Major Astrology Events in September 2008
Venus sesquiquadrates Dragon’s Head on September 2, 2008
Appearances can be deceptive during this period. Do not be taken in by attractive exteriors or marketing gimmicks. Avoid impulsive decisions in romantic or financial matters. This could however be a good time for churning your portfolio, and to take out your funds from dead-investments that have no scope in the future.

Your success during this period can depend on the contacts that you have at high places. Behind-the-scenes maneuvers might be needed to get your projects started on the right note. Do not let emotions cloud your professional judgement; be willing to take a few tough decisions if the need arises. However, have the tact to announce them diplomatically in a way that others are convinced of the necessity of those decisions.

This is a time when you have to be decisive; sitting on the flanks in confusion will just not do now! Snap decisions might help you bring long-drawn out negotiations to a welcome conclusion. Legal matters should be preferably resolved by out-of-court settlements to save valuable time and costs to all parties concerned. This is an ideal time for embarking on adventure activities.
Jupiter turns direct on September 8, 2008; the degree in which it turns direct is the 19th degree of Sagittarius.
This degree is symbolized as “A Serpent surrounded by a circle of fire.” (Ref. La Volasfera – translated by Sepharial).
This degree indicates difficulties, and dangers. Issues can get blown out of proportion under this influence. Political uncertainties, social unrest, financial instability, proliferation of frauds in the economic scene, governments taking unwise decision that jeopardize the well-being of the people, major international treaties that hold advantage to all parties concerned being scuttled or delayed by internal political compulsions of respective countries, demise of major political figures, etc. are some of the mundane effects due to the influence of this degree.
A child born during this period will be an intelligent person with very good potential but constantly harassed by stress, and limited by situational constraints. Such a person will be called forth to pass through a fiery ordeal at some point of life, and will escape only with some hurt to person or fortunes. Hence, children born during this period must be taught the value of moderation, studied caution, and need to avoid taking unnecessary risks. Remedies to Jupiter can mitigate these evils to some extent.
Pluto turns direct on September 9, 2008; it turns direct in the 5th degree of Sagittarius.
This degree is symbolized as “ A man of middle age watching over a cradle.”(La Volasfera – translated by Sepharial).
This is a degree of repining. There is an influence of melancholic resignation to the decrees of Fate, and an uncomplaining submission to the wrongs of the world. This is also not an auspicious degree, and it only reinforces the effects of the readings obtained for Jupiter’s direct degree. The silver lining in the cloud is that domestic bonds will become stronger under this influence – sufferings might help bring relatives together. A child born under this degree will be loyal to family traditions and have an attachment to family traditions.

It is best to be extremely cautious in business matters, and if possible to avoid new ventures completely during this period – especially if you have the tendency to be carried away by novel schemes and lack perseverance to see a project through thick and thin. Over-confidence and complacency can be your undoing during this sensitive period.

Much can be achieved during this period. Plan your business activities carefully and be more assertive in claiming your rights/ privileges. A straight-forward approach without too much frills will be more productive during this period. Consider tabling your futuristic plans before authority figures in a bid to win their approval. Try to appeal to sentiments and emotions of your audience while handling business negotiations or during project presentations.

Be prepared to look for alternative solutions and be willing to work on alternative approaches if conventional methods have failed to give the desired results. You may need to take snap decisions on the spur of the moment to handle sudden developments in business. Keep your plans for the period loose and unformulated, so that you can change them at moment’s notice without much hassles.

Good communication is the key to success during this period. Expect some delays in paper-work or official formalities, and allot proper buffer periods in your plans so that your progress is not dampened by Red-tape. It is best to handle sensitive assignments directly rather than deputing your subordinates to handle them. Ensure that your accounts are in order so that there are no hassles from authorities in this regard. Money can become a bone of contention between partners; ensure that you have discussed monetary terms clearly to rule out any such misunderstandings in your ventures.
