As we begin this new work week of Monday Sept 20, 2010, you may find yourself in need.. of some reflection!!!

Yes... that... "How could this happening to me right now?", mode you are in...

You can just.."Blame It On The Stars"!!!

Astrologically speaking...We just came through a very important trend setting week!

Pluto, which has been retrograde since early April, went direct on September 13-14 in Capricorn.

Now that it is back in forward gear, it can continue its main purpose of reorganizing practical matters especially to do with career and money.

It takes Pluto approximately 248 years to complete its orbit around the zodiac. Due to the eccentricity of its orbit, it takes this planet between 12 and 31 years to pass through a sign! It rules Scorpio, and the Eighth House. Pluto in Capricorn has been the talk of many astrological studies and discussions, and will stay in this sign until 2024.

Pluto indicates to us that the path ahead is never straight. We take three steps forward and then pause to either reconsider, or go deeper to find better answers, or reverse our actions, to undo our mistakes? If we have learned the lessons this planet is trying to teach us, we all should have become a little wiser! And perhaps, a bit more resilient because of the experiences of recent months. And we should have learned the lessons, that Pluto has been asking us to learn!

Pluto is a very slow moving planet, we are still early in Pluto's sixteen year journey through Capricorn, the first phase of which is supposed to be all about destruction.

We are being asked to review and re-evaluate our lives, our habits, our patterns of behaviors that belong in the past, and no longer work for us. This is the time to dispose of old baggage we are carrying around before we can start to rebuild for the future. Ask yourself if you are hanging on sentimentally to something once very valuable, or even essential to you, but no longer works for you?

In order for true transformation to take place, each one of us has to learn to let go of what is worn out and what we have outgrown... whether it be in our attitudes, our relationships or even our possessions? Only when we have cleared our decks, can we open ourselves up to new growth! The time for backtracking and reconsidering is now over! Start building and creating what will stand the test of time in your personal paths ahead.

The planet Mars, also moved out of sociable Libra into passionate and determined Scorpio, on September 14, to join hands again with Venus until October 27 in their perpetual cosmic dance. Scorpio has a reputation as the miracle maker of the zodiac and can move mountains when it wants to. Add high-vitality Mars to the equation, and there will be a powerhouse of energy available for those who choose to use it? Mars in Scorpio lets nothing stand in its way but bulldozes ahead not always subtly but usually discreetly, until it gets the results it wants. However watch out for the sting of the Scorpion which gets an additional boost with Martian energy. It will be difficult to forgive those who may be deceitful, and it will be equally difficult to be forgiven if you are the transgressor. So play fair, and use that courageous, relentlessly persevering energy of Mars, in Scorpio, to a good end.

Knowing all this, should give you, hints to where your new trends lie. As you carefully look at your life now, and how you desire your life to change for the better?

Monday's Moon in Aquarius, can make you a bit restless as you straddle the line between your need for freedom, and control, verses your need for security, and a life of comfort, and commitment.

But it is Tuesday, September 21, with the moon in Pisces opposing the planet of thought, Mercury, that you'll have just the right sensitivity to pull you into, that desire to reflect your recent behavior and what role you have played in making you now, happy or sad?! True, for all sun signs, but partially those born under earth and water signs...Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, earth... Scorpio, Cancer, Pisces, water.

Also Tuesday, the sun's pull in opposition to a conjunction of Jupiter and the planet of invention Uranus,...can be very disrupting? Making for a day when the unexpected, will be the norm!

Wednesday Sept. 22, 2010, at 11:09 PM EDT will begin our 2010 Fall season, as the sun enters the sign of Libra! But the daylight hours of Wednesday, will be difficult to plan! As the almost full moon, and difficult planetary aspects, make us super sensitive, and accident prone, reining havoc on your relationships and how you express yourself. Try to keep an open minded approach on how you deal with unexpected changes and your close relationships.

Thursday Sept 23, 2010, the first full day of Fall, and a Full moon, in the impatient sign of Aries around 5:17 AM... tends to start out our day rather, emotionally! But add morning difficult planetary aspects along with that impatient, Aries moon, and you have my pick of the week as the most Difficult! Causing disruptions, arguments, and accidents, Particularly in the morning hours... and for the signs of, Aries, Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn! But all signs would be wise to Guard your temper, and slow down!

Friday Sept. 24, should be a busy... "lets get things done", Day! However, the intensity of Venus and Mars in intense Scorpio will make it difficult to keep your expectations in balance! Avoid a desire to want to control things that in time can work out OK, on their own?

Saturday, Sept.25, 2010, the sun in negative aspect to the planet of endings, and transformation Pluto. Makes it a day to work at reconciliation's and keep your ego under control! Best to play your intuitive hunches.

Sunday, Sept. 26, 2010 can end our weekend on a positive note. That is...if you can avoid the tendency to have your day and mood be controlled by others? The moon in loving Taurus, will be pulling on the planets, Mars, and Venus. Let others be instrumental in helping you, not hindering you? With the signs of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, and Scorpio, being hurt, or helped the most!

Not an easy week, but to be sure...a significant one!
