This week holds potential to catalyze change. On Wednesday, we start to feel like we're on the verge of a purge as the Sun says goodbye to Leo before entering fastidious Virgo on Thursday at 12:09 AM. When the Sun is at the initial degrees of Virgo on Thursday and Friday, make changes that allow for more flexibility.Virgo season is a massive back-to-school vibe; one of great anticipation. We have an extra push to realize our goals: Mars is currently at its most powerful degree in Capricorn until September 9, giving us the drive to achieve our ambitions. (However, it is still retrograde until next week, so people are being flaccid and petty.) On Saturday, the Sun harmonizes with shocking Uranus at 12:36 PM, allowing us to envision new ways of being—and then with humbling Saturn at 6:07 PM, providing a practical edge to help realize our visions.
Everyone is going to feel Sunday’s intensely sensitive and nearly psychic full Moon in Pisces, which is exact at 7:56 AM before passing over a sensitive degree, heightening its effects. Sunday's emotions heighten when love and money planet Venus squares off with power planet Pluto at 3:18 PM, creating conflict around power dynamics in relationships. Use this Pisces Moon’s sensitivity to let others know how much they’re valued, because someone feels like they’re getting the short end of the stick. Since full Moons symbolize endings, Mars retrograde leads to arguments, and Venus and Pluto are rubbing each other the wrong way, Sunday is a climactic day for transformative change.All times EST.
You’ll be more impulsive on Wednesday as the Sun begins to exit Leo before pushing into Virgo at midnight.
