Monthly Astro News August-September 2020

The welcome news for this month is expansive Jupiter finally goes direct on September 13 ensuring our optimism returns bringing abundance and reward. While Jupiter has been retrograde we have been gaining knowledge from inside ourselves and building up our self-confidence. Now that lucky planet Jupiter is moving forward again a positive uplifting energy will begin to emerge making our hopes and dreams a reality.

After last month’s Leo Sun provided the energy, confidence and creative expression to pursue our goals, now our attention turns towards the practical day to day concerns of our lives. This is the time when we feel the urge to do an internal and external spring-cleaning. The Sun moves into Virgo August 22 so for the next 4 weeks it’s all about getting our house and life in order focusing our attention on practical concerns and any work related projects.

Virgo’s are diligent, meticulous and hardworking and their attributes work towards bringing order out of any chaos. We also have a New Moon in Virgo September 17 supporting us to make any positive changes to our health and wellness and any hands-on work related tasks. We must watch our health, especially our nervous system, intestines and stomach. It is certainly an ideal time to stop any habits, join the gym, begin yoga classes or start that diet. Holistic and homeopathic treatments are often favoured and can bring excellent results. Now is the ideal time for clearing out the shed, home-office and even sorting through the kitchen cupboards and cleansing our homes. Virgo loves to be of service so we may wish to lend our assistance to family, friends and the local community.

On September 2 we have a soulful Full Moon in Pisces reminding us to take a break and spend much needed time on our spiritual well-being. Escaping from any extra demands to be in your heart centre will be highly beneficial for this sensitive period.

From September 6 it’s time to bring out the heels as Venus enters Leo, this is when our feminine and love connections have left the kitchen and we are now ready to hit the town for some much needed fun, glitz and glamourous attention. A perfect month to host an event or party bringing out our inner diva and to shine like diamonds. Also on September 6 Mercury will be entering Libra offering harmonious and fair interactions to all our personal and business relationships.

Mars the red planet begins its retrograde motion in Aries from September 10- November 14 Mars, being the ruler of Aries is where we find our bravery, personal power, anger, assertiveness, passion and inner drives. Whilst Mars is retrograde we may feel our energy depleted and could leave us lacking in motivation to complete the tasks that seem to be taking a toll. Arguments and aggressive tendencies could leave us feeling exhausted and discouraged. Mars in Aries, while retrograde may result in an inability to express our anger and rage, frustrations may develop, slowing down our personal drive. This is a moment to recharge our batteries, a period where we must review our purpose, our motivations and ask where we really want to go in our lives. This temporary two month pause is a stage to reassess our direction and to revaluate and reinvent our identity. Mars rushes in initiating with fire and passion to forge ahead our desires with sheer will-power and determination. Mars in astrology, is where we look for action, initiative, leadership, activity, and sexual impulses but Mars can also be hot-headed, over-reactive, impatient and hostile. Mars in Aries, in retrograde motion is when we are required to think before we act, to pull back, take a break, gather our strength and reconsider our actions so by November when Mars moves forward again we are stronger more prepared and motivated to pursue our ambitions and goals. By rebuilding our strength slowly, rediscovering our passions and restoring our vitality we can recharge and reignite our passions, motivations and confidently recreate our future plans.

Happy Birthday Virgo

Powerful Pluto and Saturn the great teachers of the zodiac have been transforming your self-expression and creative potential. You may have had to step up and take a leadership role as teacher or parent and you could even be making money from your artistic pursuits from either teaching or guiding others. Committing to your creative expression with maturity through guiding, learning and training will offer you the joy and self-fulfilment you seek in 2020, gaining the respect of others is your motivation now. The good news is that lucky planet Jupiter is now moving direct in your 5th house to finally bring you the advantages and provide the confidence to forge your ideas and expand your potential. In 2021 responsible Saturn and fortunate Jupiter will be influencing your 6th house of work and health so you may wish to commit to a daily health program or you may even get a promotion, decide to change jobs or take on more responsibility at work. Mars will be the driving force in your career house from March 2021 so it is during that time you may wish to impress others with your energy and confidence.

Mars is currently leading your 8th house and will be retrograde from September 10- November 14 encouraging you to do some researching and investigation into your financial position. Seek advice from others in the know, ask questions and analyse your options.

Neptune in your 7th house of business and personal relationships has been asking you to follow your bliss and intuition. If you are single then you are wanting a deep spiritual connection and will not settle for anything else but if in a relationship Neptune could also be deluding you, so ask yourself is this relationship really heart based? or an illusion? or are you sacrificing to much in your personal or business relationships? From July 2021 Jupiter will grant you that spiritual soul mate connection, so continue to have faith.

Uranus in your 9th house provides a chance to learn and connect with others globally especially through the use of the internet. International connections will help broaden your view on life, travel and higher wisdom. A New Moon in Virgo September 17 is a chance for a new you, a new identity, a great time for an updated wardrobe, new hairstyle or moving forward with your goals with confidence.

Full Moon in Pisces September 2

This Full Moon in Pisces will be a highly sensitive time where we may be feeling more vulnerable and insecure. The Pisces Moon will be in opposition to the Sun in Virgo so our emotions and logic will be in conflict. We have a pressing need to escape reality and as the pressure builds an overflow of emotions can occur. Our health could be severely effected by not allowing time to rest and connect with our inner selves. Allowing moments to feel and connect with our spirit is a must during this soulful moon and our emotions will need to flow. A highly imaginative and intuitive time for artists, creative pursuits and spiritual connections. Tuning out, escaping from the mundane and listening to your inner voice will bring much needed healing for your Soul.

New Moon in Virgo September 17

The New Moon in Virgo may inspire you to make positive changes to improve your life. New beginnings to our health, lifestyle, diet and wellness are encouraged along with committing to a new healthy routine. This is an ideal time to improve our physical and mental health, declutter, tidy and organise our household and work space. Cleansing our body with lots of water, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and tidying our homes will be highly beneficial along with staying grounded and looking after our well-being.
