Happy birthday Virgo!!

Virgo, I know that money, work, your career and in all likelihood your entire life direction has been a key focus for you over the past months. While this does not change in September, you’ll receive a lot of planetary support from your ruler, Mercury, as well as the Venus who gives your finances a boost. 

As we enter September, Mercury, the planet of communications and your ruler, moves into your solar 1st house. This is always the time of the year when you’re in your element more than at any other time. The way you express yourself, the way you come across and what you attract in your life seems to be the right thing at the right time. A lot of this has to do with career opportunities, which are expanding at the moment, so take your pick. You’re very communicative these days and any project, even if it’s just a hobby that requires precise and logical thought and clear ways of explaining the issue at hand, are supported and so are any manual tasks and activities. You’re opinions, wisdom, guidance and leadership skills are pretty sought after these days and so the drain on your finances, which you have been feeling lately, should ease slightly. 

On the same day, the new Moon in Leo takes place in your house of behind the scenes, foreign countries and intuition. This new Moon falls into the nakshatra of Purvaphalguni, the 11^th of 27 'wives of the Moon' and one of three that is ruled by the planet Venus. This is a creative nakshatra which broadly speaking brings skills in arts and a love of pleasure. The deity for this star is Bhaga, the God of Prosperity. For you, this can mean new connections to people from different cultural backgrounds, countries and even religions that you’ll be working or socialising with. It can also be a long-term project that you’re being handed where travelling or a longer stay abroad is on the cards.

Meanwhile, your money situation is looking a lot rosier – at least for the time being – as ALL your money houses are activated. So not only could you be in line for a pay rise, you could also be handed a bonus or money could come to you via your family such as through an inheritance. You’re also turning into the number one sales person this month, so you may be able to add a handful of extra customers to you database by the end of the month. A lot is happening around your finances this month, just make sure you don’t spend what you haven’t (yet) got. You’re very keen to achieve or at least get closer to achieving your goals this month, you’re competitive and ambitious in the work place and this extra portion of energy you have at your disposal now can catapult your earnings to new heights. You’re very involved in what is happening around you now and this also has an effect on your social life. It’s a lively month with a lot of networking and generally being out and about. 

You may need to be careful of coming across as a little too cortical combined with a ‘too much’ energy and drive when you deal with other people and in groups. In other words, this means that you can come across as somewhat domineering with a ‘my way or the highway’ – style of leadership and group involvement. As a typical Virgo, this is of course the last thing that you are but other people may experience your surge of drive and energy as a little overbearing at times. As always, one of the best ways to deal with this extra energy is to get involved in a sports club to find an outlet or, especially in your case, start putting pen to paper and write down your thoughts. 

And then it’s time for relationships which have fallen by the wayside off late. The full Moon on 19^th September is in the sign of Pisces and your 7^th house of committed relationships brings partnerships back into focus and on the agenda. Time to discuss joint finances and decide on the best place to settle down. If you are single, then love may be waiting at work - you’ll be out and about a lot this month, so who knows, the tall, dark, handsome stranger could be sitting next to you at that conference you’ll be going to. 

Have a great month, Virgo!
