Forecast for Aug. 26 – Sept. 8

By Cortney Litwin / Special to The Malibu Times

Brainpower gets a boost around Sept. 3 as the Sun-Mercury conjunction in Virgo energizes ideas and communications. However, Mercury is retrograde until the 12th, which can cause a misunderstanding or problem with an agreement. In romance, Venus dancing with imaginative Neptune on the 4th heightens idealism and fantasy. Then passion soars after Venus transits into sexy Scorpio on the 8th (through Nov. 6). This influence can cause some tumultuousness by raising issues about jealousy, control or secrecy. Next, the new moon in Virgo on the 8th heralds a fresh start, especially for activities pertaining to work, health and service. Finally, retrograde Jupiter backtracks into into Pisces on the 8th (through Jan. 21), which can awaken your spiritual life and intuition.
