Leo Horoscope for September 2017

This is a time of regrouping, Leo, and the consolidation of gains. You have been through a rebirth since the solar eclipse, through the last ten days of the previous month, and with Mercury currently retrograde in your sign, you are reflecting on the past few weeks and, with changes in mind, looking to the future. You need not be concerned if you feel held back from the fullest expression of your creative talents during this period of adjustment, since your true goal is longer lasting. With Mercury’s station to direct motion on he 5th, and the Full Moon of the 6th, you may come to greater awareness of your depths, as well as the inner realms of partners. New perspectives abound, influenced by a strong intuitive grasp of realities beyond what the surface layers of your personality normally see. This affects the way that you see your role heading into the remainder of the year, in both professional and personal contexts.

Your sign is often associated with royalty and authority. But stewardship is as important as rulership. If you’re not a wise manager of your resources, such as time, money, or your talents, you can’t expect to rule much or for long. You’re challenged to be a better steward this month to excel as a ruler in your own life or your responsibilities toward others.

You’re first called on the carpet by a benevolent universe to account for how you communicate what you want. This goes for speaking and listening. Swift Mercury’s retrograde in your sign drops the first clue about this. When Mercury pairs up with sharp Mars by conjunction on the 3rd, you’re prone to be quick on the draw and impatient. There’s no sense pushing for fast results if the means are unduly burdened with misunderstandings. You’re bound to come out on top if you match a need for efficiency with consideration for people’s feelings and time.

Once Mercury re-enters his home sign of Virgo, on the 9th, you may well see that patience pays off. You are also likely to be critical of yourself and others as Mercury heads back toward another crash encounter with antsy Mars in Virgo on the 16th.

You could be in such a hurry to improve that you might buy something big in haste and feel remorse at leisure. Take the time to think things through. Weighing all the details might seem too tedious and draining for you. Yet, so is wasting money. If you’re going to take a risk on something, make sure it’s a well-considered one. The tense square between your sign’s go-to planet, the dazzling Sun, and disciplined Saturn on the 13th reinforce this message.

The Virgo New Moon on the 19th will refresh your ability to manage and scrutinize multiple details with your resources. It’s usually a good idea at this timing to prune your spending. And it’s even better when you can come up with new ideas to make money, whether that’s a side hustle or a way to earn more at your current job. This can also be a good time to review your investment portfolios to see if they’re on target for your goals.

Focused Pluto’s shift out of retrograde on the 28th in your orderly sixth house might help you to meet other short and long-term goals in many areas of your life. You’ll have to refine or perhaps re-define your schedules and routines.

As Mercury and the Sun settle into sociable Libra toward the end of the month, you’ll also find it easier to boost your social capital. Mingling and networking, with neighbors, peers, or siblings, will also help you feel supported. You can, in turn, give valuable encouragement to others. Good humored Jupiter’s dance by opposition with inventive Uranus reveals that someone’s wisdom is bound to pave a way for you to better showcase your gifts and responsibilities. Your increased sage management of what you have will allow you to share more of it.
