Horoscopes: September 4, 2013

Aries (March 20 – April 18)

Having fought to get certain arrangements up and running, your instincts are to fight to keep them going. Examine these more carefully and you’ll recognise that times have changed and so, too, must these. Once the facts are clear, you’ll realise you aren’t getting nearly as much as you’re giving.

Taurus (April 19 – May 19)

Don’t misinterpret the need to unload certain longstanding arrangements as any sign you’ve failed. You haven’t, although you may not have recognised the degree to which things have moved on, but these haven’t. While in some cases these can be updated, in most it’s time to consider other, more timely, options.

Gemini (May 20 – June 20)

While you’ve accomplished a great deal recently, it’s been hard work and you need a break. You’ll get it, and one that includes time with those whose company you really enjoy, but not until next week. The issues you put to rest between now and then will more than justify the wait.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

Being ruled by the Moon you’re often more conscious of its influence than others. Yet even you could misunderstand the stillness that accompanies the current New Moon as an oddly quiet period. Actually that quiet is giving you an opportunity to reflect on the changes currently coming your way and what must remain.

Leo (July 22 – August 21)

As much as you’re benefitting from the boost in energy and ego Mars’ presence in Leo brings, there are drawbacks as well. The one you’re wrestling with now is a tendency to impatience, even when it can cause problems. Reining this in may be challenging, but if you don’t, you risk serious clashes.

Virgo (August 22 – September 21)

Although every sign is influenced by the New Moon and the fresh perspective it triggers, because this one is in Virgo, it’s likely you’re already in the midst of an extensive review. Bear in mind this isn’t about taking action. You’ll do that later. For now, simply consider what works and what doesn’t.

Libra (September 22 – October 22)

Knowing you’ll need to rethink the practical or financial side of your life, which has been on your mind for some time is one thing. And then there’s doing it. While life has been quiet and there’s been little pressure, suddenly things are beginning to move swiftly, enough you’re aware these can’t wait for long.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

For some weeks you’ve felt the need to rethink certain arrangements but haven’t known where to start. Happily, the changes in circumstance that accompany the New Moon are making those decisions for you. Resist the temptation to organise those changes. Let them unfold as they need to and at their own pace.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

After weeks spent dealing the tricky situations complicated by the need of certain individuals to retain control over every stage of developments you’re ready for a break. You won’t get it, at least over the next few days. However, this time it will be you who’s eager to keep on top of everything.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 18)

When you organised certain plans, you were focusing more on whether they’d work than concerns they’d disrupt existing elements of your life. Now that it’s clear they will, you can either try to keep both going or say farewell to those increasingly outdated arrangements. Deep down, you know it’s time they went.

Aquarius (January 19 – February 17)

There’s good reason to stick with one particular arrangement or alliance as it is. However, there is a difference between simply believing this and explaining it to others, which is proving surprisingly complicated. Still, persist. Although it may take awhile, eventually you’ll get the point you’re trying to make across.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Getting those around you to agree to your plans or ideas has been challenging enough, but you’ve managed that. Now, however, you’re facing certain rules, regulations or legal matters. Your persuasive powers will achieve little with these. Gather all the facts and be prepared to present them in the way you’d told to.
