Cancer Horoscope for September 2015

This is another amazing month for you, Cancer, with developments in both inner and outer realms. You are feeling your way into greater reliance on your own set of values, independent from the effects of early conditioning or others' expectations. As you rely more on your own powerful intuition to guide you, even with career decisions, you might begin to see yourself trending toward a strong sense of inner purpose that has come to preside over your recent attitudes and beliefs. These inner factors emerge into sharper focus over the course of this current month, especially during its second half, when you are even more introspective, and when partners may play a significant role in helping you to establish your own mission statement. A mystical truth is revealing itself to you, as you have the courage of your convictions to open to this outlandish, and yet strangely familiar, information.

As the month begins, you are riding out the wave from the recent New Moon from the middle of the previous month, which made chimes with important factors in your solar chart. This New Moon took place in your sector of resources and values, in conjunction with Venus in retrograde in this same location, implying that these factors are in some manner the subject of your current musings and meditations. Your financial picture is one subject of these recent introspective meanderings. You have likely been taking a good hard look at the meaning of money in your life, and perhaps reflecting on its ultimate significance. There is also a way that you have been pondering where to put your psychological weight, your metaphorical riches so to speak, in recognition of where you feel most in alignment, and also in avoidance of false paths that you have been tempted down in the past. You are wise to listen to the messages that arrive to you from your deep inner process, seemingly unbidden, stemming from universal awareness. These reflect deep intuitional assessments that you have already made and that are available to your conscious mind to the extent that you remain open to what it is that they convey. These can be thought of on a spiritual level as messages from your higher self or angel guidance, or more simply the Universe speaking truth to your inner knowing.

Your philosophical efforts to understand your life have taken a decidedly mystical trending in this current monthly cycle, extending as well into the second half of September, in correlation to the prominent presence of Neptune in your higher mind sector. Neptune was strongly activated in the weekend days just prior to the 1st, when the Full Moon was meeting up with this numinous planetary archetype of paradox and imaginative vision. Your ideation is thus inspired and a little spacey, especially in the second half of the month, and your communication also. As Mercury Retrogrades in a vital sector of your chart, your unconscious process plays an even larger role than usual in the content of your utterances. This intense focus on internal realms is not however exclusive of your attention to matters of a more mundane variety, in terms of career and professional circumstances or choices. You are in many ways bringing your inside to this outer presence. Because you have the powerful presence of Uranus in this same chart sector, there are likely to be, along with this real world focus, unexpected events in this area as well, which have the silver lining of surprising enlightenment. It is with this concept in mind that Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter wrote that "once in a while you can get shown the light/ In the strangest of places if you look at it right."

It is possible that old and dysfunctional patterns of behavior, or, indeed, ancient trauma of a more direct form, could come up for you over the course of this monthly cycle. This is due to the highlighted presence of Chiron, the Wounded Healer, is also present, along with Neptune, in your sector of higher mind, foreign travel and educational endeavors. Travel or teaching arrangements might become a more difficult experience than you had originally thought of, or perhaps turn out to be shrouded in deception, mystery and illusion. Once again, there are lessons to be obtained. These might well be concerned with adjustments to your habitual day-to-day arrangements or sense of purpose in what you are attempting.

Rounding out the month, the Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon, taking place on the evening of the 27th, and in a prominent area of your solar chart, marks another significant juncture for you. You are focused on outer world concerns to an even larger extent, with the idea of making of these a self-consistent statement reflecting back on your deepest and most sincere soul-level intention for yourself, moving forward.
