September 2024 – Uranus stations retrograde in Taurus on September 1, inspiring you to expand your horizons over the next five months. This is a time to explore, learn, and embrace your free spirit. Pluto retrograde enters Capricorn on the same day and asks you to be honest with yourself about pleasure, romance, and your creative pursuits. Remember that happiness is your birthright.
September Horoscope
Renewal arrives during the Virgo new moon on the second that awakens your authenticity. This is a refreshing confidence boost that encourages you to embrace new beginnings and say yes to new opportunities. Set intentions that honor your individuality and personal manifestations. Mars enters Cancer on September 4, inspiring you to nurture others. Since Mars can be invasive, be sure to respect healthy boundaries.

Recipe of the Month
Beignets & Berries
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water (120° to 130°), divided
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
- 1 large egg
- 3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- Oil for deep-fat frying
- Confectioners’ sugar
- Berries and whipped topping, optional
Directions:
Beat butter, sugar, salt and cinnamon until crumbly. Beat in 1/2 cup water and evaporated milk. In another bowl, dissolve yeast in remaining 2 tablespoons water; add to milk mixture. Beat in egg until blended.
Add 2 cups flour; mix until well blended. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover; refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
Bring dough to room temperature. On a floured surface, roll dough into a 16×12-in. rectangle. Cut into 2-in. squares. In a deep cast-iron skillet or deep- fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Drop beignets, a few at a time, into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners’ sugar. If desired, serve with assorted berries and whipped topping.
