As we enter Virgo season, we become more pragmatic and take the time to tend to our mind-body connection with clarity and focus
ARIES

TAURUS

CANCER

You are ready to turn a new page, and bring a renewed sense of identity and personal stamina to the upcoming year. The remainder of September emphasises how you share yourself in relationships, dear Virgo, and it may be time to take note of where you are martyring yourself for someone else's cause.

LIBRA
