Whenever your actual birthday falls, with the Sun always spending the first three weeks of September in Virgo, this is your birthday month and the start of a new solar year. This year you have a mix of the ordinary and some twists that make for an interesting start to the month, as well as making it important to keep your mind and your options open. The ordinary is that this is when you will always be moving into a new solar year, as is having Mercury here, helping you keep your head in the game until he leaves Virgo on 11th September. Not a game changer, though not the norm either, is that Venus has not only moved through, but left weeks before the Sun even returned. Venus is at a point in her cycle where she is so far out in front of the Sun and that is set to have exciting implications on the income and communication fronts, but means she has long since left Virgo, though not before giving your heart a voice. An interesting and exciting twist is that the Sun and Mercury are connecting with planets on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence that are also getting ready to leave. Meanwhile, making it important to keep your mind and your options open and that includes right up to and after the Sun leaves on 23rd September, is that by this point Mars is still two months away from his first visit to Virgo in two years. Meanwhile, while Venus made an early return to your income sector last month and has already kicked off the most lucrative months of 2026, by the time she leaves on 10th September, she will be slowing ahead of a retrograde turn that will see her return again next month. With Mercury not only returning on 11th September and the Sun on 23rd September, but both benefiting from the relationship that Venus has already formed with planets on the job and career fronts, they will be able to keep the seat warm until she returns next month. Meanwhile, Venus is off to have the same early and extended impact on the communication front, with her return to your communication sector beginning her longest mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice in eight years.
