ROCKAWAY’S SEPTEMBER HOROSCOPES
By Catherine McQuaid
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Passionate Aries may encounter seasonal mood-dips as summer days wind down. However, stay alert for opportunities and changes that accompany longer days and nights. Focus your energies on your profession/livelihood and exert financial authority as needed. Attention to daily habits around nurturance and bodily health will support the clarity and inspirational spark you seek.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): This month, try to connect deeply with nature by experiencing your environment through all five senses. Great time to begin healthful and/or spiritual practices like yoga or meditation. Find new paths to satisfaction and well-being — through entertainment, daily pleasures, friendships
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini, great endings and beginnings await you, especially around home, family, love, career, and strengthening your voice in the world. Look for work opportunities, an advantageous move, a chance to end, improve, or modify an established relationship. Thanks to your flexible air sign, you have a strong (if sometimes hidden) flair for adaptability, plus a gift for quick thought and action. Rely on both in the days to come.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): September brings important opportunities to: 1. clarify your boundaries and needs/desires within close relationships and 2. make changes to improve those intimate connections. Doing so will nourish your spirit and may help you achieve long-held goals, possibly involving travel, physical health, emotional well-being.
LEO (July 23-August 22): Your bold, childlike, creative nature enters Virgo season with an urge to shake up and reorganize elements of your career, finances, and work schedule. Pursue a welcome shift in emphasis — from inspiring flights of fancy to a more concrete, thoughtfully grounded direction.
VIRGO (August 23-September 22): As your season coincides with Indian Summer, allow yourself to unwind; embrace new ways of seeing yourself and others. Perfection may be a buzzword for service-minded Virgo but, sometimes, selfless impulses need to be turned inward. Make this your time for rest, contemplation, self-healing and recharging. Remember, nobody’s perfect and no one should expect to be.
LIBRA (September 23-October 22): Pay extra attention to how you nourish and resource your physical body. Then, focus on the connection between physical and mental health. Allow ancestry and family to assume greater prominence than previously, and don’t be afraid to ask for the support you need. Expect breakthroughs in managing long held anxieties.
SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): You’ve been experimenting with how you communicate and present yourself to the world. This month, lean into past and present sources of pleasure, entertainment, inspiration. This effort will correlate with groups you contact, explore and/or join. Water sign Scorpio promotes deep personal connections and artistic expression, which will help you achieve 1. more complete self-acceptance and 2. heightened creative powers.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21): On the table this month: how you value yourself and your relationship to money. With the upcoming eclipse firing off your 10th house of profession, the stars will align to favor a professional breakthrough. Time to mobilize your power of assertion; take that leap of faith; actively pursue work opportunities and/or side hustles you’ve been thinking about.
CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): Capricorn is the goat that can scale steep mountains. This sign helped you face personal transformations and forced initiations in recent years. Now, fall brings an impulse for movement, exploration, travel. Start small by exploring new neighborhoods (or even your own) with a childlike eye. Take a load off and surprise everyone by acting the part of deserving customer … rather than efficient manager.
AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18): Aquarius is a technological sign and it’s a great time to enhance daily life and self-expression with hi-tech gadgets, toys, innovations. If money’s still on your mind, look for monetary help and personal support from unexpected sources. Connecting with family (and ancestry) in fresh, new ways will help ease family-related issues.
PISCES (February 19-March 20): Chances are, you’ve been engaging with your local community. Resist urges to retreat into personal spaces. Instead, expect new friendships, collaboration and interactions to continue throughout this month. Try new ways of relating to others and understanding yourself. Expect a revived sense of power and energy by mid-month.
