Astrology: A retrograde Fall...
September 22, 2005
By Arlan Wise
It will be a slow and sluggish fall. Mars will be retrograde for most of the season making it very difficult to push forward in any aspect of your life. You will find that you have great mental creativity but it will be hard to take those concepts out of your head and put them into any form. Take notes so you don't lose the ideas. You'll be most comfortable hanging out in your mind.
Since Mars is in Taurus, a stubborn, conservative (not meant politically) sign, you will want to hold on to your money and do what you can to keep it as secure as possible. You will feel like staying home, even though travel and adventure tempt you.
It won't be a dull fall. There is a pair of eclipses next month to liven things up.
This pair activates relationship issues. You will feel a desire to couple up, not to go it alone. Mars retrograde is a time when people come together and break apart. He adds stress to relationships. You will need to work on yours to keep it alive. Don't take anything for granted.
Thursday, Sept. 22 Moon in Taurus, VC from 12:41 pm until 1:07 pm when it enters Gemini. The sun enters Libra and the Autumnal Equinox occurs at 6:24 pm. Today is the last day of summer.

Friday, Sept. 23 Moon in Gemini. All you'll want to do today is talk. There's a need to communicate with people. Brainstorm and share ideas. It may be hard to get things done.

Saturday, Sept. 24 Moon in Gemini, VC from 8:57 am until 10:10 pm when it enters Cancer. This is the day to finish your summer reading and catch up with that pile of magazines and journals.
