Sagittarius

Sagittarius (Ruling Planet: Jupiter; Element: Fire) Sagittarians are crazy fun, and wild. You’re a generous friend, and always try to be straightforward. The Archer is an intellectual, passionate about philosophy and travel. But with this passionate energy, and your constant need for independence, comes a carelessness typical of most fire signs. When honest, you tend to be tactless. When ambitious, you can be impatient and inconsistent. And you are prone to taking things for granted.

Jupiter is your ruling planet, so you should probably pay attention to its shift this month from Virgo to Libra. Now, you can expand on all the progress that you’ve made in the past year– with your career, social circle, and life path– and opportunities for expansion will increase two-fold within the next year. The Sun joining Libra on the 22nd, and a new moon in the sign on the 30th, will help with new social expansion and opportunities. In fact, the moon’s influence this month is quite potent and a solar eclipse in Virgo on the 1st will have you seriously giving out second chances. Then, there’s a lunar eclipse in Pisces that will require comfort and familiarity as you try to let go of some emotional baggage, including people who just aren’t there for you when you need ‘em. But don’t make any big changes until Mercury is out of retrograde on the 22nd. Romantic relationships can get pushed to the backburner while Venus is in Scorpio around the end of the month, and your drive to immediately git shit done will taper off as Mars transits Capricorn on the 22nd.

Your September Trax: This month, it’s important to reflect on your choices in the last year, especially your choice of friends. So listen to old songs that you find comfort in. Something like Wilco’s new album, Schmilco, out on Sept. 9th via dBpm might be suitable. Better yet, this song by Chance the Rapper is the most comforting thing I’ve listened to in years. Or consider another classic, Hilary Duff’s 2003 smash hit Come Clean.
