September has indeed arrived and with it, the pressures of the back-to-business hustle. Luckily this is what you do best—when the going gets tough, the Capricorn gets going. The Full Moon on 12 September (in your communication sector) could bring on a bit of email and text overkill. If you feel overwhelmed, you may need to pace yourself and take several tech fasts throughout that week in order to preserve your sanity. If relationships continue to be a source of strain and contention with the presence of fight-or-flight Mars in your partnership zone until the 18th, don’t fret. You’ll be happy to know that Venus, the planet of love and harmony, is on your side this month. On the 27th, the New Moon in your career sector is the perfect time to make your next round of six-month plans. Aim high but remain balanced in your expectations. The last thing you need is to set yourself up for any disappointments. You’re supposed to be the sign of patience, remember? The good things always take time to manifest. You may need to wait until spring to see all of the fruits of your current labour, but it’ll be beyond worth it.
Capricorn
The fear of being thought dull is not exclusive to Capricorn – your fellow earth sign of Virgo shares the same odd worry. Nor is your fear without reason, because a negotiated settlement with the world – and Capricorns are all bound up with the world – requires formality, decorum and a nod to the age-old powers-that-be.
Today’s new Moon finds you at a super-favourable stretch. A triangle of planets in earth signs – of which the Goat is one – puts you in the pink where matters of heart, soul and sincere (as opposed to self-seeking) ambition are concerned. Your best hopes and plans find easy purchase in the world. Old pals can be leant on, new pals are exciting. Meaningful travels hover in the wings.
With Jupiter powerful in your fifth house, romantic liaisons have a bloom to them, with good reason to stay optimistic about recent improvements or a new partner. A few squalls can’t be ruled out, not with Mars in opposition until the 19th, but the big clashes look over.
That negotiated settlement with the world (ie a career) remains as pressing as ever – with ruler Saturn in dignity in the 10th for another year it could hardly be otherwise. Here, the month of Libra, following the Equinox, raises stakes. There’s power in your words and actions in the last week of September, with the next new Moon, on the 27th, central to your future plans. You can’t sit on your hands until then, however – a charm offensive to wrongfoot rivals and jealous colleagues is one course of action opened by Venus. Another is to sit tight, follow the rules and nod to the powers that be. The 6th and 7th find you powerfully placed.
