九月星座運勢 巨蟹座

This is one of those wild ride months where you may wish you had stayed in bed. If you should ever feel this way, know that you have plenty of company from the rest of the signs. Everyone will be feeling stress as planets kick up cosmic storms at mid-month, but actually, the mutable signs will be wrestling the most with what is going on. (Those are Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, and Sagittarius.) As a result, because you are not a mutable sign, you may find you are a bystander to what goes on and may be asked to help those who are facing tougher challenges than you.

If you have one of the mutable signs as a rising sign or several planets in these signs in late degrees (22 to 29), then you may feel some stress. You should read for your rising sign each month, so if you know it, do that, for sure. In a month like what's coming, it's always better to buckle up and be ready for what's to come than be taken unaware.

The best way to handle September is to not launch anything new, sign a contract, make commitments, or form any big plans. It's a month to watch and wait, not initiate. Most of the gang of planets that will be arguing with one another in mid-month will be in your third and ninth houses, ruling your attitudes and opinions, thoughts and reflections. These houses also rule study, communication, teaching, and intellect. These are considered gentle houses, so you are fortunate, for other signs will be dealing with a great deal more than you.

You will do best to think outside the box and to see the world with a fresh, new perspective. You need to do this to develop untried ways to attack old problems. If something sounds too good to be true, be skeptical and consider turning it down. Planets in Virgo suggest that a large measure of reality will be presented to each of us. You will be challenged to be as practical and grounded as possible.

None of this will be evident as you begin September. The air will be clear, bright, and breezy, and you will be feeling rightly enthusiastic about enjoying a fun weekend ahead near the glorious, friendly full moon of September 4. It will fall in Pisces, a sign that blends perfectly with yours.

Truly, life should be lyrical at this time, and with the full moon falling in a travel sphere, you may be away on a distant trip and perhaps getting ready to return home within four days of this date. Or, you may be moving to college and getting ready to set up your dorm room. The ninth house, where this full moon will light, also rules institutions of higher learning and plans we make toward getting a degree.

In the United States, this full moon will mark the start of the Labor Day weekend, a time when everyone is happy about getting a little time off and soaking up the last rays of summer. It's a sentimental time too, as summer is coming to a close, and there is always a feeling that if there's something left undone, this is the time to do it. If you have a major trip planned, it should turn out to be a great time to be away. Even if you are not based in America, of course, this weekend is sure to please you.

The theme of taking in and giving out information for any purpose may also come up at this time. You may be finishing up special research or a writing project. If you work in film, you may be putting the final touches on a documentary or news story that soon will be broadcast. If you are a musician, you may be working on a piece of music that you've composed or produced and getting ready to finish it.

This full moon will send an especially sweet kiss to Mars in Cancer, so clearly, you will be feeling proud of whatever you accomplish in the first week of September. You will be in control, which is always a position everyone wants to be in. You've not felt in control in ages, so this new feeling could allow those old feelings of optimism to surface, and rightly so.

With a full moon in divinely compatible Pisces, this first weekend may bring on a memorable romantic episode. You may meet a new sweetheart on a trip (or on the airplane, for example), or in a classroom setting. If you are attached, then you'll travel with your one and only, and that should be a delight, too. As a Cancer, the moon is your guardian planet, so the fact that this full moon is supportive is a blessing.

While all Cancers should find this full moon to be a happy one, if you were born on or within four days of July 3, you will benefit even more than most.

The tough time of the month will occur from September 15 to 23. First, on September 15, Saturn will oppose Uranus. These two planets have not had a "high noon" confrontation like this for 40 years, but they first started meeting like this last November 4, 2008, and they continued to meet toe-to-toe on February 5, and now again, on September 15. Saturn and Uranus will meet twice again on April 26 and July 26, 2010, before they spin apart, not to meet again for years and years - not until May 2056.

As you see, you are in the midst of a process of changing your thinking and also strengthening your confidence. Uranus opposed to Saturn can have many positive results. These two last met in late 1960's and although social unrest was strong, the results from the public dialogue that ensued turned out to be necessary and positive. The same may be the case in 2009 and 2010. Saturn rules the tried and true, established methods and thinking, and Uranus rules innovation and change. It is time to "catch up" with changing conditions - you will see this to be true.

Saturn, although a rather strict planet that reminds us of our obligations, also wants us to go with the times. This is always obvious when Saturn changes signs, a once-every-two-year occurrence. Saturn first entered Virgo in early September 2007, so this planet has been in this sign for two years. Soon Saturn will make a monumental shift into Libra on October 29, but will return briefly to Virgo from April 7 to June 21, 2010. Clearly, we are in one of those transitional times, a point where you will be seeing the world in different terms, and will need new methods to cope with what comes up.

Things will continue to whip up on September 17, a date that gets my vote for hardest day of the month, and very possibly of the year. Uranus, the planet ruling surprises, will oppose the Sun from 180 degrees across the sky. The Sun is the natural ruler of your house of earned income, so you may hear untoward news about earnings, or you may need to write a large check on this day. News will be very unexpected. Be sure to keep track of your belongings as you don't want to lose something of value, which is possible if you become forgetful.

Saturn will also conjoin the Sun on this very same day, September 17, and that is remarkable. I can't remember these two big planets ever hitting the Sun on the same day. Saturn makes us toe the line, so there will be no wiggle room to get out of facing up to a certain obligation. Saturn is the cold, icy planet of reality, and it does not mix well with the Sun, a hot, fiery element.

The very next day, September 18, a troublesome new moon will appear. Uranus and Saturn will now come after that new moon too, with Uranus opposing that moon and Saturn conjoining it. Pluto will get into the act as well, by adding his two cents and characteristic pressure. You may feel no support from a partner, or you may feel put upon by a competitor or detractor.

The Sun and moon rule your parents, so you will need to keep an eye on both your mother and father though this period. The activity will take place in the third house, so you will want to keep in close touch with siblings and cousins, too.

This new moon, September 18, could alternatively have a bearing on your domestic condition, so you may have to reflect about where to live, or how, for example, and if so, this question may take time to answer. Every problem has a solution - take your time and come up with several possibilities so that you can pick the one that works best for you.

You are fortunate in that Mars is in Cancer now and will remain so until October 15. Mars will give you authority, control, and energy, and these will all be qualities you will find handy to have this month. This is a big advantage, dear Cancer! Others will come to you for answers, so be ready for that. You are a cardinal sign, so you are comfortable when you are at the helm, and that's good. The presence of Mars in Cancer suggests that you are in the process of beginning a new cycle in October.

Mars will hit 15 degrees on September 18 and 19 (depending on your time zone), triggering news related to events that surrounded the July 7 eclipse. That's a major development, and will add another layer of news and activity to September 18-19. Mars will highlight your own interests and your feelings about a certain relationship.

Keep in mind that Cancer will not be the center of all this activity - Virgo and Pisces will be, and Gemini and Sagittarius will be a close second. Clearly, however, you will feel and see some of the fallout, if only because you are a close witness to it all.

The cosmic storm won't be over yet, for Mercury will be next to feel a direct challenge by Uranus. This is a nerve-wracking aspect. Both planets are associated with the body's natural electrical circuits, but with Mercury in a weak position and being confronted by Uranus, you may feel overwrought. Aim to get to the truth - you may get mixed messages or sudden news, and you will have to get the whole story.

Actually, all month Mercury will be retrograde, so aside from this very difficult day, incorrect or misleading data will scramble things. It won't be easy to tell what to believe and what to discard. That's why you have no choice but to move slowly. Mercury also rules travel, but with these planets battling in your two travel sectors, your third house and ninth, it would be unwise to be on the road - aside from September's first week and days surrounding the full moon, September 4, which could actually be excellent. If you can put off until later a trip you need to take, do so, and make it for October.

Dear Cancer, I am only dealing with levels of probability. Astrology is not fortunetelling. When I see mathematical curves rise as I am seeing now, I will always urge caution. Don't be too anxious, for you are so lucky to have Mars protecting you in your sign of Cancer. It's the equivalent of having a bodyguard, and that's no small advantage.

I usually close your report with a mention of your romantic prospects, and as mentioned, the full moon in tender Pisces September 4 could bring on quite a lovely episode, one you will want to replay over and over in your mind.

Later, I feel you will be distracted with news swirling around you, and also with news in the media. It will be hard to relax at mid-month, and for feelings of love to flow, I feel it is necessary to be in a receptive state.

Still, Mars in Cancer will make you more attractive and vital, sexy, and confident, and it will be easy for you to magnetize the right person into your constellation. That's no small edge to have! Like a haunting fragrance, you will be both memorable and mysterious - and this is true of both men and women Cancers - so if you are single, proceed, but carefully.

Summary

The past two months have been benchmark months for you, dear Cancer. An eclipse in Cancer (July 21) and in your opposite sign of Capricorn (July 7) and a lunar eclipse in your money house in Aquarius (August 5) have required you to stay alert and to respond to lightning quick-moving events. Those were active weeks, to say the least. Now, in the first week of September, you will get a chance to enjoy being in a new setting. You should take it.

Mercury will be retrograde all month, from September 7 to 29 (but felt as soon as the first day of September). In truth, you've been so busy that you may actually welcome the postponements and slower pace that Mercury will bring.

It may be hard for you to sit still. Mercury will urge you to slow down, while Mars, now in Cancer, will tell you to hurry up. You will want to follow through on all the offers you are being presented, but without making a final commitment. It's a good time to study offers, but not to accept them. Keep an open mind, ask questions, and decide what is right for you. Holding back will be a bit frustrating, of course. It's understandable that you will want to press forward, for you have problems to solve, plans to advance, and people to see.

The middle of September will be draining for everyone. Clashing planets will bring certain troubling information to light during the week of September 14 and cause you to change your attitude and your perspective concerning an important relationship or situation. Do not try to convince anyone of anything during this week - you will be met with overwhelming opposition.

By the new moon September 18, it will be time to accept reality and stop believing in someone or something that you had hoped would change but won't. This situation is what it is, and nothing you can do will have much of an effect. As it's been said, leopards don't change their spots. It is possible that you seem to be at the sidelines and not the subject of the fuss, but that only means friends, family, and even casual contacts will come to you for solutions.

In addition to family relationships, which will likely be a focus, you may have some very trying times with money near September 17. Relationship news that will come up near September 17-23 won't be easy to solve either.

Be aware that this month, but especially on or near September 23, you may say things impulsively that could be hurtful, so be careful of how you deliver your opinions. You won't be able to take those words back.

Life will improve by October. Angry planets will back off and become silent as they sulk. Mercury will turn direct on September 29. Yet despite the swirling atmosphere that September will bring on, you will leave the month enlightened, and possibly even feeling changed forever. By early October you will be able to move forward forcefully - you'll have Mars in Cancer until October 16. Use your power wisely.

Dates to note

Your best romantic dates are: September 2, 3, 4, 12-13, and 30.

Travel over the full moon September 4. You can go as far as you like.

Mercury will be retrograde: September 7 to 29, but don't do anything important in September. Instead, do research, collect information, and get organized.

Expect difficult opposition September 17 when the Sun and Uranus clash.

Saturn will conjoin the Sun on the same day, September 17, bringing a sobering reality to a financial situation.

Siblings and cousins could be a focus of attention near September 15-23.

By the new moon, September 18, you'll need to begin to craft a realistic plan, but don't implement anything until October.

Be careful of what you say: September 23. The wrong words could haunt you forever.

Mars will be in Cancer: from the start of September through October 15. Use this rare cosmic favor later, in October.
