Despite this month’s emphasis on Virgo’s need for control, the Full Moon in Pisces on the 20th reminds us that sometimes it’s better to just go with the flow. This is an especially important lesson to sit with once Libra Season begins on the 22nd—happy birthday to our balanced and passionate babes. Libras are true icons of their craft, from Naomi Watts to Bruce Springsteen to Serena Williams.

The month concludes with communication planet Mercury stationing retrograde in Libra on the 27th, which kicks off the more challenging astrology that’s waiting for us in October. If we pull ourselves together now, we won’t be totally thrown off course when some unsettling truths reveal themselves later in the season.

Oh, Libra, you’re feeling bold and beautiful as the month begins with your ruling planet Venus finishing up her annual visit to your sign. The new moon in Virgo on the 6th falls in your unconscious sector and is a particularly auspicious time for you to either retreat to work on a creative project or invite your crush to a cabin in the woods. Your health is on your mind constantly these days so make a plan to keep up the good habits you’ve been building since Virgo season began. Once Venus enters Scorpio on the 10th, things get a bit spicier in both your love life and with your finances. Then the full moon in Pisces on the 20th allows you to lean into a more spacious daily routine. You don’t always have to hustle to get what you want.

The new moon in Virgo on the 6th comes as a lovely reminder that connection comes easier than you think. You haven’t been forgotten! On the 10th, Venus moves into your sign, and after a period of feeling a bit less than, now everyone’s looking when you walk down the street. Once Mars shifts into Libra on the 14th though, you want to retreat and keep things private. For now, focus on what you can clean up behind the scenes.

Virgo season always brings a major boon to your career. As the month begins, it feels like everyone is looking to you for advice.

Once Libra season begins on the 22nd, you start prioritizing your social life over your achievements at work. Whether virtual or IRL, it’s time to get the party started.

Virgo season is for harvesting the fruits of our collective labor and preserving what we can’t use now for the long, cold winter. Virgo falls in the part of your chart that has to do with shared resources, debts, and other folks’ money.
