Virgo
Born between: August 23rd - Sep 22nd
Dedicated and accomplished are the best ways to describe a Virgo as they have profound morals and are often initiative. However those born under the Virgo star sign need to take extra care to control their temper and be patient.
A potent connection in Pisces adds deep feeling and healing energy to your closest partnerships. Your significant other is sure to be on your side, and you will be feeling amorous too. Emotional and financial matters concern you more deeply than usual, with a powerful group of planets in your eighth house. Try to stay open to feedback in intimate discussions. Be sensitive to other people's reactions to what you're saying. It may just be a question of changing the tone rather than the content. Suitable colours are claret ash and antique parchment. Lucky numbers are 17 and 23.
The Trickster Mercury turns retrograde in your eighth house of sex, money and power, creating trouble for you over the coming three weeks. Travel could be problematic, so make sure you have plenty of time to get where you need to go. Matters of inheritance and insurance are delayed, so have patience. Just remember that this too shall pass! Read more on Mercury retrograde! Beneficial colours are red wine and polished bronze. Lucky numbers are 8 and 26.
Feeling a bit touchy, Virgo? There's no need to regard whatever anyone else says as a challenge. Venus combining with healing Chiron and bountiful Ceres in your house of others can be useful, especially if your mind goes into overdrive with Mercury stalled and Mars wriggling under pressure. Decide to take a positive tack. Be confident and optimistic, if not breezy and bouncy. Make an effort to develop the potential in the area of shared finances. You know you are right, so why not? Read more on Mercury retrograde! Bold colours are bright red and caramel. Lucky numbers are 8 and 9.
You're in the mood to flirt, dear Virgo, and someone intriguing may catch your eye today. The cosmos is a little out of kilter, so now is the time to look for new emotional experiences. Allow your imagination free rein. On one highly personal matter, you have strong feelings that you are keeping firmly to yourself. Frustrations or setbacks test your inner drive and determination, humble your pride, and challenge your integrity and generosity. Beneficial colours are red garnet and avocado green. Lucky numbers are 5 and 8.
As Venus moves into Pisces in a sensual conjunction with fantasy-driven Neptune, you become more sensitive to the subtler aspects of the world than usual. Everything seems more dreamy and romantic. With those close, you'll be picking up their problems and vibes without even having to ask, setting your mind to keeping relationships harmonious. However, turning somersaults just to keep the peace or avoiding confrontations is not such a good idea. Be firm but tactful if the need arises. Fortunate colours are toffee and parchment. Lucky numbers are 7 and 23.
Are you prowling around at home like a cat on a hot tin roof? Chill out. Mars is in Pisces until after the end of the month, which will make the home front rather heated. Try not to stamp your foot and insist on getting your own way. Remember today especially you also need support. Put the energy into finding someone close you can wrap yourself around. Beneficial colours are dusky pink and raw silk. Lucky numbers are 5 and 7.
Being sensible and double-checking details is not as high on your list of priorities as usual. Sailing across the wind in a spirit of adventure will do you so much more good, you think. Don't give yourself problems for later. You are happy with your own company at the moment and content to reflect on your thoughts. Alone to you need not mean lonely. It's your inner peace that others envy. Fortunate colours are sky blue and purple. Lucky numbers are 22 and 36.
Changes you know are needed at home will soon happen, dear Virgo. Today you can tackle at least one problem situation successfully, especially if it concerns finances. Your motto of the moment should be to let go of the past and move into the future. Purge out whatever has been blocking you and put your best foot forward. Be honest with your loved ones about your feelings from now onwards. Don't let things fester. Fortunate colours are steely blue and mink brown. Lucky numbers are 4 and 8.
Changing your old attitude is not an overnight event, but a long slow process where you begin to evaluate carefully what you want to hang onto from the past. Once you have a clear idea of what you can let go, you can start clearing out what is no longer essential. A significant adviser will act discreetly as a guide and companion. Empowering colours are toffee and rose. Lucky numbers are 17 and 35.
The Sun has joined Mercury your life-ruler in your house of joint finances and major changes. It's time to dig deeper for those fundamental answers. Be discreet. Some uncanny insights can be yours in the days ahead, but watch you are not being too suspicious of the motives of others. Do not look too much on the bleak side. Check your hunches out against reality before acting on them. Positive colours are radiant yellow and rich violet. Lucky numbers are 16 and 11.
With the Sun in Aries for a few weeks, you will be concentrating on confidential matters, both financial and emotional. Remember the more dilemmas you tackle, the greater the rewards. Today you will not be making unrealistic demands of those close to you and neither they of you. So it will be a very good time to start discussions in shared financial matters in a firm but tactful way. Read more on the Equinox. Don't duck and dive or take evasive action. Beneficial colours are green and silver. Lucky numbers are 8 and 17.
Understandably in recovery from the Full Moon in your sign, you may be a touch too analytical about your feelings, standing back to dissect them, rather than plunging into the emotional situations around you. You may need to change your value system to accommodate the necessary new approach. Saturn and Pluto are producing emotional blocks, and friends could be finding your behaviour contradictory. Tolerant at times, you can also be stubborn as well. But frankly the same goes for them. Try patience and charm. Fortunate colours are brilliant green and chrome yellow. Lucky numbers are 2 and 16.
The Full Moon in your own sign is truly fantastic, as the Lunar Orb is so big and bright. That's because it is at perigee, so close you feel you could almost touch it. It has not been this close to Earth in nearly 20 years, so your personal magnetism is beautifully enhanced, although deep emotions may be welling up. This Moon is very significant for your partnerships. You need more support than you have been receiving, so use the energy to please yourself. It may be unreasonable, but that's the way you feel. What you can sensibly expect? Stand tall, dear Virgo. Empowering colours are rose quartz and green tourmaline. Lucky numbers are 1 and 7.
The enormous Virgo Moon is at odds with dark Pluto, so if you get the better end of it, you will be seductive and persuasive. Don't clutch at those close or make it obvious you have an agenda up your sleeve. With Mercury opposing stern Saturn, it would be a mistake to rush back to square one merely on the strength of disagreeable opinions or conflicting information. Who's to say you will not be the wiser or better off for having waited? Fortunate colours are emerald and beige. Lucky numbers are 29 and 33.
If you are feeling blue as the day begins, don't worry, it brightens up later in the day when the Moon lights up your sign. Push frivolities to one side and tackle practical tasks, so you can clear a great deal out of the way once and for all. Then you will deserve a break. Not that your rest and relaxation periods ever last long. You take your responsibilities seriously. Have faith that the cosmos is helping you on a slow but steady rise to success. Find a better balance. Favourable colours are sky blue and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 10 and 22.
With Mercury, your life-ruler, in a beautiful conjunction with expansive Jupiter triggered by the Moon today, your powers of expression will be unusually strong. As it's an inward-looking time for you, why not dive down to the depths and see what pearls you may be able to find? Bring them back to turn enemies into friends and problems into solutions. Expressive colours are light blue and white. Lucky numbers are 12 and 16.
After a lively night and a delightful start to the day, the Moon ducks behind the scenes to your twelfth house of secrets. There's no need to feel discouraged or low in self-esteem, as being left to your own devices is not a bad thing, nor is it a sign that you are unlovable. Make the most of the space to chill out. Listen to good music or daydream in a quiet corner. Your energy may not be high tonight, so step back when you can. If you trail after friends for support you may end up in activities that don't appeal. Beneficial colours are purple sage and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 7 and 11.
Stale partnerships at home and work need a blast of fresh air blown through them. If they can't stand the draught, then maybe they are not worth hanging onto. Don't be afraid of what is changing now. It may be that old doors are closing or shaky relationships are becoming more so. What is important is to see the possibilities for more mature connections in the days ahead. Keep your eye on your dream. Enlivening colours are parchment and purple. Lucky numbers are 7 and 26.
The cosmos today does have a positive benefit, dear Virgo. The Moon in Cancer is quite emotional, but it does encourage you to think more creatively. As usual, you are practical and focused on the essentials, because there is no short cut. Results come through perseverance, self control and self discipline. The way ahead is through joint ventures, and possibly overseas travel. Positive colours are charcoal and sienna. Lucky numbers are 8 and 20.
Try not to put anyone on a pedestal, especially at work: they may not turn out to be up to your hopes, which may not be their fault. You were just a bit unrealistic in the first place. Venus is stimulated in your chart area of work. It could be if you're lucky that a romance is starting around your everyday chores. But even if that doesn't happen you will still take pleasure in doing things with great care and consideration. A new financial phase begins today, as Uranus enters your eighth house. You may also become inspired to investigate life's mysteries in months ahead. More on Uranus in Aries. Favourable colours are umber and aqua. Lucky numbers are 8 and 26.
Heavy financial responsibilities do sometimes weigh you down, but this is also a time of promotion and recognition. You will reap now what you have sown in previous years. Just don't be too distracted by your emotional dilemmas. If there is a minor domestic crisis then you will be enormously resourceful - a real rock on whom other family members lean. Just don't take too much on board yourself. Open up and have a round table discussion. Resourceful colours are ivory and mustard. Lucky numbers are 10 and 26.
The Sun and Moon are dancing for you, and financial matters take a turn for the better. Still, you are no longer happy with superficial answers, and although you may feel stuck, this is part of a cleansing process. You need to get rid of inessentials. At work there is a definite feeling of change in the air, but if you can find the courage to go with it you will find the days ahead more interesting. Prosperous colours are ruby red and dark chocolate. Lucky numbers are 7 and 8.
Having reorganised your working life in recent years to suit your own individuality better, you are feeling happier. The old compromises have gone and you have found more elbow room. Don't give up exploring new techniques, but recognise that many of your battles are now won. At home, you need more depth of connection. If you feel you cannot find it, you will move back from those who don't share your outlook. As Merc hits your eighth, psychological analysis and development of your skills take the focus. Joint income and debts may also be under discussion. Favourable colours are blush pink and golden beryl. Lucky numbers are 8 and 9.
With the Sun in your seventh house of close relationships, another half in life is more vital to your wellbeing and fulfilment than ever. Cooperation is top of your priority list, since you feel rather more vulnerable than usual. But a long-running relationship may be having its ups and downs, because compromises grate on your free spirit. Pay attention to the little details, as these will help pull the bigger picture into focus. Beneficial colours are beige and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 25 and 34.
Don't get into debt if you're going shopping with your love, because the Moon in your eighth house favours the lender. If you want to spend to impress, to resist the temptation. Your money supply is restricted, so don't overload the pipe or it might burst with less than wonderful consequences. Moods are lively and unpredictable, and information is likely to be unreliable, as Mercury is in a difficult aspect. Favourable colours are blushing pink and avocado green. Lucky numbers are 7 and 8.
Challenges at home and at work improve your strength of character, Virgo, encouraging you to be tougher and more enduring. Keep the pressure on the significant situations in your life until you get what you need. So it's push, push, push, push. Let the mighty Aries Moon clear out whatever is not needed for the days ahead. Don't be scared to let go. Less can mean more. Advantageous colours are bright red and carnelian. Lucky numbers are 17 and 45.
Watch you don't go over the top. If you leap into action without having thought your plans through, then your day's schedule won't work well. Make changes as steadily as you can. Other people won't always appreciate the blunt truth, so tone down your comments. Make it clear that you don't mean them to be hurtful. Ideal colours are antique purple and burnished gold. Lucky numbers are 16 and 34.
You may have to be less self-sufficient and more adaptable to be sure your partners are on your wavelength, dear Virgo. You need your other half on your side before you can feel secure in whatever you are doing, at play or at work. Give before you get and you will find it's worth it. This passionate New Moon is about to bounce you back into life in a major way. Try not to be too bossy. Stay tactful with loved ones. Favourable colours are cool green and cream. Lucky numbers are 7 and 25.
With the Moon in your house of hard work and good health for most of today, you will be more practical, self-sacrificing, and health conscious, even for you! Typically, you tend to worry too much about little details, but at least that means you do everything well the first time. There's nothing worse than having to backtrack tomorrow and re-do it all. Nothing will distract you today from the essentials. It may not be very exciting, but you will get it done. Practical colours are amethyst and avocado. Lucky numbers are 6 and 13.
You will tend to throw your emotional needs into work for a few weeks, and could be a little stand-offish on social occasions. Friends will find you reserved but do not always realise quite how shy or even preoccupied you really are. With loved ones you will be reticent about expressing your romantic needs. You need to make more effort to break the ice and show your inner warmth. Otherwise you'll end up over eating to compensate. Beneficial colours are buttercup and beige. Lucky numbers are 9 and 33.
Over the next two days, the spotlight shines on your relationships with co-workers and your working environment. By being sensitive to the needs and feeling of others, you can be instrumental in improving the work environment for everyone. In fact, with a little bit of teamwork, you can achieve awards and kudos for your wise innovations. This is also a good time to begin alternative health therapies. Fortunate colours are cobalt blue and pure white. Lucky numbers are 5 and 14.
