MONTHLY HOROSCOPES

Kim Fairminer

Aries

There are eerie goings-on just beyond hearing range. You’ d do well to trust these uncanny interludes if they’ re whispering sage advice about the need for retreat and rest. Of course, there’ s plenty to do in your day-to-day – there always will be – but primeval musings from beyond the veil come rarely. Listen closer. The solar eclipse offers you a renewed perspective on your service to others( including pensive pets). Feeling absolutely maxed out and exasperated by Sisyphean tasks isn’ t an essential part of your life experience. Be realistic about your capacity to give.

Taurus

The lunar eclipse presents a strange but potentially joyous time to be with likehearted people. Don’ t overthink it. If you feel like you belong, you do. Open your heart and your mind will follow. Allow your artistry and sense of fun to be expressed through collaborative interplay. You love to be productive, but the solar eclipse reminds you that even the most fertile field needs a fallow period. Perhaps your creative well has run dry or you notice you are being a little snappy with the kids? If so, set some time aside for directionless daydreaming.

Gemini

You are called to the front of the queue and have a glorious moment in the Sun – and the eclipsed Moon, as that’ s when it happens. Relax, you’ ve done your homework. Yes, you glitter, but you’ re also gold. Extra-lucky Geminis may even receive a boost to their bank account connected to this moment of achievement. After all that publicity and schmoozing, you are more than happy to retreat to the comfort of your own home and be around people whose smiles you can absolutely trust. Treat yourself to fresh bed linen for the solar eclipse.

Cancer

Travel can be unpredictable around eclipses, and fortune is known to roll in all directions. With benevolent Jupiter in your sign, your sign has the best chance of getting an upgrade.
Student grades are also likely to exceed
expectations this month. Meditate to levitate. Closer to home, your mind is stretched but not as enjoyably as extra legroom offers. If you drill down too deeply into the details of your planned ascent, the magic disappears, and the leaden nature of the material world becomes a drag. You’ ve done enough; leave the rest to fate.

Leo

Financial planning looks good on you under the eclipsed Moon. Having all your dollars in a securely-invested row grants you the licence to treat yourself to certain special indulgences from time to time. You don’ t just work for money; you get your money working for you – preferably while you’ re at the salon. The solar eclipse asks you to make friends with limitation. Limits help you prioritise what’ s truly important and stop you saying‘ yes’ to things you’ d honestly rather not do. Once you ditch some uninspiring chores, the cosmos clears ample space for realising your dreams.

Virgo

Pour your love and commitment into your relationship with a special friend or partner. The lunar eclipse flings open a magical window to unashamedly tell someone how much you love and appreciate them. You are nourished by the people in your life, just as much as you care for them. And that is worth celebrating. Venus, moving through your sign at the solar eclipse, permits you an uncharacteristic moment of selfindulgence. Don’ t do anything you don’ t want to do and maybe do a few of the things you shouldn’ t. Good advice for always, but more easily implemented now.

Libra

Keep an eye on pets, plumbers and other persons requiring supervision as the moon is eclipsed. Tending to such minor tasks could be tricky given your attention is devoted to tracking down the source of a coveted scent: ambition. It’ s in the air and you don’ t want to be diverted from a key presentation to attend to a puppy stuck in a plughole. Delegate. Call time out on everything as September grinds on. Your personal battery is running desperately low in the lead-up to the solar eclipse. Stay home and catch up on your to-be-read pile of romantasy.

Scorpio

Let your mind wander to foreign lands, even if you haven’ t set foot outside your local area for years. Imagining a historical sea voyage( complete with period costumes) is more in the keeping with your lunar eclipse. Head to the beach, have a tea party, whatever – just break your routine. You will feel the muchness of the everyday most keenly at the solar eclipse. There are so many things to do that you are tempted to pull the covers over your head, pretend you are not at home, and set sail on that wonderful imaginary voyage abroad.

Sagittarius

The lunar eclipse encourages you to sink down into the etheric reality of your own inner world – and, in somewhat disappointing but none-the-less undeniable material terms, the lack of support on your much-loved couch. Your online research leads to a spendy solution and you are powerless to resist the psychic safety net. By the solar eclipse, you have taut-new cushions adequately supporting your interface with the earthly plane and a pay-later loan to service. Thus, interest in your professional life is renewed. Your colleagues aren’ t so bad after all.

Capricorn

As a keen observer of karma, you aren’ t usually top of the list when someone is seeking a sympathetic ear, but under the lunar eclipse you offer the right medicine. Your clear intuitive thoughts are easily communicated with kindness and wisdom. Don’ t underestimate the power of listening either; keep the kettle hot and the tea caddy stocked. As far as your own spiritual journey goes, you are ready for the next chapter. Unfortunately, it seems that the cosmos has one final test for you to pass before you can ditch the P-plates. Patience is a virtue.

Aquarius

A coin hitting the ground makes a distinctive sound, sometimes ringing as it spins before settling. Amplify that din from coin, to bank balance, to money mindset, to your own

self-worth and you’ ll get a sense of your potential under the lunar eclipse. Bring together the dreaming and the doing. At the solar eclipse, you feel like a tethered balloon. Your ideas and plans bop around enthusiastically but they are not yet able to soar. Acquire more information, the critical but overlooked tidbit that you just can’ t see from your current lofty perspective.

Pisces

Big feels land with the lunar eclipse in your sign. You won’ t be able to hide your emotions, so find a mature, semi-coherent way to express them. You’ re not exactly known for your stiff-upper lip anyway, so it is OK to cry. It’ ll probably be for joy with lucky Jupiter involved. Still, love and money are a weird mix at the best of times. Jane Austen built her entire literary career out of it. Ponder what it would be like to be your own Mr Darcy under the solar eclipse, but don’ t overlook the needs of flesh and blood.
