YOUR STARS

Flavour of the Times - As ever, September brings comeuppance! Agriculturally, the quality of the harvest (Virgo rules the harvest) is determined by the type of summer we have had. In all sorts of symbolic ways, we reap what we have sown in the spring and summer. It’s the time for sifting the wheat from the chaff, getting organised, going back to work, starting the new term. Mars will accent this for a while early this month by probably increasing stress levels as you suddenly realise quite how much needs doing!

VIRGO

August 24 – September 23 Virgo – the maker of lists! Yours is likely to be a long one too as your analytic mind intuitively knows what needs to be done and how to prioritise the most important tasks. Mars adds energy to this so you will either be in your element or getting stressed out as you start to recognise just how disorganised things have got during the summer. LIBRA

September 24 – October 23 Some people may insist on making mountains out of molehills now as Jupiter is generally ‘bigging things up’ for you and, potentially making problems appear much worse than they are. I wouldn’t spend too much time on this and don’t let it divert you from what you think are the most important priorities for the approaching autumn. SCORPIO

October 24 – November 22 Think volcanoes coming out of the sea and how they change the very geography of the land where you are. That’s the symbolism as Uranus continues to come up at you from deep down underground. You might consider that the volcanic reactions are actually coming from deep inside YOU. They could be trying to show you what needs to fundamentally change in your life. SAGITTARIUS

November 23 – December 22 Lots of action too close to home might actually be starting to make you feel claustrophobic – like you definitely need to get away from it all. The new moon is a challenge this month because it wants you to deal with the kinds of details you really can’t be bothered with. This might not be the best time to just turn your back on it all as some things just have to be faced.

CAPRICORN

December 23 – January 20 It’s as if Pluto has been in your sign forever and it’s still revisiting aspects of your life you thought you had sorted out, but some things still don’t sit right. Pluto is like a tsunami – very slow but unstoppable once it gets going, so you have little choice but to go with it. You may be concluding you are on some sort of unknown journey but you’re not sure where to. AQUARIUS

January 21 – February 19 Saturn is supposed to be favoured in Aquarius but it may not feel like it these days. You might feel burdened, exhausted, heavy and depressed by the weight of it all. It is not as if things are actually all that bad but you can’t shake off the heaviness and get that lighter feeling back that you used to have. Stick with it and plod onwards: no other option, really. Hopefully it will bear fruit in the end. PISCES

February 20 – March 20 The new moon wants to bring some order into your life and just for once, you might grudgingly feel that it is right. You’ve been floating around for too long now and you may have lost the plot completely. Mars is around to give you some energy now so just take a look at how things are going and see if you can pin-point what needs to change. ARIES

March 21 – April 20 Maybe the wheels are falling off some parts of your life that you have been putting huge energy into? Maybe there has been some emotional or physical pain – either yours or someone close – that is really unsettling you. Either way, you should somehow find a way to slow down and gather your energies for what lies ahead.

THE ASTRO-GUIDE

TAURUS

April 21 – May 21 Maybe there are opportunities now to heal old wounds and stop wars either within yourself or within your family (particularly over children?). But you need to really try to see beyond the immediate problems and just take small practical steps in the right direction. Helpful opportunities to let go of past issues come around 10th of the month so don’t forget to take them. GEMINI

May 22 – June 21 Some people will want to pin you down and impose certain commitments this month, but you may come across as being evasive merely because there is so much of interest going on out there right now to put your energy into. Stay as flexible as you can but make sure you take your responsibilities seriously too. CANCER

June 22 – July 23 Time to focus in on what is most important to you as we head towards the autumn. You will be feeling more domestically inclined now, I expect, and there will be a lot to do. There could be some transformations at home now and there is probably some redecoration or building work to be done around your personal space. LEO

July 24 – August 23 Time to reflect on the blessings you have in this life, I suggest. If you have had good fortune this summer, celebrate it with someone close to you and consider how you can help all those out there who may be struggling with life at the moment. Leos are at their best when they shine and others benefit when they do so.

To really understand what this means for you on a personal level during 2022, I would recommend that you consider booking a comprehensive personal astrological consultation that is completely specific to you and your life.
