Capricorn Horoscope for September 2015

This is a month of deeper realization, Capricorn. You find yourself on a quest to explore thoroughly that which is below the surface layers of your thoughts and your personality. Everything else takes on a secondary importance, including your work out there in the world of commerce. This might in any case, especially over the second half of the month, become a situation of two steps forward and three steps backward, of reaching for the golden ring of personal achievement and never quite managing to close your hand upon it. A new basis for action has to wait until sometime later in the fall. Inspiration flows into your mind from somewhere deep inside you and lights the way to a more emotional grasp on a new kind of truth, far beyond that which passes for wisdom in the restricted rationality of consensus thought.

As the month begins, you are feeling a powerful urge to know the root of your actual situation, based on the recent Full Moon in your communications sector opposite the Sun in your sector of higher mind, educational initiative and the variety of foreign travel that brings new perspectives into view. You are beginning to believe that this state of advanced understanding may have more to do with what is going on within the deeper reaches of your mind and heart than at the more obvious surface layers. You have a terrific opportunity now to tune in to intuitional spaces within you that are poised to deliver information of an unusual kind, and might even throw caution to the winds and make a turnabout in your life direction in order to achieve it.

The powerful New Moon and Solar Eclipse that takes place on the second weekend of the month in this same sector of higher mind brings fresh energy to your purpose and carries with it the theme of more completely understanding what is going on for you below the surface layers of your personality.

Your sign of Capricorn is known for its capacity for patience and endurance, yet this month you might experience some volatile fits and spurts of the wild craving of freedom to really walk your own path, finding a unique approach to your home, your being, and in connection with family. With Mars also in your intimacy sector, at the timing of the eclipse, making a trine aspect to both Uranus and Eris, a feminine warrior of truth, you may encounter within you a fierce and unruly side of yourself surfacing, full of passion and vital energy. This inner reality urging to break free from the restrictions of normality could find an important outlet in physical expression and activity. Relaxing in intimate realms with a loving partner could be a beneficial place to express this element, or perhaps in another kind of intimate setting of confidentialities exchanged. This expression can act as a catalyst and is linked to your identifying and forming new seeds of philosophies or life lessons that come to the fore in the process of re-evaluation that comes with these potent astrological currents of late summer.

This month as well your ruling planet, Saturn, will be moving from the depths of Scorpio into the more expansive realms of Sagittarius, corresponding to your sector of unconscious process. This coincides with Mercury's retrograde station on September 17th, in one of the most prominent sectors of your solar chart, which also points to a big process of slowing down and turning inward. This second half of the month thus begins a new phase for you, one where you will likely be orienting more heavily toward your inner workings, and inquiring more fully about what makes you tick. It may be difficult to see what's there, within the darkness of mystery that is alive in the realms beneath your conscious mind. You could find resource in allowing the light of all that you are refining and learning about your ideals and true values illuminate your path into the darkness.

In this latter half of the month as well, you could be taking some hard looks at your situation in terms of profession and sense of purpose. Mercury is also square to Pluto as it stations, and at the time of the potent New Moon eclipse of the 12th. The framework of who you know and consider yourself to be has likely shifted drastically in these recent and transformational years, and now you are in a process of re-building and re-orienting. The current Mercury Retrograde will simultaneously slow down and amplify this process. Patience and the will to really look within at what new values are taking shape is crucial for you to continue to seek greater alignment between your inner reality and your work in the world.
