Your 4th house becomes very powerful from the 20th onwards, when Mars moves into it, followed by the Sun on the 22nd. So the focus is on home, family and your emotional well-being. Interestingly, these interests help the career – in a direct kind of way. Next month the focus will be even stronger. The powers that be seem to approve of a good family and domestic life.
When the 4th house is strong, emotional wellness and harmony is the dominant factor in life. If that is happening everything else will fall into place. But if there is discord, nothing much will work out.
This is a good period – after the 20th – to do renovations in the home. However, the health becomes more delicate. Make sure to get enough rest.

Your 4th house remains very powerful this month. Continue to work on your emotional wellness and the harmony of the domestic sphere. In the philosophy of astrology, when we handle the 4th house properly, we enter a joyful, holiday kind of period. The 5th house of fun and creativity follows the 4th house – it doesn’t precede it. Fun happens after emotional harmony is established, not before.
We have two eclipses this month. Both seem to affect you strongly so have a more relaxed schedule over those periods.
The Lunar Eclipse of the 7th occurs in your 10th house of career, so there are shake-ups happening in your company or industry. This will most likely require a course correction on your part. Often there are dramas in the lives of bosses, parents and parent figures. Sometimes the government changes its rules. The marriage of a parent or parent figure (and perhaps a boss as well) gets tested now. Cars and communication equipment get tested. It will be a good idea to drive more carefully.
The Solar Eclipse of the 21st occurs in your 4th house but very close to the cusp of the 5th house. Thus both houses are affected. Every Solar Eclipse affects the home and family anyway, and family members will have dramas in their lives (children too). Sometimes repairs (possibly extensive ones) to the home are necessary. When an eclipse happens in the 4th house any hidden problems in the home are revealed. Perhaps there are mice or other rodents lurking around. Perhaps mould has collected in the interior plasterboard. Perhaps there is a hidden leak in the pipework. Now you find out about these things – they show themselves – and action has to be taken. This is inconvenient to be sure, but it is good that the problem is no longer hidden and can be dealt with.
Retrograde activity is very strong this month. From the 13th to the 25th half of the planets are travelling backwards. This further compounds the problems caused by the eclipses. An eclipse demands immediate attention, but planetary retrogrades create delays. Your financial planet starts to go backwards on the 13th too. Therefore (as you know by now), you should avoid major purchases or important financial decisions until he starts going forward again on September 5.

Health and energy are much improved over last month. Problems were created last month (perhaps we should say ‘revealed’ – they existed before last month’s eclipses happened) but now you have all the energy you need to handle them. Your health can be further enhanced by giving more attention to the heart until the 20th, and to the small intestine after then. Giving yourself permission to have fun – to enjoy life – will also enhance your health.
Your 5th house became powerful last month and remains so this month too. So, handle your issues and responsibilities but make sure you have some fun too. You can do both. Sometimes the best way to deal with an insurmountable problem is to let it go. Do something else. Get creative. Have fun. When you come back to the problem, you discover the solution comes to you easily. Your obsessive focus was blocking things. Often the solution is hilariously simple.
This is a month to get more involved with the children and children figures in your life. You relate very well to them. To be sure, you’re a bit of a child yourself. Personal creativity is very strong now too. It is good to express some of this. Your sense of fun – your lightness of heart – will help the financial picture too. Mercury retrograded back into your 4th house last month; on the 10th he re-enters the 5th house. As we have already mentioned, this indicates happy money. You earn or have earnings opportunities while you’re having fun – perhaps at the movies or theatre. Perhaps at a resort or party.
The love life is much improved this month. Pluto, the love planet, is still retrograde, but he is receiving very good aspects. So the social life is happy. There are many love and social opportunities happening. Only don’t be in a rush. Enjoy things for what they are.
The love life of children or children figures is a bit stressed this month. If they are married or in a serious relationship, they need more patience. The problems seem more about the partner’s issues than their own.
Mars makes beautiful aspects to the career planet Uranus from the 1st to the 3rd. Being involved in charities or good causes helps the career.

Jupiter has been in your 6th house of work all year and will be there until the 10th of this month. Your 6th house became powerful on September 22nd and remains so in the month ahead – 60 per cent of the planets are either there or moving through there. This is a lot of power. It is a wonderful time for job seekers; there are multiple opportunities happening now. (The whole past year has been good for this, but now it’s even better.) Some of you could be working two or three jobs now. Others are merely having multiple employment opportunities. Power in this house also shows a great focus on health. But as we mentioned earlier, this focus can be too much. You don’t need to magnify little things into big things.
On the 11th Jupiter moves into your 7th house of love and will be there well into next year. Mercury follows on the 17th and the Sun on the 23rd. Thus love is the main headline from the 23rd onwards. You will be in a yearly love and social peak. Singles are going to date more, and they will attract meaningful kinds of relationships. Many a marriage will happen in the next 12 months. Those already attached will be attending more weddings and gatherings. They will make new and significant friendships. A business partnership or joint venture might manifest.
Jupiter’s move into the 7th house brings financial windfalls and general prosperity for the spouse, partner or current love interest. (Prosperity will get even stronger in 2018.)
There’s more good news on the love front. Pluto (your love planet) started moving forward on September 28. So, all systems are go when it comes to love. There is opportunity and mental clarity – good social judgement. Enjoy.
The Sun will have his solstice on December
