Cancer Horoscope for September 2014

This is another interesting, educational and potentially challenging month for you, Cancer, that involves both dreaming and holding back from allowing your dreams to take charge. Communicating your vision to others around you is vitally important now. You require an absolute unfounded belief in yourself, and then must remember to also tie up your camel. You are intent on making something concretely happen out of all your dreamy imagination and the inspiring career changes that are still in the works for you; the trick is that you have to work them to make them come true. Visualizing your next stage, while tempering high idealism with a good dose of practicality, is one key. Another might be a sense of compromise that does not actually imply giving up on anything, but rather incorporating greater acceptance of what is.

As the month begins, you are feeling into the ongoing energy boost that you received at the time of the Virgo New Moon, one week earlier at the beginning of the last full week of August. This sparks great mysteries along the lines of education, travel arrangements and worldview, because numinous and otherworldly Neptune, residing in your ninth solar sector of higher mind, is very involved in this monthly cycle. So too are mysteries of relationship, with friends and partners, and also with family members. Your partnership connection is greatly energized over this period, as is your creativity, although you could encounter times of frustration with your self-expression and, by extension, with relationship connection also.

The ruler of your fourth sector of home and family is configured with trickster Uranus at the New Moon timing, implying that this area of your life is changeable and full of surprises over the course of these first three weeks of September. You might feel as though the rug was being pulled out from under you in some way, or else that the relations between you and your family were stretched and opened up for greater possibility, and this would apply to either your family of origin, or current family dynamics, or even to your physical home. As your inner world shifts somewhat, your outer one is altering as well, in its own manner. Career choices are expanding in novel and quirky ways, as has been the case in recent months. The changes and ongoing rearrangements in this important area of life keep on coming up, and each one takes you closer, perhaps, to an intuitional awareness of what needs to come next for you.

Your finances, too, are subject to fluctuation this month. You are likely to be getting some lucky breaks, although with a twist here and there or an unexpected addendum. Everything is a bit up in the air. If you can have the equanimity to just go with the flow, you might be better off, at the very least in terms of health and calmness. There are usually hidden lessons in even the most surprising twists and turns of fortune and this month is even more so, because of the outer planet chimes with all the personal planets. You might easily find that the long-term benefits outweigh the momentary disruptions, and that there is wisdom that you can take to your metaphorical bank as your personal dynamic with others continues to transform.

All this has its effect on your self-confidence in general, and your attitude in particular to issues of prior wounding that continue to come up for you, with the potential of greater attention paid as time goes on. Chiron, the Wounded Healer, is quite definitely activated now, in your sector of higher mind, so that over the course of this exciting and educational monthly cycle there is a good chance for progress of an unusual kind. You are, over this entire year, as singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan puts it, "fumbling towards ecstasy" and the secret is greater acceptance of your process.
