Welcome to the weekly astrology forecast for August 31 – September 6. This week brings three major astrological events that invite fresh energy and momentum into our lives. First on the calendar is a Full Moon, followed by two planetary sign changes that will shift how we communicate and how we express love.
The Full Moon occurs Tuesday in the Earth sign of Virgo, encouraging adjustments to daily routines, schedules, and projects so they better support your needs and sense of purpose. Expect practical refinements that make everyday life more efficient and meaningful.
When planets ingress—move from one sign into another—the areas of life they influence take on the flavor of the new sign. Think of it as changing the setting where a familiar scene plays out: the same themes, but dressed differently. This week’s ingresses will highlight communication and romance, making both more noticeable and entertaining.
Words Become More Beautiful
On Saturday, Mercury, the planet of communication, enters Libra. Conversations take on a more polished, diplomatic, and artistic tone. Libra’s influence helps us weigh words carefully and speak with charm and balance, making this an excellent time for negotiations, creative expression, and social interactions. Mercury’s stay in Libra runs through September 27, 2020, so seize the opportunity to refine how you present ideas and connect with others.
Love Shifts & Changes
On Sunday, Venus moves into Leo, bringing confidence, warmth, and a playful boldness to love and relationships. Leo’s energy encourages visible affection, dramatic gestures, and taking more charismatic risks in romance. Dress in a way that reflects your true self, enjoy the spotlight when it feels right, and let your generosity and confidence attract positive attention. Venus will transit Leo until October 2, 2020.
