TOKYO GINZA Astrology

This month brings a renewed appreciation of the value in what you already have: knowledge you have used for years, methods you have quietly developed, things you keep choosing simply because you love them. Someone else may be surprised by something you take entirely for granted. The Sun and New Moon in the 2nd house highlight talent and money, while Mars and Jupiter in the 12th house energize preparation behind the scenes. Later in the month, the focus moves to conversation and learning. What has long been part of your life begins to connect you with other people and a wider world.

September brings room for what you want to do next alongside everything you have already done. The Sun in Virgo and the New Moon around the 11th illuminate you and your 1st house. In work or private life, letting people see something you want may change the way they respond. There is room for interests you have yet to explore as well as the roles you already handle well. With energy for joining forces, you may enjoy taking part before you have perfected everything on your own. Later in the month, the focus shifts to your skills and how you use your money, while closer collaborations begin to show results. A step you choose for yourself can become the source of new value.

The results you show in public cannot tell the whole story of what makes you interesting this month. The New Moon and solar eclipse in Leo around the 12th fall in the 12th house, the area of ideas and inner activity that have yet to be shared. You may want to spend time on an idea you have not decided to develop, or an interest that does not appear on your business card. Quiet preparation need not mean sitting at home waiting. There is pleasure in visiting somewhere that interests you without announcing your plans, or making a prototype entirely to your own taste. Later in the month, relationships begin to offer answers, and you may become clearer about what you want to show and to whom.

New possibilities arrive in your work or public life as the month begins. Mars and Uranus come together in the 10th house, encouraging you to act in a different role or try a different method. You may have intended to think things through before joining in, only to discover the appeal by getting involved. Midmonth brings a chance to begin making plans with others. Venus enters Virgo around the 9th, and letting your tastes show becomes part of your charm. Meanwhile, the Sun and Jupiter in the latter part of the month enrich pleasures you have yet to share. July gives you room to develop both the capable person others know and the person absorbed in interests of your own.

You become clearer about what you would like to be entrusted with in your work or other activities. The Sun in the 10th house and the New Moon around the 15th create opportunities to show others what your experience has given you. Presenting past achievements could lead to a conversation about what comes next. Around the 9th, your social circle may also expand in welcome ways, revealing someone's appeal beyond what you know of them through work. The pleasure of having your skills appreciated and the enjoyment of spending time with people you like: this month offers room for both. From the end of the month, you also begin to develop an ambitious idea privately, before showing it to anyone else.

Travel and specialist learning may change even what you enjoy about work this month. The Sun in Taurus in the 9th house, along with the New Moon around the 16th, opens a way into a world you have yet to explore. The experience itself may be what excites you, whether you are learning from someone knowledgeable or visiting a place you have long wanted to see. Someone you worked closely with in April could introduce you to that world. Later in the month, fresh ideas about your role and how you present your work make you want to use a method you encountered elsewhere. You do not simply want to know more: you want to try what you have learned on a project of your own. May could send you home with that rather enjoyable assignment.

This month, what you make may become more interesting when someone else adds their skills and sensibility. The planets gathering in Aries in the 8th house illuminate deep trust and shared plans. You might keep working on a creative project with each person responsible for their own part, or listen to someone close to you speak frankly as you decide on a future together. There is something satisfying about that kind of progress. Your own skills and tastes become clearer early in the month; midmonth, it is time to combine them with what another person can bring. Later, knowledge from beyond your familiar world begins to suggest new directions for your work. Leaving room for ideas you would never have had on your own adds to the pleasure of the month.
