The month begins with high frustration (Saturn square Mars) but by the 14^th-15^th people will feel idealistic and hopeful as technological innovation increases with rapidity, and amazing possibilities electrify (Venus trine Neptune; Mars trine Uranus). The 16^th brings harsh news, perhaps of an accident, a quake, or even terrorism (Mercury opposite Uranus). From the 19^th -20^th, general improvement progresses slowly (Venus conjunct Saturn/Node in Scorpio, sextile Pluto), indicating that a Higher Power wants people to keep it together and flourish (Pluto station direct in Capricorn, sextile Saturn exact/Venus/Node). The 27^th is a day of enjoyment (Venus trine Jupiter).  

For The U.S., September begins with a very fortunate pattern of prosperity (Jupiter conjunct U.S. Sun), but progress proceeds slowly (Jupiter square Saturn). Most of the month remains hopeful and idealistic (Neptune trine U.S. Venus), with stability and maturity holding strong (Saturn trine U.S. progressed Sun). On the 9^th, Hollywood and the entertainment industry are given a boost (Mars conjunct U.S. Node in Leo). There are pleasant feelings and a celebratory atmosphere from the 12^th-16^th (Venus conjunct U.S. progressed Moon, trine U.S. Venus/Jupiter).   However, sudden news can reflect a shock of rebellion, disruption or drastic change on the 19^th, with much tension surrounding government, legislation, or the job market (progressed Sun square U.S. Uranus); it will be hard to get a straight answer on that day, as much is obfuscated (Full Moon in U.S. H3 opposite U.S. Neptune exact). The 20^th features a positive transformation taking place within the news media itself (Pluto station direct sextile U.S. progressed Sun exact in H3). This is a good day for longterm planning (Mars sextile U.S. Saturn in H10). The 23^rd is a day of pleasantries (Venus trine U.S. Sun), and the 24^th, a day to focus on strengthening the economy (U.S. progressed Moon in Scorpio semi-sextile U.S. Midheaven). Tact vies with aggression from the 29^th-30^th (Venus square U.S. progressed Mercury; Jupiter square U.S. progressed Mars), with the latter prevailing.

For President Obama, the month brings a continuation of excessive fantasizing or lack of grounding (Neptune square his Moon). He may be writing and speaking a lot, or arguing, on the 1^st (Mars conjunct his Mercury). From the 7^th-10^th, he can vacillate between charisma or hurt (Venus conjunct his progressed Mars/progressed Mercury, square his Saturn/progressed Jupiter), and by the 10^th-11^th, he feels drained (Mars square his Neptune). The 13^th brings a reopening regarding alliances (e.g., with Putin) (his progressed Moon in H3 trine his progressed Uranus in H7), while a good reality check continues mid-month (Saturn sextile his progressed Pluto). There can be quarrels on the 17^th (Mars conjunct his Sun).   The 20^th shows him to be growing tougher, and less likely to be bullied (Pluto station direct sextile his Neptune exact, trine his progressed Pluto exact). He should avoid signing agreements on the 24^th as to not be too conciliatory (his progressed Moon opposite his Libran progressed Mercury). The second half of the month requires reevaluation of his dreams (Saturn conjunct his Neptune). From the 26^th-27^th, domestic troubles force change, and he will either find team players or conflict with others (his progressed Moon quinqunx his Midheaven; Mars conjunct his Descendant). The end of the month gives enjoyment on the homefront once more (Jupiter conjunct his progressed IC).

Many people think Hillary Clinton (10/26/47, Chicago) will seek the presidency in 2016. I will write more about this as things unfold. However, this Fall is undoubtedly a period of blockage for her, with very karmic portents (Saturn conjunct her Chiron/Venus/Mercury, square her Mars/Pluto/Saturn). Depending on her true birth time (8 AM or 8 PM), about which she has been coy, her career prospects may even unravel by next Spring (Neptune conjunct a possible Midheaven).
