6_VIRGO_LIBRA_MONTHLY_6_1920x1080

The sun in fellow earth sign Virgo illuminates an adventurous sector of your chart! You might be on an exciting journey: Perhaps you’re literally traveling the world, or intellectually diving into an engrossing subject that impacts your understanding of the world. Virgo season can also find you publishing your work or sharing an important message. 

Venus retrograde ends in Leo on September 3, marking an important turning point in your finances. You might have paid off a debt or made a plan to organize your finances over the last few weeks, and as Venus moves direct, you have a new momentum with money matters. Shared resources in your relationships is also highlighted at this time, and themes like trust and intimacy were explored during the retrograde. You might have been challenged to ask for something important and face any fears of rejection. Now, a new cycle has begun and Venus’s forward motion invites progress in these themes. We might not always get what we ask for, but knowing what you want and asking for it is important to most Capricorns’ sense of integrity.
