FOLIO
By Ambar Ramirez and Carmen Macri
Aries
Venus and Jupiter will come together on Sept. 16, Aries, bringing with it a sense of resolution. You may be feeling as if your head has completely cleared and that grogginess you’ve come to know and love will disappear. Now is the time to make those decisions you’ve been putting off.

Taurus
Fall is in the air, Taurus, and so is love … not the traditional love for another person, but love for everything around you. On Sept. 16 when Venus and Jupiter unite, they will bring you harmony and blessings. It’s time to stop and smell the roses, get creative, spend time with loved ones and don’t be afraid to take advantage of the overall serene energy entering your life.

Gemini
You could say the leaves slowly falling off the trees is a metaphor for you, Gemini. As fall approaches and the seasons change, so will you. The endless cycles you find yourself in will come to an end, but it is up to you. As Mercury enters retrograde, you will feel the energy stronger than most as it is your ruling planet. Use it to your benefit.

Cancer
Leaves are changing and so are people around you, Cancer. Believe it or not, you go through changes as well. It’s a part of this silly thing we call life. That said, when Neptune enters Pisces on Sept. 19 beware of miscommunication. It’s much too soon to be checking under your bed for monsters, so it would be wise not to jump to conclusions and stay around those who keep you grounded.

Leo
You are all too familiar with masks, Leo. And we don’t mean the masks we wear on Halloween. You have grown far too comfortable with hiding your feelings beneath a mask to keep yourself safe. The sun opposes Neptune in Pisces on Sept. 19 and with it will bring a sense of security for you. It may be time to show your true self to those you hold close. What is the worst that can happen?

Virgo
Happy almost Fall, Virgo! But most importantly, Happy Birthday! You may be feeling as though you are about to embark on a new journey in your life, and that’s because you are. When a New Moon takes place in your sign on Sept. 15, you will have the sense of a fresh start. Whether you’re dyeing your hair a new color or applying for a new job, embrace the change.
Fall item: Leaves (’cause your changing … get it?)
Libra
Happy solar return, sweet Libra! Sept. 22 marks the start of the Libra season, and if you’re someone who adores love, get ready for an abundance of it (that’s a whole lot of love!), especially on Sept. 29 when the full moon enters Aries and lights up your 7th house of partnerships. You might as well mark off the remainder of your September as “booked” because you’ll be quite occupied … perhaps in the sheets.
Fall item: Caramel apples
Scorpio
Mercury is in retrograde, Scorpio. You just can’t seem to catch a break, huh? It may seem like nothing in your life is going right: car breaking down, fights with your friends, a workload that seems suffocating. Harness the energy that Mercury brings and use it to your advantage. Take the upperhand. Be a step ahead of the stars.

Sagittarius
They might as well rename September after you, Sagittarius, as this month is going to be as fiery as your spirit. As we enter Libra season, the next couple of weeks will challenge you to be more independent, which should be quite easy for you. Venus aligns with your social sector, turning you into a social butterfly on steroids. Your calendar will be bursting with invites, and your dance card will be fuller than a centaur’s quiver.
Fall item: Fur-lined coat
Capricorn
On Sept. 16, Venus and Jupiter will unite causing cataclysmic energy to come your way. Rather than folding under the pressure, use what you know. You are strong-willed and thick-skulled. You should see this energy as a challenge, rather than letting it swallow you whole, work your way around it. You know more than anyone how to overcome obstacles. Let’s see it happen.
Fall item: A wool blanket
Aquarius
Oh, Aquarius, brace yourselves for a month that’s as predictably unpredictable as your taste in music. With September comes Libra season which is practically a cosmic eye roll directed at your love life. Be prepared for past flames to resurface, making you wonder if the universe has run out of new options for you. Don’t worry (it hasn’t), but it’s clearly feeling nostalgic. Truthfully, the whole month may feel like a cosmic joke, but do what you do best and embrace the chaos.
Fall item: Portable campfire
Pisces
This is a good month, especially after you got through the somber full moon on Aug. 30 in Pisces. While you still may be feeling the effects of the full moon energy, you may also be feeling a shift. Planets entering and leaving retrograde may have your head feeling jumbled, but you know what they say? That first sunset after a storm is the most beautiful.
