SEPTEMBER 2010
21 November-21 December
What seems too good to be true may succeed or fail due to timing. You'll hear about something early this month – perhaps as soon as the 4th or 8th. Then you'll get the bum's rush about getting in on the ground floor on the 9th and 12th. You'll feel almost unbearably tempted to go along with another's slick presentation or invitation on the 14th – but hang on, Sagittarius. If this is as great as the salesperson or representative is indicating, it'll still be fabulous on the 17th and 18th. Those are the days you can seriously consider signing up or verbally agreeing to something. Until then, do some background work. Make sure that the person you're dealing with is bona fide. Look up the background of his or her organization. Talk to people who work there. Are they happy? Are things going well – or are there a lot of cutbacks and is quality being sacrificed due to money issues? Do a live autopsy on the person and organization he or she represents before you agree to anything. Go ahead and listen, be enthused, and cull as much info as possible. Then compare what you've heard from the rep to what you read online, in the paper, and hear from employees. If you're still smitten and it seems like a can't lose kind of deal, feel free to agree on the 17th. Ironically, despite all the research you did, you may have some fleeting questions or doubts on the 21st. On the 22nd, when the Sun moves into Libra, ushering in the fall Equinox, you're more at peace, temporarily. The 23rd brings a bold, brassy Full Moon in Aries, egging you on to kick down your stall and bolt to the next pasture, state or continent. At the end of the month, you're asked to set an agenda for your work, duties, and what you expect in return. You find this kind of refreshing and respectful. Maybe you did make the right choice after all. Monthly touchstone: Hiddenite.
