Virgo

24 Aug – 23 Sep

Date: Friday 28th August 2026

Unpredictability doesn't get to you as it once did: you might even have grown fond of someone who seems to enjoy launching 'side-winders'. Relations with an Aquarius might not run quite so smoothly: a difference in your attitudes toward costs could destabilise this partnership. At work, a new system could test technology and leave you despairing of a manual. Perhaps you should write one?

It might bother you that you haven't been present during certain conversations. All you really need is to understand where each person was coming from. This probably means going back over old ground. To others it might seem that you're being a stickler for rules. In fact, part of today's challenge could be to show that that's not the case – but that you're checking everyone knows the consequences of a decision.

Date: Sunday 30th August 2026

Routine tasks could run away with the day. Yet you might need mind-numbing exercises to give your sub-conscious time to respond to recent events. From December 1st your social life could go into over-drive. Being prepared for action might be no bad thing. It may be difficult to avoid someone known for their negativity or muddled thinking (maybe a Pisces) who seems to need to off-load on you.

Week: Sunday 23rd August – Saturday 29th August 2026

Friday's Lunar Eclipse is in your opposite sign. That event occurs just a day after the Sun and Mercury fuse in your sign. So it seems likely that you will reach a turning point. It may be that you are acutely aware of those you can and those you cannot work with. Those of your sign have a wonderful gift of seeing what could be improved. Your inpit is essential to any team. Yet that team must recognise and appreciate your efforts. It may be that you've felt overlooked. Now may be the time to walk away. You could be tempted to do so by an offer that would require you to work behind the scenes and plan a schedule that would be of value to everyone and that could be implemented soon after the September equinox. Not only might this excite your brain cells, it might also be something that revives a passion that's long been dormant.
