September 4

Mars square Jupiter

Virgo is a zodiac sign that prides itself on lining all its ducks up in a row. And with Mercury entering Virgo on September 2d, you can be sure that those ducks are color-coded and organized by tail feathers. It’s a great way to begin September, being prepared and organized like this, except that Mercury will be forming a square to Uranus on Sept. 3d. Uranus, planet of revolution and change, is certain to ruffle a lot of feathers, however no sooner does it square Mercury then Uranus will be turning retrograde on September 6th. It’s analogous to a boss walking into your office and telling you that everything on a project has to be changed and then leaving for a weeks’ long vacation. Obviously you’re going to have to deal with the fall-out from the Mercury/Uranus square, but keep the plans for that project, endeavor, or pitch in your back pocket because you will either be returning to it in the upcoming weeks or repurposing it in some creative or inventive way. Signs most affected: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces
