It’s going to be a bumpy ride this month. The ongoing battle involving Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, and Pluto can produce some inner quaking and/or outer upheaval. It’s all about letting go of what you no longer need so you can live a life of authenticity. Think of it as stripping away the layers of emotional, mental, and material junk to get to the real you.
How much these influences will affect you depends on where they land in your chart. People with key placements in early Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn will likely experience some shifts. So if you feel like the winds of change are sweeping you off to parts unknown, just know that with change comes increased awareness and empowerment.
Transits Tales
In romance, Venus follows Mars into loving Libra on the 6th, which would normally take romance over the top. This time, however, Venus and Mars will enter the fray with Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, and Pluto, which will exacerbate the turbulence in relationships. Don’t be surprised if issues concerning commitment, equality, change, jealousy, money, sex, or power arise to be resolved. Not fun, by any means, but these influences can be the catalyst to eliminating emotional blocks that keep you stuck.
Next, Retrograde Uranus entering Pisces on the 13th encourages you to become aware of your “oneness” with all living things and to help those in need. Uranus will stay in Pisces through March 10, 2011.
Planets in Motion
A whopping five planets are retrograde this month! Mercury joins Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto when it turns retrograde on the 20th (through September 12). This emphasis on inward energy intensifies the need to turn inward for answers. Also, be mindful of communications, contracts, and travel arrangements during retrograde Mercury.

The New Moon in Leo on the 9th brings fresh energy to romance, creative projects, and activities pertaining to children and entertainment. It can also heighten your courage to pursue your dreams.
The Full Moon in Pisces on the 24th energizes idealism, fantasy, spiritual endeavors, and philanthropy.
