September's Astrology For Intermediates

By Kathryn L. Silverton  

The majority of the cosmic entertainment is sponsored by Mercury, who reverses his tracks on the 15th in Libra. For you novices, let's review the highlights: Like the post office, it is the job of Mercury to deliver. But Mercury doesn't always make it through wind, rain and snow, and he's less likely to deliver on time when he moves backward. In fact, sometimes he doesn't deliver at all, and if he does, he might deliver the wrong package. So, think about ways to cover your tracks when it comes to deliveries.              

I use the word “deliver” in a broad sense. Not only do we deliver “things,” like packages, we also deliver information, through phones, faxes, e-mails, cell phones, pagers, newspapers, television, magazines and newsletters. Any form of delivery is apt to be “glitchy.”               

Delivery also includes vehicles and all that they entail. Expect flat tires, other mechanical problems, or difficulty getting yourself transported. And when you get to your destination, there isn't always smooth sailing. Be sure you confirm your destination prior to departure, and bring with you everything you need, such as keys, documents, etc. Mechanical glitches can often be blamed on delivery devices. Pipes, tubes, wires - anything that connects “A” to “B” is a likely culprit.             

At this point you might feel like throwing in the towel, wondering what is positive about a time like this. Since Mercury is retracing its steps, we must do the same. Take time out to sort through accumulated paperwork, files, letters and periodicals - you'll be amazed at the useful stuff you stumble across. The same goes for closets, filing cabinets and drawers.               

Another advantage is connecting with people from yesteryear. They may appear out of the blue or you may have them on your mind. Business-wise, reconnect with past clients rather than drumming up new ones. Intellectually, this is a great time to rewrite, edit and review.  

Aries: Review contracts and get a second opinion. Iron out differences but wait until Mercury moves  forward in early October before signing on the dotted line. Don't pretend to play mind reader with your partner.

Taurus: Expect glitches to be more predominant in the workplace. You might be involved in the training process, either as trainer or trainee. Review medical records but get a second opinion should there be a problem. Test results are prone to error.

Gemini: Your ruler, retrograde in a fellow air sign, makes this easier. Old flames resurface, be it someone from your romantic past to an old passion or hobby. Rediscover the “child” within and give permission to redefine fun.
