On the 18th, communication planet Mercury forms a supportive sextile with decisive Mars encouraging initiative and definition. Then the sun enters Virgo on the 22nd, giving us the urge to get grounded or make a plan. But on the 23rd, there’s a new moon in Virgo that happens in a hard aspect to rebellion planet Uranus. Something unexpected is in store as we shift into Virgo season that will continue to unfold throughout September when we’re once again back to eclipses.

(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)
