Virgo

August 23rd to September 22nd
When the sun moves into the sign of the virgin priestess, efficiency, precision, perfection, and work ethics are at the forefront. Projects that were in the works may stall due to Mercury, the ruler of this sign, which is in retrograde for most of this month. Review current strategies and tactfully share them with colleagues. A few wellness tips for this mutable earth sign are to eat locally grown foods, have an herbal wrap, volunteer at the local animal shelter, and get outside to enjoy nature’s harvest.

Libra

September 23rd to October 23rd
Mars progresses into the sign of the scales, enhancing collaboration and dynamic energy. Being playful, feisty, and full of witty banter with friends pushes their limits. Stay centered when things get off-kilter.

Scorpio

October 24th to November 21st
Use your intuitive abilities to perceive how people feel. This deeply seeded awareness can be beneficially resourceful when used for good rather than aggravating others’ soft spots and driving them away.

Sagittarius

November 22nd to December 21st
Finding healthy communities will reduce the burden of responsibilities. Navigate between business and pleasure to alleviate pressure. You will still have loads of energy to do what you love.

Capricorn

December 22nd to January 19th
Challenging situations may feel overwhelming at times. Draw on the available support and reach out to those you trust who have your back. Strategize your next steps to help you continue your journey.

Aquarius

January 20th to February 18th
Creative and innovative ideas are being downloaded for later. You love being inspired, but this doesn’t always convert into action despite hard work and discipline. Wait until more energy is available to act.

Pisces

February 19th to March 20th
Compartmentalizing all aspects of yourself doesn’t translate and take into account the larger picture. Accept the parts you dislike and embrace the imperfections that make you extraordinary.

Aries

March 21st to April 19th
It’s time to see what was accomplished upon completion of a finished product. Innovative ideas lead the way with the formation of teams built from collaborators. This skillset benefits future efficiency.

Taurus

April 20th to May 20th
Jupiter retrogrades toward idealism where goals and plans are concerned. If current actions go astray, regroup and rectify alternative perspectives. This accelerates the opening of new and unexpected pathways.

Gemini

May 21st to June 21st
With Mercury retrograde, create time for editing and detailed analysis of existing projects. This will help you mentally focus when it’s time to start something fresh in your next creative endeavor.

Cancer

June 22nd to July 22nd
Things from the past come to the forefront. These issues need clarification and clear communication. The opportunity to stand up for yourself gives you confidence and a new way to navigate feelings.

Leo

July 23rd to August 22nd
Embrace compassion for radiant self-love and be kind to yourself. These irreplaceable gifts are often forgotten. This training helps develop a strong will and dissolution of personal dissatisfaction.
