Virgo
Virgo (Ruling Planet: Mercury; Element: Earth) You’re a natural problem solver, Virgo, and you are extremely practical. Your intelligence, trustworthiness, and attention to detail usually make you the best person for the job. You’re adaptable, for an Earth sign. You’re also analytical, sometimes to a fault. You can be overly critical and a harsh perfectionist, but only because you’re afraid of exposing your own vulnerabilities.
The Sun, the moon, and the planet of fortune, Jupiter, all shift out of your sign this month, and into the next one on the Zodiac– Libra. During these happenings, you may notice a slowing down throughout the month, an emphasis on remaining stable (especially financially), and taking time to relax. Mercury is in retrograde in Virgo while the solar eclipse also occurs in your sign on the 1st, providing the perfect energy for second chances — think about something you’d like to re-do, and go for it. The lunar eclipse a couple weeks later signals a make-or-break moment in regard to any romantic relationships. Speaking of romance, open dialogue with your lover will be important while the planet of love shifts into sensitive Scorpio on the 23rd. On the 27th, Mars will be in another earth sign, Capricorn, and it’ll feel good to take time for whatever hobby makes you happiest.
Your September Trax: Getchu some music to match this natural slowing of energy this month. Bon Iver’s new album 22, A Million, out Sept. 20th via Jagjaguwar, should do the trick. If you just can’t wait that long, be sure to try Annie Eve’s acoustic instrumentals, accompanied by her intimate voice and heavy, intricate, looping beats. Of course, there’s always this James Blake track from May.
