Labor Day offers a brilliant new moon in Virgo, inspiring us to think logically and pay closer attention to details that may bring success to our lives. Maybe you can be of service to elders or help create a community garden. Whatever ideas may surface, many will benefit from your plan. Sharing is the ultimate gift of the heart!
VIRGO
LIVE IT UP
August 23 to September 21
Happy solar return, sweet Virgo! There’s a possibility a significant other or a business partner is sending you mixed messages on how they want to proceed with something that’s near and dear to your heart. You’re looking for answers, but they aim to remain nebulous at this time. Steer clear of all the semantics and just celebrate you; it’s your time, and nothing will change that. A clear direction will find you both soon. Be patient.
LIBRA
DECIDE
September 22 to October 22
You may feel a mental blockage this month: Are you overthinking things? Your “pros and cons” lists are running long, and you need to come to a decision. The best things you can do are meditate or focus on your dreams. The answers are never far away!
SCORPIO
FLAUNT IT
October 23 to November 21
Looks like someone is feeling extra fancy this month; show it off! Venus, the planet of beauty, value and money sits in your sign, begging you to buy a new outfit, change your hair color or purchase that expensive piece of jewelry you’ve been coveting. You are more than deserving.
SAGITTARIUS
SOAR HIGHER
November 22 to December 21

GET OUT THERE

AQUARIUS
OPEN UP
January 20 to February 18
Because of your high intellect and playful arrogance, many don’t realize you have personal challenges to overcome. Spend quiet time this month recognizing your difficulties and possibly vocalizing them to your friends. They’ll be more than happy to remind you of who you are.
PISCES
BE VULNERABLE
February 19 to March 20

ARIES
SPEAK UP

TAURUS
LOOK AGAIN

LEAN IN
July 22 to August 22
Take a minute this month to express what’s on your heart and mind. You have problems with sharing your truth, but doing just that has been effective in the past. Learn different ways of communicating, so everyone can win. Diplomacy and charm go a long way.

LIBRA
BE HEARD

Happy birthday, you dignified flirt! Your magnetism forces everyone to move to the beat of your drum at all times.

SCORPIO

LET LOOSE

BE EASY

GIVE BACK
