This is a potent transitional time, Scorpio, as you head into the closing months of a powerful year. You are more fully aware of what you want, both in terms of outer world achievement and inner realities that you have been recently exploring. Your important relationships and your work in the world are strangely linked as the month begins, and in the case of each, you are asking interesting questions about what is going on beneath the surface level of your more obvious motivation. In the second half of the month, after the September 12th Solar Eclipse and the onset of Mercury Retrograde, you find yourself more thoroughly exploring your own inner workings. You are blessed with optimistic visions for a more viable future in alignment with your core values, which are available to the extent that you can simply believe in yourself to deliver them.
As the month begins, you are riding out the wave of the powerful mid-August New Moon that affected you quite strongly, having taken place in your career sector. You are on fire with a drive for accomplishment that wants to be measured in terms of concrete gains and real-world achievement, and yet which also finds itself tied to inner realities. This shows up in the astrological symbolism with the retrograde of Venus through this same sector of your solar chart, indicating that you are taking a good long inward look at the relationships in your life, both business and personal, and at the ways that these affect your more public showing. There is also the highlighted presence of Neptune to consider, prominent over the final weekend of August, and again mid-month. Neptune takes you to other-dimensional realities beyond your conscious gaze. All this inner emphasis forms an important counterpoint to the simplicity of here-and-now events and strategies, and makes for a good match with the fundamental characteristics of your sign, which loves to dig below the surface layers to come up with the true underlying motivation.
In the first part of September, your goals and visions for your life are filled with optimism and hope, although there is a competing movement in this month's astrological currents toward illusion and confusion with the strong showing in your solar chart of Neptune. Jupiter, residing in your sector of societal connection and future plans, is opposite Neptune during this time, and this could manifest as bliss and loveliness, and also as an overdose of idealism, with perhaps even a touch of self-deception. You are enjoined by a benevolent universe to hold the paradox of antithetical ideas together in your mind, with an amalgam of both these hints of confusion and uncertainty and as well the positive aspects of your strong wishes for a more viable future.
The Solar Eclipse New Moon of September 12th makes for a powerful juncture, when you can begin to actualize your ideas for a better tomorrow. Whatever you sincerely envision for yourself, along positive lines, during this latter half of the month has an excellent chance of coming to pass, so that you benefit by choosing wisely, and in accord with your deepest intention for yourself. With all the inner emphasis you have a good opportunity now to tune in. In the same timing as this Solar Eclipse of the 12th, your ruling planet, Mars, makes a trine to Uranus located in your sector of service to others, so that a robust, and also highly volatile energy becomes available for you to help in making changes to your daily life that better support your renewed sense of purpose. Adjusting the ways in which you approach your everyday existence will ultimately serve and support your ideals of freedom — which you absolutely need in order to thrive. As you begin to forge a new concept of unique contribution inside yourself, so, also, are you more able to be in true service to others.
The symbolism of mentally focused Mercury stationing to retrograde motion on September 17th is also an important factor in this month's astrology. As you head into fall, you may find yourself embarking on the next leg of the internal journey that has been coloring this late summer period for you. This retrograde may be especially tricky for you to navigate, because much of its necessary re-caLibration could be happening under the surface of your awareness where the mystery truly lives and breathes. Because Mercury is making a square aspect to your co-ruler, Pluto, at the time of the Solar eclipse, there could be friction between the intellectual part of yourself that craves knowledge, and the much larger portion of your psyche which is considered to be subconscious, operating in the background of your rational mind. As things get stirred up in these subterranean realms, there will be a period where your ideas become muddier; the challenge lies in remaining patient, allowing the sediment to gently settle and clear in its own perfect timing. This process deep within you cannot be rushed, although you may find different avenues of utilizing your heart and mind to support it.
With the massive changes that are happening now, I highly recommend that folks get a transit report tailored specifically to their chart for the most accurate description of what's in store for you in the months ahead.
