For a long time Astrologers have been saying that September 2012 is going to be epic, but I’m finally beginning to fully realize what they mean.

I just read the latest blog from Maria DeSimone at Tarot.com, and while she’s not trying to send anyone into a panic, she did get me to sit up and take notice.

Most of the dramatic changes in store for us this month will happen in the second half of September, when Maria says we’ll pretty much be “walking on a tightrope of dynamite.”

Yipes!

Maria says we can expect huge changes in our personal lives and volatile events on a global scale, but it’s important to also remember that these changes are necessary for growth and progress and to get to an overall better place. And also, the cosmic events this month will affect some people more than others.

September 19 (Uranus square Pluto) and September 29 (Full Moon in Aries) are the key dates to watch, so I know wherever I am on those days I’ll have one eye fixed on Google news. And of course, there was a big earthquake in Costa Rica yesterday, so I can’t help but wonder if this is the beginning of more upheaval to come.

As for me, I am extremely curious to find out what might happen in my personal life. Things are good right now (knock on wood), and I don’t necessarily WANT any big changes right now. My job and relationship are stable, my cats are noisy and playful, my family and friends are all good. I feel very lucky, and therefore worried about what might happen.

Of course, I am one of the people who won’t be majorly affected by September’s events, according to my birth chart. Maria’s blog details how and who it will affect the most, and it involves those who have key planets at key degrees in certain signs. My own chart looks fairly benign.

Check out her blog and refer to your own birth chart to see if you’re in the trouble zone! And for all of us, let’s just stay as positive and self-aware as ever this month. It’s only September 6, so stay tuned …
