Today's Astrology Forecast | August 31, 2019 - triggered by words, the dangers of unsolicited advice, sitting with the information, some things aren't fixable, chill out

The Moon in Virgo's final aspect was a trine to Pluto at 4:46AM EDT (nice, solid manifestation energy). The Moon will be Void all day until she enters social Libra at 7:08PM EDT. I hope everyone will have some time to chill out today - all these planets in Virgo can be exhausting!

Mercury inconjuncts Chiron at 4 degrees Virgo/Aries. We talked about this in the New Moon post, but the exact aspect is today. Practical language or information (that Mercury in Virgo) triggers an old wound around our courage/ability to take care of ourselves/go it alone/our ability to initiate/our passion.

Not the best time to offer unsolicited advice.

Not the best time to try to "fix" something, probably with words, that isn't fixable.

This is the fly in the ointment of the New Moon chart playing out over the next month. Inconjuncts are the rock and the hard place and Chiron is already about the stuff we "just have to learn to live with".

We might have to respond to something that we can't make 100% better or stand up for ourselves or do something on our own now that isn't totally comfortable. We might be starting/working with something that isn't exactly the way we hoped it would be.

We can't find the right words because there aren't any. 

Or maybe the bottom line reality of our situation is shown to us via information/a conversation/ a sibling or transportation issue - and it hurts. Why weren't we braver when we needed to be? Why weren't we faster off the starting block? Why isn't anyone helping us? How did we get into this mess in the first place?

Keep in mind this moment - the Moon is Void off a trine to transformative Pluto. How do we want this thing to turn out? How do we want to feel? Let's use all this Virgo to make a plan (while we sit by the pool drinking our iced coffee, I hope).

Remember what the Moon has done in the last 24 hours the other planets are going to do over the next few weeks. If your Friday was especially stressful this might be the time (especially Sunday when Venus and the Moon are interacting with sober Saturn) to come up with a serious and practical game plan for September.

New Moon in Virgo | August 30, 2019 - a practical magic, one foot in front of the other, surprises, do it differently this time, make a move, seal the deal, prioritize health, that back burner thing we have been waiting on is moved to the front burner, time for a detox

On Friday, August 30th at 6:37AM EDT the Virgo Moon meets the Virgo Sun at 6 degrees giving us this month's New Moon. September is a HUGE month and here is our chance, right out of the gates, to set some intentions for how we would like this all to go.

Let's unpack the chart!

We can see a BIG pile-up of planets in earthy Virgo between 2 and 11 degrees with the Sun/Moon sandwiched in the middle. Six planets in earth signs, folks!

Earth is the new black and we can feel this in the collective headlines and in our hearts and heads now.

The New Moon is a time when the skies are dark. It is the time of beginning. The seed goes into the ground. The sperm goes into the egg. The nail meets the wood. The thought meets the paper. You get the idea. And you may actually have an idea now (or new information may come in, seeing something we didn't see before) because Mercury - the planet of ideas and the ruler of Virgo and so the ruler of this New Moon is moving toward a trine with the planet that rules genius (Uranus) on Sunday!

Virgo encourages us to prioritize our health, to value quality over quantity, to be of service to others (not at our own expense though and especially not at the expense of our health), to care for our pets, to take care of the day to day things that make our life our life. It also rules co-workers, employees, our daily activities and our work.

Virgo is the first sign that thinks about 'other people'. We spend the first five signs of the zodiac focused on ourselves - forming an identity, expressing who we are, yada yada. And then in just ONE SIGN we transition toward relating to other people.

That's why it feels like such a pressure cooker!

We move from "how can I be special?" (Leo) to "how can I be useful?". That's a pretty hard right turn! 

The best use of this New Moon energy is to do our Virgo this month!

Focus on the details. Use commonsense. Do one thing at a time. Do your best. Know that it won't be perfect. Nothing in nature is perfect. Know that perfect isn't the point. 

We might have to respond to something that we can't make 100% better (that inconjunct to Chiron) or stand up for ourselves or do something on our own now that isn't totally comfortable. We might be starting/working with something that isn't exactly the way we hoped it would be.

The trine to Uranus speaks of something unexpected.

SURPRISE! We thought this was going one way and now here's something else.

Trines are smooth flows of energy, so this isn't about chaos, but it is about CHANGE. Virgo likes a nice, solid plan, but Uranus here introduces a shot of something else, something INNOVATING. It's a couple small steps in a new direction or a big step broken down into small manageable pieces.

Many people could be dealing with health challenges. Some tweaks in a new, improved direction can create big changes down the line. Virgo also rules our work, co-workers, our pets, our day-to-day life - as well as the theme of your natal Virgo house. Here's a place to FOCUS your attention. What needs to change?

Every detail is going to matter now.

I am not saying this to make all of us crazy.

But we need to know this going in.

There is the potential here to birth something significant, but Virgo rules work, so we know there is going to be work. Effort. And the work is going to have to be good (not perfect, but good). There isn't going to be a whole lot of middle ground.

It's time to make it real or get rid of it! 

In my own life, we are closing up hub's shop this month now that our landlord has sold the building. In my chart Virgo rules my 10th house (career, goals, business, work in the world) and Uranus is bringing change from my Taurus house (7th house of partners). So, dealing with spouse's career changes and changes to our public life, as local business owners, makes sense. Hub's chart has Virgo ruling his 1st house (himself) and Uranus bringing change from his 8th house (other people's resources, the stuff he has merged with other people). This is a big New Moon for him conjunct his natal Pluto (transformation, life/death) and he feels it. September is our clean out month for the building. The start of a new life for him, maybe without this business after 18 years (exactly to the day). Bittersweet and also slightly terrifying ...

The trine from Uranus makes me think of Earth changes - weather situations, climate change, the health of the planet as well as the health of our personal resources, what we value and hold dear.

Mercury (Virgo's ruler and so the ruler of this New Moon, and the co-ruler is likely Chiron) is strong in her/his home sign and conjunct Juno - this New Moon is focused on our relationships and commitments. Talking with other people and communicating about partnerships, relationships, commitments. Signing contracts. Doing a deal. Maybe something that comes in suddenly. With Jupiter and Neptune approaching another exact square maybe it takes all these planets in Earth signs to get our heads out of the clouds!

With Mars and Venus both conjunct the Sun/Moon - we are on the same page with ourselves. Venus isn't that happy in Virgo, so everything now will NOT be totally to her/our liking.

Bottom line - we just need to do our Virgo.

One foot in front of the other. Go over the details. Be precise. Exact. Make it smaller. Prioritize. Organize. Say what you really want then effort toward that. Be productive. This could be about something we have previously put on the back burner. Stuff we were kind of 'waiting it out' with and now we could be glad we waited. September offers us focus and quick change and stabilizing support ahead through those applying Capricorn trines.

It's go time (a great New Moon for back to school). Let's not get so caught up in things having to be a certain way that we don't get moving/started. Also let's not sell ourselves short or over-extend ourselves. Keep in mind Uranus through Taurus over the net few years is showing us what we really value and the ways our self-esteem (how we value ourselves) is connected to our pocketbooks and bank accounts.

This New Moon is a practical, fresh start with an emphasis on both the practical and the fresh.

Now all these Virgo planets (that have us focused on the details and day-to-day), as they continue to move through Virgo, are going to start interacting with the other planets (longer term outcomes/situations). The Moon (fastest moving) will get there within a  few hours, the other planets within days -

first up will be a trine to stabilizing Saturn. Here is clarity around a new commitment. Emotional security. Maybe rewards. Then a trine to the South Node (endings) at the same time squaring Jupiter (overwhelm/something feels too big to get done or maybe it expands too fast, too soon or it feels bigger than it really is - this could also be us questioning that Saturnian commitment - should we stick with it or go broader/bigger/have faith in something better?). Then an opposition to Neptune (release, rest, let go and let God). So, all those New Moon Virgo planets are going to move through these energies over the next few weeks.

Finally the planets will all trine (brakes off) transformational Pluto. Power/influence. Intimacy. Intensity. Merged money/resources/bodies. How badly do we want it? Who's in charge? Are we still standing? Yes!!

By mid-September when we get to the Sun trining Pluto, Saturn stationing direct and the Full Moon in Pisces - the energies will be huge and then we will all need a break (plus mini-breaks over the next couple weeks as the planets oppose Neptune). By the time Pluto stations direct in October (the death that was postponed/the mess that needed to be cleaned up) - we will be through it or ready for it. If anyone can ever be ready for Pluto!

For now it is important to keep plowing ahead while not working ourselves to death! We can get alot done over the next month.

In Virgo, health issues ALWAYS take precedence and can surface now.

I have been having (once again) neck/shoulder/arm/hand stuff and know it is the time to try something else and incorporate changes into my day-to-day life that I can continue once I get over this flare-up. I am thinking about recording these posts - the typing is uber challenging right now. Also our new pup Rosie has been diagnosed with an old, untreated femur fracture (from before we received her) and we are deciding our best options with this. Virgo is the sign of service and rules the stuff that is within our care - our physical bodies/health, our pets, our work. All this stuff make sense. It can feel overwhelming, but the beauty of astrology is we can look a bit ahead and see all the support and the good stuff that is coming. And it is!

New Moon Guidelines

Set your intentions and make your affirmations for Virgo themes (or your natal Virgo house theme!) for the best outcomes - health, quality over quantity, service to others, attention to details, work, co-workers, employees, day to day activities, cleaning, organizing, pets.

INTENTION TIPS: Let the earth guide you this month, plant your feet firmly on the ground, clear your head, write what your physical self, grounded by the earth, wants - not what you think you should write (do you see any air in this New Moon chart? no, there isn't any!). Write your intentions down by hand in script on a blank piece of paper, speak the words out loud, maybe burn the paper and give the ashes back to the earth - release your attention from these things knowing your intention is known.

Life has heard you. Know these things are already yours.  

What do you do next?

Hug a tree. That tree in your backyard is talking to that tree in my backyard and they are both talking to that tree in the Amazon - they need us.

Today's Astrology Forecast | August 29, 2019 - another long void moon, out of sorts, a light is shone on something different, finshing up what we've resisted, one step at a time, words matter, details matter, what's the matter?

https://www.deviantart.com/anyaanti/art/Coloring-529113664


The balsamic Moon, now at the end of fiery Leo, went void at 8:07PM EDT last night and stays void until tonight when she moves into practical Virgo at 7:57PM EDT leading us toward tomorrow morning's New Moon. She hooks up with ruler Mercury at 10:22PM EDT, putting our emotions and our head on the same page tonight.

A long dark void Moon in Leo can be uncomfortable. 

We could feel restless/lethargic today with the energies supporting twists and turns and do-overs. Practiced work is best or some last minute summer fun.

Mercury joined the Virgo party while we slept last night.

Now, all the personal planets are in Virgo (plus the Moon starting tonight!). Mercury (communication, thinking, ideas, local neighborhood, siblings, transportation, tech) is happy to be home to Virgo - a sign she/he rules.

In Virgo he will be moving fast, she is only in Virgo until September 14th, so we need to make the most of this!

In Virgo, our thinking, writing and communication will be more practical and commonsense. We will be all about the details. Nothing gets by Mercury in Virgo.  But lots of things get dismissed. If it's not real, if it doesn't work - it's gone. This is an excellent transit for organization, cleaning, paperwork, taking care of our health, the ins and outs of our work and daily routine, our pets. We will see all the little problems, but still need to avoid nitpicking. With so many planets in Virgo it may be hard to see the forest for the trees - so we look at the trees now. The details. One thing at a time. Lists are good. Ideas and solutions can pop right into our head (especially around the time Mercury trines Uranus on Sunday).

Pay attention to your language - we want to be precise now. We want to honor Mercury. Think about what you are thinking about. Watch what you are watching. What you are reading, talking about, hearing - will matter now. Notice how you verbally get in your own way - use unnecessary negative words (like saying something "isn't bad" when you mean it is good), double speak, babble, gas-lighting, lies. Avoid that "sorry" thing some people say moving through life. We aren't really sorry anyway right - so why are we saying it. Words are powerful. They are one of the most powerful tools we have to move through life on planet Earth - let's not hold ourselves back by tossing around stuff we don't mean/don't want to have/be.

Mercury immediately sextiles Pallas in Scorpio. The opportunity (sextile) comes by getting to the bottom of something. Intimacy. Merging resources and ideas. Our talk can't be superficial. This could get uncomfortable (maybe a conversation/plan around money, life/death issues, sex/reproduction, taxes/insurance, stuff we don't always like to talk about), let it get uncomfortable - talk about it anyway. We are going deep and staying practical. We have mega access to common sense/cents now. This is good energy for research. Take one thing and really go deep with it.

Hot off yesterday's exact Mars/Uranus trine (this is the step by step change we have been talking about all week) we have the Sun trining Uranus now.  Uranus change can mean chaos and disorder, but this time we can move smoothly with the changes if we stay practical and meet challenges one thing at a time. Excellent energy for changing health habits. Do it now. With Uranus retrograde we might feel pulled to change course and move back in an old direction - let's stay moving forward. The grass in our backyard is dead. The grass is greener over there. Small changes create HUGE shifts this week.

The Sun is inconjunct Chiron now - some things just can't be fixed. We know this already.

The trines to future-focused Uranus say 'try something else'.

The Moon is balsamic - a time for rest and reflection. Don't push too hard now. If there is something you have resisted wrapping up - get it wrapped. Tomorrow is a brand new day!

Back tonight with the big New Moon post - you will love this one!

Today's Astrology Forecast | August 27, 2019 - long void moon, practiced and practical work, expect some do-overs, when faith is healing, getting our ducks in a row, change is good

https://www.deviantart.com/frozen-photo/art/--463582442


The Moon in Cancer went void off an opposition to Pluto at 4:55AM EDT.

In her home sign of Cancer, she continues to perform, but will be void until 7:53PM EDT. Good for deep emotional healing, research, financial organization, journaling, a focus on those home/family/real estate situations - good for routine, go with the flow. We can get alot done during void moons, but expect some do-overs. Expect some wonk. The void could allow us some time to process any big changes we have going on.

Chiron (in Aries) is trining Ceres (in Sagittarius).

This is a repeating aspect that takes us back to early June - maybe something from that time is back on the table. Our faith in a better future is healing. The way something went in the past doesn't have to be the way it goes now. Remember Chiron in Aries is activating our masculine wounding (doing it all alone, having to push through and be born, having to stand up for ourselves, having to fight), now this energy is smoothly working with Ceres (a mothering issue or issue involving a child or important pet or a season of life issue or issue around something that feels outside our control) - when Ceres was grieving the loss of her daughter she was FURIOUS. And Chiron in Aries is about getting in touch with anger issues, so we could be dealing with something like this. This could also be us NOT allowing the fear that we can't do something, because we aren't supported, to stop us. Some times we do have to do/start things alone.

BIGGER PICTURE - we have a stellium of planets in Virgo now bringing a kind of stability and practicality to whatever we have going on.

We need to do this and then we need to do that.

It could have us focused on a health matter, service to others, a work situation, an organization project or a situation with a pet. This might sound random - but Virgo is really about our daily activities, the things we have to care for everyday. We are being deliberate, discerning and focused on the details. 

We've just been through a month of fiery Leo and this stellium takes everything down a notch.

Maybe the situation isn't resolved (or maybe it is) but we are facing up to it in a different way. We are getting a handle on it. We know where we stand. We can make plans and take action.

Now- almost as soon as we get all these energies in Virgo wanting us to get our ducks in a row the Virgo planets start interacting with change-maker Uranus (in Taurus).

Surprise!

Changes happen quickly and unexpectedly. Breakthroughs.

Uranus is retrograde, so this might not be a totally new thing, but maybe now we see the changes and HERE THEY ARE.

The trines speak of POSITIVE changes. Forward leaning. Evolution. Innovation.

This week's trines to Uranus will shake up any stagnant energies in our Virgo house (so the collective themes mentioned above and also the theme of our natal Virgo house). 

So, this week tosses some changes at us that lead to breakthroughs. Change is good. Unusual people can come into our lives now. New healers. Fresh ideas and insights. Money changes hands. Relationships become more practical and reliable. New deals are sealed. Contracts signed. These are changes we will WELCOME.

These are Earth signs - this is physical stuff. Small changes with our daily activities (and with our physical self) can make BIG changes in our life (and health) over time. Uranus will speed things up and make everything happen faster.

Far out ideas come down to earth and become real things under these skies.

We have a New Moon in Virgo at the end of this week, kicking off all these energies and then in two weeks we have the Full Moon in Pisces (mid-September is BIG - we get to clearly see what this year is about) after which we will want to rest/take a breather/have some peace - plan some downtime after mid-September.

Between now and then we have work to do.

For now an appreciation of BOTH fast change and slow and steady progress - is helpful.

Today's Astrology Forecast | August 26, 2019 - small moves that create big changes, innovating with love and money, attracted to something else, hitting the wall again, the plot thickens

https://www.deviantart.com/anyaanti/art/Owl-401005618


The Moon is in her home sign of Cancer today - we are nurtured through home, family, mom and apple pie. By 4:37AM EDT she will have sextiled Venus, Mars and Uranus. She has her monthly opposition to Saturn (authority/boundary issue) at 5:45PM EDT and trines Neptune at 11:27PM EDT.

Venus (in Virgo) trines a retrograde Uranus (in Taurus) at 6 degrees. Mercury squares Vesta. Pallas moves into the deep, dark water of Scorpio (until early November).

Venus/Uranus indicates change with our money, love, self-esteem, resources, values, women or beauty. Expect the unexpected this week. Doing something differently pays off. We are leaning into the future. Be out and about. Meet new people.

Venus is in Virgo and wants organization and practicality. Uranus in Taurus (Venus's sign, but I see Taurus at least co-ruled by Ceres) is showing us the ways our self-esteem is connected to our pocketbook/to our resources/to the things we can attract based on how loved and valued WE feel.

Focus on the small things now. Small changes. Take action.

What isn't working within your relationships? With your finances? With your health or work? With your pets or daily activities? What change is needed? Small changes can move us quickly forward now.

Earth trines allow things (that are already lined up on another plane) to happen. The brakes are off. Impediments removed. Uranus speeds this whole thing up and adds innovation and liberation. Virgo makes small things into big things (which can be good, but not always, right?).

Small problems/mistakes can create big issues and then sometimes we just put up with them/learn to live with them. We think the thing that needs to be fixed is some big thing, and maybe it is, but some tiny step in a new direction makes big changes possible. The error (maybe in our thinking) that started the ball rolling was tiny.

The solution can start tiny, too.

(Think about when you put together an Ikea bookcase and maybe early on you notice some peg is not quite in there right or screw not exactly straight. Maybe it doesn't seem to matter so you keep working. Maybe you don't even notice it because you are so focused on all the things this bookcase will hold and how nice it will look next to your new red sofa. Then before you know it, you are stuck. Something isn't fitting. The whole thing is crooked. Or maybe you manage to get it put together, but it's not quite right and so you can never really trust it with the potted plants you bought it for in the first place. Sure it would have been easier if you had fixed that faulty peg or crooked screw three hours ago, or three years or thirty years but you didn't and here you are. We can only be here now. So what do we do now? Are we the kind of person who shrugs and puts up with it, and some things are not so important and a shrug is a good thing and maybe this bookcase is a shrug. But maybe it gives us a pit in your stomach every time we see our plants all scrunched up on that table and we need to fix this. One screw at a time.)

Pallas into complicated Scorpio changes our strategy. We can see the stuff that was covered up all pretty when she was in lovely Libra - like that crooked bookshelf, except the stuff that is unbalanced may be more important than a bookshelf. To solve problems we are going to need to look under the hood. We are going to have to delve into the details and get our hands dirty and know things more intimately.

With Pallas out of Libra there goes our air (thinking)! And with Mercury (at the end of fiery Leo and hurrying to get home to Virgo) at odds with Vesta (what we hold dear) - let's be careful we don't say the wrong thing and damage something we care about. Stay intentional. Less talk. More action.

Avoid over-thinking today.

The Moon opposing Saturn could add stress around a home, family, real estate, home business, mothering, career, goals, authority situation. Depending on what else we have going on this could overshadow the good energy, so let's not let that happen. Something is falling into place here for all of us. Know THAT.

Trust your instincts. The Moon is waning - what can you release? What needs to be finished up?

Astrology Forecast for Creatives | Week of August 26, 2019 - change is good, new ways to make money, new love, changing the conversation, sudden insights, new solutions, something stabilizes, a new way forward

https://www.deviantart.com/sea-of-ice/art/a-watershed-410075345


Here's some of the aspects for the week ahead:

MONDAY - Venus trines Uranus
WEDNESDAY - Mars trines Uranus
THURSDAY - Mercury into Virgo (now ALL the personal planets are in Virgo), Sun trines Uranus
FRIDAY - New Moon in Virgo (6 degrees)
SUNDAY - Mercury trines Uranus, Venus trines Saturn

Look at all those trines (brakes off) - something has to fall into place for everyone this week!

MONDAY and WEDNESDAY (in play all week really) we have Venus (our love, money, resources, values, self-esteem, women) and Mars (action, passion, what we do to get what we want, initiative, anger, men) moving very closely together through practical and grounded Virgo now trining (brakes off) change-maker Uranus (in Taurus, so answering to Venus).

CHANGE is the buzzword this week, and it's the kind of change that moves us step-by-step toward something BETTER.

This isn't the tornado that lands us on our ass in a field somewhere. Promise.

It's the time to try something NEW. We are attracted to unusual people and things now. Our values are changing. We want different things. We have the courage to try new things.

Get out and meet new people. Moves with money could pay off now. Action will lead to liberation.

Improved health, advancements with our work, with our daily activities, our pets - all of this is possible - it will take action and movement on our part though, we don't want to be idle this week, unless this idleness is within some healthy space of "taking care of ourselves", since Virgo rules our health - trines ALLOW things to happen and with Uranus this active now, change is good!

It could also be a bit anxiety-producing as Virgo increases the pressure to do things "right". If you feel a tension build-up TAKE A BREAK. There is nothing perfect about perfect. Ask for help if you need it.

What are the themes of your 6 degree Virgo and Taurus houses? How can they work together now? What can you do to get the most from these energies?

On THURSDAY - now the Sun trines Uranus - this is POSITIVE CHANGE. A light is thrown on something different. Innovation. Time to take advantage of unusual/unique opportunities. Try something else. Uranus starts a new cycle with the Sun - start something different!

Mercury (communication, thinking, ideas, local neighborhood, siblings, transportation) joins the other inner planets in Virgo. She/he is quite happy to be back in Virgo - a sign he rules.

In Virgo, our thinking, writing and communication will be more practical and commonsense. We will be all about the details. Nothing gets by Mercury in Virgo. But lots of things get dismissed. If it's not real, if it doesn't work - it's gone.

This is an excellent transit (Mercury will be in Virgo until September 14th) for organization, cleaning, paperwork, working on the tedious trivia we have overlooked during Mercury's days in star-studded Leo.

The curtain gets drawn, the crowds go home, the star of the stage (us!) hones his craft without an audience, without applause. This is the work that gets done right because it needs to be done right. This is also excellent service energy - for taking care of our health, for taking care of other people, for taking care of our animals.

The Virgo house in your natal chart gets a visit from active Mercury - this is where the solutions will be. This is where we can drill down the details and become more efficient.

This is where we will be walking our talk.

The shadow side of Mercury during this transit is that we can't always see the forest for the trees. We might get so caught up in the details the big picture gets away from us. We could forget/lose sight of why we are doing the thing we are doing in the first place. Or we get so caught up in something being so perfect, that it never gets finished. Or maybe we pare something down so much that in the end we end up with nothing .... keep an eye (yes, we need three eyes now!) out for this stuff.

On FRIDAY we have a super-powerful New Moon in Virgo that encompasses all these energies and propels us through the next two weeks as the inner planets move through some powerful and supportive trines to Saturn and Pluto. I am loving this Moon. Expect a post!

On SUNDAY - Mercury trines Uranus - yes he/she is that quick! New ideas. Fast thinking. Shocking, unexpected news. Sudden insights. Maybe our siblings surprise us. Our words (and the words of other people) can be erratic, unexpected and spontaneous. Our brains and tongues will be restless.

The information we need or our next great idea could literally drop right into our lap.

AND THEN we have to do SOMETHING WITH IT. Remember this is Virgo, we don't have to do some huge something with it. We get to the huge something by working the step-by-step process.

New solutions come in now. To get the most out of this transit - talk to different people. Change the conversation.

On the same day, Venus trines Saturn. Here is our money/love/resources getting stabilized. Maybe the work we have previously done pays off now. Good for dealing with authority. Investing for the long-haul. Here is where facing reality pays off.

We could make a commitment (Saturn) within a relationship (Venus) now. We could make a commitment with our money. We could make a commitment to valuing ourselves. We could commit to the hard work of being more beautiful (ie Venusian) or birthing something beautiful. We could beautify (Venus) our career (Saturn). This would be a great time for cosmetic changes within a business. Spruce ups now will pay off over time.

What a week!

We will flesh the whole thing out daily when we factor in the Moons, which other than some challenges on Tuesday (with authority/limits, etc) and Friday (with escape or rose-colored glasses), look pretty good, too.

This week is a HUGE kick off to what will be a very productive Virgo season. Don't let it stress you out - change is good and we are easing into it!
