Aries Horoscope for September 2014

This month is key for your ongoing progress, Aries. While not all that easy, the rewards are great, particularly in terms of re-orienting yourself to important inner truth. Your relationship with significant partners, and indeed with your own inner world, is in the midst of massive change. You could find in symptoms of a virtual shutdown the greater focus and attention that you unconsciously seek. The great trick is to accept whatever difficulties come up for you now as potentially valid restrictions for the sake of your further soul-level development. You have been through — continuing all this year — an important evolution of consciousness. Your advantage is your intuition, so powerful at this time that you will know the right decision when you look inside. In the quiet of meditation, you might be able to discern a sense of your true mission rising up to greet you.

As the month begins, you are still feeling the intensity of the powerful Virgo New Moon of one week ago, from the beginning of the last week of August. This took place in your sector of day-to-day events, health concerns and your attitude toward your true purpose in this lifetime. All these areas could be coming up for you over the course of another rather intense monthly cycle when you will be feeling the responsibilities of the real world weighing you down almost as much as you enjoy validating an understandable urge to escape them. This is symbolized by the limitations and heaviness — stemming from the time of the recent New Moon — of restrictive Saturn, conjunct your ruler, Mars, in your sector of intimacy and deep personal exploration. The trickster energy of Uranus, currently residing in the middle of your sign, is also greatly highlighted.

With Saturn so strongly configured with Mars you could feel a sense of stop and go with almost everything that you attempt this month. This can be frustrating, but can also lead to long-lasting lessons gained, especially since by slowing down you have a better chance to observe what is going on for you beneath the surface layers of your psyche. Also, in a symbolic chime with a powerfully configured presence of Chiron, the Wounded Healer, in your sector of unconscious process, you might be able to detect the presence of hurts or complexes inside yourself that you have not been able to communicate with, at least not at conscious levels. If you allow these inner places to come out into the light of day they become less scary and difficult.

This month as well, relationship and romance could be on your mind, perhaps serving as something of an escape valve for you, since your one-on-one sector ruler, Venus, is both liberated and also focalized by the outer planet contacts that she is currently experiencing. As you meditate on your own changes, this has the general effect of putting you more squarely into the path of key relationships in your life and their surprising twists and turns, as well as the changes in your understanding of what partnership with others might truly mean for you right now. You are also enjoying a surge in creativity and this could definitely spill over into stimulating romantic ideas or feeling as though you were on stage.

The transformational changes that you have been engaged in all year long are definitely still with you, and have gathered in complexity as you have evolved. This applies most poignantly to career choices that you make during this current monthly cycle and for the upcoming fall months. You are using slightly altered criteria now, for deciding in which direction to move and your business and professional life priorities, and it makes all the difference. The understanding of the significance of this will grow as you continue to look inside. Your intuition is virtually sizzling this month as well, so that your have an ally deep within you that shows up to the extent that you are open to it. One of the most noticeable changes over this extended period is your sensitivity to your own inner world.
