Weekly astrology summary:

We are embarking on quite a cosmically eventful, powerful week. Venus exits stage right and begins the journey through the zodiac sign Virgo on Sept. 19. Connections, relationships, values, and aesthetics take on a more analytical, idealistic, and discerning tone. Disruptions, surprises, and unusual occurrences are possible for the first few days. The second Virgo new moon arrives on Sept. 21st (at 3:54 p.m.), which is also a partial solar eclipse. It’ll be visible for only a small portion of the world in the South Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and Antarctica. There is a gravity to this second Virgo new moon that wasn’t present during the first on Aug. 23. The personal queries and hints I included for each horoscope that week are integrated into the horoscopes this week, with guidance for working with the energies present on a deeper level. Find The Cosmic Connection for the week of Aug. 21-27 online at shorelocalnews.com.

There’s tension in the sky this week coming from personal planets challenging outer planets in new ways, adding to the intensity and generally chaotic feeling of an already intense eclipse season. These tensions can be experienced as power struggles and conflicts both personally and collectively, locally and globally. There are also underlying energies present to support dialogue, problem-solving, and diplomacy in developing creative solutions and destined paths for progress. Focus on harnessing the supporting energies! The highlighted element of air gifts us the ability to take a deep breath, get centered, and think before reacting or speaking. Mars shifts into Scorpio and the equinox arrives on Sept. 22 with the sun’s shift into the zodiac sign Libra. Balance is always a major theme at the equinoxes and is also a presiding theme throughout the entire week. See the above horoscope for your rising sign for more specific insight and guidance.
