Happy birthday, Virgo! It’s still your season, so focus on yourself! The next few weeks encourage you to follow your heart. It’s not selfish to focus on goals and projects that excite you. Go ahead and put yourself first! You may want to experiment with your sense of style, take on a new role or responsibility, or just feel a boost of confidence!
A new idea emerges at the start of the month on September 1 when Uranus Retrograde begins in Taurus. You’re seeing a situation with a new perspective and considering alternative approaches. You’re feeling open-minded and curious, and you may consider pursing something new, even if it feels odd or random to someone else. On the same day, Pluto Retrograde re-enters Capricorn and you’re fighting against the urge to play small and hide your talent. The next few months take you on a journey of owning your power and sharing your light and gifts with others. You deserve to take up space—there is enough room for everyone!
A New Moon in your sign on September 2 is your yearly reset! You’re ready to ditch old versions of yourself and ignore what other people expect of you. This is a moment to sink deeper into your own authenticity and express yourself fully. You could make fresh plans for yourself or commit to a new ambitious goal. You’re laser-focused on one of your goals when Mars enters Cancer on September 4. The next few weeks give you the inspiration necessary to take a leap of faith and believe in yourself and your ideas. You could also be busy networking and mingling with people who are invested in your ideas. Mars is a planet of frustration, so there can be a bit more tension that pops up in your collaborative projects and relationships, too.
