Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of September in a playful and creative part of your chart before ending the month in your busy work sector and because the timing of Venus and Mercury's return each year is more fluid, this is a month when a balance between work and play will always be important. This year, rather than being confined to the crossover period later in the month, knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off will need to be a priority from the start. For rather than wait for the Sun, Mars' return to your work sector last month has not only already fired things up on the job front, but with help from planets on the income and career fronts. Even though Mars will leave on 22nd September, the day before the Sun returns, Mercury will leave a playful and creative part of your chart and return to your work sector on 18th September. However, that doesn't mean that the scales will tip to the busy side of life's fence, with Venus' return to a playful and creative part of your chart on 20th September, keeping this active all month as well. However, as the last planet to return and the last to leave, Venus knows she only has a few weeks to put some guardrails in place, with things remaining active on the income, work and career fronts for months to come. Meanwhile, it is in the early hours of the month that just over three months after leaving, Saturn will retrograde back into your friendship sector on 1st September to find that a lot has changed. Saturn will return to find Jupiter in your communication sector for the first time in over a decade and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment not only still in your relationship sector but due to be joined by Mars on 22nd September. This is taking the support that has been building across the communication, social and relationship fronts to the next level, while leaving behind four planets in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart that will continue to monitor how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off.
