Preface: Dilemma
You have to choose between two planetary energies, and you know very clearly which one you choose will be somewhat unsatisfactory. This week's Sun Virgo/Neptune Pisces pair indicates that choosing Virgo path means being away from Neptune's temptation. This may be manifested in choosing a paid job over an art business, or sticking to what you have, choosing not to pursue something charming and different. Standing on the side of Neptune promises ecstasy-but all the pain, accompanying it. Your heart will fly high and your soul will flow, but what is the price? Neptune's experience is all or nothing. They are not allowed to use safety words or contingency plans. Choose Neptune and you will have to sacrifice something. It is obvious that sometimes these planetary energies will coincide, but not now. It won't happen when they polarize. Either choose one or the other, there is nothing in between. The decision is up to you.
Aries
The difficulty with Mars/Venus quarter is that they are never good enough. It's like you reaching some kind of truce with the other party, and one party says something to add fuel to the fire. Needless to say, this week is not easy for a relationship, because breaking up is not an option—like trying to find a suitable partner—and maybe it’s best to remember that both of you feel hurt and misunderstood. This understanding takes the right step to establish common ground in your differences.
Taurus
People say that one bird is better than two birds in the woods. This is one thing you should remember when Mars meets Venus on September 16. Mars is reckless. Put it in Gemini – a sign known for games – you will find yourself forced to take a gamble by friends or colleagues. They may have nothing to lose, but you have; that's why you'll want to tune into your dominant planet. Venus in Virgo doesn’t like to show off, but she’s sly, which means that as long as you stick to the long-term game, you’ll end up winning.
Cancer
It is wise to accept the proposal placed on the desktop. Yes, it's not as good as it should, but it's not that bad either. Sticking to demand more seems to only lead to a diminishing return. It has something to do with your current negotiations and other options you are considering. On September 17, the Gemini will usher in their last full moon. Not only does this show a drop in value before Mars retrograde in October, but it is also a less subtle hint from the stars that now locks in prices and protocols. You will be very happy.
Aquarius
The beauty of being born under a fixed sign is that you always stick to it. No matter how many choices, complications or reversals you have, you will stick with it. This persistence in your goal is the real secret to your success. People usually think that Aquarius is too abstract, but that is not the case. You just happened to know the situation earlier than others. Keep going along the path you are walking, because it will fulfill all the promises – some of which are things you never dreamed of.
Leo
It's hard to say whether a recent decision is worth it. You can't help but wonder if you've turned the wrong corner somewhere and got lost? A few months ago, things seemed so clear, and now everything seems so... vague. This is expected when the sun is in opposition to Neptune (September 16). The planet's influence will not last long. In fact, when Mercury forms a trine with Pluto for the second time on September 27, you should get a very clear confirmation that you are in the right orbit.
Virgo
Sometimes, in order to find your own way, you have to rule out the noise and reconnect with what you want. This week it's easy to get disrupted orbits because the planet's phase rotates around you, but remember, if you stay centered, then nothing can disrupt you. Thanks to the pragmatism of earth and the sly Mercury, you can navigate through any maze you are thrown into. Be careful about your tendency to think too much, stick to the intuition you think is right, and you will find yourself appearing on this end on September 27, intact.
Libra
September 16, you need to get out of a mess. Not only are you intentionally misled, but it looks like you will end up taking responsibility if you don’t act quickly. Your opponent often mistakes your kind attitude for credibility, but this is not the case. Always enthusiastic, you are still a tactical sign—just as strategic as Cancer. In fact, you both have the talent to turn around the situation of someone who seriously underestimates you. On September 18, Mercury and Jupiter are tied to each other, giving you a chance to escape, but you still need to make sure that this doesn't happen again.
Scorpio
Scorpio is famous for never revealing secrets. Even if the trap is opened and the criminal is caught on the spot, people aren't sure if you are the one who exposed them. You are invisible. This is for good reason, as the trine of Mercury and Pluto on September 18 proves this. This is when you will see the return of the survey for weeks (and maybe months?). Whether you are tracking written records or finding evidence of crime, your case is impeccable. But do you really know the whole story? This is just the second out of a third, so more thirds are expected to appear on October 6.
Gemini
Are you going around in circles? This week you will feel like a ship without a rudder. You've tried all the ways you can think of to solve your current dilemma, but you still feel that the way you came up with will only make things worse. It is understandable that you want to end, but it is not feasible. Sometimes, when we are in a dilemma—just like you are now—you have to be willing to make some painful sacrifices to survive this difficult period. Make a shortlist, focus only on this, and see what happens in the next few days.
Sagittarius
Interestingly, the people we often complain about are exactly the people we miss the most when we leave. Maybe it’s because the family stayed for too long and was unpopular, maybe it’s because the friends were always in a mess, or maybe it was a colleague with a bad temper. Anyway, this person is going somewhere else, which is relieved, but also sad. You may even wonder why this person can look forward while you can only stay where you are? Let this be a reminder from the stars, everyone can turn a page, and one day it will be your turn to do it.
Capricorn
How can you make yourself do what you want in life? Voucher? Money? Time? You are so focused on your hard work that you often miss the opportunity to succeed. You have talent, resources and support, but the problem with Capricorn is that they are delayed gratification creatures, and they spend more time delaying than they enjoy. On September 18, the Sun is in the trine of Pluto in your sign, the second and last time. You need to reverse this equation. Only you can allow yourself to live the life you always want.
Pisces
You don't like cutting fabrics to fit your coats - especially when you have such gorgeous fabrics and colors to play with! Still, the Sun and Neptune on September 16 mean you might want to give it a break Your budget. Slimming expenses now allows you to avoid the humiliation of letting them streamline your expenses later; in addition, the Sun in Virgo means there are many people ready to help you.Follow their advice and you will get rid of your financial burden during this time. Remember in your childhood, you swear to never eat vegetables - but look at you now!
