Horoscopes

“Beyond the mountain is another mountain.” This Haitian saying is something to focus on in September, as your natural energetic and enterprising spirit needs a short break from all the fast climbing of the past few months. There will always be mountains to climb and new grounds to cover, and you possess a versatility and sense of adventure that will continuously drive you ahead into territories unknown. Your positivism and force of personality is a great power, but this month the stars ask you to take care in replenishing it, both by resting and by having fun.

You will feel the drain at the very start of the month. Instead of whipping yourself into another enterprising project in the hopes of reviving energy and enthusiasm, take a load off. You have recently conquered vast territories in many areas of your life, especially in your career and emotional health. Now, just allow yourself to drift along as if carried by the currents born from your recent achievements.

By the second week of the month, you’ll feel your energy level back up to full. This new energy will lead you to a new state, though. Instead of feeding it into another career, business, or family-bolstering achievement, you will find the next mountain to climb may be a very new one. What I mean is that you are about to face a set of new challenges in an area of your life you’ve been neglecting while you were too busy taking care of “outer needs.” By “outer needs” I mean, your career, your family, your relationships, your physical health, etc., anything that can show physical signs of achievement. The new mountain before you is a region which you have not explored.

In Tarot, the Devil Card comes up for you. This is an amazingly powerful card, and its meaning is complex. The card signifies some elements of earthly desire that can be considered frightening or shameful by conventional society: sexuality, materialism, addictions, etc. But, it is a card that also signifies that a person is restraining him or herself from enjoying life’s earthly pleasures, which is just plain oppressive.

In your case, positive Sagittarius, with September’s star alignment, the Devil Card is telling you to cut loose and have some fun. Once you allow yourself this freedom, you will see the new mountain clearly. You may feel philosophical and arrive at a sublime realization that will affect your overall outlook on life: how you treat yourself, your family, your coworkers, and what they mean to you. This mountain might present a new idea or awaken you to new possibilities. You may discover you want to make many changes. Also, love is definitely in the stars for you, especially during the second and third weeks of this month. This is also inspired by the Devil Card in Tarot: people will find you irresistible as you relax and reveal a sexier side of yourself. If you are married or in a relationship, don’t be afraid to explore a deeper level of intimacy with your partner. If you are single, go for it. You’ve been running a long marathon of work and more work, now it’s time for flirtatious fun.

There will be a few days in the third week of September where you might have to put your focus back towards work. But this only means you should firmly step in to “check on” things, making sure the projects you’ve created are running on course. They will be, but you may need to give a little push.

But besides those few days, the rest of September focuses again on the house of love. Enjoy the sun, your friends, and the many opportunities for dating, flirtatious fun, or bonding with your spouse. Then, take the last few days of the month for another period of rest. There will be another mountain waiting!
