Exeter's Horoscope: September 2010
This special horoscope for Exeter is based on the spring equinox of 1133, the year when the Cathedral was consecrated...
September should be a very beneficial month for Exeter. Arts, music or paintings exhibitions should prove successful. Mental contests like chess could draw plenty of participants.
The weather in Exeter at the beginning of the month could carry more pollens than is usual in this season and this might slightly affect some sensitive people. Nature reserves and parks will be pleasant to walk about, save a few days mid-month where the weather forecast could be disturbed.
Education in Exeter, particularly with Universities, could see new, modern and original concepts integrated in the syllabus. The Exeter Castle paranormal investigation, to take place on 11 September, is likely to have some interesting ghost-seeking!
Roadworks will be plentiful and oriented towards an improvement of services in town, a laudable effort, which may infuriate some of the shorter-sighted population. There will works to make the town more beautiful, possibly rearrangement of plants in parks and gardens.
Sports events taking place in Exeter should be well attended this month and give some pleasant and unexpected surprises to sports people who have trained very hard.
Exeter will be striving for power and influence. It will assume a leadership role this month and could get mentions in the national newspapers for some achievements. It will succeed in improving relations with neighbouring towns. By month-end, there might be some difficult decisions for the town to make, which would require compromise or negotiations.
The surrounding parts around town could see some difficulties with agriculture towards mid-month. There are conflicts indicated with "food or nutrients" for plants which, by a stretch of imagination, could concern farmers and gardeners when it comes to fertilizers and pesticides.

ARIES 21 March - 20 April
Love without strings, happiness in family matters and a good time to get pregnant. For those with adventurous activities, you will be lucky and can do no wrong. Beware of untidiness though.
TAURUS 21 April - 20 May
Travel is connected to money matters in the 1st half of the month. Then family comes to the fore with difficulties in communicating. Remain flexible and problems will be solved by month-end.
GEMINI 21 May - 20 June
Some financial restrictions will ease mid-month. Professionals who need to convince others will be able to deliver the Moon at their boss' feet. Very social month but love is superficial.
CANCER 21 June - 20 July
A contradictory period starting with passionate love, inflow of money and luck. Month-end is concerned with solving the last remnants of old feuds. Some could get married hastily.
LEO 21 July - 20 August
Working conditions will improve greatly. Show your best qualities and negotiate with any administration that deals with permits or money. It's a good time to request loans or payment delays.
VIRGO 21 August - 20 September
Health care and home repairs are on this month's menu with positive outcomes, particularly for twin people. For new work projects, dashes of genius ideas. Beware of leaking plumbing at home.
|
LIBRA 21 September - 20 Oct
Friendship and diplomacy are your slogans. Thorny issues can be presented with style to conclude successful negotiations, even with crafty people. Watch it not to loose your wallet or purse.
SCORPIO 21 October - 20 Nov
Will travel in pursuit of fortune and a happier life or finally obtain a long due promotion. Love, marriage and holidays up to mid-month, then a time of quiet and happy inner ramblings.
SAGITTARIUS 21 November - 20 Dec
A really good time, a tad too agitated and expensive social life, but this could bring a worthwhile new long-term project. Watch out interest rates on your loans and renegotiate if necessary.
CAPRICORN 21 December - 20 Jan
For some, science could help starting a baby. Others will change their children's education. Emotions will run deep and could be positively expressed inside the bedroom. Work may feel boring.
AQUARIUS 21 January - 20 February
Time for a holiday as it's almost impossible to go forward with any work. Travelling, studying new cultures and change cooking style will bring much needed relief from hysterical colleagues.
PISCES 21st February - 20 March
New loves could prove very interesting, having the potential of becoming long-term relationships leading to a happy marriage. Work might be less satisfactory and need complete reorganisation.
