VIRGO (AUG 22- SEPT 21)  September is a somewhat calmer month!  It does begin with the lingering effect of the Virgo Sun squaring Uranus, so your nerves might still be a bit jangled.  The first 5 days of the month have Mars in Cancer in an angle to Saturn. If hard work is your jam, you’ll be fine since Mars and Saturn are great for moving mountains, but in any event watch out for feeling stressed and pressured.  Things remain calm until the Virgo new moon on the 10^th, a deliciously earthy new moon, great for getting your  ducks in a row. But the most interesting planetary dynamic is that Venus enters Scorpio on the 10^th and immediately squares Pluto for about a week, an intense combination that raises issues about commitment and intimacy.  The commitment part is broad and is not only about relationships, and so you might be getting involved in things that in another month you might have doubts about… By the 17^th Mercury in Libra opposes Saturn for a few days of mental tension. The Fall Equinox comes on the 22^nd, when the Sun enters Libra, signifying equal day and equal night, a balance between light and the shadow. The 26^th brings a full moon in Libra with the moon sitting on the exact same degree of Aries where Neptune is parked.  Yikes, this strong Neptune influence is complicated—great for receptivity, healing, and creative expression and yet also confusing.  So keep your Virgo smart hat on, use discernment,  and avoid rose-colored glasses!  Mars enters Leo on the 27^th and opposes Pluto for the rest of the month.  This is a great combination for mobilizing others.
