Gemini, September 2017

Mercury retrograde is finally almost over.

Welcome to Virgo season, Gemini! Virgo is a grounded Earth sign, so expect to connect with your home base, your roots, your family, and, emotionally, with what makes you feel safe.

As the social butterfly of the zodiac, you're usually not interested in hanging out at home. However, during Virgo season, spending time in your backyard, with close friends and family, talking about the old days, feels right. The energy is nostalgic; indeed, with your ruling planet, Mercury, being retrograde at the start of this month, you will be looking back rather than moving forward.

Mercury is retrograde in Leo until September 5, and you'll notice that there are more miscommunications, delays, and technical difficulties than usual. Information you previously missed will make its way back to you, including old gossip.

Before ending its retrograde, Mercury will meet with warrior planet Mars on September 3, which is a day you should watch for. Mars is an impulsive, fiery energy. Watch what you say; try not to hurt anyone's feelings!

Mercury meets with Mars again on September 16; by this time, Mercury won't be retrograde, and they will meet in Virgo. Conversation will be focused on your home and your personal boundaries.

Mars will enter Virgo on September 5, lighting a fire under you. You'll take care of problems at home and with family.

Mars will enter Virgo on September 5, lighting a fire under you. You'll take care of problems at home and with family. Looking to move? Need to rearrange your space? Need to kick out a roommate? Mars will bring you bravery. In analytical Earth sign Virgo, it will also help you stay calm and logical about whatever you need to do. Virgo's energy is all about the facts!

A full moon, in sensitive and psychic Water sign Pisces, lands September 6. Virgo might be chill and logical, but Pisces is a dreamer who isn't afraid to cry buckets of tears. (Expect to be emotional as hell, Gemini!) Virgo season has focused so much energy on your home, but this full moon will find you focusing on your career and reputation. An ending, perhaps in your career, may surface, or a chapter may close. Finding balance between your public and private life is the key to working well with this intense and emotional energy.

You, Gemini, might be a messy multitasker, but you still approach the world logically and do your best to be organized. Let go of perfectionism; trust your intuition. Pisces's energy is imaginative and creative. Tap into these parts of yourself by letting go of your to-do lists and following your gut, wherever it takes you.

Venus enters Virgo on September 19. Venus is the planet of love, money, beauty, and, on an esoteric level, values. Venus in Virgo has minimalist tendencies, but is excited by the avant-garde, and turned on by people who pay attention to detail. (Like you, Gemini, Virgo vibes are perfectionistic!)

Venus traveling through Virgo will be a wonderful time. Redecorate your home and smooth over any arguments with roommates. Venus is charming; people find it easier to get along when she is around!

A new moon in Virgo arrives September 20, which will alleviate issues at home or with the people you live with. It's time to cleanse your home (literally cleanse your home—change your sheets!) or embrace a fresh start, like moving, with your personal space and privacy.

Jupiter and Uranus oppose each other on September 27, a day you should circle on your calendar, Gemini. It's one of the most astrologically significant days of the month.

Your planetary ruler, Mercury, opposes Neptune on September 19, which will be one of the more confusing times of the month. Mercury is logical; Neptune is the planet of fantasy. It's hard to hear, think, see, or speak clearly when Neptune's fog descends! Be careful not to succumb to paranoid thinking. Avoid important conversations or meetings; they won't go anywhere, especially at work.

You'll feel this planetary influence strongly during the new moon. The best way to deal with it is to trust your intuition instead of being confused by outside sources and opinions. Be firm about your boundaries, because Neptune has a tendency to blur the lines.

Your home, and your work life, will be affected by the planetary transit; however, you can work with this energy productively by focusing on your creative outlets, slowing down, and taking a little break. Do some daydreaming!

A juicy insider's scoop is on the way on September 22. Your planetary ruler, Mercury, connects with Pluto, the lord of the underworld! Pluto has access to everything hidden and secret, and Mercury knows how to talk anyone into anything. This is a potent combination of planets! An intimate conversation may lead to emotional transformation. You'll get closer to someone, or get closer to understanding yourself. You're complex, Gemini!

The autumn equinox arrives September 22 when the Sun enters fellow Air sign Libra. Mercury soon follows the Sun, entering Libra on September 29. Your home life and your career are big themes this month, Gemini, but Libra season is about you having fun: flirting, romance, and creativity!

That said, a tense day will be September 25, when Mercury clashes with Saturn, the planet of limitations and obstacles. Getting your point across won't be easy. People will be in shitty moods, so don't ask for a favor. Your partners will be especially uptight.

Jupiter and Uranus oppose each other on September 27, a day you should circle on your calendar, Gemini. It's one of the most astrologically significant days of the month. Jupiter will bring blessings to your love life and your creative pursuits. Uranus will have you cross paths with unexpected, exciting people. When these planets oppose, shocking information will be revealed! Uranus is a planet that loves its freedom, and Jupiter is a planet that expands the energy around it. No one will want to be tied down. Freedom is the key word for the end of this month! See you in October!
