As we move further from the cold gray of winter and through the soggy thaw of spring, the golden glow of the summer sun with its healing warmth awaits just around the bend. Cancer season is a time when we can soak up not only the penetrating rays from our brightest celestial neighbor but also the near medicinal energy of this powerful water sign.
Now, I will warn you, Venus does get hammered by Saturn and Uranus later in the month, but overall, it’s much easier. So, we can all breathe a sigh of relief.
Welcome to Virgo Season…
In kabbalah, Virgo is the month of Elul, and it is the cosmic month of repentance (Teshuvah). Teshuvah is when we take time to acknowledge our negative actions throughout the year, understand the root cause of those negative actions, make amends when necessary, and try not to make the same mistakes in the future.
But why should we go through this arduous process?
Virgo is an earth sign concerned with the physical world, natural laws, and how the real world works. Therefore, Virgo is naturally associated with jobs, tasks, responsibilities, and rituals.
In the ancient world, Virgo was associated with servants. Although we are not servants in a technical sense, we should take care of ourselves, manage our lives, and be productive members of society. So, while we are in Virgo season, it is necessary for us to look at the areas of our lives that need management, what needs to be repaired, and what needs to be nurtured. Making our lives more efficient helps us access the positive dimensions of the sign, and in doing so, we make amends to the person that needs it the most – ourselves!
1. Practical Magic: One of our biggest problems is our ability to complicate things. In our quest for the biggest, baddest, super-duper, mother-of-all spells, we can put so many ingredients in the pot that we ruin the stew. During Virgo season, it’s better to work magic in its simplest form. So, back to basics. With that said, I am going to recommend only one item for this type of magic – Witches Brew Original Candle (or oil).
2. Herbal Magic: So, picture this, you go to prepare a nice dinner and you open your spice cabinet and pull out all kinds of spices to make your meal delicious. But did you know all those spices have magical properties? Well, surprise, they do! Cinnamon heats things up; Rosemary can be used for protection, love magic, and staying young; and even ground coffee can be used to dispel negative thoughts. The next time you build a spell, put those herbs to work. Bon Appetit!

3. Purification Magic: The sign of Virgo is associated with cleanliness – although, I’ve met many Virgoans that hate cleaning, but the need for an orderly universe is important to them. This is a great month to purify and sterilize all your magical tools and dispel negative energies from your personal space. So, get out those magic wash packets, your uncrossing candles, and magical sprays, and just get it done!

4. Healing Magic: Have something that ‘Ails Ya’? Well, since Virgo is associated with health (that means diet and exercise, as well), this is a wonderful time of the year to do healing magic both internally and psychologically.
Recommended: Uncrossing (Motor City Hoodoo), Outta My Way (Dorothy Morrison’s Wicked Witch Mojo, Healing (Blessed Herbal).
5. Work and Career Magic: Need a job, promotion, or just want to put your boss in his place? Need some magical help ensuring that your projects will be successful? Well, this is the month to set those intentions. Spend some time journaling the results you would like to achieve, and then get to work – magically speaking.

Mercury Interruptus
We interrupt our regular astrological forecasting, to bring you this update from our Cosmic Storm Center (the CSC) -- and yes, every pun intended!
On September 27, 2021, Mercury will turn retrograde in relationship-oriented Libra. Communication issues, especially in relationships, will be plenty. Avoid making major decisions, check and recheck travel plans, and backup electronic devices. Mercury goes into “shadow mode” on September the 7th and will remain retrograde until October 18, 2021.
The good news is that we will be stocked up on Mercury Retrograde Neutralizer Candles but get your orders in because they go fast. Also, just a heads up, this packaging will become a collector's edition, because the labels will change soon.
Now, on with our regularly scheduled programming.
New Moon Magic
The New Moon this month occurs in the sign of Virgo on September 6th. This New Moon is about putting your life in order. It’s an excellent month to develop systems, focus on health and personal well-being, hire staff, and even to find a new job. So, use this energy to create order out of chaos and build a strong and more durable you.

Full Moon Magic
The Full Moon occurs on September 20th in the sign of Pisces. Get out your snorkel, it’s time to swim. Your intuitive faculties will be at their peak, so it’s time to do magic that will help you enhance your intuition and focus on your dreams, meditation, and connecting with spirit. You can also use this energy to increase your creativity.

August 30, 2021 – September 5, 2021
The beginning of the week starts off with Mercury moving out of Virgo and into Libra. Mercury in Libra needs to socialize and debate in order to make informed choices and decisions. Just be careful that other people do not overly influence your judgment or your decisions.
On Thursday, Mars opposes Neptune in Pisces. Energy levels will plummet leaving you feeling disoriented and unmotivated. Avoid becoming overly frustrated by life’s circumstances because it may lead to distrusting others.
Over the weekend, Mercury forms a lovely trine to Saturn. It’s an excellent time to complete projects or tasks that require mental discipline and focus. However, beware on Sunday because Venus squares Pluto. Intense emotions could lead to relationship issues, especially if you try to hold onto a relationship too tightly. Trying to control situations could make matters worse.

September 6, 2021 – September 12, 2021
The bulk of the energy occurs at the beginning of the week with a New Moon in Virgo and three planetary aspects – Mars trine Pluto, Venus trine Jupiter, and the Sun trine Uranus. All of these aspects are positive, which is a great relief after the intense energies of July and August. Anything you put effort into will be successful as long as you do not get out of control or unfocused. Take some time to explore new opportunities and be original.
Towards the middle of the week, the Moon moves through relationship-oriented Libra. It’s a great week to collaborate on projects and work towards improving your connection with others. Also, if you want to start a new relationship, now is the time to explore your options.
On Friday, and over the weekend, Venus switches signs and moves into Scorpio. Venus in Scorpio provides us with an opportunity to shed our superficial skin and connect on a deeper level in relationships. Intimacy with others will be important.

September 13, 2021 – September 19, 2021
The cosmic energy this week begins on Tuesday as the Sun opposes Neptune. This is a low-energy sort of day, and you may feel confused and uncertain about the future. Try to stay out of victim mindsets because they will only lead to feelings of doubt about your world and the major players in it. Later on Tuesday, Mars moves into Libra, and he provides a small energy boost that can help break Neptune’s spell. Focusing on your feelings and connecting to your inner being may relieve some of the anxiety of Sun oppose Neptune.
Later in the week, the Sun trines Pluto on Thursday. Sun trine Pluto gives us the needed energy to discover what we want out of our lives and is easier energy than the Sun’s opposition to Neptune. Since Pluto likes to transform any planet he aspects, he helps us make the changes necessary so that our lives feel more fulfilled and have meaning. However, it’s best to make major decisions that have an impact on your life rather than ones that supply only temporary happiness.
Finally, this weekend, Venus squares frustrating Saturn. You may need to take a deep look at your relationships and whether or not your personal needs are being met in them. You may find it difficult to relate to others and this could make you feel insecure. It’s best to face relationship issues head-on and work towards a positive resolution than allowing them to fester and become toxic.

September 20, 2021 – September 26, 2021
This week is a mixed bag of tricks, cosmically speaking. We start off with a Full Moon in Pisces (see above) and a beautiful aspect (a trine) between Mercury and Jupiter. If you need to sign contracts or secure a deal, take advantage of this opportunity before Mercury turns retrograde next week. Otherwise, you will spend the first part of the week focused on the future and your mood should be rather optimistic.
Despite the lighthearted energy at the beginning of the week, Wednesday and Thursday will bring a double dose of trouble as Mercury squares Pluto and Venus opposes Uranus. Be careful when interacting with others on Wednesday because Mercury square Pluto can spawn arguments if you are feeling frustrated with the people around you. The best way to work with this energy is to look within at what you can change about yourself rather than attempting to force your will upon others. On Thursday, Venus opposes Uranus in Taurus. Unresolved tensions in relationships could lead to sudden upsets and disappointments. Avoid starting new relationships at this time.
The ray of sunshine midweek may be quite literal as the Sun moves out of Virgo and into Libra. Although tensions may be high, the Sun in Libra may be balanced enough that people respond to energies proactively rather than reactively.
This weekend, it’s time to get the job done as energetic Mars trines Saturn. You will easily be able to take care of duties and obligations under this influence. Focus on activities that need immediate attention.

September 27, 2021 – October 3, 2021
The final week of September is action-packed and filled with energy with 6 planetary aspects and Mercury the trickster god turns retrograde.
Check your plans, back up electronic devices, and avoid signing contracts starting on Monday because Mercury turns retrograde in Libra. You can expect the ‘dreaded exes’ to flood out of their caves and business rivals to be up to their usual tricks. Avoid getting distracted with pettiness.
During the middle of the week, the Sun forms a lovely trine to Saturn in Aquarius. This is a great time to create order by developing systems that help your life run more effectively. Taking care of responsibilities should be relatively easy but keep your eye on communications with others because Mercury can befuddle the best of agreements.
This weekend, problems or difficulties with others may resurface as Mercury once again squares power-hungry Pluto. In this case, arguments and debates will accomplish little, so it’s best to walk away.

At Coventry, this is not just a gimmick but part of the recipe. We watch the lunar progression through the celestial bodies of the zodiac and schedule our candle production accordingly. Why do we do that, you ask? It’s because the moon influences our planet so intimately it can affect the outcome of our day-to-day lives.
