When the sun moves into Virgo, kicking off Virgo season on Thursday, August 22, you may feel called for a makeover, even if it’s just a small one. Explore different hair colors (blonde? dark chocolate bouclé?) or refresh your makeup. Prioritize getting enough sleep to avoid burnout. The next few weeks are also going to be pretty sexy. If you’re dating or hooking up with someone, prepare for sexcapades. If you’re in a long-term relationship or marriage, you may enjoy a resurgence of passion. And if you’re single but still looking to get off, go ahead and treat yourself to a sex toy (which, of course, you can use with your partner as well).
Another psychic moment comes when Ceres, the asteroid of nurturance, ends its retrograde in Capricorn and your heady 12th House on Monday, August 26. Pay attention to your gut around this time. If someone you encounter sets off your stranger danger alarm, trust it and get out of their way.
The following day, Tuesday, August 27, is super blessed. Your ruling planet, eccentric Uranus, trines (a favorable aspect) lush Venus, making it a lovely time for surprise but welcome news, in particular surrounding work or money. And the day after that, Wednesday, August 28, Mercury finally goes direct. Communication eases up, exes go back where they belong, and all-around malaise should be curtailed. Wrapping up the month, on Thursday, August 29, Venus transits your expansive 9th House, encouraging you to tackle a new project. What have you been wanting to do that kept getting pushed off your to-do list? Now is your chance to get it done. Enjoy, and we’ll see you in September.
