Astrology Forecast for September 9-15, 2013
by Kathy Biehl
Assessing and getting clarity are giving way to strategies, implementation and spur-of-the-moment leaps. This week talk turns lyrical. We push against the walls of the known universe. Desires heat up. Hard, simplifying truths arrive. Then we zoom (or are catapulted) into a liberating, self-actualizing direction.
A new and multilayered mode of communicating and relating provides the backdrop, which comes from two planets changing signs. On Monday, cosmic messenger Mercury enters Libra, relationship central, where he weaves awareness of others into our thoughts and words. He encourages well-turned phrases, poetic gestures, an appreciation of harmony and visual beauty, and discourse on fairness and social justice. On Wednesday, the doyenne of Libra, Venus, moves into down and dirty Scorpio, where her niceties dissolve in primal passions, desires and impulses.
Beautiful words with potent forces churning beneath them mean that undercurrents will be powerful. Mercury and Venus in these two signs operate like the subtitled scene in Annie Hall, without the self-doubt and deprication and heavy on mental undressing and more.
The week’s action starts on Monday with Mars, ruler of our drive and energy, testing Saturn, the cosmic brake. We hit a wall — rules, an obligation, an institution, authority or force with greater power or resources — and we kick it. We demand our fair share (probably more than we ordinarily claim; look up “lion’s share”) from an investment of time, money or energy. We may not see immediate progress, but the mere impact builds up pressure and momentum that will find release by the weekend.
