This month is all about finding your true grounding, Leo. You are metaphorically looking for a place to stand. There is much light and learning associated with the evolutionary journey of this September cycle, the efficacy of your current models of reality having been found wanting, and your positive reactions to this state of affairs being golden. Even seeming setbacks turn out to be further lessons for you. Ideas are important for finding your way through; and this applies even more to career choices than to personal ones. You are somewhat stuck in your creative self-expression, unless and until you can formulate your productions with a decidedly mystical/spiritual component. While you are beset by difficult circumstances, these can yet be overcome through diligence — and also by means of incorporating graceful illusion that borders on fantasy — you win through when you consider all of this to be grist for your mill as you grind away at becoming better informed about yourself and your world.
As the month begins, you are feeling the energy of the extremely powerful Solar Eclipse New Moon taking place in your second sector of resources and values. This area of your life is also subject to review and revisioning, as symbolized by the retrograde of Mercury passing through this same solar sector. Everything that you stand for is being questioned, and in some cases re-imagined in a creative way that corresponds more fully to all that you hold inside. This is a point of view that evolves as the first two weeks of the month continue to unfold.
As you continue to mull over the stance you are taking in your life's journey, you are on some level ultimately concerned with finding that which provides you with a basis for finding the best future path to follow. You are looking for what makes for the best fit with all that you hold inside, and your visionary creative output over the last few months may reflect this. It's an exciting time to be alive once you come to understand how intimately your evolving philosophical stance contributes to the way that you actualize in the world of outer events, including career choices, something that you are currently recognizing.
Because Neptune, representing otherworldly vision, and Uranus, symbol of intuitive epiphany, are conspiring with Saturn, representing their concrete application, this is a very special time for planning and researching what exactly you intend. Because of this major retrograde of Mercury, lasting until the first week of October (when you take the period of the Mercury's retrograde shadow into account) it is not yet the time to move ahead with these new ideas, although soon it will be. You emerge from this period more sure of yourself than when you started, and in a better position to know where you want to place your energies heading into the ending of the year.
