September 2013 horoscope - Gemini

I follow the Vedic calendar; this is the monthly solar horoscope for birthdays from 16^th June to 15^th July or Gemini Ascendants and Moons

By Louise Gilbert

Gemini, a lot of your energy goes into sorting out your finances and your income. You're keen to see the results of your labour or invest your time in activities that allow you to increase your bank balance. While it’s likely that whatever extra money you earn this month won’t just be given to you, you can actually have some fun making it. A big boost (and the fun) could come from your creative endeavours, your ability or drive to take a risk and your ability to successfully bring a project to conclusion and come up with new, creative ideas that add value to what you do in your job. In any case, there is a lot of opportunity for you to make some extra cash but as always, the other side of the coin means that your spending habits are a lot more loose than at other time and you are more prone to impulse buying. 
 
A lot of what you spend your money on this month can have to do with your home and living situation – which represents another area of activity in your chart this month. September for you is kind of a month of two sides and one of them is your home and connected to that the money you spend on it as well as the paper work that needs to be sorted out in a house move of sale. This can be a more introverted time where you are ‘less visible’ to those around you and those you tend to spend your time with as you concentrate on your family and your home. This is all down to you ruler, Mercury, entering the sign of Virgo on 5^th September and not only is this a time of home improvements but also a time of emotional stability and internal consistency. You have a tremendous need for physical protection, which your home is now meant to provide to you. 
 
You may also spend a lot more time with your parents and your mother in particular – in fact, if you are of that age, then perhaps it’s your parents home and their living situation that requires attention this month. 
 
So, while you are busy re-arranging the furniture, there is also a lot of fun and romance around you and although it sounds paradoxical, you’ve been working hard on having fun recently and some may have been working hard on their (pro-) creative projects and activities. September is another busy month in that respect and a great time for you to feel like you can just be yourself and forget about the responsibility romance and relationships bring with them. Romance is dramatic and larger than life – for this month anyway. 
 
Then, if you are a typical Gemini, then communicating, selling and making deals comes easy to you and with this month’s combinations, your ideas, your literary and creative outputs are well-received. Equally, your natural curiosity means that this month especially, you’ll be able to add something new to your knowledge and skills pool. The new Moon in Leo on 5^th September falls into this area of your chart and is in the nakshatra of Purvaphalguni - the 11^th of 27 'wives of the Moon' and one of three that is ruled by the planet Venus. This is a creative nakshatra which broadly speaking brings skills in arts and a love of pleasure. The deity for this star is Bhaga, the God of Prosperity. For you, new Moon kick-starts a new cycle of learning, realisation and communication is some way. However, you’ll need to be clear in the way you communicate and make sure to avoid confusion. Check any paper work twice - there is an element of illusion and facts being distorted alongside these transits. 
 
The full Moon on 19^th September is in the sign of Pisces and your house of life direction and career could be one of the most defining moments of the year. It impacts your home as well as your career and in some represents a change in status. It’s a change in how other people see you, it signifies a peak time in your career, possibly a (swift) change or something coming to its natural conclusion in that respect – and again, connected to your finances and skill set.
 
Have a great month, Gemini!
