Venus enters Virgo on September 4th at 11:05 pm CDT and will stay here until September 29th. This will be a tricky Venus transit as Venus’ ruler, Mercury, will station retrograde on September 9th, which means our relationships may begin to backpedal or hit some bumps. We may become over-critical of where things stand, and it will be crucial for us not to get lost in a maze of analysis or judgment.
Mercury Enters Libra
Mercury enters Libra on August 25th at exactly 8:03 pm CDT and will stay here until September 23rd when it re-enters Virgo due to an upcoming retrograde. Mercury, the planet that rules our minds and communication style, will be direct in Libra for only two weeks, which means initiate any important projects now before matters get complicated.
Sun Enters Virgo
The Sun enters Virgo on August 22nd at exactly 10:16 pm CDT and will stay here until September 22nd. This Virgo season will be a little different than usual because Mercury, the Sun’s ruler, will retrograde in Libra starting September 9th. Whatever important decisions we’d like to make, we should make them soon.
Mars Enters Gemini
Mars enters Gemini on August 20th at exactly 2:56 am CDT and will stay here for an incredible seven months due to an upcoming Mars retrograde. I can’t stress enough how impactful and, quite honestly, exhausting the next seven months will be. Gemini energy, while lighthearted, can be chaotic, so we must maintain a strong core; otherwise, we may find ourselves shaken and tossed around in ways we don’t appreciate.
Full Moon in Aquarius
Venus Enters Leo
Venus enters Leo on August 11th at exactly 1:30 pm CDT and will stay here until September 4th. This transit encourages us to get back in touch with our own aesthetic - what we find beautiful and attractive. We are also ready for our expressions of love to get bigger and bolder, as we love ourselves and others more. It’s time to bring whatever romantic feelings or values you've kept in the dark into the light.
Mercury Enters Virgo
Mercury enters Virgo on August 4th at exactly 1:58 am CDT and will stay here until August 25th. Mercury is back in one of its home signs where it is most comfortable, but that will mean our minds will be more active than usual. We all have a unique relationship with our minds, so for some of us, this will be a very productive time, but others may find themselves overwhelmed and constantly trying to interpret information. Let’s make sure to take breaks and get out of our heads occasionally.
