Getting through the Venus retrograde cycle that begins on October 5 is only a matter of patience, Sagittarius. You’re a fire sign who wants to go, go, go, but a retrograde period is a time to slow down and reflect. Use your downtime to go over money matters that need your attention. A Mercury-Uranus opposition on the tenth quickens the pace, however, and your busy schedule has you running around town without any time to spare. You love this upbeat tempo, but if you overlook some of the details it could come back to bite you later. The fast pace continues during the Mercury-Mars square on October 19, but this time hurrying communication issues could end in disaster. Are you sure your text went through or that you didn’t send an e-mail peppered with typos to your boss? Again, Sagittarius, the details matter. A Mercury-Jupiter conjunction on the twenty-ninth helps you combine work and play, and the harder you work, the more fun you have. Is this the magical combination you’ve been looking for? Following your bliss has never been more lucrative!

Excitement isn’t the main theme as September begins. You’re likely to use very technical terms and dull vocab when Mercury enters precise Virgo on September 5, which might not make you the most intriguing person around. If you have to give a speech or you have a date planned, you might want to think up some interesting stuff to talk about beforehand so you don’t bore your audience! Venus enters passionate Scorpio on the ninth, putting out an “all or nothing” energy. You play for keeps and don’t easily give up during this intense transit. The Mercury-Jupiter sextile on September 16 favors forward thinking, so when you envision the future, what do you see? It’s never too early to start making plans because “someday” is going to be here before you know it! Talkative Mercury enters lofty Libra on the twenty-first, giving you excellent negotiation and listening skills. Your attentiveness to what other people want helps you keep the peace during some stressful situations. The Mercury-Mars trine on September 23 improves mental agility and helps you concentrate on the task at hand. Other people will be amazed by your ability to shut out distractions and focus on what needs to be done.

The sun squares your ruler Jupiter on August 6, which is both a positive and a negative. You’ll feel like you can conquer the world, but that very confidence could cause you to fail. Try not to waste any energy on what-ifs. You either will or you won’t - there’s very little in-between. A Venus-Saturn retrograde square on the ninth could add stress to relationships, so while you push to spend time with the person you love or are interested in, it would probably be more productive to spend some time apart. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and it keeps you from the drama that physical closeness can create. A gentle Jupiter-Neptune retrograde trine on August 19 makes it virtually impossible for you to ignore someone in need, but when is it enough? Giving too much of yourself can lead to martyrdom, which kind of defeats the purpose of helping in the first place. Strive for balance between giving and taking. Mercury (direct on the nineteenth - whew!) forms a square to lucky Jupiter on August 28, creating some very high hopes for the future. But don’t focus so much on what’s to come that you miss out on what’s right in front of you.

There’s a lucky start to the month with a powerful trine between the sun and Jupiter retrograde on July 5, urging you to make the very most of your good fortune. If it feels like the breaks are going your way most of the time, you can thank this fortunate transit. Sitting back and enjoying the happy energy is tempting, but you’ll get further by applying some hard work to the equation. A tense square between Mercury and Jupiter retrograde on the ninth makes you look to the future, but hopes can be easily dashed when you don’t like what you see. Try to take one step at a time instead of running full force toward your goal. The tests and obstacles you encounter along the way are there for a reason. The moon visits your adventurous sign on the twenty-second and twenty-third, and you need a lot of stimulation to keep you going. Your emotional well-being depends on how much mental and physical stimulation you get, so visiting avant-garde museums and taking spontaneous trips to unusual places are excellent ways to fill your soul. The full moon lunar eclipse on July 27 reminds you that life is one big circle, and when one cycle ends, another begins. Whatever life throws your way, hold on to as much optimism as you can manage.
