September 7 through 13

Grab a Gemini and a Pisces and hide out from a hyper-critical employer. The Virgo sun is on the warpath, preparing to challenge you and your allies when you least expect it. Even a laid-back family member can’t avoid the scrutiny of the Virgin’s microscope. Centaurs have lived through the annual September offensive before, but this year, while energetic Mars is in your partnership house and your enthusiastic Jupiter ruler is at home in yours, is different. Too much optimism to let go unchecked? Taking good luck for granted?

Despite it being a partial solar eclipse, the Virgo new moon on 9/11 marks the start of a long cycle of “smarts.” You might even see evidence of your intelligence at work before summer officially ends. The Virgo sun is about to challenge your relationship with a headstrong co-worker at the same time that it intensifies a neighbor’s odd behavior. Anger and nuttiness are in the air, and while you know you don’t have to fix either problem by yourself, more likely than not, it’ll be you who thinks up the solutions that work.

No matter how you were affected by Venus being retrograde in your Leo marriage house, be grateful that it’s almost over. The goddess’ slow, steady slog through the history of your partnership should have shown you some of the more subtle way you interact as well as recalling the memorable pleasures you share. Venus facing forward implies that “hope springs eternal.” But first you might have to reexamine a joint money matter that the picky Virgo sun is insisting you and an amenable partner don’t slough off.

Pisces is in a similar risky position as Sagittarius and Gemini, your mutable brethren, are. While the “know it all” Virgo sun picks at the quirkiness of the Fish, Sol is simultaneously aggravating a domestic or real estate matter as well as drawing attention to your place in the community. Scandal, slander? No place to run to, no place to hide? The classic Pisces response would be to escape through drink, drugs and denial. But that’s old school, and you’ve graduated. Not much to do but ride this storm out.
