YOUR MONTHLY HOROSCOPES – SEPTEMBER STARS:
Full Moon – September 2nd Pisces
New Moon – September 17th Virgo.
Mars retrograde 2020 starts on September 9 – November 13 and squares Saturn.
Mars retrograde can generally be frustrating because it tends to hinder your self-expression and makes it harder to fulfill your passionate desires. Mars retrograde 2020 is even more frustrating than normal because of Mars square Saturn.
The delays and restrictions caused by Mars square Saturn will drag out because this aspect lasts for nearly two months. And with so many planets in retrograde motion, the world will appear to slow down.
Mars Retrograde Transit
Mars retrograde in transit is a regular cycle occurring every 25 months, lasting 80 days. Transiting Mars retrograde is a time for thinking before acting. Do your homework before putting your plans into action. It is important that extra time is taken to make sure everything is in order before you continue. Events may occur that could be painful but are needed so you back off and do not make a major mistake.
It is also possible that you have struggled with destructive Mars behaviours in the past like anger, rage, violence, or sexual abuse. If so, the retrograde phase will bring events that force you to admit you have some anger management issues. This too could be a very painful experience for you.
By the time Mars turns direct, you should have come to terms with the relevant issues. This contemplative stage is over and you are ready to come out of your shell and confidently assert yourself and act on your desires.

SAGITTARIUS: November 23rd – December 21st
Love and romance are very much on your mind and whilst being fond of someone is one thing, but letting your feelings become too intense is quite another and that’s the trend that you need to combat at the moment. Try to keep a measure of common sense and you won’t go far wrong but give in to your impulses and you’ll find yourself in no end of trouble. Children, teenagers, and younger people may make you hot under the collar, you may put yourself out for them only to find that they have a sense of entitlement or are unappreciative. Don’t make a martyr of yourself instead make sure that you let them know you deserve to be treated much better. This is also a reminder that you need to acknowledge those who put themselves out on your behalf.

Try to take it easy because one thing is certain … you can’t force the pace. Mars is retrograde in Aries and there are bound to be lots of misunderstandings making the most innocent comment a minefield of misinformation and crossed purposes. It’ll be difficult to explain yourself clearly, especially when you start to get flashes of psychic awareness. At the best of times, this can be difficult to put into words, but now your instincts are almost impossible to express. The Full Moon on the 2nd indicates that if you are feeling at all weak-willed, don’t venture anywhere near expensive shops because you’re too prone to impulse – buying at the moment.

PISCES: February 20th – March 20th
Mars Retrograde in your financial house is indicating conflicting situations. It is not the right time to invest in risky or speculative ventures. Expenses mount and you will be forced to take loans to balance your budget. Money flow will require a lot of effort and you are best advised to take a long-range look at your current position and put a strategy into place. You are not going to solve a cash flow problem by taking your anger out on people who are trying to help you solve it. Admit that the buck lies with you and you will be halfway to solving the issue. Approach the problem head-on and use that pent – up energy in a good cause. The Full Moon on the 2nd falls directly in your own sign putting you into an irritable mood and you are going to need to watch your temper. The New Moon on the 17th puts you in the mood to spoil your loved ones and show them just how much they mean to you.
