Weekly astrology readings: Sept. 3, 2013

Vedic Astrology forecast: In the forecast for the first week of September, the emotional deep waters of Cancer are dominating our lives with Mars and Mercury transitioning in this sign. This means that communication and our will powers will be drowning to be heard and trying “very hard” to get things done. Mars does not do so well in this sign of the subconscious mind and motherly feelings; it makes our warrior breeds cry too much. Mercury is in its enemy’s sign and miscommunications could run amok. It will be the situation of thinking too fast before you speak. On a positive note, the Sun will be in Leo, which will give everyone a boost in leadership qualities and getting your immediate needs fulfilled. Just keep a close eye on the ego, and do not be too demanding.

Aries Horoscope: (Apr 13 – May 14)

These are very emotional and draining days for our “good’” warrior Aries. With Mars in Cancer and the Moon in Aries, this throws too much water on your fire. This energy will make you slow your pace down a bit and double check your work before turning it in. This is a good time for introspective evaluation of the things going on in your life. Instead of being frustrated with the watery nature of Cancer, use her nurturing guidance to understand your usually ignored deep feelings. Motherly personalities will be very comforting to you, seek out their association and offer some service. Of course, with the elements of fire and water meeting, there is a good chance of hot arguments breaking out between you and your loved ones, so watch your temper.

Taurus Horoscope: (May 15 – Jun 13)

Our Taurus natives must keep an eye on having a constant “good time”. Your ruler Venus is still brooding around in Virgo, fallen in this sign. This will affect your mind and how you deal with the public. Even though Virgo gives you some intellectual insights and discrimination powers, Venus may want to take you on sexually wilding adventures. “Party until you drop” is Venus in Virgo mantra. Therefore, keep a balance. Remember these impulses will only be around for a month or so. Don’t get yourself in troubles that may last the rest of your life. Think hard before you do something.

 Gemini Horoscope: (Jun 14 – Jul 13)

Our Gemini natives are dealing with hot and cold communications in their lives. One minute you are cool as an autumn breeze, and the next you are having a hissy fit over some trivial comment. These emotions are coming from the energies of having your ruler Mercury in Cancer with Mars. Emotions will be all over the place this month; just tolerate it. Things will improve later on. Focus on getting your projects done and using the Mars energy to cut through the red tape.

Cancer Horoscope: (Jul 14 – Aug 13)

Our Cancer folks must watch their temperamental state, especially this week with your ruler (the Moon), heading into her house and your sign by this weekend. With both Mars and Mercury already there, this is bound to create arguments and misunderstandings with anyone who comes near you. Try to keep a cool head. And even though this is hard for most of you, try to do things by yourself. However, if you are in a role that you must be in contact with others, remember the uncomfortable feelings you may have is because of your own inner turmoil. Go get a deep tissue massage, drink some relaxing herbal teas and listen to gentle music; by doing this you can keep your sanity during these emotional times.

Leo Horoscope: (Aug 14 – Sept 13)

Our Leo natives are still feeling on top of the world! The Sun is transitioning in Leo, and this will yield strong feelings of leadership and help you in accomplishing your goals. Put your best foot forward and go for the gusto. With Mars and Mercury in Cancer, Leos will not only be dominating in the male areas of life, but also hounding the female areas. It is only going to be for a month, and will be insightful in improving one’s life. So let them roar!

Virgo Horoscope: (Sept 14 – Oct 13)

Our Virgo natives are seeking refuge in communicating their love to that “special” significant other, but unfortunately it is a good chance that their lover is of questionable character. With fallen Venus in your sign, she may attract you to “wild” deceitful men or women, who may use your love for financial gain. Be careful of this. Even though you feel a great pressure to be “in love” it really is not the best time. Just be friends with benefits, watch your money and use a condom.

Libra Horoscope: (Oct 14 – Nov 13)

There are all kinds of deep visions (if not straight-up illusions) going on in the minds of our Libra natives. This is a very intense time because of so many planets affecting you. Many of you may resort to falling into the partying, drinking and drugs scene, but this would be a great mistake. Fight these urges, and focus your mind on the great imagination of your inner self. This is a good time for writing novels, songs, poetry or any aspects of the arts. Your imagination is at its peak. So take advantage of this state of mind instead of falling into the illusions of intoxication.

Scorpio Horoscope: (Nov 14 – Dec 15)

Our Scorpio natives are “fit to be tied!” You are not in the best of moods these days. Jealous rages, stalking people, and a few murders thrown in there may be on the menu of our Scorpio natives this month. Take a chill pill, please. Leave your lovers and marriage partners alone; they are not cheating on you. It is all in your head because of Mars drowning in Cancer. Wait until next month to confront anybody, after Mars leaves this sign. Good luck.

Sagittarius Horoscope: (Dec 16 – Jan 12)

Our Sagittarius natives will be attracted to the more subtle forms of life. With Mars, the Moon, and Mercury in your eight house (the house of death), you will take pleasure in a good scary movie about the ghoulish, vampires, ghosts or the science of reincarnation. Death and issues concerning the matter will fascinate you. It is like going through Halloween for a whole month.  Your ruler Jupiter will help you express these ideals through Gemini, but most of your associates will wonder what’s up with you. There will be some friends who love your insights, but be aware that others may not identify with your deep interests at this time.

Capricorn Horoscope: (Jan 13 – Feb 15)

Capricorns are dealing with “mother issues” and have been for most of the year. Either in your professional life or in family ties, motherly characters are challenging your peace of mind. If it is your mother, please be patient with her. Destiny is making you pay your dues to her for the next year. If it is motherly personalities (and this may include males as well), try to learn the deeper meanings of these frustrating interactions instead of just blowing up. There are many lessons to be learned from the motherly characters in our life, and you have a great chance of developing a more nurturing understanding about dealing with people. So take advantage of this cycle.

Aquarius Horoscope: (Feb 16 – Mar 14)

Aquarians must be patient with their subordinates like children, spouses, employees, students, servants or slaves. Mars’ placement in Cancer will make you short tempered with them. Watch your authoritarian nature and big ego, or you will make vicious enemies among your dependents. Also, beware of Venus in Virgo, which may turn you into a partying fiend. There are opportunities coming your way this year and the next, and if you are having too much fun hanging out with your buddies, they will be missed. So keep a balance.

Pisces Horoscope: (Mar 13 – Apr 12)

Our Pisces natives must keep a close eye on children under their care. Mars placement could bring harm them. However, you communication with children or “childlike” adults is very good with Mercury in Cancer. This gives you a strong nurturing relationship with them, which children will find encouraging in their development. This would be a good time to apply for a job or internship working with children or their issues. Venus in Virgo will be pressuring you to find an instant lover to have around, but this is not a good move. Because of Venus’ fallen state in Virgo, your love life will have deceptions that may cause you great problems in the future. It is best to keep focus on developing your career and academics. God bless you.
