Cancer (June 21 – July 22):
When the Sun shines in Virgo, we can better identify the imperfect aspects of our lives. We notice the dust on the baseboards, streaks in the shower, or the disorganized junk drawer. That's why it's a time to organize and simplify our lives. We want to take care not to indulge all critical thoughts. For example, of all imperfect things, we are most attuned to our relationships. Wouldn’t it be nice if our loved ones were perfect? Nah! Think of how bored you’d be without feeling the full range of human emotions we can only experience through relationships.
Because Mercury is retrograde until September 15, it’s imperative to do some soul-searching to learn more about what drives your annoyances. Blame accomplishes very little to heal fractured dynamics. Be willing to bend a little in your relationships and see if others do the same.
The Sun shines in Virgo until September 22, an influence that brings out your inner administrative assistant and editor. You can better accomplish tasks requiring precision and focused attention. It's also a fruitful time to connect with others or advertise your business. Mercury in Virgo graces your use of language, helping you articulate complex ideas in ways others can receive. If you are inspired to teach a class, now is the time!
The equinox on September 22 makes the fall more delicious. It invites you to enjoy culinary delights and the sensations of pumpkin-spice season. You could be called to entertain friends or host a gathering. If distant relatives invite you for a friendly visit, consider accepting. Time spent with the ones we love is a precious gift, and the astrology of late September lets you put grievances aside and celebrate your bond.
