Weekly horoscope (Sept. 15-21) 

Virgo The Virgin (Aug. 22-Sept. 22): Your mind and heart are clearly in sync at this time. You are likely at peace with yourself. There is a solid and practical solution at hand and you do not have to quarrel with yourself over it. Activities involving your children and/or other creative products of your being are favored. Love life flows smoothly.

For All Signs: Once again we have the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction. It is essentially a repetition of that which we had in June. Uranus speaks of the rebellious side of our natures. Many of us remain blissfully unaware of it except on rare occasions when that energy breaks through the psyche and causes us to declare mutiny against whoever or whatever has kept us bound. Changes which appear sudden and unexpected drop onto the scene, and it is time for a rapid adaptation. Sometimes the changes have been brewing in the background for a long time and then appear abruptly. Jupiter is the largest planet and expands whatever it touches. Suddenly the lightning strikes that opens the door into fresh possibilities. It has been known to bring great fortune. Sometimes the action appears to be the exact opposite in the moment, but in light of time we realize it was the best thing that could have happened.

Aries: This is a time to believe your dreams and make that push toward success. The Force is with you now. Activities requiring strength and/or endurance are favored. A transformation is at hand and available if you will reach for it. Help from those more powerful than yourself is available if you need it.

Taurus: Love and social life should be favorable during this period. If you are traveling, it will be all the more so. Aspects favor educational and/or legal interests. You have what it takes to give your attention to clients, close friends and partners. They will deeply appreciate your attention.

Gemini: You have likely been dealing with a decision concerning property or family issues. You have spent a few weeks in this process and now you have arrived at a conclusion. If it is a purchase or a sale, you have the cosmic green light. Whatever the decision, you have made a good choice for everyone concerned.

Cancer: Day-to-day life is favorable at present. There are no big conflicts between you and anyone of importance. Social life is favored with partner, friends and neighbors. Short trips to interesting nearby places could prove refreshing and educational. Contractual agreements are favored now.

Leo: Surprise, changeability and general rebellion are the qualities prominent this week. You may be the one who feels rebellious and wants to be left alone. Or it could be your partner or a good friend. If you have things on your mind regarding a relationship, they may fall right out of your mouth when you least expect it. Think carefully before you speak.

Libra: You are close to making a financial purchase or decision that has an emotional basis now. Make it a point to use your mind as well. Is this something that will serve you for many years? Consult a professional (if warranted) or a friend with common sense to help you think about this.

Scorpio: Your charisma is powerful and you can be at your most persuasive now. You need not use manipulation in order to get what you want. Step aside from such temptations. Activities requiring physical energy are accented and favored now. You have a need to get out and about to refresh your spirit.

Sagittarius: Between June of 2010 and the spring of 2011, the possibility is that you will encounter a new lover, one who is unlike any other. This energy may also work out for you by suddenly giving you the green light to express yourself creatively. For some, a new baby may be materialized.

Capricorn: At this time in life you have come upon perspective, which allows you to recognize the large patterns of things going on around you. You can even rise above the earthly intensity of human relationships and perceive the network of events that led you to where you are. Hold onto it. Such moments are often interrupted by the Maya of life.

Aquarius: It is possible that you are feeling badly about yourself over a situation that simply happened. It is probable that if you really think about it, you will recognize that it was not "your fault," not even if there are those who want you to carry the guilt. Sometimes things just do not work out as we hoped.

Pisces: Previous disappointments in your investments may cause you to rearrange all your financial resources. Many will take on jobs that offer the promise of big money, but with occasional unstable gaps. Nothing is guaranteed. You are moving into an inner space in which your sense of self-worth is growing. For a very few, bankruptcy is possible, but it leaves only fresh air and a new start in its wake.
