Virgo (23 August-22 September)
Your ruler Mercury turned direct on the last day of February so it’s now back up to speed and there’s a chance to catch up on anything that got dropped last month.
The first area of your life to check out is your work, everyday routine and your health as these areas are ruled by Aquarius and this is where Mercury begins the month.
This feels positive for you and it may take only one key conversation to help your situation and move you forward whether at work or with a health-related matter. When Mercury turns direct it’s the equivalent of a green light, you hear the news you’ve been waiting for or your find out relevant information which can be of benefit to you.
The first half of March is a great month for job-hunting or sorting out any tricky matters at your place of work. Think second time lucky and go back to an old contact or try again for a job which you didn’t get the first time around. This may be something or someone you first encountered in January of this year. Mercury is reopening the lines of communication and making things smoother for you.
If you’re out of work or unemployed, this is a good period to find volunteer work or to offer your services free of charge. As long as this is only a temporary arrangement, you’ll feel better for keeping busy and gaining new skills in the process.
It’s also important to note that Mars, the action planet, turns retrograde in the sign of Libra ruling your personal finances on the 1st. Mars remains on go slow until May 20th so being assertive isn’t necessarily going to help you with regard to money now. In fact, you may need to adopt a new approach to money matters. Mars retrograde feels more like backing off or letting things be rather than trying to push things through.
Also when Mars is on go slow, this turns your attention inward so this is the perfect time to work on your money mindset, read a self-help book or attend a wealth course. Then when Mars turns direct in two months time, you can put what you’ve learned into practise and hopefully reap your rewards.
It is, however, important for you to be thorough with regard to finances and not leave any loose ends or matters unresolved. If you know you have a potential fight on your hands with regard to a cash matter, sort it out this month as best you can rather than wait until April when the planets aren’t on your side.
On the 20th, the Sun moves into the sign of Aries ruling joint finances and on the 30th there’s a New Moon in Aries, and these are positive dates to sort out money that you share with another person or to deal with any financial institution. It’s also a good time to get expert advice if you know it could be valuable to you.
The best news this month, however, is with regard to love and 1-to-1 relationships. Mercury turned retrograde on the 6th February in your opposite sign of Pisces and on the 17th of this month, Mercury returns to this sign. This suggests the wheels of destiny moving in the right direction and in fact, you may not have to wait until mid-March for your fortunes to improve greatly with regard to love.
The Sun is in Pisces as March begins and on the 1st, there’s not only a New Moon in Pisces and your opposite sign but a glorious Sun-Jupiter trine in the heavens. This looks like a proposal for some or for others meeting the man/woman of your dreams.
In fact, a lot of the astrology for you in March is about getting relationships right whatever that means for you, whether it’s about breaking free or declaring your love. The Full Moon on the weekend of the 15th/16th is another outstanding event as it cuts across the Virgo/Pisces axis of your horoscope. Full Moons are deeply emotional and this one combines what you want with what you need. It’s a brilliant weekend for love and relationships and finding happiness with that someone special.
If love is out of the equation for you this month, then remember that Pisces rules all your key 1-to-1 relationships so it may not be a personal triumph but a professional win. Finding someone who’s perfect for you, whether a business partner, a personal trainer, an artist or whoever it might be who you’re seeking in life.
Take note also on or around the 26th when your ruler Mercury is in trine aspect to lucky Jupiter. This is brilliant for love and relationships and good news for friendships too. Basically, it’s about making connections and enjoying those people who are in your life, whether a lover, your children, your friends or your family. This is where deep and fulfilling emotional satisfaction lies so don’t keep yourself to yourself this month but make the most of the people in your life.
