The Nature of Virgo’s Energy
Mercury, the planet of mental processes, rules Virgo. It’s time to organize, systematize, and declutter your life. Mundane tasks are not sexy but necessary to keep order and maximize success. When thinking of Virgo, imagine an individual meticulously arranging their workspace, drafting lists, and ensuring every detail is just right. There’s an innate desire for perfection here, which can sometimes tip into anxiety or perfectionism if we’re not careful.
Virgo’s influence is critical in shaping our approach to health and wellness. Those with Virgo traits often prioritize fitness and adopt disciplined dietary habits. It’s a sign that encourages introspection, inviting us to scrutinize external factors and our inner personal landscapes. With Virgo ruling our health, it’s crucial to recognize when that keen focus shifts from productive analysis into detrimental overthinking.
Mercury Retrograde Concludes
This transit prompts reflection on our communication styles and encourages us to clarify our intentions and messages. It’s an excellent time to revisit and refine thoughts or projects that may have been left unattended. Mercury stations direct on September 28th. Give it a week to ten days to allow the planet of thought processes and communication to get up to speed. If you can wait, it is best to save big purchases until then.
Venus in Libra: A Dance of Harmony
Venus transits its ruling sign Libra, from August 29 to September 22. The planet that governs love, relationships, culture, beauty, and art. Here, our collective focus shifts towards harmony, aesthetic appreciation, and meaningful connections.
This is a perfect time to embrace collaboration and win-win solutions. However, be wary of the indecisiveness that may accompany this period. With Virgo and Libra energies swirling around, it can become far too easy to overanalyze situations or hold back on decisions, especially in relationships.
Pluto Returns to Capricorn: A Time of Reckoning
Pluto returns to Capricorn from September 1 to November 19. This isn’t just another transit; it signifies a historic moment as Pluto completes its cycle back into Capricorn after nearly 250 years. What does this mean for us? It’s a rare chance to reflect on societal structures and our legacies. This return is a cosmic call for accountability, urging us to confront hidden truths and the influence of power dynamics.
The Lunar Cycle
New moons are cosmic resets that offer an extra boost to manifestation. The Virgo New Moon on September 2 invites setting intentions to improve your health and well-being. Make a list of mundane tasks you have been putting off and get down to work. You may be surprised by how much you enjoy creating order and the resulting feelings of satisfaction.
The Pisces lunar eclipse on September 17 is a time to focus on mental health, tame escapist tendencies, and embrace compassion. Take time to reflect and release anything that no longer serves you. Write down fears, doubts, or negative patterns on paper and physically burn or tear them up. This ritual symbolizes letting go and making room for new blessings.
This event is incredibly potent. Eclipses tend to spotlight the areas of our lives that need our attention. This full moon can spark profound revelations for many of us, particularly about our emotional boundaries and self-care practices. Pisces energy invites us to explore our relationships and to reassess where we might need to strengthen boundaries for a healthier existence.Both lunations encourage nurturing yourself. Whether through a cozy bath, yoga, or simply journaling, it’s crucial to check in with yourself emotionally and physically.
Mars in Cancer: Navigating Emotional Waters
Mars enters Cancer from September 4 to November 3. Mars rules energy, drive and conflict. As it shifts into this emotionally charged sign, it often stirs heightened emotional reactions and prompts an internal exploration of our desires and motivations. We may be more reactive during this period, especially in our emotional responses to family and domestic situations.
Reflect on how you communicate needs and engage with loved ones. Are you creating a nurturing environment, or is there an underlying tension that needs resolving?
