Virgo (8/23-9/22): The perfectionism of the Virgo Sign is representative of how nature adds her finishing touches to crops before the harvest season is over in the late summer. The Virgo person has this tendency ingrained within their soul and character. Their attention to detail is unmatched by the other Signs. Thanks for trying to perfect the World. It’s a big job. This late summer birthtime is also a chance to perfect our personal characteristics and habits before turning our focus toward the needs of others and working in partnerships when fall begins. First however, we need to complete the finishing touches to ourselves before we can effectively help others, and the Virgo season will trigger that consciousness. This month there is a Full Moon on the 3rd that lands in your 4th House, which is the home itself. Setting things up at home is part of this time of year. It’s all about preparing for a social commitment for the summer. You go through this routine every time summer gets started. This is somehow related to attracting more income to assure a secure fall and winter ahead. So, summer becomes more than just a time for fun. It can be a very serious time of earning for the Virgins. This month still leaves time to connect with friends and partners, almost as if you are rounding up people for the harvest. The instinct is there even though you may not be a farmer. The 4th is active with others as knowledge is shared. The 9th is another social high point, as well as a good time to bond with another. That’s another instinct to assure a happy summer and a practical pairing to survive later in the year. The 11th has Mercury moving into your Career House. It tends to stimulate your mind to get serious about your “calling” in life, even if you are unemployed or retired. Also, on the 11th, there is a flash of memories that surface about the past. You may be led to reach out for the times of deep passion and significant emotional experiences. The 15th is double the work because you may feel confused and have to redo your efforts. That can get depressing, but you press on because you see the beauty of a goal that you can reach by the 17th. The 25th brings back the confusion as your ideals are smeared with reality. The energy gets better on the 26th as Mercury moves into the more compatible Sign of Cancer. This is a time of constructive progress as your dreams can easily be built into a solid completion. Friends are there for you over the next 30 days as joint plans go perfectly, and they surprise you with their pair of helping hands.

Virgo (8/23-9/22): Two more weeks of Mercury retrograde in the Sign of Taurus. There can be a rhythm to your retrograde times. It happens 3 times each year for 3 weeks each time. It pretty much puts a stop to any forward motion in your life or your personal evolution. It’s a time to relax and look over your recent work or creations. If it wasn’t for the retrograde phase of Mercury, you would zoom past important karmic symbols that require more of your attention. There can be pleasant repeats from earlier encounters during your personal life this month. There is a Lunar Eclipse on the 5th that has a general effect on your short trips and communications of all kinds. There are some intense matters with a sibling that begin or end with this Eclipse. There is an important connection with another from the 12th-19th. This can be a very helpful and constructive encounter. There is a familiarity with this person because of your former lifetime dealings. Saturn is the factor during this 8 day period. That much Saturn energy can easily bring your soulmate into your circle of awareness. This will be a stabilizing force to your life as this new friendship can ground you when Mercury conjuncts Uranus in early June. As the month ends you may feel an unexplained nervousness as this alignment approaches, but those events will pass quickly. The stage we all perform on is undergoing changes as a new environment is forming around us all. You are able, better than most this month, to remain grounded and look at the changes from a higher minded and logical perspective. You may be resistant to some changes, but your understanding nature will soon be able to accept the newness and quickly adapt where needed. Things are changing, and you can accept sensible changes easily.

Virgo (8/23-9/22): The Virgins are very sensitive to the ongoing changes in the World. The 3rd is a time for secrets to be revealed, or not. You could still be confronted with accusations from those of ill-intent. You would think that people like this could find something better to do with their life. You are fortified by Saturn and made strong by Mars from the 5th-8th. Your strength comes from a deep, mysterious place within you that has dealt with many threatening experiences in lifetimes before this one. It’s always a good idea to develop your skills by practice and training. The martial arts are perfect for this 4 day period to blow off some steam. After that comes the discipline needed, to function like a normal human being in the World. The social stage that we all walk across is being ripped away and it’s being replaced to give us a new image to live within. Pluto tends to erase whatever is malfunctioning and puts in its place something better, or more advanced. The implications of Pluto moving into Aquarius has many surprises in store for us. The future is about new discoveries from ancient times, which can shape a different way of living and it could elevate our consciousness in the process. Pluto changes all levels of existence. There will be great changes in the life of a Virgoan as your Solar 8th house is affected by this shifting energy. There will be endings, but some will be replaced by shiny new beginnings. Meanwhile, Mercury keeps moving along until it comes to a stop on the 21st and appears to begin moving backwards from our perspective. This retrograde motion keeps Mercury in the Sign of Taurus until June 11th after it turns forward on the 15th of May. This places a strong emphasis on a compatible Sign to Virgo that will bring positive results from the attention being focused in a different way. Next month we can look at that higher realm of mental and physical experiences. The 23rd brings up the issues from earlier this month as Mercury aspects Mars for the 2nd time by going retrograde. You will have time to think about a resolution to what began on the 8th. It can be very wise to refrain from taking any action overtly. Give matters more thought. This is not the end of this matter, but it can work in your favor by waiting.

Virgo (8/23-9/22): Life is happening quickly as people and events flash brightly, then they get left behind as you have so much to deal with. A stronger than usual sense of responsibility sets the tone for the month, early on. It could be good to work on a plan the first two days that will be somewhat of a stabilizing force as the World sweeps you along with some major changes. Destruction comes from violent air patterns as Pluto changes Signs, moving into Aquarius. Yet, this can also bring powerful humanitarian urges that can right many wrongs. The coming changes could easily affect all of us in one way or another. For the Virgins, there can be an altering of a romantic relationship as Pluto moves out of your Solar 5th House of Capricorn and into your Solar 6th House of Health and Work as a form of service from others, or the work you normally do. The changes are complete and total in most cases. That’s why a romance can end, or perhaps a creative pursuit can end for those in a marriage. For many, it’s a time when children prepare to leave home for good. The middle of March is filled with a flurry of activity. The 16th is like a double-edged sword. There is a chance for beauty and escape to a dream-like place, but there is also a danger of accidents or injury. Just monitor every step you take to be safe. The 17th is very positive and you are filled with dynamic energy, which you will need to finish out this month. On the 18th, you may have an epiphany as to how you can benefit from the major World changes. Then Mercury enters Aries on the 19th and it opens a door to numerous possibilities despite those concerns over this changing World. You are definitely being prompted to take a different path than the one you are on. Fortunately, you are a mutable Sign, which means you are proficient about changes you have to make. There is great happiness on the 28th after you start hiking this new trail. You will feel the support from the Universe.

Virgo (8/23-9/22): It looks like a good month ahead for you. There is just a little upset around the 21st. Dealing with others can be a beautiful thing during the full Moon of the 5th. This good energy will pour over into the next day. This looks good to find romance, or at least to have some great social connections. A new romance can open up a whole can of emotions by the 10th. You may have found the perfect love relationship because it comes with a genuine friendship. That’s what Valentine’s Day is about. The 14th says you can’t have lasting love without a good friendship. Try that on for size to determine if it’s the real thing. There is a high degree of passionate desire this month. The 17th mixes in the happiness factor. Now, you got something going. You can have emotional depth, friendship, and happiness that stems from a strong desire factor. The 22nd brings a boost to your energy as you have a nice connection with the Mars energy. This can benefit your career or your reputation. You want to start off with a jackrabbit burst of speed. This could be the correct velocity to take care of business, or to establish your legacy in the mind’s of others. At any rate, you are blessed with abundant energy to finish out this month. The only problem for you this month besides the trouble on the 21st, is not having enough to criticize. Things are working out easily most of the month. Your critical nature is designed as an attempt to make the World perfect. Most people tend to rebel when you are critical of them, but it’s your role in the circle of life. Perfection requires consent, sometimes.

Virgo (8/23-9/22): Mercury is retrograde, still, until the 18th day of this new year. Mercury as your Sign ruler will be retrograde 4 different times this year for 3 weeks each time. Usually, this planet of the intellect is retrograde only 3 times per year. This shows the importance of our thought processes toward the physical world around us. There can be conservation methods with added importance this year, and you connect on a feeling level with this progress. The month begins with your mind drawn back to memories of recent years and the times of love and beauty that makes life worth breathing in. It is good for the Virgos to reflect on the sunny days and just shred the unsatisfactory days. The 6th-8th are 3 great days to be of a light-hearted and open-minded preparedness for the fun and excitement. See what positive thinking can bring to your life? You seem to be moving toward a unique place or situation. This happens as Mercury forms some interesting angles to Mars around the 17th-20th time duration. There could be an interesting person who appears in your life during, and throughout, those 4 days. Isn’t it great when life can still have times of high energy and excitement. The only problem is that there could be an altering of plans to cause frustration. Plans don’t have to be canceled if a few adjustments can be agreed to. The month finishes out differently for each Virgoan according to what Mercury does to your natal planets. See your local astrologer to be sure. Generally, it’s a fun and playful time for romance or creativity. Whatever ends during this time, can bring peace.
