Past Entries for Virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22

An emotional undercurrent has been brewing for weeks and, if you’re not careful, an all-out war may begin. You have felt taken advantage of, put down and emotionally challenged, not all of which is circumstantial. Astrologically, many are being forced to deal with unhappiness that has been kept under wraps for years. One way to minimize these emotions is to focus on those things for which you are grateful. Make a list of things that bug you the most, sleep on it and then step back to see which ones are really worth mentioning. To add to these challenges, a favorite colleague or friend may also let you down. Cry if you need to; there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You are given your first break when a family member unexpectedly steps up to the plate to support you. Financial pressures are on the forefront of your mind. In most cases, however, you’re not worried about yourself; rather you’re worried about a key family member. You’re hoping that they don’t take you down with them. Animals and children play a positive role in your life. Find comfort and solace in this ever-changing week.

Your practical nature steps up front and center to wait on others. Enjoy this week’s ability to give back and to be of service. Close family members may be put out by not being at the top of your list for a change; simply smile and reward them. You may feel swamped with paperwork, especially with financial documents or contractual obligations. Set time aside to complete these tasks so that you don’t feel overwhelmed. Spiritual conversation opens the door to new attitudes and belief systems. Walk in another’s shoes before judging the experience as a waste of time. You may discover an untapped well within you. Another’s hypocrisy hits you hard late in the week; be calm and ask questions before making statements you might regret. Clean and check your jewelry, especially rings and estate valuables. A surprise phone call or an expedited service delivers happy, earlier-than-expected, news. A family member makes an effort to impress you; if you want the behavior to continue, be sure you acknowledge it. The weekend is joyful when out-of-state guests arrive for a much-awaited visit. Be present so that you don’t miss a moment of fun. 

Continue to use your keen instincts, with a dash of logic, as you spin into overdrive this week to get everything done. An upsetting event several weeks ago will finally be leaving the scenes this week just in time for the new celebration. You are on the threshold of new beginnings, such as a significant joint venture project, a new relationship, possibly involving a wedding or a move into a new home.  This new you that is about to give birth to this enterprise needs to slow down long enough to remember why you are doing it in the first place. It is also important to have a plan to nurture yourself along the way. In the Zodiac world, you tend to be a martyr and there’s no need to have this venture muddled by the past. State your needs up front and your expectations of others in order to create a win-win. The frenetic energy around you creates a bit of turbulence with electric currents. Expect to blow fuses, hairdryers and bulbs of all sorts. Take this inconvenience in stride and simply smile at your power. A male-dominated figure from your past, possibly a brother, father or husband looks for ways in which he can garner your attention. It may not be healthy – redirect the friction away from you by exhaling, taking a moment to breathe and then just listen. Great news prior to the weekend, wishes and dreams come true with a special someone delivering the news, making the entire ups and downs of the week bearable. The weekend delivers a long-lost love to your doorstep; it may be in the form of a pet. Just remember to be careful for what you ask for – your words are especially powerful this week!

Use the first few days to focus on work; it may be intense, but you’ll get a lot done. An irritation has you wanting a complete overhaul of the judicial system right about now, but that is not going to change the past. What’s done is done. Stay positive; you’ll get your due. A friend or close family member makes an unreasonable request of you; it’s OK to say no. Take the time to service your vehicle or to maintain your favorite mode of transportation; include the wheels on your carry-on luggage, to your bicycle or roller-blades to avoid any glitches. A major move is expected this week in your personal house of cards around a secret that you have purposefully kept hidden; now is the time to spill the beans. If you don’t, it’s likely that someone else will. You’re great at planning the big adventure for everyone else – put that creative genius to work to make the long holiday extra special and you won’t be disappointed! On Thursday, a romantic interlude may also set the stage for a fabulous weekend. Roll the dice and go for it! Enjoy the spontaneity of life!

Continue to remain upbeat and optimistic that this too shall pass. The trials that you seem to be going through have reached a head and this week the clouds are beginning to part and the silver lining will be revealed. Favorable outcomes can be expected over any trials or delay of funds coming your way. Organize your environment (desk, drawers, files, cupboards, closets, etc.) to assist in grounding you in this new energy of clarity and determination. Someone points out an easily correctable past financial error you have made. Go easy on yourself; it can happen to anyone. Spend time in a garden reworking the earth or plant flowers in your favorite pot to beautify your environment. A secret admirer may get up the courage to display affection towards you this week; be gracious and comfortable with the accolades. Romance is near perfect over the weekend with work-related pressures behind you. Travel abroad is also presented as a possibility. You should consider going — it’ll be good for your soul! Embrace your sensitivity.

Temptations are seen everywhere this week. There seems to be an underlying current that has you losing your footing. It’s time to address the flow of emotions that has you possibly cheating on your diet, financial records or partners. Take time to get clear as to why you are being inauthentic with those around you. Your inner turmoil stems from a feeling of lack, especially as we approach the frenetic energies of the full moon on the 18th and the beginning of Mercury’s return to forward motion on the 19th. To counterbalance yourself, try an honest conversation with those who have been involved in your upset, but it would be best to wait for that until after the 23rd. In the interim stay quiet, positive and agreeable. A frequent flyer guest may be coming back for more. Feel free to decline and say "no thank you" without the guilt for a change. New accolades come your way for a job well done; you may be surprised at the source! Exciting news appears prior to the weekend that boosts your spirits and raises your potential for the year. The weekend speaks volumes when a trusted friend may betray you by sharing a sensitive secret. Be sure to nip it in the bud by pointing out that you shared that in confidence.
