A promising month
The Sun transits in dissonance in the fourth field in Virgo , where it meets the New Moon as early as August 23rd. Mercury is very fast this month, in fact it remains in sextile in the third field in Leo until September 3rd, after which it transits in square in Virgo until the 18th and then begins a trine in Libra . Venus will also be in Leo from August 26th while Mars continues its trine in Libra . As for the slower planets, they involve all the first degrees with harmonious transits: the trine of Pluto in Aquarius , the sextile of Saturn and Neptune in Aries , the conjunct of Uranus in Gemini . Overall, you have a promising month ahead of you, with interesting opportunities to exploit on the best days: for example, August 24th and 29th, September 2nd, 11th, 12th, 16th and 20th. Some more confusing moments are possible, especially on August 23 and 31, August 7, 8, 13 and 14.
The many faces of Mercury
The square of your ruling planet, starting September 3, may bother you a little, but only to the extent that Mercury in Virgo invites you to a pragmatic approach, when perhaps you'd still like something lighthearted. It's no coincidence that the change in transit (from a lively sextile to a responsible square ) coincides with the resumption of daily activities, feeling more or less abrupt depending on whether you've already finished your holidays or have just returned. In any case, you'll need to work to get back into your usual routine, especially avoiding wasting energy on complaining or annoyed reactions, but instead drawing on your spontaneous abilities of adaptation and flexibility. On the other hand, it may seem paradoxical that Mercury is so strongly positioned and at ease in your sign as it is in Virgo , but ultimately it's an apparent contradiction, explained by the very nature of the planet, which is dual, if not multiple! Mercury is indeed a symbol of communication, exchange, movement, and curiosity, and in this sense it is at its best in your sign... but it can also be (and certainly is in Virgo ) clarity, method, analytical and critical thinking. Being able to embrace these different aspects, to integrate them or at least to experience their usefulness, will therefore be the challenge to accept and perhaps the opportunity to seize, in a month that also offers other valuable resources. In short, precisely because you will have plenty of moments of relaxation and leisure, making an extra effort shouldn't tire you too much!

In short, returning to domestic and work activities may not be easy at first, at least judging by Mercury 's square ; yet the Venus sextile and Mars trine still seem to offer a beautiful synergy of passion, enthusiasm, and creativity. Indeed, it will likely be your private life (personal, social, relational) that will attract your attention and repay it with moments of enrichment and satisfaction. Precisely for this reason, you will struggle to concentrate on duties, also due to an instinctive refusal to substitute them for pleasures. But obviously that's not the point: you know well that one thing doesn't exclude the other, and so it's a matter of finding a balance between excesses and shortcomings, between desires and needs, between what makes you responsible and what gratifies you. Which doesn't always (or only) have to do with the contexts that involve you emotionally or affectively: at work, too, you could express yourself creatively, and your relationships with colleagues could be a source of stimulation. If anything, it will be necessary to maintain sufficient mental and operational organization to produce results. This also applies to your partner, friends, or family—that is, in any situation where the pleasure of sharing can replace sincere dialogue, honest, and possibly ongoing discussion. The risk, in fact, includes not only potential misunderstandings but also a disproportionate focus on what you think, feel, or want compared to what others think, feel, or want, especially those closest to you.
First decade
The slow-moving planets support you, encouraging you towards constructive changes and stimulating projects. Mercury 's swift square , from September 3rd to 7th, won't disrupt this creative atmosphere too much, as long as you pay a little attention to work or family matters. In short, before making decisions, it's best to reflect or consult with someone.
Second decade
Jupiter in your upper field is reassuring financially, and Venus 's sextile from September 3rd to 11th also enlivens your social and emotional life, warming your heart with beautiful emotions! Mercury 's square from the 7th to the 12th suggests keeping any excessive expenses under control, perhaps superfluous ones or those related to your home or family.
Third decade
Mars is in trine from September 7th to 22nd, Venus in sextile from the 11th to the 19th, while Mercury —a faster-moving figure—is in square only from the 13th to the 18th. Overall, the sky is clear, illuminating days that are still cheerful and lively. Even at work, you'll feel pleasantly stimulated. New acquaintances, collaboration proposals, and interesting ideas to explore are possible: don't rush.
