February is a month that brings relationships to our attention. Although there is the superficial focus on romantic love with Valentines Day, we can go much deeper into our connections with others. I love to study relationships because they are a way we can delve deeper into understanding ourselves, and our “issues.” I want to discuss several ways we can use our relationships to enhance our growth. 

The “Pushing Our Buttons” game. In this scenario, we get upset or triggered by another person. We can remain in reaction mode and point the finger at the other person, or we can look within and see what this is stirring up within ourselves. The only reason we get triggered is because there is an issue within ourselves that is out of balance and needs healing. The process involves examining yourself to see how you might be similar to the other person. Most people don’t want to admit that they could have any similarities with the person that annoys them. I always remind people that even if you possess the same trait, the other person usually magnifies it by 100. In this way, you can’t avoid seeing it! For example, suppose person A bothers you because he is critical. You might also be critical but to a much lesser degree. 

Another possibility is that what person A does to others, you do to yourself. In the above example, Person A may be critical to other people, while you are critical towards yourself. When we see Person A criticizing other people, we are appalled, thinking we would never be so cruel to another person. Yet each time we look in the mirror, we focus on our imperfections, and tear ourselves down continually. 

When we recognize this, we see what a gift the other person is in our life. He or she has brought to our attention the need to heal this issue within ourselves. It is easy to deny, repress and avoid dealing with our own issues. However, the other aggravating person in our life that is reflecting to us what needs to be healed is a continual source of tension that seeks resolution. We can push that person away, but the universe has a clever way of bringing another person into our lives that may express the trait more intensely. I explain this method in depth in the book Soul Choices: Six Paths to Fulfilling Relationships.

Another interesting wake up call is when a person triggers a scenario from your past that needs healing. This takes a bit more contemplation to identify, but can be very powerful. Here is an example that I experienced. I was attending a year long metaphysical program at a school. I lived and studied at the college, which was far away from any family or friends. The 2 people who ran the school were extremely controlling and dictatorial. They abused their powerful position in many ways. It was a challenge to speak out about the abuse of power that I saw because there would have been consequences for me personally. Since I had to live at this school, the people in charge could have made life very difficult for me. And, since I wanted to complete my studies, I basically had to keep my mouth shut. Every time I had to hold back my thoughts, it was torture! This situation triggered past life memories for me of being in situations where I witnessed abuse of power, yet for various reasons I could not speak out. This is a deep issue for me with many layers that I feel I am still healing and understanding. 

Relationships are our playground for personal growth, so have fun exploring the mirrors all around you. Accept whatever is reflected back to you as a gift from the universe. Once you learn the lesson the other person is showing you, magical things can happen. Since the universe works with the law of attraction, if a person is no longer teaching you anything, he or she may just magically disappear out of your life! If you would like to explore your relationship mirrors, join me for a Live class at Unity Temple in Kansas City on March 2nd.

Happy New Year! Everyone here at Intuitive School  wishes you the best in personal growth for 2019. What’s the Energy in 2019? The energy for this year is a 3. This means that Universally we can expect a lot of social activity, and communication steps up a notch. You’re probably thinking, what, more email? Yes, emails, letters, phone calls, Ted talks, you name it, it’s coming out! So what do you personally want to tell the world?  This is the year to EXPRESS YOURSELF!  Develop your creativity and allow that to be an expression of who you are. And most importantly, HAVE FUN! You may find you are getting invited to many events and parties, so indulge! Each year the energies change, and 2020 will be a year focused on hard work, so take advantage of the social activities this year.In the world we may see a resurgence in the arts. Hopefully schools will see the importance of art and music classes and stop cutting those out of their budgets. We may see more philanthropic dollars aimed toward the arts as well. Governments may be more inclined to TALK! Ambassadors may open the door to more dialogue on sensitive issues that affect all countries. The 3 energy may be able to curb the actions of some social media platforms such as Facebook and Pinterest who censor and take down sites they feel are “dangerous.” We had a discussion about censorship on a recent Spirits Journey Radio episode – check it out here! One of my favorite alternative health newsletters, Greenmedinfo.com, was recently censored by Pinterest because they posted some information about side effects and ingredients of vaccines. We can learn a lot from Italy about the power of expression. They had a series of protests against forced vaccinations, which led to a study that uncovered foreign substances and heavy metals in some vaccines. Then a political party ran on the platform of ending the forced vaccine program and won. VIVA ITALIA!Express yourself!  If you want more information about what is in store personally for you in 2019, you definitely want to join me for one of my online Future Predictions classes. You will receive a personal astrology chart and learn what the planetary energies are encouraging you to do. We will also work up a personal 2019 numerology profile! The best way to insure a successful 2019 is to be prepared. In this online 3 hour class I will help you know where the opportunities are for you personally, as well as potential challenges. We will cover everything from the Eclipses, to Retrogrades, New Moons, Transiting planets, and where your karma will be knocking at your door! Click here to sign up for the online class. I will be offering it more than once, and the first LIVE online class is Thursday, January 10th at 6:30 pm CST.I want to prepare for an Awesome 2019!In our last newsletter I wrote about giving experiential gifts for the holidays, rather than more “stuff.” For Christmas we gifted our daughter with a 7 week class in Aerial yoga. I have been curious about this exercise, also known s aerial silks, that has become more prevalent the last several years. At our location they even have a family class on Sundays. If you are looking for something different to do, check out if there are classes near you. If not, here is a link to purchase your own silks so you can hang at home. How cool is that!  New Year Health Tips I have heard a lot of people advocating a New Year fast. Although I totally believe in the benefits of fasting and do several a year, I don’t particularly recommend them in the winter. If you live in a cold climate, your body needs the extra fat and fuel during the winter months. Also, according the Chinese Medicine, the winter is a time to build up our body with yin foods. Soups, stews, and high protein foods are good additions to the winter diet. Also, bitter and warming foods such as chicken, lamb, salmon, shrimp, celery, asparagus, quinoa, amaranth, tea and coffee. Yes, I said coffee! I know there is controversy about it, and I think it comes down to your individual constitution. In a recent Spirits Journey show we learned a ton about Chinese seasonal foods from Teresa Padilla. Check out that episode here.

Are you stuck wondering what present to give someone? An alternative way to approach gift giving is to choose based on a person’s influences. 

In several of the intuitive paths, the influences are divided up among the 4 elements; Earth, Air, Water, Fire. We find this categorization in astrology, palmistry, and Rayid Iris Analysis. 

The zodiac signs

Earth:  Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. Earth signs love practical gifts, so find out what those folks really need. The way to their heart is also through food. Taureans are foodies and love anything that pleases their palette, while picky Virgos would prefer the food to be healthy and organic. Busy Capricorns might enjoy a gift card to their favorite restaurant so they don’t have to worry about preparing a meal after a busy day at work. Earth signs are kinesthetic, so they would a massage gift certificate. Anything that appeals to their senses is a good idea, such as essential oils and an oil diffuser. Earth signs literally like to work with the earth, so how about gardening tools or a small, indoor herb garden? 

Air: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. These intellectual folks would enjoy anything that stimulates their mind, such as books, movie tickets, or a gift certificate to a class. If they are interested in metaphysics, they might enjoy a gift certificate for an astrology reading. 

Water: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. These emotional folks would love to cuddle up with a cozy new blanket and pillow, or a box of their favorite herbal tea. They are sensitive to sound, so a CD of their favorite artist, or a set of wind chimes would be lovely. They usually have an affinity for animals, so you could buy them a pet toy or a special treat like catnip or organic dog treats. 

Fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. These folks are generous and love to give as well as receive, so don’t hold back on them! Fire signs love experiential gifts, rather than things. Besides, most of us remember experiences, rather than the things we received. Here is a list of some cool experiential gifts for those fire signs in our lives. 

Museum passes, gym memberships, escape room, theater tickets, a trip, camping gear, board games, bowling passes, skating tickets, geo caching, indoor skydiving, pottery studios and wine and dine or paint and sip studios where you enjoy wine while painting a masterpiece! 

Cool Spiritual Gifts: If you are wanting to infuse a little bit of metaphysical musings into your gifts, here are some awesome finds: 

The board game Jonathan Livingston Seagull, zafu pillows for meditation, and Hemi-Sync Alpha Wave music, Himalayan acupressure mat, Homedics relaxation fountain, aromatherapy. Would you like to wear your universe? It is possible with Astrology jewelry from Wanderingstarjewelry.com. They will create a  handmade necklace or bracelet with the planets and zodiac signs in a mathematically correct position, showing their placement at birth. They have several interesting lines of jewelry, such as Destiny line, Custom Horoscope, Sun sign and  Relationship jewelry. Check them out! 

Numerology:  The Personal Month Number for December is a 5.  This number is all about freedom and responsibility. A 5 month opens the door to all sorts of fun and all kinds of experiences. The 5 is about being flexible, and with the holidays and family, we will surely have a place to practice being open and flexible. Our challenge is to stay directed, while enjoying all the social activity and holiday hoopla. For example, if you go to a  party and drink too much, be responsible and don’t drive. When you head out to buy gifts, stay within your budget. 

The 5 is a wild card number that can bring unexpected events. You may receive a surprise holiday party invite, a whirlwind romance, or an unpredicted winter storm. Whatever comes your way, just allow the 5 energy to bring you a flexible mind and you will enjoy the month more fully.  

Astrology:  

The motto for this month is Be Flexible! We have 5 planets in mutable signs, signaling the need to go with the flow and change. If holiday plans get changed, don’t worry, be happy! It’s all part of our learning this month. 

December 1-5:  Sun Squares Mars: This transits means there will be more acts of power assertion, especially by men. It’s better not to provoke pole this month, unless you are willing to deal with the consequences. Mars will encourage us to defend our identity, goals and desires. Be firm and stand your ground. A square indicates tension, so plan on doing some physical activities to release this pent up energy. 

December 1-2: Venus opposes Uranus: Uranus will be nudging us to spice up our relationships. We can add some Venusian energy to our romantic encounters by making a special meal for our partner, maybe including some aphrodisiac foods. Try adding some of these to your meal to kick start your sexuality; chocolate, avocado, mace root, asparagus, figs and sweet potatoes. Garlic is known aphrodisiac, and it’s odor can be mitigated by basil, another aphrodisiac. Both oysters and pumpkin seed are high in zinc, which is good for testosterone production in males. Spice up any dessert with cinnamon, ginger, or almonds for added stimulants. 

December 5-6:  Sun Squares Neptune:   You might not feel as energetic as usual and may lack motivation at this time. This square can lead to possible confusion and disappointment, so keep your eyes wide open. What looks like a good deal, may in fact be a sham. This confusion could appear in your personal relationships, at work, or in other business dealings. Neptune will increase our sensitivity to physical things such as drugs and alcohol, so be careful what you ingest. 

December 6-8: Mars conjuncts Neptune: We can channel this energy towards Neptunian areas, such as spirituality, charitable causes, churches and spiritual organizations. 

Be aware of looking at things through rose colored glasses, as Neptune can easily blind us from reality. We may be more at risk for contracting a sexually communicable disease. We can also be more sensitive to alcohol and medications, so it is advisable to use natural remedies that cause no harm, such as homeopathy. We can take advantage of our heightened spiritual sensitivity by meditating and paying attention to our dreams. 

The big event for this month is the New Moon in Sagittarius on December 7th. The New Moon is an opportune time to set new intentions and goals. We can align our intentions with Sagittarius by focusing on our spiritual growth, being truthful, and being positive. The power of positivity goes a long way! I recommend Pam Grout’s book E Cubed for some cool experiments that prove the power of positivity. 

Health Tips:  To keep your skin soft and moisturized during the winter months, eat an orange first thing in the morning. Then wait at least 20 minutes before eating anything else. The juice in the orange will do wonders to hydrate your skin. I learned this protocol from a practitioner of Chinese foods. 

If you overeat and indulge in too many sweets and fats, you can take 1-2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in water in the morning. This amazing substance can cut fat, and when taken 15 minutes before eating it will enhance your digestion. I recommend Braggs brand.

November, 2018

On October 23rd the Sun entered the sign of Scorpio. This is an opportunity for us to investigate and explore why we are we here, our motivations, and our deepest desires. We can take advantage of the new moon in Scorpio on November 7th. The new moon is an opportunity to put forth our desires and intentions. Scorpio’s ruler Pluto will also be urging us to let go of anything that no longer serves our highest good. This act of surrender can be liberating, as we open up space for those things that will help us move further along our spiritual path. 

We have a little time left before Jupiter finishes up its transit of Scorpio on November 9th. Jupiter has been expanding our awareness of the occult, metaphysics, our shadow side, and anything hidden form our awareness. With the elections on November 6th, we can use this Scorpio energy to deeply investigate the candidates. Scorpio loves to play detective and has excellent perception. They have X-ray vision, allowing them to see to the core of a person. We can use this as we decide on a candidate, using our Scorpio lie detector to see which candidates are telling the truth. 

For those of you born with the Sun in Scorpio, you may feel things slow down, as Jupiter leaves your sign and moves into Sagittarius. Here Jupiter will lead the way for expansion in our spiritual quest.  For the next year and a half, more of us will be inclined to seek out foreign travel and higher studies. We will also feel more optimistic as Sagittarius helps us see the glass half full rather than half empty. 

November 17 Mercury goes retrograde until December 7th. Be prepared for all types of communication slow downs and snafus. To avoid confusing mishaps over who is bringing what to Thanksgiving dinner, be super detailed in all your communications. For those of you traveling, it is best to buy your airline tickets before the 17th as well. The holidays should be even more interesting since Venus goes direct on November 16th, ending a period where its retrograde motion allowed us to go within and reflect on our relationship issues. Whatever things we processed about our family relationships, after the 16th we can act on them. We can say or do things to improve our familial relationships. Metaphysically we choose everything, even our family. So understanding our karmic ties with parents and siblings is key to unlocking our life purpose.

Have you been following the herd mentality for too long? Uranus, the planet that reveals our uniqueness, goes retrograde November 1st through March 7th. This slower movement is an opportunity for us to explore how we can bring our unique essence out into the world. There is so much pressure within society, especially for teens, to conform to the norm. How boring is that!? Not only do we feel better when we follow our inner guidance, but it can be profitable as well. 

For entrepreneurs it is important to find our “sweet spot” – which is what sets us apart from our competitors. In today’s competitive market, we may not last if we blend in with the crowd. If you aren’t sure where your uniqueness lies, consider getting an astrology reading. 

Do you know anyone who is going to be giving birth in the next year or two? Listen up, because the Nodes of the Moon will be changing signs. November 15 until June 4th of 2020 the North Node will move into Cancer, and the South Node will move into Capricorn. The kids being born during this time will have Capricorn roots. They will come into this life having lived many lifetimes of hardship, but through it all they learned endurance, resourcefulness and the basics of how to get along in any type of situation. All the struggles they have been through may have hardened them a bit – so their reputation of putting work before people adds to their cool exterior.  They have carried large burdens and responsibilities and will be born feeling they have to be responsible for everyone and everything. 

The answer to what these new souls need to heal this lifetime is found in the North Node, in the opposite sign of Cancer. These kids need to balance those hard lifetimes with care, nurturing, and compassion. New parents can help their Capricorn South Node kids by practicing gentle discipline, and teaching them how to bring out their emotions productively. Simply letting them know it’s okay to cry will do a ton to help them integrate their Cancer North Node. 

By Kerry Leigh

In the Yoga Sutras Patanjali defines what Kriya yoga is right in the first sutra.  This sutra is about the practice of yoga so that we can become the master of our universe!  Many of us are living as unaware victims of our karmic patterns as we entrain them evermore with our emotionality.  The good news is that we have many tools available to us to be able to change and soften this karmic patterning through our sadhana of self-discipline, self-study and conscious attunement to our dreams to expand our awareness.

Do you often ask why certain events happen to you?  Have you considered looking deeper to discover their causality? Even if you get to the how, you can often be at a loss to explain that.  Getting yourself extricated from certain situations is no guarantee that you won’t just repeat the same mistakes again as you have not learned the lessons or done anything differently.  Acknowledging that you are the creator of your life through your thoughts is a huge step in realizing the amazing truth that wow, life can be different!

You spend 1/3^rd of your life dreaming.  Becoming aware of the power of your dreams to help you shift from being in a state of just playing out and re-creating your karma day after day through your life experiences is a powerful tool for answering the ‘what can I do’ to change.  I have noticed that I have a theme or pattern that runs through my dreams from year to year, and it is all about developing my will.  I see where my karmic patterns are expressing themselves without much conscious thought on my part in various aspects of my life and through different ways of being in relationship.  It was discouraging at first to realize that what I thought I was, a person going through life making conscious choices, was actually my karmic patterns and energies just expressing themselves.  It’s important to realize that your karmic patterns are not just patterns of actions, but originate in your thought patterns.  It was like I was just going along for the ride not even aware of the destination.

The sadhana or spiritual practice of dream interpretation is the kriya or conscious action that will lead you into an awareness of where you want to go, exactly, to improve your relationships with others and with yourself.  The art of dream interpretation is a kriya that will take you to where you want to be very quickly.

To develop your will, you need develop a real awareness of your whole self.  That means to look at your dreams unemotionally to see the message and momentarily push your ego self to the side.  This is where you begin to really see how the karmic patterns have you functioning as a puppet in the world.  Don’t forget, you are also the creator of your karmic patterns!   As a practitioner of hatha yoga, you are beginning to see your unconscious patterns emerging as you practice your poses ever deeper and expand your awareness of your potential.

Every person, place, event, or thing is a trigger we react to.  A Course in Miracles has a lesson in it that states that ‘I have given everything I see…all the meaning that it has for me.”  Once we recognize our attachment to our ways of thinking and the emotions that we give our thoughts we are truly on the path.

So what is the real dream?  What if you recognized that your dream is a dream and your life is a dream.  Ahh… now you can see every person, place, event or thing in your dreams as a symbol.  You can use your dream awareness to cultivate a dispassionate look not only at your dream symbols but at your waking dream symbols.  I woke one morning a few years ago from a dream, and wrote  at the end of my journal entry “Then I woke up and lay thinking of my dreams and that my life is a dream, and I should translate my life in the Universal Language of Mind for an even better picture of me.  Is this life a type of lucid dream I am creating?” Believe me, I am not the first to have this thought.  A yogi had a dream one night of being a butterfly.  When he awoke that morning, he was in awe and wonderment, still in the feeling state of ‘butterfly’, and said to his wife, am I a man being a butterfly?  Or a butterfly being a man?

Dream interpretation is an important tool in your self study.  Your subconscious mind is always talking to you and telling you how you are doing.  You can begin to use your free will in studying your dreams as a sister practice to your other practices.  May you be blessed on your journey.

Greetings, 

As the warmth of summer fades, I notice I am spending more time inside, both literally and figuratively. You may have been feeling this also. If you haven’t, you will soon as some of the planetary energies are encouraging an inward journey. 

The main astrological event that will usher us into a more contemplative mindset is Venus going retrograde on October 5 – November 16. When a planet goes retrograde, it slows down, so much so that it appears to be moving backward, since it’s motion is so much slower in comparison to the other planets. When a planet goes retrograde, it is an opportunity to go within and process the issues related to that planet.

Venus governs love, beauty, relationships, harmony, creativity, balance, and appreciation. During this retrograde period, we can contemplate our relationships. Is there someone we have been avoiding, or someone we need to make amends with? It is also a good time to reconnect with ourselves and show some self appreciation. Have you been putting off getting that massage? Maybe we need to buy something nice for ourselves, or redecorate our bedroom to make it more cozy. Rather than jumping out to start a new relationship, it is more appropriate during this time to focus and deepen our understanding of our existing relationships. Considering the importance of love and harmony, and the fact that Venus only goes retrograde every couple of years, it is quite a significant event. 

We can get more specific on the meaning of this retrograde by examining the sign that Venus is retrograding in. Venus is in Scorpio until October 30, and then enters Libra.  Wherever you have Libra and Scorpio on your chart is the area you can focus on. The Scorpio influence brings in the need to examine our finances and our attitudes about money. If you’re like me and not as organized with your finances as you would like to be, maybe it’s time to consider a software to help you stay more organized. I am considering using Quickbooks to be more organized and to avoid the frenzy at tax time as I gather all my information. It’s also a good time to review our jointly held finances and assess what is working and what is not working. Scorpio loves to investigate and discover, so it is the perfect opportunity to reconcile your bank statements and find any errors. 

When Venus enters Libra, the sign it naturally rules, we will have the opportunity to explore the karma we have created with individuals in our life.  Karma is relieved through understanding, so we can avoid a lot of pain and suffering if we process and understand the bonds we have formed with others. If you are confused, you might consider an Astrological Synastry Reading, which compares your astrology chart with another person. It reveals how the planets are interacting and how to best deal with tensions and disagreements. Likewise, we can see what is needed to keep the romance sizzling in our intimate partnerships. 

When Venus goes direct on November 16 it will be time to take action on the issues we have been reflecting upon. 

On October 8 we have a new Moon in Libra. A new moon is the opportunity to start fresh, set goals, and envision our dreams becoming reality. With the influence of Libra, it is encouraging us to set goals regarding our relationships with others and ourselves. Maybe we set a goal to go to the gym twice and week and get a massage once a month. If you have been neglecting your partner, you could set a goal of one date night a week. You can look at the house where Libra resides to get further clarification as to what goals to focus upon. 

I realize I have been negligent about taking care of myself, particularly my lower back. I tried a new therapy called Tuina acupuncture. I was pleasantly surprised. It was the most amazing therapy I have ever experienced! My back has never felt better, and I felt like I released years worth of strain and pain in my back.

Powerful Astrology in September 

Uranus left Aries and entered the sign of Taurus on May 15th. This means a new focus on the Earth! Uranus can bring sudden and unexpected events. 

Uranus definitely brought a surprise event in August, when Monsanto lost the first major court case brought against it regarding their toxic herbicide RoundUp. The court found that glyphosate, the main ingredient in the weed killer, was responsible for the cancer contracted by a school worker who sprayed it on the school grounds every summer. It was hard to believe that this giant corporation was finally brought to justice after polluting the earth for so many years. Thank you Uranus for upsetting this unethical corporation. 

Another big event that will help with cleansing both our bodies and the earth, is the New Moon in Virgo on September 9th. Since the New Moon is a good time to put forth intentions, and Virgos love purity, we can include things like doing a juice fast or other body cleanse. Virgo reminds us of the need to be of service to others, so we may find a way to share our talents to help another person. 

There are 7 planets in Earth signs and 3 planets in Water signs this month. Mother nature is definitely showering us with water, as hurricanes are occurring throughout different parts of the world. The 7 planets in Earth signs may be linked to the revelation in the news that glyphosate, the main ingredient in RoundUp, was found in dozens of food products including cheerios, oatmeal, crackers, Doritos, and the list goes on. The Earth is tired and it’s shouting back. 

We can take advantage of the grand trine in Earth signs this month by visualizing our desires coming to fruition. Earth helps us ground ourselves and bring our ideas into reality. So take out those vision boards and let the work begin! The fact that Mercury and Mars are now direct will also help move the energy in all areas of our lives. 

Meanwhile, Uranus opposes Venus. This can bring unexpected romantic love. Boring relationships will get a kick in the butt from Uranus to spice things up, have some fun and get out of boring routines. It’s a good time to take a weekend getaway with your partner and have a new adventure. 

I will focus on predictions for Earth signs this month since they are highly charged with activity. 

Taurus

September 6th, Mercury is posited in the 5th house, along with the Sun. This is a fun month for you! The 5th house reminds practical Taurus to have some adventure and get away from work to enjoy life. If you have children, find time to engage in some creative endeavors together. The 5th house also may stir you to start that business you have dreamed about. Entrepreneurs already in business may find a new product or strategy to increase their sales. The New Moon on September 9th will be in your 5th house as well. Use the Moon energy to set intentions for yourself. 

September 10th brings Venus moving into your 7th house of partnership and marriage. This is a good time to forge deeper relationships with those special people in your life. 

Mars moves into your 10th house of career on the 11th. Taureans love to be productive, so this Mars energy will ignite you even more. Be careful not to overdo it, while still gaining an advantage over your competitors.  

The month closes with the full Moon in your 12th house, pulling you inward. You would be wise to explore your inner realms by meditating, interpreting your dreams, and making time for quiet reflection time. 

Virgo

Your ruler Mercury is posited in the first house, alongside the Sun. Service oriented Virgos would do well to spend some time on themselves for a change, and indulge in some self-development. The New Moon on the 9th also takes place the 1st house, signaling a new beginning. Think about what you really in life, and set those intentions! 

The planet Venus in your second house of money may entice practical Virgos to actually be frivolous with your money. It can also signal good financial prospects for you. On September 10th Venus moves into the 3rd house, next to Jupiter, putting the emphasis on all forms of communication. Since communication is second nature to you Virgos,  thanks to your ruler Mercury, this is a good time to begin or finish writing a book, or simply speak out! 

Work oriented Virgos will enjoy Mars moving through your 6th house of work and service. This is an opportunity to get in some extra exercise, and do some volunteer work. Just don’t overwork yourself! 

September 22nd the Sun moves into the balancing sign of Libra in your second house. This is a good time to balance your checkbook, and focus on ways to work smarter, not harder. Libra reminds us of the need for balance in all areas of life, and for you Virgo, that especially means in your work life. 

Opposite the 2nd house is the 8th house, where the Full Moon will occur on the 24th. Now you can focus on joint finances, rather than just your own money matters. You may also be inclined to delve into some spiritual study.
