These last days of August may feel loopy, what with your ruling planet Mercury being in retrograde, and the relationship dramas. But you are in strong form and can ride it out fine.

In fact, extra fine because all the positive planetary activity is going on in your sign of Virgo! In here you have: the almighty, life-giving Sun; sweet Venus; an exacting new Moon - in Virgo! - on Sunday, August 28; and your ruler brilliant Mercury as of Friday, September 9.

This wealth of planetary energy is setting your first house alight. And your first house rules:

Your body and body-image

Your confidence

Your self-esteem

Your behavior and manners with others

Being honest about who you are and what you need

Projecting yourself

Moving forward with hope

Seeing yourself as the special person you are

This all necessitates you looking outside of your own box, your comfortable routine (you are brilliant your routine), and allowing yourself to be adventurous and open to new routines and expanded horizons.

Even if just for a few short days - a quick trip away will cure your wanderlust and bring bliss.

As long as you can remain open to new plans, take some time out, and keep your feet firmly planted on the ground, you can deal with everyone else's craziness. Nature actually offers you the nurturing you need right now.

If you are in a city, make sure you get out to where plants are growing in the wild!

Actually feel the earth, the soil, with your innate green thumbs.  

Whatever you've been wishing and dreaming about for the future, you can make it happen if you do this. Your planet Mercury goes direct on Friday, August 26.

But it may be another week before you feel youself going direct, and thinking clearly again. Not to worry. Life speeds up incredibly after this.

On Friday, September 9, Mercury enters your sign, combining positive forces with the Sun and Venus already in your first house. A power struggle which has been nagging at you can finally be resolved.

Particularly around the full Harvest Moon on Monday, September 12 in your relationships and contracts house.

In your relationships house you have Chiron retrograde, Ceres retrograde, and a full Harvest Moon on Monday, September 12. You need help here. A resolution will be reached by that date. Something will change for you here.

You have all the planetary power you need to come out on top.

A new Moon ALSO happens in your sign of Virgo on Sunday, August 28, and this is the time to launch anything new and daring. For the next ten days, you are hot as Aphrodite!

You could also be looking at much more money following your brave leap.

If it just weren't for your friends who seem to be struggling - and your compulsion to help them...

And speaking of friends...Saturn has been burdening you in terms of how much you want to help them. The level of your obligation here really needs to be rethought.

Saturn's experience - until October 2012 in your second house of finance and self-worth - lasts a lifetime. Saturn's lessons give you, dear Virgo, the ability to transform you life forever. Within its system of learning you will find all the billion-year-old wisdom you need to know.

Hurting for more cash?

All that old baggage you've been carrying around. How much you deserve to make, bla bla bla. Saturn doesn't let us get away with not healing the old debris.

You are being given the opportunity to clear up all that has not been at rest here. An exciting time is coming up for you, Virgo!  

Dear Virgo, you have been working very hard. I might go so far as to say you've been beating yourself up a little.

It's difficult when you can't play and must worry all the time.

Without a healthy sense of humor, we cannot function in the rest of the world fully.

So it is imperative that this trend reverse. You can no longer turn your head. No longer ignore how you look and appear to others.

This may happen through a sudden shift in your sex life. Or in your money life. Shared resources. Pooled monies.

You see, everything this September is happening to YOU, in your sign, and in your first house.

You're too amazing and special, dear Virgo! And I mean this.

As I write for all Virgo children in my children's astrology book, the world could not run at all without Virgos.

Virgo is the most essential sign there is.

Be proud.
