sagittarius Horoscope

As you start September, it will be clear to one and all that you're serious about moving forward in your career. Your timing will be perfect. Line up all your tin cans on the fence, and take aim - you'll shoot every can off that old fence with stunning accuracy. Colleagues and even competitors will be impressed by your amazing display of self-discipline, dedication, and single-minded determination to materialize your professional goals. Your time has come, and you know it.

The new moon that appeared late last month on August 30 last month brilliantly lit your tenth house of honors, awards, achievement, and fame. The energy of that new moon will still be strong as you enter September. This is the first time of the year that you've had all conditions right to go for the gold.

The house where Saturn stands is at the pinnacle point of your chart, and the fact that it is so lit up suggests you are poised to reap rewards for all the hard work you've done in the past to get to the top. It's an ideal time to interview for a job, ask for a promotion, or if self-employed, to bring in important new business. Do so in the first ten days before your golden rays fade.

On September 3, Saturn will conjoin the Sun, and you may feel the effects in many ways. You may be very cognizant of the weight of the decisions you are making now, and may even feel a bit overwhelmed by the responsibilities that others are entrusting to you.

On this day, you may need to make a serious commitment. If so, take your time, and if signing a contract, look carefully over the fine print, because with Saturn prominent, the promises you make will be in place a very long time.

It is alternatively possible that you will choose to leave your job or sever a business relationship, and if this is how things play out, you'll feel very sure about your decision and you won't even turn your head to watch the door close behind you.

Whether or not the decision to leave was purely your own, you would probably feel a bit of sadness about the ending nevertheless. Saturn is a cautious planet, and its position on the Sun might make you second-guess yourself. Don't. Just close that chapter. There were reasons this had to end, and you will find something more satisfying very soon. Your excellent aspects have put you in a strong position to gain power and position - and a fine salary, too.

On the following day, September 4, your guardian planet, Jupiter, will make a decisive and very friendly beam to the Sun, linking your house of fame to your house of money in a spectacular way. Put a big gold star on this day, for you're sure to take a giant leap forward! Schedule meetings, interviews, presentations, qualifying exams, and other key events for this very special day. If you were born on December 3, or within five days of this date, you will get a double dip of luck.

Your good luck will keep on rolling. Next you need to watch September 8, a very key date in your timeline, as Jupiter and Pluto will both turn direct on that day. These two planets have been retrograde a long time - Pluto, since April 4, and Jupiter, since May 9 - and so for the past four to five months you've had to be content with small incremental victories, but nothing on the scale that you were aiming for. All that changes now.

Jupiter rules Sagittarius and is in your financial sector, and Pluto is in Sagittarius and rules big, even global money transitions of all kinds. As you see, with just a little effort, you could give your earned income a major boost. See what kind of emails, conversations, and meetings you have in the days surrounding September 8, for you should get a sign that things are about to change for the better. You may not capture your full due until the new moon December 27, but certainly this month the conversations begin to take a step in the right direction.

Your home, property, or family will need your full attention from September 12 through the full moon, September 15, in Pisces. (Note that all full moons have an area of influence that extends four days beyond the date the full moon appears, so be watchful of all home and family-related matters until September 18.)

Uranus, the planet of unpredictable events, will first challenge the Sun on Friday and then conjoin the full moon on Monday. These are jarring aspects, and not easy ones to take. There's very little you can do to prepare, as this situation will be one you won't see coming or could even imagine arising.

Your situation might relate to the sale, purchase, or lease of real estate, or to a renovation or repair of property. If so, there seems to be a twist coming up that you couldn't have fathomed, and it will be challenging. Alternatively, news may center on a family member, most likely a parent. The person or event you will be thinking about seems to be centered out of town, or alternatively, it may be that you will be out of town when the news comes in.

It will be vital if you plan to travel that you leave telephone numbers where you can be reached. Keep your cell phone, iPhone, or BlackBerry charged up at all times. You won't want to be missing in action when others are trying desperately to find you. Whatever you hear on Friday, September 13, won't be the end of it. There will be more news by Monday, September 15. You will need to be very decisive, as events will move quickly.

With your career blooming in just the right ways, having home, family, or property will be hard to juggle. While there is never an ideal time to be pulled in two different directions, this month it seems all the harder to do both. Last month's eclipses on August 1 and 16 may be causing you to travel very far, and it seems evident that you'll have to keep everything humming at home while you are gone. It will not be easy, as Uranus can create a raw, nerve-jangling effect.

If you were born on or near December 14, you will feel more than most this full moon and Sun opposition to Uranus (September 12).

The reason we study astrology is to prepare for all eventualities as best we can, so simply make sure that you are in touch with those back at home base during mid-month. If you plan to fly, give your assistant, sibling, babysitter, or friend at home base your full itinerary, including airline company, flight number, flight departures and arrivals, hotel names and addresses and phone numbers, and so forth. (One hotel may have several locations in one city.)

Make sure that the wiring in your home is adequate to handle the many electronics you own, as you might have problems with electricity this month. If you need to travel, unplug all appliances and computers and other machines before you go, as engineers say items that are left plugged in, even though in the off position, are still "live."

It would be wise to leave a key behind for your landlord or neighbor to enter your apartment or house. There is only a small possibility that anything would occur, but I need to cover all bases considering your aspects. Uranus is currently in Pisces, so you could have problems with water or flooding.

Also be sure to back up your computer on a drive that you keep at home, as Mercury rules moving parts and you may have to take something you own to the repair shop. If it turns out to be your computer, you would surely miss it. If you work in IT, you could have problems with servers, high tech programs, or Websites, or experience other technical glitches, so have your engineers on guard. Do not install new software on or near September 13-15.

Mercury will be retrograde from September 24 through October 15, but you will feel the slowdowns and delays that are the hallmarks of a Mercury retrograde period sooner and later than those dates.

Never plan to schedule events, meetings, and initiations too closely to a Mercury retrograde period. Don't jump into important activities the day Mercury goes direct either. You need to leave a few days that are empty on both sides of the start and end dates for best luck, for Mercury tends to "act up" most on those beginning and end dates.

There will be a lyrical, light side to September too, as Mars will be touring one of the most enchanting parts of your chart, your eleventh house of friendships, group events, and humanitarian efforts. You will be mixing and mingling quite a bit, and this new social influence will be a wonderful breath of fresh air for you in the second half.

Venus will be in this highly social part of your chart too from September 1 to 22. This is highly significant because the ancient astrologers always wrote that when Mars and Venus are together, electric sparks of love begin to fly!

These two cosmic lover planets, Venus and Mars, will meet in conjunction on September 11, a spectacular day for love. To show you how rare this planetary meeting will be, Venus and Mars have not been together since October 25, 2006, and they won't meet again until April 21, 2009.

Last time Venus and Mars were together, they met in Scorpio. Next time will be in Pisces, but this month, dear Sagittarius, they will meet on September 11, in Libra, a sign that blends beautifully with yours. Put a big circle around September 11, for it's a night you may want to enjoy with someone special or with a larger group of friends. If single, you stand a good chance of meeting someone new, so try to be out and about this evening.

Many old friends will enter your life too, beginning in the last week of September, because Mercury will retrograde in your eleventh house of friendship. It's fun to run into people you love and have not seen in ages - this will be your time to reconnect and enjoy catching up.

Adding to the festive atmosphere that is shaping up in your social life will be the new moon, September 29. This new moon will send a bewitching vibe to Neptune. This may allow you to travel with friends, and if so, those trips will be a lot of fun. Friends may expose you to new interests, books, opinions, endeavors, and other mind-expanding influences. A new moon opens a window for two weeks, but the effect of the results can last a year, or forever!

This new moon will open the door for new friendships and associations. If you like, you can find a way at this new moon and in the two weeks that follow to add your expertise and energy to help a humanitarian cause or political candidate you believe in. This will be a very inspirational, uplifting trend that will be just starting up, and one that you'll want to fully bond with - it could be life changing!

If you were born on November 27, plus or minus 5 days, you will benefit most from this glorious new moon.

Summary

You seem to have been getting ready to take a big professional leap, and this month it seems the pieces have finally fallen into place. The vital new moon that fell in the last days of August will be exerting a very strong influence in your career sector as the month opens. You may have recently received news of a promotion, or if not, it will likely come up now. If self-employed, you may now launch a big enterprise or reel in an important client.

Shakespeare wrote, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," and it seems to fit your situation. In the first days, due to the rare meeting of Saturn and the Sun, when it comes to your new role in your job, you may feel overwhelmed. This would be a temporary feeling, so hang in until things improve. It appears no one can help you do the work that's on your plate, for many judgments and executive decisions will have to be made. Those judgments will fall to you. Saturn will ask you to be very detailed and buttoned up, so you'll need to give your assignments your all in September.

Your day-to-day assignment house is actually beautifully aspected, so it looks like you will find exactly the right touch for each question presented. The Sun and benefic Jupiter will be in perfect alignment too on September 4, suggesting your salary compensation could go up. Your raise would be quite generous as well, and very much in keeping with the heavy responsibility you are now shouldering. If you own your company, then September 4 should mark a day when you bring in a nice piece of business, cognizant you'll enjoy bigger profits as a result.

As you get to Friday, September 12, however, your home or a family member will need your urgent attention. News that you'd never expect will arise and require a very quick response. After you hear the news, you seem to need the ensuing weekend to mull over all your options to decide what to do. A certain male seems to be at the center of your thinking.

The tense full moon, September 15 will bring things to final culmination within four days of this date. Your mother, grandmother, an aunt, or female roommate may be the focus of your attention, or the matter you are thinking about may pertain to your physical apartment, house, or other property. You will need to be resourceful and flexible to deal with the unexpected and somewhat jarring news that surfaces.

Thankfully, you will have a trio of planets in your eleventh house of friendship - Mars, Venus, and Mercury - so being with friends should prove to be comforting. You can count on your pals for support on many fronts. They'll be there for you, through thick and thin. Bless them - what would you do without them?

The meeting of Venus and Mars on September 11 will be very special, certainly a day to be out and about!
