VIRGO August 23rd - September 21st

Leo energy at work relates to your solar 12^th house of privacy and the need to commune with yourself. It is a time when you will appreciate some retreat and quietness, notably for all of you between the 8^th and 23^rd. Karmic payments may be due to others now too. After the 22^nd however, many of you will find that suddenly you want a place in the sun again, even in your modest often-self effacing way.

Before the 16^th, when Venus is in your sign , all born after September 3^rd have their charms very much shining, so despite a desire for some quiet, others will be paying you much attention and finances are looking positive. Indeed after the 16^th many of you will be putting much effort into securing a financial situation.

Before the 28^th, all born after September 4^th will also have significant leadership skills and friendships are stimulating, courtesy of Mars in compatible Cancer. You will need to divide your time between retreat and being proactive for others.

A quiet intelligent luck is now surrounding those born August 30^th to September 7^th. Jupiter is giving his protection and to your life and allowing you to grab opportunities, and again friends can be invaluable.  Being graced by Saturn as well as Jupiter many of you are enjoying a sense of real balance of practicality, idealism and progress.

Neptune however, continues to directly oppose those born August 26^th to 29^th. This is a time to be very aware that other people can be very seductive and alluring, possibly without real gravitas or substance. Don’t be cynical, but check the small print. Sensitivity to others and compassion knows no bounds. Just don’t get taken advantage of. Don’t allow people to take advantage of your practical service orientation, without pulling their weight .

Pluto is also directly regenerating the energies of those born round September 2^nd. Your creative, romantic, fertile and fun loving side is full on, confident and potent.
