Virgo Horoscope for September 2013

The stars are inclining in your favor, Virgo, although you might not know it yet; it's a very special birthday season that is upon you. Only a possible series of difficult interactions between you and significant partners could slow you down, and yet this simultaneously represents your opportunity for growth. In terms of relationship, you could perhaps encounter some degree of confusion as to what is truly going on, detect a tendency on your part toward self-deception or bask in the glory of a lovely illusion that could turn out to perfectly match up with the ultimate reality that you experience. This is all happing in the context of massive ongoing identity shifts so that it helps to remind yourself that you, after all, are your most important product.

As the month begins, you are self-involved, in a good way. You are particularly aware of the winding down of this lunation cycle that began early in the previous month, especially since it has been going through a most intense last quarter phase that was kicked off in the middle of the last week of August when your ruler, Mercury, in conjunction with the Sun, aspected both nebulous Neptune and transformative Pluto as they occupied key sectors of your solar chart. With Neptune in your relationship sector, and greatly triggered by the current configurations, you have been experiencing all manner of different energies, and concepts of connection, surrounding the idea of partnership with significant others in your life.

The archetypal presence of Chiron, the Wounded Healer, looms large as well in your relationship sector. This could be in symbolic synchronicity with partnership issues that arise now and that remind you of old childhood woundings from an earlier time. Even though long past and gone, this ancient trauma has the power to affect you in terms of current patterns of relationship interaction. At times you might be tempted to play the blame game and find fault with someone "out there" other than yourself; if so, it is by recognizing where your own triggers have been activated that you can begin to journey within, and observe more closely those places inside you that you have kept hidden away from the light of day and from your more conscious awareness. By simply acknowledging these patterns, and the darker places within you, you have taken a major step forward on the road to healing these wounded parts of yourself and moving beyond them

This is especially true because the transformative planetary archetype of Pluto is activated now, increasingly over the next few weeks and months. Pluto is the force for change that comes directly upward to your more conscious awareness through the agency of your deep and relatively unconscious desire nature. This concept of self-renewal is facilitated by the placement of the Sun, together with your ruler, Mercury, in the identity sector of your solar chart. This includes the Sun's New Moon moment of increased glory later on this first week. Meanwhile, Pluto currently resides in your fifth sector, also representing your creative identity. Pluto is in trine with the New Moon, therefore highlighted, and is also aspected by Mars, Mercury and Saturn so that you find the transformational pressure to change all through the mid-month period leading up to the September 19th Full Moon.

The greatly highlighted presence of genius trickster Uranus can also be of great assistance in your efforts at transforming stuck places within your psyche. Uranus is activated right along with Pluto, and it allows you to understand, in lightening-like flashes of inspiration, exactly how you are held in relative stasis. The door opens for a brief moment in this late 2013 period of time, and if you have the motivation, and the courage, to step through it at that time, you can effect lasting change in your life.
