Sophisticated Stars

Written by Joy Yascone Elms MA

Happy Birthday Virgo and Libra! We have so many wonderful celestial happenings in September and October, including a beautiful new moon in Virgo on September 7th and a kind new moon in Libra on October 6th. These new moons will open opportunities for each sign in a different area of life. In addition, Mercury will retrograde from September 27th to October 17th during the new moon in Libra. Besides miscommunication and playing phone tag, this will mean a reassessment and re-evaluation of elements you'll want to include or re-edit in your life to create the most authentic path for your desired goals. Read your Sun sign and rising sign below to find out how the stars unfold for you in September and October!

ARIES March 21st -April 19th

September sees you energetically ready to commit to a new fitness and wellness routine! To see exceptional results, start within ten days after the new moon in Virgo on September 7th. At the new moon in Libra on October 6th, look to deepen a commitment in marriage or business. You'll turn to past opportunities in partnership as Mercury retrogrades from September 27th through October 17th. Aries, you'll be inspired to define and redefine what matters to you in business and your personal commitments and partnerships so you can create your desired future. You could not choose a better time to do so.

TAURUS

April 20th – May 20th Taurus, you'll be happy to know the new moon in Virgo on September 7th will usher in a time of creativity, romance, fun, and love. If you want to embark on a new creative project, it's a great time to start. Instead, if you want more fun, love, and romance in your life, it's on order now from the celestial plane. The Universe says you're welcome. Also, if you want to have or adopt children, get started within ten days of this new moon. Otherwise, proceed with caution. Get started with your desired nutrition and wellness routine within ten days of the October 7th new moon in Libra. Then you'll reach your goals and stick to them!

GEMINI

May 21st – June 20th Gemini, you rule communication for the entire zodiac, so you love a good story or a bit of the latest news. The coming months will be newsworthy for you as you'll be making delightful improvements to your home or finding the home of your dreams within ten days after the September 7th new moon in Virgo. Even in such a hot real estate market, the stars will be on your side! Since this same sector of your chart rules parents and family, you may also see a welcome change in this area. At the new moon in Libra on October 6th, you'll enjoy more love, romance, and fun in your life. Plant seeds within ten days after this new moon for desired results. You can also welcome the stork if wanting to adopt or have a baby within the same time frame Gemini.

CANCER June 21st – July 22nd

Cancer, September kicks off with the start of an exciting new project or contract that should commence within ten days after the new moon in Virgo on September 7th. At this same time, you may hear some good news regarding your sibling or siblings. At the new moon in Libra, which rules your home sector, you'll be inspired about everything to do with home and family. You'll be dreaming of and creating your new dream space, pursuing anything to do with home. You may also be looking for a new space to call home. Libra's influence on your house of home makes you partial to ethereal surroundings with lots of light. Keep your eyes peeled to snag your dream space or decor within ten days after the new moon. Since Mercury is retrograde from September 27th until October 17th, you may find a home that you wanted will come back on the market. Your best bet is to go back to previous homes you liked or one you lost out on a bid and snag it now.

LEO July 23rd – August 22nd

Leo, as September opens, you'll be ready for some excellent new career opportunities to come your way. Within ten days after the new moon in Virgo on September 7th, you'll have some new income opportunities in your inbox. It is the time to go after new business if you are self-employed. If you are searching for a new role, this new moon can deliver that to you or raise your current position. At the new moon in Libra on October 7th, you'll be enticed to sign a contract. However, since Mercury is retrograde from September 27th until October 17th, I'd suggest only signing if this is a contract from a past contact. Otherwise, try to sign after October 17th once Mercury regulates its orbit. Yet, if you really need or want the opportunity, sign and know the contract will change later. Leo, you'll have some fun with your job and financial prospects in September and October.

VIRGO August 23rd - September 22nd

And, since this new moon falls in your sign and is a friendly new moon, you'll be able to create wanted changes in your life with help from the stars.

You also may find that you have secret VIPs pulling for you behind the scenes.

On October 6th, you'll welcome the friendly and expansive new moon in Libra. This new moon comes to light with Mercury retrograde from September 27th through October 17th. You'll have the opportunity to pause briefly and decide if you wish to go back to opportunities that you still value. These opportunities may range from career and money to love and romance since Mercury is retrograde in Libra. You may question your path but will ultimately make wise choices for your desired future. With the rare transit of energy from planet Mars in Libra, which has not happened in two years, you'll be determined and gifted to thrive in what you choose to focus on and nurture at this time.

This moon highlights your 9th house, and you may experience notable PR, publishing possibilities, and dealings with international markets or clients based a distance from you.

This same new moon may also highlight a new profitable business partnership. At the new moon in Libra on October 6th, you'll reinvigorate your financial future with opportunities to refinance, attract venture capital, grants, awards, or other financial investments and opportunities that prove to fatten your bank account.
