Virgo
AUG 23 - SEP 22
Showcase Your Talents
Virgo, the sun in your sign until September 22 encourages you to step up and showcase your abilities and talents to the world. The coming weeks are all about you and what makes you happy. There is no harm in being selfish, because this is the time to indulge your whims and follow your heart.
Sweet Venus turns direct in Leo and a spiritual sector on the third, which could conclude a period of meditation and introspection. The insights you have gleaned from this time could be very valuable.
Talkative Mercury is also retrograde in Virgo until September 15, so you might experience delays and frustrations until it turns direct and gets back on track.
Even so, you’ll want to take advantage of the new moon in your sign that aligns with electric Uranus on the fourteenth. This is a great opportunity to initiate new ideas or jettison a bad habit and adopt a new, healthier one. You might find that something occurs to you out of the blue that sets you on a new path. Perhaps it’s an encounter, something you read, or information that arises at just the right time. Whatever it is, it could open new doors for you.
The sun moves into Libra and your personal financial sector on September 22, encouraging you to set goals for the coming weeks and months and resolve any issues that are draining your resources. With fiery Mars also in this sector, you’ll be eager to balance the books and find ways to cut back your expenses and save more for a rainy day.
Finally, the full moon in Aries on the twenty-ninth could bring an urge to splurge. While you might have vowed to not indulge in too many treats, this lunar phase could leave you feeling a little vulnerable and in need of some comfort. Why not be nice to yourself just for today?
