VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It is a year of personal power. You believe in yourself, you have faith in yourself, and for the first time in a very long time you are willing to go out on a limb and declare your own unique brand of specialness. It is your sheer trust in yourself that makes you a powerful force to be reckoned with.

Efforts to promote yourself and your projects are especially well received. If you have children, they are likely to be a source of great news, especially in the first part of the year. Work and employment improves notably in the second half of the year.

In love, relationships can be the source of great healing, clearing you of insecurities you’ve held onto for too long. The early part of the year welcomes more than one surprising adrenaline rush of attraction at first sight.
