September 2020 I Ching Horoscopes

Pisces

Your September trigrams are Sun (Wind) over Ken (Mountain) and the hexagram is called Chien – Development. These two trigrams are opposites in many ways. The mountain is hard – the wind is soft and flowing and they represent the way that development can be a very rocky path. But the best growth happens organically and this suits your mutable nature. Ken also represents candour and Sun reflection. Take some time in September to reflect honestly on past mistakes. Learn from them because only then can the development truly happen. Guard against the temptation to see yourself as a victim of circumstances. Be gentle with yourself and others.

Aries

Your September trigrams are Ken (Mountain) and Sun (Wind). The hexagram is called Ku ‘Work on what has been spoiled’. No one is perfect and September is a month when you may need to confront your own or others lack of perfection. We all have ideas about how the world works. Not all those ideas are correct and changing them may be uncomfortable. But you value honesty so be honest with yourself and others. But be gentle when dealing with others. Don’t ignore the issue though. This hexagram is telling you now is the time to confront the issues.

Taurus

Your September trigrams are Sun (Wind) over Sun (Wind) and the hexagram is called Sun or the gentle penetrating wind. As a fixed earth sign this gentle wind hexagram does not sit comfortably with you. Resist the temptation to let your stubborn side come to the fore. We don’t see the wind but we see and feel its effects. You cannot see thoughts or words or attitudes but you definitely see and feel their effects. The hexagram is telling you to make sure your words and thoughts are balanced. Balanced thoughts drive balanced actions and when you are trying to influence others,  actions speak MUCH louder than words. ‘Engage brain before operating mouth’ needs to be your mantra this month.

Gemini

Your September trigrams are Ken (Mountain) over Tui (Lake). The hexagram is called Sun or decrease. September may the month when you have to recognise you can’t do it all on your own. Don’t dither – ask for the help you need. Tui is sometimes called ‘The joyousness’ – It represents that inner innocent child that just wants to go and play. Take a look at things with the wide open curiosity of a child. You may be surprised by what you see. Don’t let other’s actions drag you away from what you know is right – however profitable it may be in the short term. September is the month when your words and actions need to be in harmony.

Cancer

Your September trigrams are K’an (Water) over Ch’ien (Heaven) and the hexagram is called Waiting Ch’ien – pure fiery yang and when you get fire under water you get steam which rises up to form clouds. This wonderful image illustrates this hexagram perfectly. You need to keep the fire going to get steam up and get things going. So you need to wait until everything is working together.  This may make you feel confined but hang on in there. Ch’ien rules the head and the seat of wisdom. K’an represents a struggle but your head knows it will be worth it. Don’t let any insecurity cause you to pull back.

Leo

Your September trigrams are Ken (Mountain) over Ch’ien (Heaven) and the hexagram is called Ta Ch’u or The taming power of the great. Mountains are fixed and Ch’ien is pure fire so this hexagram sits well with your sign. You are naturally creative but to be honest you have a stubborn side. However, this means you are well placed to deal with whatever September throws at you good, bad or indifferent. Hold firm to what you know is right and any conflicts will resolve – not because of anything you do but simply by being true to who you are. Let Ken strengthen your back to hold firm, and let the logic and wisdom represented by Ch’ien help you keep the correct perspective on things. But remember things may need to get worse before they get better.

Virgo

Your trigrams are Tui (Lake) over Ken (Mountain). The hexagram is called Hsien or influence. This is a month when your natural strengths will be important. You are naturally loyal, hardworking, practical, steady and that attitude is going to have far more influence over those around you than you may ever realise. Tui is encouraging you to take a joyful, innocent and almost playful approach to things, whilst Ken is holding you steady, supporting your back – holding you firm. That’s not to say there will be no problems but you will cope. Remember every problem is also an opportunity. Do not give into worry and ‘what ifs.’

Libra

Your September trigrams are K’un (Earth) over Ch’ien (Heaven) and the hexagram is called Tai or Peace. This hexagram is a perfect balance of yin and yang and it takes a lot of hard work to make sure the earth of K’un does not put out the fire of Ch’ien. Keeping that perfect balance in your life takes a lot of effort; You have a natural affinity for harmony that means this comes more naturally to you than others but you still need to put the effort in. You may need to deal with a difficult situation that will threaten your balance. Don’t let indecision win out over your diplomatic side. Sometimes even the wrong decision is better than no decision at all.

Scorpio

Your September trigrams are Sun (Wind) over Sun (Wind) and the hexagram is called Sun or the gentle penetrating wind. As a fixed water sign you may feel the need to fight against the gentle airy nature of Sun but you need to be receptive to changes going on around you. Sun is encouraging you to indulge in some reflection about the past and how your present attitudes are driven by your history.  Someone may cause you to question a long held belief. Someone unexpected may have something to teach you. Resist the temptation to lash out with that sting of yours. The lesson is one you need to learn.

Sagittarius

Your September trigrams are Li (Fire) over Chen (Thunder). The hexagram is called Shih ho or biting through – getting to the truth of the matter. Something or someone is going to block you in September. They are not doing so out of perverseness or to punish you. There is more to the situation than meets the eye and you need to take a long hard look at everything. Chen is sometimes called the arousing and things around you may well be arousing you to unusual actions. Clinging to the old way of doing things isn’t going to get you anywhere. Change is in the air.

Capricorn

Your September trigrams are Ken (Mountain) over K’an (Water). The hexagram is called Meng or youthful folly. Children make mistakes and learn from them. Just because you are no longer a child does not mean you have stopped making mistakes and the downside of being a natural manager can be a tendency to assume you have all the answers. K’an represents a hidden danger – in this case that you make an incorrect assumption. Remember ‘assume’ makes an ‘ass’ out of ‘u’ and ‘me’! K’an rules the ears. Yours need to be open to what others are saying even if they are not saying it clearly.

Aquarius

Your September trigrams are K’un (Earth) over Chen (Thunder) and the hexagram is called Fu – The turning point. September is the month when the light will dawn and you start to understand what is going on – either in your life or with someone close to you. K’un is encouraging you to be cautious even though this is not natural to you. Chen is encouraging you to communicate  – listening as well as talking. You may hear something you don’t like but you need to hear it to get a fresh perspective on things. Trust your gut feelings and don’t be afraid to express emotions.
