With Venus shifting direct in your sign on September 3rd, you’re going to look at yourself in a whole new light, and others will look at you strikingly as well. Instead of getting swept up by the revived attention, make sure to be clear with yourself and others about what their intentions are in wanting to be in your sphere of influence.

ELEMENT: AIR

Ladies of Capricorn, the month of September is going to be quite sweet to you, even in the midst ofseven planetary retrogrades. Virgo season harmonizes well with your Capricorn nature, allowing you to slow your roll enough to smell the roses and acknowledge just how much work you’ve put in this year. But you should also remember that there’s more to life than just work. Jupiter, the Planet of Luck, begins its retrograde in the pleasure-focused sign of Taurus on the 4th, and this retrograde may help reorient you toward activities you loved doing or always wanted to do as a child. With Venus shifting direct in Leo at the start of the month, you’re likely to notice a slow and steady boost in your finances, as well as in your mentality about your finances. The retrograde caused you to face your biggest fears regarding the concept of success and ambition, and now that Venus is direct you’ll see that most of those fears were blown out of proportion, and were tied to childhood traumas that you still had to unpack. Once Libra season begins on the 23rd, you’ll notice yourself being open to unexpected outings and connections, especially since Mercury will no longer be retrograde at that point in time. Say yes to adventures and new beginnings, Capricorn. You deserve them.
AQUARIUS
JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 19
ELEMENT: AIR
Ruler of the CALVES, ANKLES, SHINS, CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
Aquarian girls, Aquarius, one of your planetary rulers, Uranus, spends its first full month retrograde in Taurus this month. Taurus energy tends to square off (create astrological friction) with your Aquarius nature, so this won’t necessarily be the most smooth-sailing retrograde. You’d benefit from taking a tech-detox during the first half of September, or considerably decreasing your tech use, as having both Mercury and Uranus retrograde in Earth signs at the same time can lead to overstimulation.
Virgo season is prime time for taking a look at your current collaborators and making sure there’s a reciprocal exchange of energy. Financial and business investments would also benefit from being thoroughly reviewed this month — use the Virgo new moon on the 14th, followed by the end of Mercury retrograde on the 15th to get those affairs in order so that you can enter Q4 feeling on top of your game.
Libra Season starts on the 23rd, and harmonizes well with your airy Aquarius nature. This is anideal time to create a bucket list of activities you’ve been wanting to do before the year isover, and get started on them, ideally with an adventure buddy by your side. Social interactions could lead to exciting opportunities.
PISCES
FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20
ELEMENT: WATER
Ruler of the FEET, TOES, PITUITARY and PINEAL GLANDS
Hey Pisces girl, as the month begins you’re still feeling the influence of the full moon in your sign that took place at the end of August. It’s therefore best to give yourself plenty of time to daydream and ease your way into September, because the cosmic downloads will still be intense. Keep a dream journal by your side, especially once Venus ends its retrograde on the 3rd, in the sign of Leo. Whatever unanswered questions you may have in your waking world will be answered in your subconscious. The Virgo new moon on the 14th brings attention to your sector of partnership and marriage, encouraging you to set intentions to this part of your life over the course of the next six months. Think back to where you were six months ago, during the Virgo full moon during Pisces Season. Since this new moon’s taking place on the last day of Mercury retrograde, many of your intentions are likely to do with unfinished business and will help you see blindspots that you had previously missed. By the time Libra Season starts on the 23rd, followed by the Aries full moon on the 29th, you may be pleasantly surprised by how much progress you’ve made this month on a spiritual, financial, and professional level, Pisces. Your intuition is strong; trust it to guide you in making important decisions.
