What Will The September
Eclipses Bring To You?

Are you ready for a change? Have you been fence sitting about an issue, a relationship or a decision? You won’t suffer from indecisiveness much longer. Fate will soon step in and force your hand to make a play. Actually, it is an upcoming eclipse which will do just that. On September 7th and again on September 22, we will experience a set of eclipses that will bring about needed changes and will touch each one of us in some way. For certain signs such as Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius and Gemini and for those folks who have aspects in their astrology charts, related to the degree and sign of the eclipse, they can expect a crazy month ahead.

Eclipses should not be feared but anticipated. The new moon eclipse on September 7th at 15 degrees Pisces is about new beginnings and needed change. So, a few weeks before this eclipse hits, the universe is likely to take “something” away from you to make room for something new. You should never judge an eclipse until it is completely over and sometimes the energy of any eclipse can last up to one year. I feel most of the activity occurs a few weeks before and a few weeks after the actual date. Be especially attentive to what you hear in the media in the weeks leading up to September 7th and 22nd. There will be big news flashes. I remember years ago, Princess Diana died on an eclipse. Mother Teresa also died on an exlipse. I believe JFK Jr’s went down that fateful day on an eclipse. You always hear bad things happening on the eclipses because that’s usually what makes headlines on newscasts and in the papers, but many good things happen on eclipses too. Clients have reported that an eclipse has helped bring them a new job, a hot date or an opportunity they never dreamed of.

Take my case in point. Last year the eclipse fell in the area of my career house of my solar chart on October 17th. I knew something big would likely be happening with my job. In September, a magazine I had been writing a monthly column for, for over a year, contacted me and told they were taking the column “in-house” and reducing the size to one page instead of two. They would not be needing my services any longer. I was upset but not devastated. The magazine had given me a large chunk of my monthly income and I enjoyed writing the horoscope column. But I knew the eclipse was coming and decided it was best to see what it wanted to bring me, rather than get upset. I remembered that eclipses often take something away to bring in someone new and the change is always for the better. By the end of September, my agent was pitching a story idea to the National Enquirer about a new diet book I had written. The Enquirer was far more interested in seeing if I would like to write their weekly horoscope column because their current astrologer was leaving. Within 24 hours, I was hired as the new astrologer for The Enquirer. It is a weekly column rather than the monthly I used to write with more income and my readership would quadruple. On the actual date of the eclipse, October 17th, my first column debuted in the pages of the Enquirer. Thank God for the eclipse.

Even though the upcoming eclipses will be in the sign of Pisces and Virgo, we all will be affected by them in some way, shape or form, depending on what house they fall in our astrological chart. Let’s now look at a brief description of how the two eclipses will affect each zodiac sign based on a solar chart. If you know your natal chart, read your rising sign for more accuracy.

Note: If you have a birthday on or around one of the eclipses; within 1-2 days, the coming year will be phenomenal.
