VIRGO August 23^rd-September 21^st
This is quite an important month for Virgos as Neptune, the ruler of your solar house of relationships, will enter into your relationship area, opposing the energy of your sign. Since this is only going to happen once in your lifetime and continues for approximately 13 years, you will all at some point during that time experience about a year or so of this influence. It focuses on relationships and positively it can bring real soul-mates into your life and it can also give you great idealisation of people. You will want to have people around you who are inspiring, magical, spiritual or very creative and if you are lucky you may get people who are of that ilk. It can also, negatively, make you perceive people, (remembering that Neptune can be about smoke and mirrors) as maybe something they or not, or indeed, more to the point, other people may present themselves as something they are not. In other words, one has to keep grounded, check the small print and make sure there is no sleight of hand going on. You can perceive people as heroes and heroines to worship or victims to save which in both cases may not be the truth. Also there is a possibility of a sense of sacrifice and giving unconditionally to someone wisely or not. There may also be some dissolving of ties as a very gradual eroding of the relationship is underway.

However this is Aquarius’ month and this does to some extent put a focus on your working life and indeed the power of your intellect to enhance your everyday work situation is quite strong before the 14th.

Importantly the sign of Pisces is strong in your sign this month. Venus will be in your opposite sign of Pisces until the 8th, mostly affecting those born September 7th to 17th and this will bring the power of empathy, compassion, love and affection into your relationships and your popularity is strong. Mercury in Pisces from the 14th also brings for all born up to September 21st the power of good communications to enhance all situations professionally or romantically, and after the 19th for all born up to September 4th, the power of others should not be underestimated to enhance your life and indeed around the 19th/20th is a particularly magical period, but possibly also one when one has at least to keep grounded.

Mars is currently in your sign in retrograde motion, and this is now a powerful influence for all born September 7th to 16th. This group will be feeling distinctly energised but internally. There will be a feeling of psychological drama and stamina, and a desire to move forward, but the motivation will be psychological, possibly from the past and may have a rather unconscious element. Although there will be a huge feeling of inner energy, it may well be put on ice while you sit and understand and evolve the strategies needed in order to put your desires and goals into operation, which may not be truly manifest until May and June.

Jupiter is now very harmoniously allied to the Suns of those born from August 25th to September 1st. He is bringing the blessings of vacations, good news from other countries, and is very much enhancing legal and academic issues. He is bringing inner or outer growth and positive communications are enhanced.

Saturn is currently enhancing your naturally cautious nature around money, probably to your benefit, although you may feel there are some issues beyond your control for the next four months and with Uranus also in your solar house of joint finances, there is a need to be cautious.

Pluto of course is still plodding his long, circuitous way through Capricorn and has now reached a degree that is enhancing very much the earthy power of those born August 31st to September 3rd. He is bring power to your elbow creatively and giving you a sense of purpose and kismet, and what you are accessing from the depth of your being and from your insight is powerful and will speak to others. You are capable now of reinventing self, organisations and your creative gifts, but importantly this is also a time when your ability to steer romance into a very constructive and empowered situation is yours and indeed, issues around offspring can be equally impressive. Fertility is strong, as is will power and self belief.

The new Moon falls in the 3rd degree of your opposite sign of Pisces on the 21st, suggesting that for all born around August 26th that the 21st could be a day of a sense of a new chapter and new beginnings and the sense of the revitalising and refreshing, particularly when it comes to dealings with others in close connection.
