TRANSITS TO SUN IN VIRGO 2025

We posted an article on August 20 about the general attributes of Sun in Virgo. Read here: https://www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-virgo-2025  

Today we will review some of the transits that will influence those with their Sun in Virgo over the coming year.

 

Transiting Mercury is in the sign of Virgo from September 2-19, 2025 while transiting Venus is in Virgo from September 19 through to October 13, 2025.  They will not make a conjunction with one another, but as they move through Virgo, they will make connections to all those with their Sun in the sign of Virgo. 

 

Transiting Pluto is in the early degrees of Aquarius and will stay in this sign for many years to come. Pluto will make aspect to some Sun in Virgo by Quincunx. Check your chart for the appropriate degree (150°) to see if your chart is influenced. The orb of approaching Pluto to those influenced is 4-5° while the separating influence is about 2°.

 

The Conjunction of Mercury affects the areas of communication, interaction, your thought process and can indicate short trips.  Mercury is often tied to teaching/learning, all education and is intense when it comes to communication of all sorts.  Mercury rules both Virgo and Gemini.

 

When Mercury connects with the Virgoan’s Sun, for about 7 days, you will perhaps ingulf yourself in deep thought, and communicate with yourself ideas that may further your goals in life.  Perhaps you are preparing for schooling or may educate yourself and learn the use of specific tools that may help you professionally.  The Mercury contact is a good time for educating yourself, open communication with others and evaluating what you might want to do as you move forward in your quest for understanding and knowledge.

 

When Venus interacts with your Virgoan Sun, (which also lasts approximately 7 days) you might want to include what you were planning with your friends and associates.  Perhaps the planning process is now in the organization stage.  Socializing is often a part of the process, and you may find yourself more involved with others, perhaps entertaining them or going to gatherings. 

 

For some, this can be a time of love and affection.  Perhaps you meet someone under this influence and decide to allow the relationship to develop and you share affection.  Perhaps the next step is in order.  Much will depend on the houses involved in your chart for both Mercury as well as Venus while in aspect.  These will be the areas of life being influenced by the energies.

 

When Pluto enters the scene, it will be a long-lasting aspect that will play an important role in your life lasting several years and usually not fully understood for about 2 years.  Pluto is about transformation and regeneration.  It can indicate power problems or struggles associated with your goals in life, or a need to make changes to the path you are on.  There are no half measures when Pluto is involved and, in many cases, what was in place will go through dynamic changes and something new comes into play as you may have to leave something behind.

 

A quincunx always indicates that an adjustment is necessary.  Because of the changes that Pluto often brings, you will have to adjust to where life is taking you and fighting the process is futile as where you are going is exactly where you are meant to go in this place in time.  Pluto is dynamic in its energies and sometimes the change taking place is hard to adjust to, but over time, you will adjust and reap the rewards of life’s new avenues of expression.

 

Happy solar return to our Sun in Virgo followers. The transits to Sun in Virgo, 2025, suggest self-study, learning, communication, relationships and a transition of sorts. Embrace the energies available.

SUN IN GEMINI

On May 20, 2025, the Sun moves from the fixed, earth sign of Taurus into the mutable air sign of Gemini. 

 

Those with their Sun cusping Taurus (born in the first 1-5° of Gemini) will have tendencies also linked to the sign of Taurus.  Those individuals with their Sun in the last degrees of Gemini will also have Cancer tendencies especially internally.  These are cusp degrees.

 

Gemini, as mentioned, is a Mutable sign and these individuals are changeable, able to adapt to almost any condition, sometimes quite moody with changing temperaments frequency and quite often restless needing constant variety in life.  They usually do not like to stand still or to be idle. Geminians tend to go with the flow rather than fight against the current. 

 

Those with their Sun cusping Taurus still carry the same traits as the above-mentioned, but also have concerns about the finances, wish to move forward in the same direction rather than constantly changing direction, are more steadfast in their approach and more reliable.  Financial security is often more important for those with Taurus cusping than those with the Sun in the middle degrees of Gemini.  Decants must also be considered.

 

Those Geminians with their Sun cusping Cancer are more concerned with family affairs, are also more emotional than the typical Gemini. Sensitivity and the need to protect their family runs strong with the late degree Gemini individuals.  Decants again play a part with the later degree of Gemini. 

 

The Sun sign of Gemini is an air sign suggesting these individuals are ruled by their mind and quite adept at conversation, unless Mercury is poorly aspected in the natal chart. 

 

Mercury rules Gemini and most Gemini take an interest in learning.  Education is important in the schooling of the mind, whether through actual academic learning or the schooling of life.  Geminians like to know a little about a lot, but many tend to skim the surface. Those individuals with Taurus tendencies, however, will likely run deep into subjects that interest them. 

 

Geminians are the talkers of the Zodiac.  They tend to mingle with others, have a wide range of interests, are fond of discussions, listen but also think while they listen, which at times will get in the way.  They usually have a wide circle of friends (more likely acquaintances).  They enjoy socializing and many also participate in groups as they can share their ideas with others and learn.  Geminians can be quite convincing but are also subject to a change of heart or thinking, as they review and process what has been said. 

 

Gemini individuals are very much in the moment, but also deeply embedded in their thought processing.

 

Happy solar return to our friendly, curious, witty, communicative, thinking Geminian followers!

THE TRANSIT OF MERCURY & ITS RETROGRADE MOTION

The planet Mercury has to do with our thinking process.  It also has to do with evaluation, speculation, integration and information. 

 

The placement of Mercury in the Natal Astrology chart, by sign and house position along with natal aspects determines how your mind operates and how it deals with information, both favourable and challenging.  Regardless of how your Mercury is aspected in your natal chart, you have options as to how you wish to deal with life’s adversities and also how you wish to move forward when opportunity strikes.

 

As Mercury moves through the Zodiac, it forms aspects to all of your planets over a relatively short period of time, quite opposite from the movement of the slow outer planets.  Mercury is known as a neutral planet, suggesting that it needs stimulation from outside sources before it becomes activated.  A transit to your Natal Mercury is quite different in energy from an aspect by Transiting Mercury to your natal positions.

 

Transiting Mercury changes signs at least once every month unless it goes into retrograde.  Retrograde motion is when a planet appears to move backwards in the Zodiac.  Outer planets are in retrograde about half of the time through the year.  Mercury remains in retrograde for about three weeks at a time.  It can change signs while in retrograde motion, therefore moving over the same degree in your chart three times until it finally moves direct again and continues its forward motion.

 

Many individuals fear Mercury while in its retrograde cycle but this is a bit of a fallacy.  What Mercury suggests while in retrograde is that you review your current plans before actually moving forward with them.  Mercury retrograde is a time for studying and integrating and then moving ahead when Mercury moves out of retrograde and back into direct motion.  We are not saying stop your plans to do or buy something. We suggest caution, however, if you are signing documents as the outcome may not go as planned.  Some challenges may interrupt the flow of things.

 

It is also important to know that those with Mercury retrograde in their birth charts may have more issues when Mercury is in retrograde by transit.  It should also be noted that Mercury must affect a planetary position or angle in your natal chart by no more than 3-4° of orb for it to have any type of effect in your chart. 

 

For example, if Mercury crosses your Sun in Gemini at 3° and your Mercury is retrograde in your birth chart, it will have an impact on your chart especially if Mercury conjuncts or is in opposition to this placement (the Sun in Gemini in our example).  Squares and Trines along with Sextiles have a lessor effect, and the energies will not be as bad as you might think they may be. 

 

Those individuals that do not have Mercury retrograde in their natal charts may experience nothing more than a minor setback, if at all, during Mercury’s retrograde cycle.

 

As a side note, all planets except for Saturn while moving through their retrograde cycle do not operate at full capacity.  Saturn, however, seems to operate with far less restrictions while in retrograde than it would in direct motion. 

 

The transits of Mercury and its retrograde motion are short lived as it moves quickly though the Zodiac. Mercury is neutral and needs stimulation. Use Mercury’s retrograde periods to plan and then act when Mercury goes direct. There is nothing to fear with Mercury retrograde.

COMMUNICATION IS A MUST

The ability to speak your mind, to participate in a conversation, to listen to understand what is being shared are key to communicating effectively with others. 

 

Some people are afraid to open themselves up in case of debate and yet others may take advantage of what they reveal.  Some have insecurities with their intellect and are uncomfortable when open dialogue is required.

 

At the same time, there are those that love debate and even confrontation.

 

Communication however is not just about speaking. An important key to communicating is listening, truly listening without thinking about what the response is going to be, to give the speaker your undivided attention.

 

In significant relationships, it is important to be open and discuss life events, even those you may feel insignificant.  It is important to open up to those that matter in life and discuss even the most intimate topics so that together resolutions can be worked out. When we open to conversation about any subject, we are closer to those that we communicate with.

 

In general conversation, there are individuals that constantly chatter, possibly because of excitement, anxiousness, lack of communication elsewhere, self-importance and the list goes on.  Those that never stop talking can be quite disruptive and need to be reminded that others have important contributions in a conversation as well. 

 

It is important to know when to let others speak and to give our full attention. It is also important to be heard and to communicate what is important. Listening, sharing and respect are imperative in effective communication. Communication is a must.

 

What type of communicator are you?

2024 ASPECTS FOR SUN IN LEO

On July 17, 2024, we reviewed some of the character traits of Sun in Leo. www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-leo-2024

 

Happy solar return to our Leo followers.

 

Today, we will look at some of the 2024 aspects for those with Sun in Leo.

 

Mercury is in retrograde from August 4 until August 27, 2024, and during this period, it will begin to influence the charts of those that have their Sun in the later degrees of Leo.  Mercury moves from Leo to Virgo on July 25 and stays in Virgo until it once again moves back into Leo on August 15 due to retrograde motion. Mercury moves from 21-29° of Leo into September and then moves back to Virgo moving forward. 

 

Anyone having their Sun in Leo from approximately 18° into its final degree will experience this conjunction of Transiting Mercury and your natal Sun.  

 

Mercury has to do with the thinking process and communicative techniques. The Sun will emphasize this capability and it will be like you know exactly what you are talking about.  This, if all else within the chart agrees, can be a great time to bring to the surface some of your ideas and goals for others to analyze, and perhaps you will receive some recognition for your enthusiasm and creative thinking. 

 

Venus moved into the sign of Leo on July 11, 2024, and will remain in Leo until August 5. Those Leonians who have Venus in conjunction with their Sun may find that their financial situation is more satisfactory, and that they can enjoy what money brings into their lives.

 

Romantic involvement may increase or become more relevant during this Venus contact. There may be more social involvement and perhaps parties or gatherings to attend.

 

The whole chart will have to correspond with the energies associated with what was just noted. The house placement will speak of where these energies will reveal themselves.  We must always look at the natal potential to fully understand the potential available as other transits will have to be configured into the equation as well. These are just short transits that will take place for our Leonian readers but these are the only ones that are noteworthy to the Sun.  There will certainly be other transits in the chart aspecting natal positions that do not affect the Sun.

 

To summarize, the 2024 aspects for Sun in Leo will emphasize the thinking process and communicative techniques and romance may become a focal point. Enjoy your social life and possible recognition for your enthusiasm and creative thinking.

2024 ASPECTS FOR SUN IN ARIES

As mentioned in our Sun in Aries post www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-aries-2024 on March 18, the Sun moved into the sign Aries on March 19. During the time the Sun is in Aries in 2024 (moves into Taurus on April 19) Ariens with their Sun in the mid degrees of Aries will have Sun conjunct transiting Mercury. Mercury goes retrograde on April 1 late in the evening and while Mercury is in retrograde, it is advised that you not sign agreements or set plans in motion.  Consider taking action once Mercury goes direct again on April 24.

 

Mercury retrograde is generally feared by many, although this is in general an unsubstantiated fear. Mercury retrograde has to have an impact in your chart (making contact with other planets in your chart. This will be a stronger energy if you are born with Mercury retrograde in your birth chart).  Mercury moves back from 23° to 16° affecting those with their Sun in these degrees. Once Mercury hits 16°, it then begins its direct motion and passes over the same degrees once again.  The second pass is when you can move ahead with your plans and the chance of disruption is much less probable.

 

The conjunction with Mercury and the Aries Sun brings conversation into light. It is a time when you can communicate your objectives and move forward with your plans. You can look deeper into your vision for the future and plan a course to advance in whatever direction possible. Feel free to discuss these plans with others but resist your Aries’ urge to advance without taking note of what they had to say. They may offer you advice that will prove fruitful and help with your progress forward. You don’t have to follow what they say but you should listen in case they have relevant information or advice.

 

Those with their Sun in the early degrees of Aries will be experiencing the sextile of transiting Pluto to their Sun, and this aspect is long lasting. Pluto moves slowly through the heavens and its transformational energies take time to unfold. Know that change is on its way. This is likely a necessary change but may not come easily. Ego disruption is common, and this can come from outside or from within. This will be an overall positive impact that reveals itself over time and provides an opportunity to make changes or to be changed by life events. These changes will open doors for self-understanding and renewal.

 

It is best not to fight these changes. Paddling against the current is futile with these energies. Life will take you where you need to go, and change is a requirement. You will regenerate and transform within areas that need adjustment. It will take time before you see where you are going, what lies ahead and why these changes were required.

 

This is just a quick touch on some of the 2024 aspects for Sun in Aries.  It is important to look at the full chart to get a clear picture of all of the energies that will affect you during the upcoming year as what we touched on may be diluted or amplified by other aspect in your chart.

 

Again, happy solar return to our Arian friends.  Enjoy your next trip around the sun.

OUR TRANSITION THROUGH THE HOUSES IN ASTROLOGY

In Astrology, the Ascendant is a new beginning.  As anything moves through the first houses, we begin again. There is a gradual development as anything moves through the houses of the Zodiac.  The first house represents a new beginning and as we migrate through each house, we develop the skills represented by the energies of each house, one building on the next. Today we will look at houses one through four.

 

Thinking strictly of the energies of the houses, without focusing on the energies of the planets, comets or anything else that migrates through the Zodiac, the first house, again, is the beginning, a new birth or new start. We learn what is required in order to express ourselves in our environment.  We acquire certain characteristics which suit our outward expression, build on how we wish to be seen by the world and formulate a plan to push onward in our quest of life.

 

As we move from the first into the second house, and we are becoming comfortable with our outward expression especially in the way we present ourselves to the general public, we now need to find comfort in this expression and security from within.  Some find this inner security, although often we may find this temporarily in our efforts to acquire financial security.  What we are really trying to obtain is inner security and no outward success can build any type of permanent security.  The financial situation, whether we choose or do not choose to pursue this, does offer a “feeling” of security in the ever changing monetary expression.

 

As we begin to gain inner confidence acquired in the second house, we then move into the third house where we set out to achieve communication skills in our daily life experience.  We may now feel secure enough within or not so secure, but our self-expression through our communicative techniques will hopefully help in these situations.  This can be received through many channels such as communication with siblings and other family members in early life.  When we mature, we should be ready to tackle the world at large and our communication is essential for our advancements whatever that may be.

 

When we venture beyond communication techniques we acquired through the third house, we should now begin to settle into life.  We then begin thinking about family and a place where we can hang our hat, so to speak.  We move towards settling into a home of our choosing and think about building a family although our own immediate family, especially the parents, will have a significant impact on some of these choices.  We may move from the family home and find a place of our own or think about gaining our own independence in some manner.  We may be ready or almost ready to buy a home but we might want someone to share the expense or we start our journey towards a family of our own, all represented by the forth house energies.

 

We will continue our transition through the houses in Astrology in our post on February 28.
