Your September Horoscope for Aries

Join Susan Miller Stars

You will like September despite the fact that clever little Mercury will go retrograde from September 9 to October 2. It will retrograde in your opposite sign of Libra to begin, and then about half way through its three-and-a-half-week backward phase, Mercury will slide into Virgo as it continues to retrograde. Little “Wreck-It Ralph” Mercury will stay in Virgo for the rest of the time, until he finally begins to wake up and goes direct on October 2.

Will you notice a difference when Mercury switches signs in his retrograde? Possibly, because in Libra, where Mercury will begin to retrograde on September 9, will first highlight partnership matters. Those will start to be subject to change. For example, if you had planned to sign a partner to your business or planned to get engaged, you may change the date to do it. If you do, that will actually work in your favor. I love the coming full moon in Aries next month over October 8-9 (a weekend)—it will be heavenly, and by then, Mercury will be moving in the right direction. If you need a workday to sign a new business associate, consider doing so on the day prior, October 7, or the day after, October 10. Those would be equally good if you want to crystalize a partnership matter.

The second part of the Mercury retrograde will affect your day-to-day work projects when Mercury backs into Virgo on September 23. From then until October 2, you may be dealing with some backtracking, cancellations, or changes in direction.

Before Mercury goes retrograde, make sure your computer is backed up, and if you need to have software installed, do it quickly, well in advance of the date Mercury starts to retrograde, September 9.

A lot of readers buy computers and new cell phones in September or will need a car, and if you must, do so in the first days and, again, do your best to say as far away as possible from September 9—the date Mercury goes retrograde. You are already feeling the undertow as you enter the month. We always feel the delays and haywire effects of Mercury before he officially retrogrades. You should never buy a car, air conditioner, computer, smart phone, or any electronic product or appliance when Mercury is retrograde.
