VIRGO August 23rd - September 21st

Keep calm and carry on is a phrase that many of us may put in operation this month as the world acknowledges significant shifts. Fortunately for your sign you are likely to be observers.

This can be a sociable month for you all as the Sun is in your solar 11^th house of friendships and goals, and from the 2^nd many of you may feel that professional blocks are somehow remedied, and after the 13^th, communications with others are easy and productive.

Your charms can benefit you professionally before the 18^th and after that date for all born between August 29^th and September 9^th, warmth, friendship and romance can lighten life.

Before the 26^th energy is likely to be expended in finding financial security and boosting your financial potential and after the 26^th all born up to August 28^th will feel a surge in their intellectual vigour and physical energy, which is positively manifested.

Jupiter’s move away from Cancer into Leo suggests that before the 16^th when Jupiter moves sign, all born after September 19^th should enjoy a final fling of growth, confidence, luck and benefits from friends and working in groups, and your charisma is shining. Travel is benefited.

However after the 16^th emphasis is on quiet protection and hidden good fortune over the next year. The year ahead prepares for a launch in August 2015.

From the 20^th many of you will find that communications become more effective. Your mind is more in control, and indeed if born around September 10^th self-discipline and patience is your strong point. You are feeling very grounded.

Neptune opposing the Suns of those born August 29th-September1st still brings for this group a danger of self deception or others being less than upfront in relationship areas. Try and see reality rather than projected wishful thinking, but compassion for others is strong.

Pluto brings power romantically and creatively to the elbows of all born September.3rd-6^th. Not for you the self-effacing shy Virgo archetype.
