Perfection will peak when the Sun is in meticulous Virgo from August 22 to September 22, putting an end to the playful days of the Sun in rambunctious Leo.
When the Sun moves into Virgo, it’s time to take life a bit more seriously. Sure, it’s still carefree summertime, but now it’s also time to focus more on our work, our health and how we can make ourselves useful to society.
Virgo is practical and detail-oriented, so this is also a good time to learn new skills, practice perfecting old skills, and for doing any activities that require paying close attention.
Those born from about August 19-25 were born on the >Leo-Virgo cusp, and those born from about Sept. 19-25 were born on the Virgo-Libra cusp. Being born on the cusp simply means that you were born during the transition time between two zodiac signs, so you retain some qualities from each sign.
All that said, it’s also important to remember that you can have at least a little bit of fun while the Sun is in Virgo. You can work hard and strive for perfection, but take a break once in a while and remember not to judge yourself or others too harshly. Nobody is perfect!
Here’s how to make the most of that Virgo lifestyle:
What to do: Get your work done — perfectly. Then go for a run, get a massage and wind down with a good book and a glass of wine. Virgo is an Earth sign that values sensation and the best things in life, so make sure it’s a deep tissue massage and a very fine glass of wine.
What to say: “Let me double-check that.” Virgo doesn’t let anything go — a quality that is both invaluable and annoying. It’s great to have an eye for the smallest details, especially if you’re an editor or a mathematician. But if you’re double-checking someone else’s work, take it easy on them if you find fault — which you will, because the Sun’s in Virgo!
Where to go: Camping! Earthy Virgo finds comfort and security when surrounded by nature and wildlife, so get out to the country while the Sun’s in Virgo. Such a serene setting will also calm Virgo’s overly anxious tendencies and help you loosen up and relax.
What to wear: A cashmere cardigan and a comfy pair of shoes. Practical Virgo is most at home in luxurious yet comfortable clothing, in earthy tones of beige and tan. Virgo can be fussy sign, so it’s best to keep it clean, cozy and simple when it comes to getting dressed in Virgo season.
What to buy: A vacuum cleaner! Forget “spring cleaning” — we prefer “summer cleaning” when the Sun is in Virgo. For that matter, you might also want to pick up a broom, a mop and a new feather duster, because now is the perfect time to use that meticulous Virgo energy to get your home perfectly spotless.
What to watch out for: Being too critical and judgmental. Virgo can sometimes be too fussy, turning “perfect” into downright picky, which can be annoying and frustrating for others. Strive to loosen up a little and let a few things go — after all, not everything needs to be perfect.
What to look forward to: Getting back on track. Sun in Virgo is an organized and practical period in which to get back to business after a few playful months. It may not be all fun and games, but you will feel fantastic about how much you’ve accomplished by the time the Sun moves on into Libra on Sept. 22.
Today’s Meaning:
The good spirits are pleased with you. This period is a happy one. For the immediate future these spirits will protect as you travel through life and reward you with moments of bliss.
General Description:
This curious wooden figure is worn suspended round the neck as a talisman by the natives of New Guinea. It is supposed to terrify and scare away evil spirits. It is also a charm for happiness and is believed to protect the wearer from illness, for the natives believe that illness is caused by a bad spirit entering the body. They are taught by their witch doctors that nature is full of evil, and good spirits, and much of their time is spent in pacifying the good spirits, and frightening away the evil ones.
Your Past, Present & Future Reading Given On August 22nd
That Which is Behind You
Chrysanthemum
Symbol: Pleasure
The Chrysanthemum tile indicates you will enjoy a happy time filled with social activities and leisurely moments untainted by the demands of everyday life.
Your Current Place
Bamboo 8
Symbol: Mushroom
The Mushroom tile represents eternal life and oddity. It gets these attributes from the fact that mushrooms in nature always seem to regenerate and often popup where they are unexpected. The notion of oddity is derived from the mushroom seemingly having the nature of a plant, but lacking leaves. The Mushroom tile foretells the coming of unexpected events that will have a lasting impact on you.
That Which is Before You
Wan 2
Symbol: Sword
The Sword tile indicates a decision must be made before attainment of your goals can be reached.
Your Personal Lucky Number does not change. This number will be lucky for you your entire life. Your luck derived from this number will be strongest when you are addressing events and issues related to the general meaning of the number. Lucky Numbers should not be relied on to constantly produce positive results, or make impulsive, high risk gambles. They simply mean that where they appear you have an edge. How large an edge is impossible to determine, but seems to increase with the number of occurrences your Lucky Number is be associated with a given event or issue.
Those with a Personal Lucky Number 5 are nearly as fortunate as those with a 3 Personal Lucky Number. Your 5 will bring you luck in matters involving risk and new ventures. 5 will shine for you in times of change and even chaos and upheaval. Your 5 will also give you an edge when connected to matters of romance.
The Storm represents the trouble and discord that creep into our lives from time to time. The storm is represented by a tornado whirling its way across a fertile plain. Tornados are powerful but relatively small, short lived storms, which means that while the turmoil they indicate may be strong it will at least pass quickly. Like the tornado, The Storm is a force outside yourself and beyond your control. During a stormy period you may lose ground. However, knowing one is upon you can certainly help you keep your losses to a minimum, or even turn what might be a disaster into a windfall.
As a daily card, The Storm denotes a time when you should be prepared to face some large challenges in your life. You may find yourself losing more than you gain for awhile. The key to weathering the storm is preparation. You know its coming, so be ready for it and there is a possibility that you can transform a tumultuous event into something good.
Sudden changes and endings. Making a final decision. Completing something. Walking away from something or someone. Danger.
Additional information about Today’s Witches Rune, The Scythe….
The Scythe
This symbol is very familiar to most of people, often associated with harvest and death. In the runes, it is no different. The Scythe is related to endings, sudden separations, final decisions, important changes and danger.
The appearance of this symbol show that there’s something in you life you need to bring to end now, before it snowballs into something worse. Usually, the decision that the Scythe forces you to make is one you’d rather escape from… it’s a painful and difficult choice. Even though you know (or feel) it’s for the best, you’ll mourn the fact that it has to happen.
Also, the Scythe is connected to sudden, swift changes that force you to alter completely your plans, strategies and sometimes the very way you see the world. The situation is no longer what it was, your modus operandi no longer works here. Your ideas no longer correspond to the reality. The information you have is no longer accurate, or useful. You need to strain those adaptation muscles and find a way to keep standing while the rug is pulled from under your feet.
Although this rune can represent physical danger, such as accidents or surgeries, many time it refers to sense of foreboding. Something just isn’t right… the fear of loss looms large. Trust these feeling and proceed with caution. This rune can also relate to actual death and all related to it: burials, graveyards, inheritances, heirlooms, legacies and things connected to your ancestry.
In relationship readings, the Scythe suggest caution too. It can represent sudden and irresistible attractions, the kind that inspire people to do crazy things. . Obviously, this rune also represent separations, divorce and conflicts, always leaving a sour aftertaste. The strong passion can quickly transform into strong resentment. In its most positive note, this rune can symbolize relationship that completely transform the people involved.
The Hermit denotes a need to have some space between you and everyday hustle and bustle of our busy world. The Hermit needs to retreat. Indeed, happiness for The Hermit requires seclusion, freedom from material wants, and time for intense introspection. The answers The Hermit needs cannot be found in our physical world. The truths he seeks are internal, spiritual, and the distraction of a well developed social life can only impede his quest for his personal truths. Still, although not anything remotely resembling extroversion, The Hermit does sometimes need to share time with others; so he can learn or teach, guide and be guided. The Hermit’s time spent amongst people depletes his energy rapidly. To avoid an overload he has to retreat from social settings quickly.
The Hierophant represents the protector of a culture’s heritage and traditions. His purpose is to defend and teach the established ways and beliefs a group embraces. He is inherently conventional and a true believer in the power of the group. He loves the structure of the group and its values. It is the task of The Hierophant to bring new members into the group—to prepare the uninitiated to take their rightful place in his culture. In this sense he is very much like a teacher or a priest. He also acts as the repository of his group’s history. The Hierophant is certainly not one to buck proper authority. However, he is a staunch and worthy defender of the tried and true. He represents the positive aspects of tradition and conformity.
For the week of August 22, I chose the Knight of Cups!
What a beautiful continuation of the Ace of Cups energy that we had from last week. Now, you are taking that creative potential from the Ace and manifesting it through the Knight. This is about making progress and turning your creative endeavors into something real and tangible. This is the expression of what has been welling up inside of you.
This week, fall in love with love itself. Look for all that is beautiful. Write poetry, watch the sun set, commune with nature – do whatever it takes to remind yourself of this beautiful world we live in.
And connect with others in a way that allows you to express your creativity and your emotions. Be authentic. Don’t hide behind silly games or Facebook. Be open and expressive!
Ask yourself, “How can I express my emotions authentically?”
An interplay between expressive and passive energy repetitively cycles us through angst, frustration, and resolution. A wild Mars-Uranus connection releases pent-up feelings early in the day. But the steady Taurus Moon strives to cling to the status quo, even as she runs through five uncomfortable aspects. Finally, impulsive Mars hits the wall of compulsive Saturn early tomorrow morning, requiring us to apply the gas and brake pedals simultaneously.
Aries Horoscope MAR 21 – APR 19
It’s easy to forget your real worth now if you’re confused by a spiral of self-doubt. Although you may be the target of someone’s negativity, other people’s actions might actually be a reminder to examine your own role in the current conflict. Don’t succumb to the temptation of escaping into indulgences or denial. Instead, buckle down and overcome the resistance by tackling your obligations one at a time in an orderly manner. Work hard in silence; let your success be your noise.
Taurus Horoscope APR 20 – MAY 20
Your inner work is preparing you to make external changes that involve others in your life. Although this emotional process should be relatively straightforward while the Moon is visiting your determined sign, you could meet one challenge after another now. Don’t even consider quitting, no matter how weary you are of confronting adversity. The looming Mars-Saturn conjunction is one of the best transits for concentration and productivity, even if you’re annoyed about how the current circumstances are unfolding. Put your suppressed anger to good use and you will be blessed with something lasting to show for it.
Gemini Horoscope MAY 21 – JUN 20
A sudden realization reveals a radical solution to an existing problem today. But you must consistently follow through on your intentions or people will lose faith in you. A hard-core conjunction between expressive Mars and repressive Saturn imposes limits that separate truth from fiction now. Relationships can be tested by a lack of trust or by mounting stress; if you value the connection, focus on fixing the situation instead of adding more emotional fuel to the fire. St. Thomas Aquinas wrote, “A man has free choice to the extent that he is rational.”
Cancer Horoscope JUN 21 – JUL 22
An out-of-the-box breakthrough at work drives home the idea that you can do anything you set your mind to now. However, hot-to-trot Mars pushes against the cooling authority of Saturn, causing frustration to build to a breaking point. Resolving your dilemma seems impossible today, for there’s no easy way to express your feelings without creating an unwanted negative response in return. Take a walk, engage in strenuous exercise, or do some yoga — anything that burns off excess energy. Ultimately, the solutions based on meticulous planning combined with hard work are the ones that will accomplish the most.
Leo Horoscope JUL 23 – AUG 22
You might believe your new plan will solve all that ails you. However, a tough Mars-Saturn hookup in your 5th House of Self-Expression puts an end to any pie-in-the-sky thinking. Forget about making grand gestures and fulfilling your desire to be king of the jungle. Instead, just take the practical route and focus all your energy now on overcoming the obstacles in front of you. This is your time to squash the lingering resistance that prevents you from experiencing happiness. As Gandhi said, “Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment. Full effort is full victory.”
Virgo Horoscope AUG 23 – SEP 22
Escaping to an exotic location might sound like the spiritual antidote you need now, but the practical realities of your life won’t allow such irresponsible behavior. Assertive Mars joins up with make-it-real Saturn in your 4th House of Foundations, requiring you to take a small but solid step toward upgrading your domestic life. Strengthen family bonds by working for a common cause. Choose your actions carefully, for anything put into motion now will produce positive results, as long as you don’t expect it to be an overnight success.
Libra Horoscope SEP 23 – OCT 22
You may experience a heightened sense of frustration now as energetically expressive Mars slams into the confines of Saturn’s walls. This is not the best time to push your opinions on others. Easing up in your approach helps to create the enduring impact you hope to achieve. Don’t wag your tongue or scatter your energies; instead, focus your intentions and act with conviction. Handling issues with serious determination can finally free you from the constraints that have limited your success in the past.
Scorpio Horoscope OCT 23 – NOV 21
You prefer to keep your vulnerabilities hidden under lock and key, but they can still find a way to surface. Although you may be managing a crisis in the material world, there are other issues to consider now. While you could be short of cash or feel restrained by someone who isn’t acknowledging your true worth, the real dilemma is your inability to just be yourself. Remember, you might be bringing leftover feelings of rejection into this new situation. Forgiving the past empowers you to face the present with compassion for everyone you encounter. Loving others starts with loving yourself.
Sagittarius Horoscope NOV 22 – DEC 21
Choices made now are likely to have long-term consequences, especially regarding your career. Sobering Saturn anchors impulsive Mars in your inspirational sign, so don’t expect a success story to develop if you act out of haste. The bigger the commitment, the more cautious you should be about making it. If you feel competitive juices flowing or your adrenaline rising, contain the excitement so you can direct it with clear purpose and maximum control. Channel your passion into your work.
Capricorn Horoscope DEC 22 – JAN 19
A complex combination of overreaction and self-restraint makes for an emotionally trying day. The planetary pressure builds and you could feel either confined or ignored as assertive Mars meets up with oppressive Saturn. Use these conflicting energies in a constructive manner by hatching a plan that is consistent with your destiny as you see it. This moment in time is just the start of a long process, so don’t worry if everything seems to move in slow motion for a while. The art of discipline is just choosing between what you want now and what you want most.
Aquarius Horoscope JAN 20 – FEB 18
Hang on to your hat, for an instant replay of the past few months is possible today. You are caught in the middle of a cosmic game of chance, reminding you of other times in your life when you didn’t get what you wanted, or when you fell short of your target. One minute you’re not sure of your next move, and the next moment you’re impulsively jumping into a new venture or relationship without considering the ramifications. But don’t try to make anything permanent now. Letting the energy play on through allows you to find a unique solution to this familiar predicament.
Pisces Horoscope FEB 19 – MAR 20
Power struggles are spawned by your bright ideas and the subsequent resistance you encounter. However, self-restraint is the key ingredient for moving through this dynamic phase when impetuous Mars slams into cautious Saturn in your 10th House of Career. What began as a whimsical inspiration now requires planning and management. Push ahead with determination, even when pleasure tempts you to relax. Skipping a party or missing a concert won’t feel like a sacrifice when keeping your commitment to yourself can be so much more satisfying in the long run.

The Sun moves into your work and health sector, dear Aries, and will transit here for a month. It’s a good time to take charge of daily routines. You can be especially busy getting your life into better order now. Your ruler, Mars, moves out of its post-retrograde shadow today, and this can translate to more energy and direction. Mars is also moving towards an alignment with Saturn – an aspect that occurs only once every two years or so and that requires you to take responsibility for a matter. There is some tension to the day, especially if you feel the pace is not quick enough. There can be some annoying grunt work to take care of now.
Taurus
Taurus
Today, the Sun enters the sector of your chart that rules your individuality and creative expression, dear Taurus, where it will transit until September 22nd. Mercury and Venus are already here, and with the Sun’s arrival, this is an exceptionally expressive and creative time for you. This is a “show and tell” house of your chart, and it’s a time for expressing your talents, abilities, and affections. A stronger urge is with you to create, put talents to use, show others what you can do, experience and enjoy romance, and partake of many of life’s pleasures. You are less cautious with your heart, and more spontaneous in your actions during this pleasing cycle. Today, try not to jump to conclusions or resort to tactics to get your way. Aim to get more information before making important decisions. A feeling of being resented by others is likely to pass quickly, but can be disconcerting.

This is a time for bringing healing and wholeness, as well as some refinement and organization, to your home life and family relationships. It’s a natural time for anchoring and nesting on a psychological level. It’s certainly not the most adventurous or outgoing cycle in the Sun’s journey through your chart, but it’s important for a sense of identity, comfort, and self-knowledge. Today, however, there can be some feelings of frustration as your plans might fall through or you could encounter delays. Watch for a tendency for some to be envious or devious. However, these are likely to be minor hurdles.
Cancer

It’s a time of increased awareness of what needs to be repaired, healed, and improved in your personal environment, communications, and interactions with others. You may be looking towards subjects of study or topics of interest as ways to expand your knowledge, but also as means to define yourself more completely.

It’s also a time for making the most of your natural talents and abilities – for building and developing these things.

It’s a yearly, month-long cycle that is necessary for reflection, rest, and recollection. You are gathering your strength for busier times to come, but also reflecting upon recent events and shedding attitudes and situations that have run their natural course. You may put some things behind you now if they’re no longer supportive. This can be a time of connecting with your more spiritual side, but for some, there can be a feeling of being a little lost temporarily. The Solar Eclipse in just over a week can help direct you.

Socializing and networking can figure even more strongly in your life now. Involvement with a group or association can be in focus. You can be more actively participating and contributing, and can benefit from teamwork. While this can be a personally popular time, today there can be a feeling of being slighted or overlooked. Know that this may not bet the best time for pushing ahead with plans. As well, watch for a tendency to overindulge as an attempt to tame inner discontent.

People in positions of power are more likely to notice you and listen to you. Pride can help your reputation, but too much of it, of course, can be damaging now. Today, there can be some feelings of blocks. While you may want to push ahead with personal plans, you could encounter resistance. Do your best to take your time with new initiatives and avoid depending on someone to help you out, just for the time being.
Capricorn
Capricorn
The Sun begins its transit of your sector of adventure and spirit today, dear Capricorn, and will continue to influence this area of your solar chart until September 22nd. This area of your solar chart has been busy recently, so you’re no stranger to its spirited, spontaneous energy, but with the Sun here now, you’re likely to want to take action or take charge. It’s an excellent cycle in which to lift yourself above your usual routines, even in little ways, so that you can better consider the bigger picture. You are more adventurous and curious. You might do more studying, learning, and venturing out and about. Your aspirations and ideals are stronger driving forces in your life now. Today, however, you could feel subtly undermined.

Pisces
Pisces
The Sun begins its transit of your partnership sector today, dear Pisces, and will continue to influence this area of your chart until September 22nd. You are drawn to others during this cycle, and there can be a spotlight on close friendships and partnerships. You can learn a lot about yourself and your life through others now, as they can provide a mirror to certain aspects of yourself that you haven’t been clearly seeing until now. This is a time when compromise and negotiation tend to serve you best. Today, however, there can be some tension in your social life. Responsibilities can be weighing heavier than usual, and you may be tempted to take a shortcut. However, obstacles encountered now can stimulate inventive thinking and new approaches.
