\"balance\"<\/a><\/b>Wow, what a cruddy couple of weeks I’ve had. Lots of stress and fatigue following the death of a friend, and all around me others have been going through a similar spell of bad luck and loss.<\/p>\n

What exactly is going on?! Is it the series of Uranus-Pluto squares the Astrologers keep referring to? Is it the combination of the Sun and Mercury both in super critical Virgo, combined with harsh aspects?<\/p>\n

I can’t be sure — I’m not pro enough to figure it out entirely — but I can say that my own life was sailing along smoothly until the very two days (August 22-23) of this cosmic shift into Virgo.<\/p>\n

I’ve never been a huge fan of Virgo — its energy is way too practical and perfect and meddlesome for my preferred fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants, live-and-let-live lifestyle. But I can’t really blame Virgo, can I?<\/p>\n

I’ve been watching my horoscope carefully every day now, hoping for some reprieve. And according to Astrologer Maria DeSimone, this might be the week I get it — fingers crossed.<\/p>\n

There’s still a lot of chaos in the cosmos this week, but there are also bright spots for romance and communication.<\/p>\n

Mercury moves into Libra today (Monday, Sept. 9), so it should balance out our thinking — which will ease stress — and it will also improve communication because it will be easier to see where other people are coming from.<\/p>\n

The rest of the week is filled with some ups and downs, but plenty of passion and maybe even a chance to make some money, honey!<\/p>\n
