This article takes a look at the month ahead astrologically for Leo and Virgo. Empower your life through the wisdom of the stars!
When Mercury, the planet of communication and thought turns direct on the 9th followed by a New Moon in the same house on the 14th you’ll be able to see opportunities to express your most gut wrenching fears and insecurities to someone you trust and finally release self defeating thoughts and feelings that have held you back.
Venus, the planet of love, money and beauty, will be retrograde from the 27th until 9/8. Since most of the retrograde occurs in your sign, you will not feel as attractive as usual and may have to guard against low self esteem.
During this time it’s not a good idea to get any plastic surgery or take on a new job since the salary will not be what you had anticipated and you’re also not likely to feel valued. Your personal values and work ethic will be internalized and thought out as well as your capacity for forgiveness.
On the 29th a Full Moon in your 7th house of partnerships will bring a culmination to a relationship whether it is business, personal or marriage. An ending is in sight.
When Mercury, your planetary ruler and the domain of all communication turns direct on the 9th things will start moving forward again for you socially. You’ll feel this most positively and intensely after the New Moon on the 14th fortifies your 11th house even more. Social contacts are made and new friendships are formed. Your calendar will be packed all month long!
The New Moon in your 11th house is a once in a year opportunity to cast out your dreams and hopes to the universe. Try writing them down for your New Moon ritual and mediating on them for a bit and keep this paper in a safe place. Watch the power of the New Moon help you transform your intentions and greatest dreams into reality!
On the 27th Venus, the planet of love and money will turn retrograde until 9/8. This will lessen her powers and will affect you personally if you are a Virgo born in late August since the degree she turns retrograde will be closely aligned with your Sun. Love – how you define it, what you fear about it, the conditions you place on it – all of these issues need to be explored for every Virgo during this phase. The purity of love is a major theme for you and perhaps you need to learn during this time that the intent of love is perfect but the people you love and those who love you can never be.
On the 29th a Full Moon in your 6th house brings health news or an ending to a service or work related project. One of your co-workers or employees may leave the workplace.
