The energy surge that began last month will continue for most of the month, thanks to Mars transiting your Natural 1st House of self, personality and appearance.  There's a possibility, however, that some may interpret all that drive as aggression, particularly those associated with your career or within your community.  The blame for that can be placed squarely on Uranus, planet of upsets, surprises and unexpected events, who is camped out in your Natural 10th House.  This is not to say that you should not move forward, only that you need to keep others' perceptions in mind and make sure you crank up the charm a bit. 

The good news is that Mars is sextile Venus, who is currently in your Natural 3rd House of intellect, neighborhood and short journeys.  This should help soften any of those ill perceptions and assist you with cranking up the aforementioned charm.  This may call for some concessions on your part, but will be well worth it in the long haul.  It's worth noting that Venus has been retrograde since the end of July, which will have turned many of her influences inward.  Thus, you could have been overly enamored with your own ideas while others gave them little more than a hairy eyeball.  The good news is that Venus goes direct on September 7, which will externalize the charm and make your ideas much more palatable to others.  The bottom line here is, if at all possible, keep that brainchild under wraps until then, or risk multiple deer-in-the-headlight looks.

Saturn has been residing in your Natural 3rd House for approximately two years.  During that time, he has placed a damper on your usually quick wit and encumbered your mind with numerous restrictions, delays and structure that has slowed things down considerably.  As annoying as this may have been, the discipline imposed by this will serve you well.  Geminis have a tendency to multiplex far too much, and this will have helped you learn to focus on a single large project rather than dozens of little ones that get you nowhere.  I'm sure that you've made significant progress the past two years, even if you're loathe to admit it.  The good news is that on September 3rd, Saturn brushes his hands together, gives your thought processes one final, stern look, and declare that his work here is done.  And with that parting shot, he'll slip into Virgo, your Natural 4th House of home environment.

While I don't expect you to overly enjoy this transit, it will nonetheless be less painful than the last.  There is no doubt that you could probably use some training in discipline and structure relative to your home environment.  This encompasses your physical home, wherever or whatever that may be, as well as all those with whom you share your abode.  If you're in the military, this will be your barracks; if you're a typical adult with a family living in a house, then it's your home; if you're in college living in a dorm, then it's your dorm and your roommates.  Again, Geminis tend to be somewhat helter-skelter about what they do because their minds move so quickly that their either forget, don't care, or can slow down enough to tend to certain things that are rather important to the rest of the world.  There's no telling what clever means Saturn will employ to help you be more responsible about meeting your home obligations.  But you can bet they're on the way, so pay attention.  Resistance when it comes to planetary transits is futile; you will be assimilated.  More than likely the New Moon eclipse on the 11th will usher in this new era in some manner that will be recognizable if you pay attention, though you probably won't.

Your Sign Ruler, Mercury, the communication and data giant, will be in Libra, your Natural 5th House, from September 6th through 28th.  The 5th House comprises your creativity, children, love life, entertainment preferences and speculation, such as the stock market.  This transit will be very helpful for working on your creative projects, communicating with your children or lover, or for find out when your favorite band will be in concert locally or tracking down data related to your portfolio.  In other words, it will be very useful and you'd do well to put aside whatever else you need to so that you can tend to these important areas while the planets are lending some assistance.  With Jupiter and Pluto still in your Natural 7th House of relationships, any communication assistance you can garner will be doubly valuable.

The Full Moon on the 26th will take place in Aries, your Natural 11th House of groups, organizations, hopes and wishes.  This will occur in close quincunx to Saturn, over there on the threshold of your 4th House, i.e. home environment.  A Full Moon ordinarily indicates the culmination of something, so this could signal the end of an extra-curricular activity or involvement in some organization, perhaps as a prelude to some of the changes and adjustments you'll be making to accommodate Saturn.

This should be a busy and possibly hectic month.  You'll notice Mars' energy within how your project yourself and it will feel especially feel good to get Saturn out of your thought processes.  Expect an increase in responsibilities and obligations on the homefront to take their place, however, and be prepared for some changes.
