What feels different now

Love isn’t loud. It is in the gentle brush of skin, the small favors, the apologies spoken. Grand romantic gestures are muted under a spotlight of realism. Venus enters Virgo on September 19, shifting love, beauty, and value into a lens of critique, care, and daily presence.

Small truths revealed. The Sun & Moon’s dance is sharpening our awareness. A solar eclipse in Virgo happens on September 21, pushing us to release what’s no longer useful: old patterns, habits, and beliefs that have been hiding in plain sight.

The internal vs the external. As Venus in Virgo asks “how” instead of just “what,” there’s a pull between perfectionism and letting things breathe. Between wanting to polish every edge and being okay with rough, raw edges. There’s also a transit right now of Jupiter in Punarvasu Phase-III (from ~Sept 19 to Oct 18) that’s gently nudging us toward renewal, clarity, and balancing growth with patience.

✨ What to Lean Into

Daily rituals & self-care: It’s not about a huge ritual. It’s about consistency. A quiet meditation before bed. A soft affirmation in the mirror. A skin care routine that feels divine (like painting soft moonlight on your skin).

Decluttering mind + space: Virgo’s eclipse energy often wants us to sweep out the corners — physically, mentally, emotionally. What things, people, routines feel like they clutter your soul?

Observe what love looks like in action: Listen to how people show care. Notice what love gestures feel like, not just what they say. Under this transit, actions might matter more than words.

Gentle truth-telling: Maybe with yourself first. What are the small lies you tell to smooth the edges? What perfectionism are you carrying? Allow a crack for vulnerability.

Most Affected Signs / Houses

1. Virgo placements (esp. Sun, Moon, Rising, Venus, 1st/7th/10th houses)

Why: Venus and an eclipse both lighting up Virgo = direct spotlight.

Impact:

Venus: Love, money, and aesthetics under a microscope. You may crave refinement, routine, and honest love over romanticized illusions. Relationships might feel tender if flaws get magnified.

Eclipse: Identity reset. Something about how you show up daily, or how others perceive you, could shift fast. Old habits, even ones that felt safe, are being stripped away.

2. Pisces placements (Sun, Moon, Rising, 1st/7th house axis)

Why: Virgo is your opposite sign, and eclipses always rock the relationship axis.

Impact:

Venus in Virgo: Partners, friends, even enemies reveal truths. You may suddenly see what kind of love you actually want vs. what you idealize.

Eclipse: Relationship contracts (literal or emotional) may shift suddenly. Breakthroughs, breakups, or new bonds. It’s about learning balance between your dreamy expansiveness and Virgo’s grounded details.

3. Mutable signs (Gemini + Sagittarius placements, esp. Sun, Moon, Rising, 4th/10th axis)

Why: Virgo energy squares Gemini/Sagittarius, creating friction that sparks change.

Impact:

Gemini: Career vs. home life tension surfaces. Eclipse may force a decision about work direction or living arrangements. Venus brings analysis paralysis in relationships.

Bad news, babes. The Sun is all about centering, ego, personal power, the glowing throne of identity. Uranus? He’s a barefoot anarchist with lightning in his pockets and a one-way ticket to Oz, dragging Dorothy and the whole damn house through the storm.

This year, the fusion party crashes right into Algol, the infamous demon star in Taurus—a celestial guillotine that loves nothing more than beheading your most cherished goals.

This isn't just spicy astro for control freaks or power players. Even those who’ve been peacefully marinating on their fifth point of contact? Consider your "stability" on fire.

What to do about it? If you’ve mastered Zen or Dao, congratulations—you don’t need advice. For the rest of us: let go. Don’t carry heavy things (literally or emotionally), and don’t try to "figure it all out." This is the aspect of de-throning, so take a note from the Mad Hatter. Destroy meaning with nonsense. Be a glorious chaos gremlin between May 17–19. Your to-do list can wait.

Starting big projects during this transit? It’s like planting petunias in an active volcano. Cute idea. Doomed effort.

July 24, Mars reached the 15º♈️, this starts the segment of his retrograde ‘shadow’. You might want to keep a journal on the events, circumstances, people you meet, situations and especially your own energy level, and yes, your anger spurs – if any, because Mars will come back here around November 14, and you’ll revisit and reconsider them in some way.

Venus inconjunct Jupiter and square Neptune are forming and will perfect July 27, 2020. Venus may be over romantic these days, to the point of idealizing another person. Also, it could cloud a financial situation. Your desires and values are probably more spiritual, and you may expand your social activity with your grace and charm. You may over extend yourself to please others or become extremely indulgent or generous, just to gain appreciation. On the other hand you may receive valuable or pricey gifts from an admirer, or loved one. Conversely, since a quincunx is an energy relationship of incongruence, with two qualities that have nothing in common, there may be the case that you tend to hoard money and objects of pleasure in an attempt to ‘confirm’ your self-worth. This way, you may show how little you value yourself and project it on someone else. This is a planetary aspect of conflictive imbalance, probably frustrating that needs analysis and re-evaluation.

The Jupiter Neptune sextile will also perfect on July 27. It is not a given energy, but an open door for those who are inclined to use it, have affinity with it, and do something about it. It gives a high degree of spiritual expansion and interest. For example, if you are someone who usually meditate, you may have an enlightening experience this week. If you are generally involved in charitable work or service, you will certainly have opportunities to do so during this period. As you go about any of your spiritual practices, you will show more kindness, compassion or become active in a humanitarian cause, or in the protection of vulnerable people. This energy favors those who work in hospitals, prisons, mental health institutions, group houses for the disabled, or those who live in ashrams, monasteries, other places of retreat. In fact, there is a possibility that greater number of people choose to isolate voluntarily. However, if you are someone who consciously work to live a spiritual life, you may have now a spiritual experience that expands your mystical connection with the cosmos, the spiritual realm, and may become receptive to the collective unconscious vibrations. With any of those instances, you may find yourself expanding your boundaries too much, with a danger of letting people use you and abuse you. But, if you follow a spiritual guide, a guru, a religious leader, you may also receive inspirational messages, or spiritual guidance. Make it a great day! Sat Nam
