Marie Claire Horoscope for September 2015 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

Aries (March 20-April 19) — Commitment is not something to push for; it develops naturally and grows with experience. You have no need to get any promises from anyone. Do what you need and what you want, and notice how others respond. Who shows up for you? Who demonstrates sincere interest? To whom do you offer yourself with an open heart? That will tell you all you need to know.

 

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Your ideas about success differ greatly from those of your mother. Therefore, strive to reach your own goals. Live up to your own standards. Have faith in what makes sense to you. This is a profound lesson that few people learn, though if you take even small steps in that direction, you will claim your independence and, more than that, your sense of belonging in the world.

 

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — You know it’s time to make long overdue changes designed to improve your mental outlook. Yet the planets are asking whether you really think this is possible. Bring this to full awareness. Ask yourself the question boldly and you will get the answer you like, but it still may surprise you. Remember all you’ve done, and been through. You’re ready to take another step.

 

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Be clear with yourself and with others. This may feel like laying down the law when really you’re making simple statements about what you want. Why must this feel so audacious? That illustrates how restrained we’re conditioned to be; pressured to put other people first. You of all people can afford to focus on your needs. You will always take care of those you love.

 

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — You are in an excellent position to advance your financial situation. This may seem like a matter of luck, though in truth you will be putting your intelligence to work. You are capable of taking abundant information, editing it down to the most salient facts, and putting it to use making decisions. That’s exactly the path to greater wealth and a touch of fame.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — Rare planetary activity this month offers you unusual opportunities to grow the best things in your life. The greatest benefit will be seeing the world from the viewpoint of others. This will help you explore common ground and build trust. You have no need to idealize anyone or anything; follow your basic desires and live close to the Earth that you love so much.

 

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — Your thoughts and words influence many more people than you may realize. Your connection to the world around you is growing stronger every day, and you may wonder what great things you can accomplish. Don’t just wonder — dare to step out and try something new. The more adventurous you are, the more cooperative you will discover people are. They need your example.

 

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — You’re being born into a major new phase of your life. This you have earned by your willingness to do what so few people do — honestly address the past. In just a few weeks you will make a major decision. Be conscious about choosing based on what you now know, and who you now are, rather than based on who you were last week or five years ago. Forward is the way.

 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — You are getting a clear sense of what is possible. You’re finally able to see past all the little details that it would take to succeed, and you now know it’s the big picture that matters; the total scenario. It’s true that the details still count, and there are still some things you will need to micromanage. Work from large goals and you will have larger success.

 

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — Be honest with yourself above all else. That’s the theme of this month and of the next two years of your life. We could say there is no room for denial. We could also say that you don’t want to pretend about anything or anyone. Emotional freedom comes not from believing the past does not exist, but from confronting it directly. Then it becomes more obvious what to do now.

 

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You are your own best friend. Remember that and you will encounter many people who support your new adventure. Whether you were planning on it or not, your ambitions are coming to fruition, and you’re being called to stand up and take your place in the world. If there is a challenge, you have a concept to go with it. That is leadership.

 

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — You are about to experience a rare opening in your relationships to others. It’s as if people are finally figuring out who you are and why they want you in their lives. This gives you options. Take them slowly. You don’t need to decide everything right now; in fact, the more gradually you make your choices, the better. Give people a chance to show their true colors.
