WEEK OF September 5 – 1 1, 2022
A little quixotic romanticism goes a long way with your idealistic sign! So keep those rosy-hued aviators close at hand this week—and all month—once your cosmic custodian, vixen Venus, sails into Virgo and your fantasy-fueled twelfth house on Monday, September 5. Between now and September 29, you may not be interested in “cold hard reality,” and as long as you don’t blow off deadlines and obligations—or blow through red lights—this could actually be like fertilizer for your imagination. You’re quite comfortable in this dreamy, creative end of the spectrum, but you do want to keep at least half an eye peeled for red flags, which you might (willingly!) overlook in the context of something potentially toe-curling. Venus in your twelfth house is great for all kinds of spiritual and creative pursuits, but it can be like a funhouse mirror, distorting situations and preventing you from seeing people’s shadow side. This could leave you vulnerable to a player’s false flattery. Enjoy the heady rush of the sexy dynamic tension, but keep reminding yourself that this sweet-talker is still a living, breathing human, meaning they come with the full spectrum of gifts AND imperfections and insecurities. Coupled Libras will enjoy a dreamy few weeks together, but if there are issues brewing, don’t believe they can magically evaporate. For any relationship to go the distance, both of you are going to have to deal with that “cold hard reality” at some point!
Your usual powers of persuasion may be a bit off starting this Friday, when cosmic communicator Mercury shifts into retrograde—in your sign. This could leave you tongue-tied or, worse, muddle the message you so painstakingly crafted! For the first part of its pivot, it’ll reverse through your first house of self-expression (until September 23); after that, it’ll backflip into Virgo, joining Venus in your dreamy twelfth house. From then until October 2, you might do better rethinking and refining your talking points so that when October rolls around, you’re ready to take your show on the road. While Mercury is retrograde in Libra, think about ways you might polish your presentation and style, but rather than instantly enacting them, capture your ideas in a notebook or on a mood board. This is an excellent cycle for R-n-D, but pulling the metaphoric trigger could be disastrous if you do anything irrevocable.
Lending some valuable insight is Saturday’s Pisces full moon, the only one of the entire year. This powers up your sixth house of health, self-care and service, and could shift you straight into total body-mind-soul healing mode! Your compassionate sign is always quick to offer a helping hand to others, but how much SELF-nurturing do you do on a regular basis? This lunar light can shuffle your priorities and place the focus squarely on YOUR well-being. Pay attention to the fact that it lands in gentle water-sign Pisces. If you feel so inspired, skip the gym and move your exercise to a pool—or take a sensual dance class. Be proactive about any nagging health issues by getting regular bodywork or seeing a naturopath or an acupuncturist. Since the sixth house also rules organization and routines, this is a great time to clear out any clutter at Chateau Libra and get things in solid “back-to-school” order. When you’re not drowning in papers and “stuff,” your thinking is sharper, more focused and creative.
