How about some play with all that work, Leo? August may not have offered many breaks, but September could make up for lost time. Don’t get us wrong: Virgo season WILL keep you busy. With the Sun in your productive and profit-centric second house until September 22, your to-do list is top of mind. But with energizer Mars taking a super-long trip through Gemini and your collaborative, communal eleventh house (from August 20 until March 25), the next six months will find you in great company! The more the merrier…and the more motivated.
Of course, even the best-laid Leo plans could hit a snag this month, thanks to SIX retrograde planets messing with the dials. With all five of the outer planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune AND Pluto—in powered-down retrograde mode this September, stepping back to evaluate your path is a wise move. When Mercury, ruler of communication and technology, joins the retrograde parade on September 9, the rest of the month is best used to explore and experiment thoroughly before you commit to any firm direction.
