The Cosmic Connection
By Ursula Duffy
Astrology, by definition, is the study of time and light. One’s personal horoscope, also known as a birth chart or natal chart, is a snapshot of the sun, moon, planets and more at the moment of one’s birth date, time and birth location. This snapshot holds many keys and secrets to one’s personality and characteristics. It can be considered one’s personal map, guidebook and lesson plan for life! Everything in the cosmos continues moving beyond the moment of your birth and influences your life in various and cyclical ways. Cycles according to the rhythm of the sun, moon, planets, stars, seasons and even at specific ages influence your life and possibly your attitude towards life.
The weekly horoscopes provided here in Shore Local Newsmagazine are written based on your rising sign. These horoscopes are intended to provide guidance and insight based on these rhythms and the cosmic connection to your lived experience. So much is written in the stars! It is my intention that these entries will assist you in deciphering what is encoded within you.
Horoscopes for Sept. 5 – 11
♈Aries: How have your closest relationships changed over the last year? There’s grace in allowing the release of people who disturb your peace. Let go with gratitude for the lessons you’ve learned about yourself.
♉Taurus: Having balance in your daily life is of the utmost importance to your work, physical health and mental health. Disconnect from that which disrupts your equilibrium.
♊Gemini: Do you value joy? Consideration of this has likely been a theme in your life for a while. It’s a good time to actively focus on increasing your overall happiness.
♋Cancer: The balance of work and home/family has been in your awareness for over a year. It’s a good time to direct attention to creating a more nurturing and harmonious household.
♌Leo: Life has been quite adventurous since last summer! What more can you do to realize the fullest potential of all you have learned and how much you have grown?
♍Virgo: What are you still allowing in your space that doesn’t make you feel good? Be honest with yourself. Remove belongings, resources and anything else that takes your time away from feeling fulfilled and confident.
♎Libra: The path to becoming the best, healthiest, most spectacular version of you has been an ongoing journey. The final push in releasing anything no longer serving this journey is here.
♏Scorpio: Remember that everything is energy. Disruption of your peace can come from things unseen such as the emotions of others. Protection of your energy and reinforcement of boundaries are oftentimes necessary daily practices.
♐Sagittarius: Following your dreams and passions is a usual course of action. Sometimes though, it’s necessary to let go of something holding you back. Plans and intentions for the future require a fair and diplomatic approach.
♑Capricorn: The end of an 18-month chapter is coming near. This chapter in your story involves your work/career and your roots. If there are any changes that still need to be made, take action sooner rather than later.
♒Aquarius: How has your perspective changed over the last year? Sometimes focusing more closely on one’s immediate surroundings can foster the most cosmopolitan point of view.
♓Pisces: Despite one’s best efforts, sometimes the best path forward for oneself is through breaking promises and/or canceling contracts. Compassion, fairness and equality in negotiations can foster the best results for all parties involved.
Weekly summary:
This week’s energies will have a main theme of active participation in releasing what disturbs our peace. This theme has been prevalent since July 2023, and the final phase is upon us. The cosmic connection for everyone individually and collectively is to be truthful about the value placed on having harmony, balance and fairness in life. That also means being OK with letting go of the relationship to whatever or whoever takes that away from us. See the above horoscope for your rising sign for more specific information.
