Aries

Aries (Ruling Planet: Mars; Element: Fire) If you’re a typical Aries, you’re a risk-taker. You’re a fire sign, so you’re adventurous, brave, and lively — all traits that attract others to the Ram, although most find it hard to keep up. You’re always down to try new things. You impulsively take up a new projects and yet still find the time to be passionate about them. However, Aries, you can be quite arrogant, thinking that you know everything, and you tend to be insensitive, impatient and stubborn, even to the point of being confrontational. Your motto is, “Act first, ask questions later.”

Jupiter moves over to Libra on September 9th, and for you, this means a total social expansion over the next year, including meeting tons of new people, playing more of a peacemaker, and strengthening any existing romantic relationships — but only if you stay on top of it. With both the Sun and a new moon occurring in Libra at the end of the month, and with the help of intense Scorpio’s influence on Venus, the passion you have for your relationships will only be emphasized. Then, your ruling planet (Mars) shifts into calculated Capricorn, signaling a good time to suss out your long-term goals. Things might get weird in the realm of work when Mercury retrogrades briefly this month, but don’t worry too much, and be sure not to start a completely new project until the 22nd when the retrograde ends. Lastly, the two eclipses will give off some potent energy this month. Especially look for the lunar eclipse on the 16th, which marks a time for a big release and facing subconscious issues.

Your September Trax: To kick off Libra’s year in lucky Jupiter and your time of social expansion, why not getchu something you (and your new pals) can to sing-a-long to? Locals The Color and Sound’s Peace of Mind is just anthemic and folk-rocky enough. There’s always Goodness, this year’s release from Worcester band, The Hotelier.
