Pisces Horoscope for September 2018

These times have been rather difficult for you, Pisces, with the unique intensity of recent months continuing into September. There are several mitigating factors, though, that allow you to regroup, and to productively incorporate what you have learned over a difficult summer into new mental and emotional frameworks. During the recent retrogrades, you have been mulling over concepts of service to others, also perhaps your workplace, and these areas might very well resolve over the course of this current month. Now, relationship considerations take center stage and the fresh perspectives there might help you deal with issues of identity and worldview. Your future plans are also rapidly evolving with a wild freshness that you also are somewhat afraid to actualize upon. Old patterns of inner wounding may rise up to thwart your progress toward new ways of going forward with inner ideals. You will survive and even thrive to the extent that you trust your intuition and communicate your truth straight from the heart.

The month begins as Mercury in Leo in your sixth house of work and service is making a sextile, culminating on September 3rd, to Venus in Libra in your eighth house of death and rebirth. You might be celebrating the hard work of a partner or considering changes or opportunities presenting themselves in direct relation to your partner’s personal journey. It’s also a great time to consider alternative forms of therapy, healing, or treatment for health problems, or to study or learn about an alternative form of medicine. Given the somewhat “taboo” themes of the eighth house, you might also be compelled to address some heavier or more controversial topics, perhaps especially surrounding art and culture, sex and sexuality, or technology and aesthetics. It’s not uncommon with Venus in the eighth house to find that you are strangely attracted to some darker or more exotic topics. Just be careful, with Mercury in the sign of the bold and boisterous Lion, it could perhaps be easy to talk too freely about things that make others uncomfortable or offended.

On September 8th, Venus in Libra in your eighth house will then square Mars in Capricorn in your eleventh house of friends, groups, and dreams. It’s possible that there is a stirring up of some sexual and creative tension within the groups that you belong to, or among friends or colleagues. Or, you may be facing a time of moral ambivalence about some form of aid or support that is being offered to you right now. It’s easy to become opportunistic and even a little Machiavellian with Venus currently empowered in your eighth house. At the same time, you shouldn’t fear or reject someone or something just because it’s outside the status quo. Healthy exploration with firm boundAries and a clear sense of integrity will never steer you wrong.

On September 9th, the New Moon in Virgo falls in your seventh house of relationships, in an opposition to Neptune in your home sign. Is it possible for a partner to have a clearer sense of who you are than you do' Is it normal to fear losing yourself if you become more serious with someone' How do you balance the need for healthy independence with the inherent longing to be fully merged with someone else' This New Moon puts the focus on relationships for the lunar cycle to come, through to the end of the month, but it simultaneously engages the reveries, fog, and fantasies of Neptune in your first house, the house of personal identity, and autonomy. You may need to be very clear with yourself right now about who you are, what you desire, and whether it aligns with those you are close with, and what they might desire, or what they might expect or need from you.

On September 12th, Venus in Scorpio in your ninth house of higher education, religion, and travel, will oppose Uranus in Taurus in your third house of communication, the mind, and siblings. Venus in combination with Uranus loves to defy traditional sexual and artistic values, so you might be noticing a rebellious or highly creative energy surrounding the way you communicate or express yourself, or within your close relationships. However, this transit may also activate some deeper discussions regarding technology or learning, spirituality and beliefs, or ideological debates in your relationships. With Jupiter in the ninth house trine to Neptune in your home sign, don’t be surprised if you are the one taking a more “faith-based” position, but remember that some level of challenge, doubt, and revolution in our thinking is a healthy part of any spiritual path.

On September 18th, Mars in Aquarius in your twelfth house of dissolution, surrender, and healing, will also square Uranus in Taurus in your third house. Though your general mood is one of compassion, gentleness, imagination, receptivity and great sensitivity, sometimes you have to say, “Screw it!” and do something totally adventurous and maybe even a little selfish. All summer long you have been dealing with Mars retrograde in your twelfth house, which may have brought up themes of frustration and futility, or a conversation about that what empowers you, versus that which disempowers. With Mars now moving direct again through your twelfth house, you are ready to reap the benefits of all the intense inner work you’ve been doing the past few months. Because Uranus is in the third house, this may manifest in terms of a creative breakthrough or perhaps a revolutionary new way of thinking or expressing yourself, or you might be ready to experiment with a new form of technology. Also, perhaps you are preparing to speak out in a setting where you would normally be more restrained or cautious.

Between September 22nd and 23rd, the Sun passes through the gateway of the Fall Equinox, entering the sign of Libra and moving into your eighth house for the next thirty days. With the Sun set to square both Saturn and Pluto in the days and weeks ahead, you may be faced with similar moral or personal quandAries related to your social life or relationships, and perhaps specifically about forms of support that other people are offering you. The good news is that the Sun will likely shine a light on the situation and provide you with a greater level of clarity and insight. It’s also an overall good time to explore darker or more taboo subjects in your life with greater balance and harmony.

Finally, on September 24th, the Full Moon in Aries lands in your second house of finances, values, and resources, while opposing Mercury and the Sun in Libra in your eighth house, creating a T-square to Saturn in Capricorn in your eleventh house of friends, groups, and dreams. The issues of finances, loans, and debt, as well as value differences in relationships or social circles are all on the table right now. It might be challenging to determine the best option among many good ones, or you might be trying to make a realistic choice without losing sight of your dreams or personal hopes. With one of your ruling planets, Jupiter, in a trine with Neptune in Pisces, it’s a good moment to make choices in accord with your highest beliefs and ideals. Let your faith guide your decision-making processes from a more heart-centered place. As a Piscean, you are naturally quite faithful, but just remember that real faith isn’t found in believing everything will turn out exactly as you wish, but rather in trusting that you will find exactly what you need in whatever does come your way.
