Forecast for Aug. 29-Sept. 11
By Cortney Litwin/Staff Writer
A benevolent grand trine of progressive Uranus, responsible Saturn and affectionate Venus beginning Tuesday for about a week indicates an upswing in clear communications, and a boost for businesses, technology and relationships on the brink of commitment. Just watch out for an abrupt shift when transformative Pluto spars with the Sun on the 7th.
The New Moon in pragmatic Virgo on the 6th urges you toward service-related activities and that exercise program you’ve been procrastinating about. On the more idealistic side, spiritual Neptune aligns with patriotic Jupiter on Sept. 11, ringing in this unforgettable anniversary with memorable sentiments of compassion and unity.
