Your Stars:
Over the river and through the woods; on a plane or in a train or even an automobile, this is the month to take that junket and/or that journey. I don’t actually care if that happens on the road less traveled or not just as long as you pack your bags and go. You become a student of life this month grasshopper as quick trips or even longer distance travel provides a glimpse into your future while giving you the map and the quest to get there. And even though the potential exists for delays and cancellations, any attempts at experiencing something totally new will totally transform and be worth the possible wait. Friends and family could be your ticket to happiness too and will bring great joy as will the education the energies are itching to offer you in November. The action starts early with the rise of the earthy Full Moon in your 9th House of, what else, Travel and Higher Learning on November 2. Thinking about faraway and exotic locales intrigues and even inspires you to dream of visiting distant lands. Face it, you need a break from the daily grind and your regular rituals and routines and the man in this moon wants to give it to you. Now, that said, as much as you can expect some breakthroughs in your insights, you’ll want to watch for breakdowns, both on the highways and in your efforts at easy and open communications. And empowering Mercury-Sun conjunction on the 5th followed by a Mercury-Saturn semisquare on the 6th might represent minor delays in information and travel plans so act accordingly. Try to eradicate the extraneous and get rid of all the excess (and emotional) baggage in order to travel lighter than you have in a long while. Seek solace and quiet from the cacophony on the 8th as that self-imposed time out will pay off in some beneficial behaviors and blessings down the road. A Mercury-Uranus trine on the 11th fuels your passions and brings much needed inspirations to your insights. Bright ideas and brilliance abounds. Family fun finds you smiling wide from the 15th onward when Mercury enters Sagittarius, your house of home. It’s joined there by the sun shining on that same agenda on the 21st giving you added incentive to reach out to scads of different friends, Romans and countrymen. You might just find that an after-hours engagement around this same mid-to-late month period stir some sparks between you and a new friend or even activate a really lucky networking opportunity. Possibly even a true love connection? Just be sure to do away with the drama. If it sounds like it’s too complicated, then, it is. Just let that plan go and think of a new one. Enjoy the simpler things in life as November comes to a close and you’ll be so much happier. A Mercury-Jupiter sextile on the 29th makes this one supercharged, super smart day. The cerebral energies that surround these celestial planets allows you to absorb new information effortlessly while practically everyone else embraces your genius ideas! Share your knowledge during these effective days and expect the unexpected, especially where flashes of brilliance and electric speech is concerned. It’s time to come out of your comfort zone in order to travel to your fullest potential. Bon voyage baby!

Your Shui:
Travel is your destinyation this month although difficulties, delays and cancellations are prospects and possibilities as well. Hold the vision and keep the faith as patience and your passport will need to go hand in hand. If you can persist though and pack those bags, the gifts you bring back from this journey are sure to serve your whole life long. Just in case though, let’s shake the magic out of the carpet so you can carry it in your bag. Download an image of something called The Mystic Knot and carry it with you on your way. At any time you experience any sort of discomfort, simply hold the image in the palm of the hand you don’t write with while passing the one that you do over the symbol three separate times. Pass your hand in a clockwise direction round that representation of ease and grace while traveling and then believe that all obstacles and challenges will quickly be cleared from your path. Literally and figuratively. No need to be tied up in knots when you can simply invoke the energies of a mystical one. Now that’s a great traveling companion!

Your Stars:
This month’s Full Moon on the 4th in Aries as well as the New Moon that follows on the 18th highlight your solar 2nd/8th House axis of all things money, money, money! Capturing coin will be your sole focus in October as that single goal steals the spotlight this month. Ideas surrounding investments, partnerships, projects and portfolios fuel your days and fill your nights as friends and colleagues provide much needed information, ideas and potential product launches. Those same people could conceivably also offer a constant source of renewable energy sources as well! Since you will be so sharply and acutely aware of your big financial picture, or should I say because of that preoccupation, you MUST find a way to relax, replenish and restore your own resources as well. With Mars beginning a long leg of a planned planetary journey through Leo in your 12th House of Shared Secrets and the Subconscious, now is the perfect time to get into some sort of habit of hobby-ing in order to take your mind off more pressing matters. It’s time for you to begin a ritual or routine that restores and revivifies or risk total brain burn out. Reading, going for a walk same time each day, doing daily yoga, making time for meditation, starting Soduku; simply start to get in the habit of doing something that brings balance. The aforementioned Full Moon that rises on the 4th also illuminates an alignment between your actions and your intelligence and brings some rapid response to that same effect. During the whole of the first week in fact is appears as if brilliant ideas just fall out of the sky and into your waiting lap, so, dress accordingly. A Mercury/Saturn conjunction that happens on the 8th and influences the days that follow could bring static on the many lines of communication that you have open, so, be sure to have clarity and a clear head during these days. Use these convoluted communications energies to sharpen and hone your skills as opposed to giving into their potential chinks and challenges. Loving and lovely Venus enters Libra on the 14th trying hard to make the best of a bad relationship situation. Use the energies soaking the middle of this month to resolve any loitering lingering issues or concerns surrounding a certain relationship or even make the break if that’s what it takes. Honestly, honesty is the key here and, well, there’s a reason that they say the truth will set you free. Independence from this recurring drama will give you such a sense of freedom that I can’t even begin to say. But you should. Say something, that is. This single action could now change your whole life. For the better! On the 20th Mercury and Jupiter meet in a divine trine that lifts all that melancholy and makes you feel all better. You are in a process of expanding and unfolding and growing and, well, you know it. It’s like you are finally starting to see a bigger picture and your place in it and you like what you see. You are especially tuned in on the 28th when Mercury the Messenger enters your 3rd House of Communications. Since Mercury is your ruling planet you are set to amass a wide variety and scope of information. Joy and generosity overshadow these important days and tinge almost every conversation. Say what you mean and mean what you say and impose on all others to do same. There’s gold to be mined inside this last week and, in this case especially, every cloud does have a silver lining. Even metalsome people will bring you messages, so, listen up. That’s the same direction all your energies are heading this month as well. Up, up and away Virgo! Bon voyage.

Your Shui:
Money might make the world go round but finding new ways to accrue it will also put you squarely in the driver’s seat this month as well. Your ship is just about to come in. Literally. Find a small model boat or ship and stuff it with treasures such as faux gold coins and jewels and gems from your jewelry box. Glass beads, actual coins, replica coins and crystals work equally as well. Strategically place the boat so that it’s pointing INTO your house inside the front entry. This boat should never, ever, ever be facing out the door! This is a powerful Feng Shui secret that signals that your fortune has arrived. Fresh ideas and new money is on the horizon. This adjustment brings it right to your door.

Your Stars:
You can certainly choose to stick to your guns this month but with this much change flying every which way through the air, well, staying stubborn and, then, consequently staying stuck won’t allow you to shoot for the moon which is actually where all your ammunition should be heading. Likewise, you don’t want to shoot yourself in the foot by towing an outworn line when you could be high stepping it through some other quite stellar energies in September! The opportunities to make nice and move forward fly fast and free during the first few days but most especially when Mercury and Mars get into a pshhhhing match on September 3. Everyone’s on edge while you just feel edgy. If you find yourself smack in the middle of this stellar smackdown, just do your best to find flexibility in all of your reactions and responses. You will not, I repeat, WILL NOT be able to control the situations and circumstances at hand, no matter how hard you try. Won’t work. Whenever Mars and Mercury go at each other and then Venus and Uranus get all riled up and involved too, well, let’s just say that both the impossible and the impregnable will rule these early Autumn days. Save your inner Saviour for another opportunity and time. Now, things get really good when powerful Pluto turns direct on September 11 in your 5th House of True Love! Romance, whimsy, playfulness and flirtacious energies abound and flourish and then fill the air with expectation and excitement. Just when you thought is was safe to go back into the emotional waters, Venus and Jupiter come along and push you in head first! You might take a minute to come up for air around the 12th but then you’ll decide to dive right back into all the pleasure as you immerse yourself in some long overdue indulgence! Intimate conversations can make a real difference now if you let down your normal guard and give it up to authenticity. Hold any harshness though, these aren’t those days. All this hedonism will make it hard to get back into the swing on the 17th when the Sun’s opposition to restrictive and cranky Saturn can really start to heat up some issues that you don’t feel like dealing with. Look, September is set to be a month that teaches you that you simply cannot control everything around you, contrary to YOUR opinion. Let it go. Let it flow. Surrender Dorothy. Then you won’t even have to worry about the flying monkeys who seem to inhabit the earth all around you. Watch what you say and just how you say it mid-month so you can make it back to the immediate future with all it’s fabulosity. That same fabulousness finds you feeling much better when the 20th comes calling. This time Mercury joins forces with the Sun to put you in the spotlight and you’re loving every minute. Your confidence and esteem both get a big boost from the planetary party taking place in the heavens. All of a sudden and without warning all your existing relationship crap just cuts out and certain touchy things just become clearer. The energies emanating from the skies on the 21st and 22nd actually offer equilibrium and balance and bring a bonus of increased awareness of your own self worth. WOWZA what a wonderful way to end the month. Beauty. Harmony. Money. Let’s say it again together Virgo shall we? WOWZA!

Your Shui:
I know that consistency is your middle name as well as one of the hallmarks of your stable style but this month it will behoove you to hug and hold onto another word that begins with that same consonant but that has much more boon and benefit in store for you in September. That’s right, get ready to open arms and embrace some super stellar and much needed CHANGE! If you can wrap your head around the fact that you can still have integrity even if the tides are shifting than you will excitedly understand that sometimes changing your mind can bring bigger blessings than holding onto the same stale and stalled opinions and accompanying actions. Forget the change of seasons that occurs in September you are going to have a change of heart. And you’ll LOVE that you did! And, well, since love promises to be a major theme during this days let’s change it up in your bedroom too! Feng Shui says that whenever you need to move old, stale or stuck energies along that one of the easiest ways to do that is to move your bed a half inch or even a full one to one side or the other. Actually Feng Shui says that you should move your bed completely and vacuum under and around it (unless you are pregnant, then, don’t touch a thing!) Once you have vacuumed and vibed the energies then put your bed back. But leave it a half inch off to the right or the left from where it sat previously. This is a surefire and quick way to activate great fortunes and some really good luck. Now, since love is in the air as well, change your sheets to something pink. There you go! Oh yeah, sweet dreams!

Your Stars:
If each individual calendar month had one astrological sign who could claim the crown as the lucky winner of the best astro energies of that month, you would be donning that headgear in August. Your planetary perks are so great and are so synergistic with so many of your great goals and intentions now that I just want you to stop reading right here and get busy being grateful and living large! The month even moves in on a high note with Mercury, the planet of clear, crisp and sharp communications making beautiful music in your own home sign starting on the 2nd. All of a sudden things start to make much more sense as your perceptions and your perspectives both get exponentially sharper. Breakthroughs are happening at a breakneck pace. Your sphere of influence and the impressive impact you have on others now also lends sparkle to this stellar opening of August. With your ruling planet cranking up the communications as well as buoying your confidence during these long in the dog days you’re getting geared to have your way with the world. Especially once you see how everyone admires your clever and brilliant way with words. Schedule meetings, have important discussions and pull as many new people into your life as is possible while you have this grace raining down upon you. Under this early August umbrella you could conceivably have flashes and bolts of inspirational insights and understandings that could change your entire outlook. Eventually offering you plenty of thunderous applause! And then, as if that weren’t super stellar enough, you have the Full Moon rising inside your 6th House of Daily Ritual and Routine, reminding you that a blend of the new ideas with some of the old apps could be just the most perfect pairing ever. And you get all the credit with coming up with that too! Even though it’s summertime, you not only now can stand the heat but you can do that without making your usual Virgo waves. You love ritual. And you love routine. So, believe me, you’re gonna swoon over this Full Moon that shines on the 5th. You might have a little low on the 10th when all this fame and fortune starts to get to you but, truly, a little rest and relaxation won’t stall your system but will, instead, add a bit of refresh and some much needed revivifying. Just remember that all systems might be on go but you have to watch for the potentials for personal rocket boosters to be burning out. Now, speaking of boosters, an enormous spurt of energy follows your days on those low limbs, catapulting you high above the trees and right back into the stratosphere where August swears that you belong. Mars meets Jupiter on the 13th lifting your spirits and your reputation while also nurturing and nourishing your creativity and confidence. Just be careful now not to overcommit since that will be a terrifically strong tendency. You are enthusiastic about the future and all the potential that comes along with that excitement but you have to remember to stay in the here and now. The power is always in the NOW. It’s perfectly okay to connect with your visions and your guides as long as you understand as well that all of these great gifts you are being given this month need to be grounded into your reality NOW in order for you to have access to them long after August ends.

Your Shui:
Mars in Gemini in your solar 10th house of Fame and Honors through to the 24th makes this one action packed month for you chock full of opportunities to expand and broaden your recognition factors all the while potentially reaping some plentiful rewards. Get two small (2 inch by 2 inch) round mirrors and then locate both the ‘Career’ and the ‘Fame’ areas of your bedroom. Measuring three inches from the ceiling, heading down towards the floor, affix each one of these mirrors in each one of those spots. Try best to approximate these mirrors hanging directly across from one another as if there were an invisible stream of energy bouncing back and forth between them. Be sure to be reflecting on your intentions and your goals as you enact this super successful Feng Shui cure as well. You know, mirrors are known as the aspirin of Feng Shui because of the variety of energies they can address. In your case, for this month, take two small mirrors and then call me in the morning!

Your Stars:
The summer days might just seem to be quickly drifting away but some of the special nights that this month promises might just make this July the hottest one ever! Beginning as early as the first few days of this sexy, sizzling month when the planet of all things related to love, Venus, sensually squares mack daddy Jupiter while SEXtiling Uranus, you’ll embrace a new found intensity in your desires while others fight for your attention and affections. Deeelight-full! Then, you have a lunar eclipse adding big energies to your 5th House of True Love and Fun on the 7th and this turn of energetic events simply couldn’t come at a better time. Your charisma and charm are on high alert and your attractor factor is off the charts. It might just be time to let go of old routines, even if those habits will die hard. Rest in peace. Be a bit more flexible during the middle days of this month Virgo (I know, I know, but you can at least try to just break out of set routines and just go with the flow for a few days, can’t you?) Every apparent obstacle that challenges you this month has a silver lining and a golden ticket attached so do your best to go ahead and keep your head in the clouds, your feet on the ground and your imagination finely tuned. The New Moon on the 21st falls in your 11th House of Hopes and Wishes and Dreams just one day before the Sun enters feisty and fiery Leo causing you to catch a golden glow your own self. You know, to go along with all those aforementioned tickets. Compassion will be your mantra as the month comes to a close although you just might find that optimism and encouragement might give that sweet and soulful keyword a run for its money. And, speaking of money, Venus is also traveling in your career and esteem sector from July 5 through the 30th, a highly favored time to impress the proverbial (and literal) decision makers in the room. The ongoing influence will also allow you opportunities to have some swell summer fun with some swell summer friends without worrying about whether actually having a satisfying social life will encroach on your routine work one. It won’t. At least not this month anyway. Summer days driftin’ away but ohhhhh ohhhh those summer nightsssssss!!! All I can say is this, the soaring temperatures this month won’t be able to hold a candle to your heat. Cool!

Your Shui:
July just got even hotter. Not that you’ll need this during these sultry summer days, but, just in case, here’s a little recipe for a little sumptin’ sumptin’ that acts as a magnet or an oil of attraction: Blend three drops of jasmine essential oil with five drops of rose attar and five drops of Neroli essential oil. Add two drops each of gardenia absolute and tuberose absolute and then add the entire mix to a quarter cup of apricot kernel or sweet almond oil. The is simply the most deee-luxe love oil anyone can make. Like I said before, deeee-light-full!
