The Next Two Weeks - Power Time for Virgos and Earth Signs

There's something prettty unique happening with the planets right now. A pile of planets are in the sign of Virgo, and they're making some very tight conjunctions (alignments.) This is giving people born under the sign of Virgo an incredible hit of energy. (I'm lucky to benefit from this myself, being a Virgo.) This is also providing a wonderful boost to the other two Earth signs, Taurus and Capricorn.

No matter which sign you were born under, you'll be feeling something interesting over the next few weeks. Today, Friday, the 10th, communicator Mercury moved into the sign of Virgo, joining the Sun, Mars, and Jupiter in this sign. Next Tuesday, the 14th, there is also a new moon in Virgo, plus two powerful conjunctions in Virgo (a moon/Sun conjunction and a moon/Jupiter conjunction.) On Wednesday, the 15th, there is a Sun/Mars conjunction in Virgo. And lastly, on Tuesday the 21st, there is one more conjunction of planets in Virgo. This one will be between the Sun and Jupiter.

Everyone will be feeling a need to become more grounded, more practical, and more concrete throughout this time. If your career isn't providing you the income that you want, you could make a serious decision about changing jobs, asking for a raise, or doing some freelance work to supplement your income. If your body is disappointing you and you'd like to lose some extra pounds, you'll be focused on taking practical, concrete steps to accomplish this goal. If your relationship is bumming you out, you might start working with a therapist or reading self-help books to give you a more enlightened perspective on what you really need to be doing in your current situation.

This period has a "back to school" feeling, a "roll up your sleeves and get to work" tone. This is all good.

Virgos, Taureans, and Capricorns will have a sense of ease about this time, finding it easy to be disciplined and methodical. People born under the sign of Pisces may feel a little lazy now, since Virgo is opposite their sign, so if you're a Pisces, you may have to push yourself a little harder to make necessary changes. But you'll get there!

Air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) will feel calmer and more centered in their physical body than they have in recent months. Air signs can be a little scattered, with their attention all over the place. But this month, Air signs will have an easier time staying focused on their tasks and being more linear in how they go about things.

The other Water signs besides Pisces (Cancer and Scorpio) could be feeling lethargic, but overall, they'll be pleased with all that they have accomplished after they get up and get moving.

For those of you who meditate, pray, or enjoy "manifesting" through magical ritual, you'll find your creations coming into reality very quickly this month. The "lag" time between setting your intention about something and seeing it manifest in physical reality will be very short. So be careful what you wish for, because it may come true! Use this time of power wisely.

It will be especially easy to manifest things around the time of the fall equinox, which is September 22nd. The two equinoxes and the two solstices are powerful periods in which gateways open between dimensions. Something might disapper from your life while something else suddenly enters your life. Friends may fade from view very rapidly while new companions materialize out of the blue.

Overall, this September is a unique time for setting your intentions and seeing them come to pass very quickly. Set some goals for yourself in your personal, professional, and spiritual life, and see how quickly wonderful things start to take shape.

And most importantly, have fun making wishes! Consider this time to be one big Tooth Fairy month, when your spiritual guides, devic helpers, and angels want to connect you with the realm of the miraculous.

It's a nice place to hang out.
