Aries: Relationships continue to refine and redefine themselves this week. You are getting a clearer picture of things ahead concerning your future with friendships and partnerships. If you feel impatient at home or with close relationships, it can be good to stay busy and focus on things that relax you and get outside of the situation a bit, lest you react disproportionately. You are transitioning out of self-limiting or sabotaging thoughts and habits. Mental energy is sharpened on the 12th thanks to Mercury and Mars interaction. September is a season for self improvement and being gentle with yourself.

Taurus: It’s good to graciously accept compliments. It’s even better to have a solid self esteem all on your own, and maybe sometimes it’s good to show off a bit. That being said, someone may be trying to manipulate you by laying on the compliments very heavily. Letting things go to your head can put you in a vulnerable position and you may not even realize it. Be mindful of where things are coming from and why. Get comfortable with your curiosity and don’t just accept the way the games are played.

Gemini: Romance, finances and creativity continue to be prioritized this week. You have a strong desire to connect emotionally with others. Your imagination is strong. This is also a good week to make investments of all kinds. It doesn’t have to be your typical stocks or bonds. It can be the purchase of quality goods that will last a long time, to putting energy or money into classes or education. You have become increasingly aware of the extrinsic and intrinsic value of things in life and how certain factors play into that. Mercury moves into Virgo and you think about what you can do for others. There is more subtlety and nuance to your approach.

Aquarius: Don’t agree to anything without knowing the whole story. Take a few days before making announcements or signing up for things to take time to really complete your decision making process and to gauge your reasonings. Keep an open mind when it comes to relationships. If you are committed, this could mean that your partner will have a very different opinion than you that could be worth tuning into. If you are single, it may be a period in which you keep things casual (make sure everyone is in the loop if this is your intention).
