Anandi’s monthly horoscope introduced by Oscar Wilde’s quote: “Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.”
Mood of the Month
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.”
– Oscar Wilde
“We tend to do our hair every day; why not the heart?” says a proverb. The world would certainly be a different place if we took this to heart in our daily lives and relationships.
Venus moves into Scorpio and takes us through the sensual and passionate emotional world of love. In the depths of Scorpio, it’s always about the whole picture – about light and shadow. Venus strives for balance and harmony. She touches old wounds with love and strives to bring healing.
Mercury moves into Libra, strengthening our ability to mediate. Communication becomes lighter and more buoyant. In the aesthetically minded sign of Libra, Mercury favours artistic expression and interpersonal skills. Its speciality: courtesy, a sense of beauty and diplomacy. Occasionally, though, it also reveals a talent for skilfully disguising one’s true intentions.
Uranus turns retrograde and directs its spotlight-like energy onto the unconscious, onto past experiences and complexes. Sudden insights may surface, especially concerning areas and agreements where you long for more freedom and change. Which “corset” has become too tight? Where do I need more independence? …important questions for the next five months…
Together with the New Moon in Virgo, a phase can now begin in which old agreements and details can be revised. At the same time, it may mark the starting point of a new inner attitude that calls for greater freedom of movement and individuality.
Chiron moves back into the fire sign of Aries. Once again, the focus turns to themes such as self-assertion, initiative and the courage to take charge of one’s own life. Chiron has the gift of healing wounds. In Aries, its focus is on becoming aware of the fears, inhibitions and resistances that block action and assertiveness.
The Sun moves into Libra, encouraging a sense of community as well as a desire for art, culture and harmony. Its strengths lie in the ability to shape relationships harmoniously, fairly and justly. It can soothe combativeness and create peace.
The Full Moon in Aries highlights the interplay between self-centredness and the ability to form relationships. The Sun in Libra advocates for justice and love, while the Moon in Aries is impulsive and wants to assert its own will. Both energies are important. Their interplay – “You and me” – is only possible through compromise, adaptation, and understanding. Otherwise, it usually boils down to “You or me.”
Towards the end of the month, Mars moves into Leo, bringing plenty of drive, courage and zest for life. The urge for self-expression increases. The mood becomes more dramatic, more colourful, more expressive – goals need to be grand and magnificent. We’ll encounter this again and again throughout October.
Last but not least, Mercury moves into Scorpio, bringing detective-like skills and a critical spirit into play. It’s about uncovering the truth. Hidden things come to light, and communication becomes more intense and confrontational. Its profound impact will be felt throughout October.
September is getting off to a slow start, but the intensity will pick up starting in the middle of the month. There’s a lot that needs to be clarified and renegotiated, both professionally and personally. And by the end of the month, it’s time to let your creativity run wild!
Aries, 21 March – 19 April
September brings situations that call for you to rethink your actions so far and evaluate the results. The energy is there – but where are you putting it to use? Instead of rushing emotionally from one experience to the next, pause more often and take stock. What has gotten off to a successful start so far, and what has it achieved? Pay more attention to quality than quantity. Neptune romanticises quite a few things and tempts you into beautiful dreams, but Saturn insists on tangible results. Analyse what brings genuine benefit and let go of everything you no longer need – including other people’s unsolicited advice. Listen to your own impulses and follow what is practical.
Taurus, 20 April – 20 May
Harvest time! Much may now come to fruition. Chiron points to the areas of life where healing wants to happen and what can support these processes. The best approach is: look at the here and now and appreciate this moment. From mid-month, Venus and Pluto strengthen the desire for genuine closeness and emotional depth. Happiness comes through the willingness to stay open and to wish only for what is actually happening right now. If things in your relationships aren’t going the way you’d like, stay flexible and wait it out. Perhaps everyone still needs a little time to explore and clarify their own needs more deeply. Take it easy!
Gemini, 21 May – 21 June
Saturn and Neptune bring strength, structure and foresight – the best conditions for reshaping your current situation. Your goals have become clearer by now. Now the fun can begin. Build a solid foundation. Gather important information and facts. Sort and plan. Neptune expands your outlook and casts your projects in a more beautiful light. But stay practical and proceed with moderation. To achieve a far-reaching effect, you need reliable allies. Most of them are already close by – invite them to join in. Treat each other as equals, and let everyone shape their own area. Off you go, and good luck!
Cancer, 22 June – 22 July
A good month to rethink your habitual reactions to outside triggers. Mars heats up the mood and lowers your threshold of restraint. Moods and whims take over control, which can show up as quick offence and lingering grudges – but also as joyful emotional exuberance! On the positive side, Mars stirs up soft and caring feelings; he activates your protective instinct and deepens your intuition. The New Moon advises you to approach daily life in a more matter-of-fact way. Direct your energy into practical action – organise, sort and analyse. Keep what brings you joy, and let go of everything unpleasant. Inwardly as well as outwardly!
Leo, 23 July – 22 August
Uranus calls the inner rebel into action, demanding more freedom, more autonomy for your life. It takes the courage of a lion to go your own way! But that also means accepting the parts of yourself you don’t like so much. These stand out immediately in your interactions with others! They are traits that can either bother you enormously in someone else or absolutely delight you – clear indications of shadow aspects of yourself that you’ve projected onto others. Instead of demonising the other person or putting them on a pedestal, use this moment to reclaim these qualities… Observe, relax, recognise and accept them as a reflection of yourself. Hand on heart – that makes it easier!
Virgo, 23 August – 22 September
A month of gentle approaches! This is especially close to your heart, given your innate modesty. Mercury sharpens your intuition to catch the right moment, and Saturn points you toward the appropriate way to set your plans in motion or to make adjustments. This allows you to influence things without hesitation and steer them in the right direction. Lilith gives your words great power, and you may feel tempted to speak your mind without holding back. But wait – some things aren’t yet ripe enough to be said outright. Stay thoughtful and careful, weigh things up. Keep an eye on the bigger picture and avoid unnecessary drama, for your own sake and for others!
Libra, 23 September – 23 October
At the start of the month, Venus helps you tidy up, inwardly as well as outwardly. You may run into some resistance along the way, since clearing out entrenched chaos always takes extra effort. But beauty needs order! Mercury points to the areas where more clarity is needed. If you feel overwhelmed, ask the experts among your friends for help – this collaboration will pay off. From mid-month, the tables may suddenly turn. You become aware of the way you get attached to people and things. Be generous, and give freely what your heart wants to give – spontaneously and without ulterior motive. When others ask for help, step up. A good month for “Love in Action.”
Scorpio, 24 October – 21 November
As a Scorpio, you’re an expert in living intensely. September offers several opportunities to show your skill at “turning crises into opportunities” – especially in matters of the heart. Venus is by your side, advising you to follow your heart, especially when the mood hits rock bottom. Love knows that no one is perfect. So instead of immediately lashing out when something goes against your expectations, stay flexible and: stay there! Allow for the possibility that things might actually be quite different from how you perceive them. There’s a fine line between a half-hearted compromise and a willingness to reconcile. You know how to walk that line while staying true to yourself.
Sagittarius, 22 November – 21 December
Jupiter stirs a need for a more open approach to others. Meanwhile, new desires have emerged. It’s becoming clearer what you’re willing to share of yourself and your resources – and what you’re not! Uranus calls for more freedom, equality, and spontaneity in your interactions and relationships. And yes, are you yourself ready for a new style of commitment? Are you open-minded enough to live more authentically and let go of conservative values and rituals – such as traditional role divisions, monogamy, possessiveness, and permanence – and to allow your partner to do the same? Uranus points to behavioural patterns that need a breath of fresh air. Experiment, but do so wisely.
Capricorn, 22 December – 19 January
Whether in private or at work – quite a few situations currently feel rather murky and somehow throttled. What to do? Saturn puts the brakes on your plans and recommends getting on top of the situation inwardly first, before becoming active outwardly. Go through your current plans and events thoroughly once more. A closer look will reveal where adjustments need to be made or where you need to start over. Perhaps some needs weren’t taken into account. In the meantime, find some peace, treat yourself to breaks, and take care of your body and health. In the last third of the month, your love life will require more commitment and a better balance between giving and receiving. Show more generosity!
Aquarius, 20 January – 18 February
Instead of trying to radically change your surroundings and chasing every new trend, take a slower and more thoughtful approach. Uranus advises you to direct the rebel within you towards your personal attitude. There, old thought patterns and emotional reactions may need a breath of fresh air. Whatever new ideas come your way, sort them by usefulness and, above all, by whether they can inspire others too. Right now, your impulses can have a huge effect on your interactions with others and spark reforms. If the person you’re talking to isn’t listening, keep taking the motivating approach and share your knowledge with anyone who’s open to it. Rejoice in your creativity and go with the flow!
Pisces, 19 February – 20 March
Order is essential. September brings new energies and opportunities – material as well as spiritual. It’s easy to lose track of things in the process. Organise things according to priorities: What does my daily life need? My body? What brings me peace of mind and well-being? Instead of following your compassion as usual and passing on any surplus – especially financial – directly to others, use your resources carefully, invest, and seek advice. It’s time to put yourself first and look out for your own interests. Others might end up envying your abundance, but remember: you have every right to be proud of what you’ve created through your own efforts.
