NEW MOON IN VIRGO - SEPTEMBER 20, 2017

The New Moon is the best time to begin new plans, and when in the sign of Virgo, the energies suggest looking after your health’s needs, including a nutritional diet. 

Some Astrologers have noted that the quincunx aspect is associated with health concerns and because Uranus is in quincunx to this New Moon’s placement, it is highly suggested that you look after yourself and make health a priority during this phase.  Beginning new healthy eating habits would fit well with the energies suggested.

This, of course, applies certainly to those individuals with their Sun and/or other planets in the sign of Virgo and at the 27 degree mark.  You can allow an orb of 7 degrees either side of this 27 degree mark.  Be sure to look at the planets involved and the energy that each of them represent.  Check the houses placement as well, as this will be the areas of life involved. 

The placement of the New Moon by house is significant as this area will be affected not only by the New Moon’s placement, but will be squared by Saturn, which will add some stability and practicality to the equation, although some lessons by Saturn are indicated.

The Moon and Uranus push for change and create fluctuations at this time.  This is why focusing on looking after your health (which is ruled by Virgo and the sixth house) is a good plan.  Service is also a key factor behind the energies of Virgo although at this time these energies should be focused on you rather than on something or someone else.

This is certainly not just a health related position.  You should be open to beginning a new project of some sort.  The Astrology house involved will emphasis this.  The house involved could dictates this new focus could be a work oriented project for example.  With these energies, we have great abilities when it comes to being analytical as well as being practical particularly if it makes other links to other planets and points in your chart.  If you receive recognition for your efforts, all the better as encouragement goes a long way. 

With this Virgo influence, you have to watch for becoming overly critical.  You will see all the little flaws and chances are no one else will be as critical as you will be.  Let go of perfections and just do your best.  Do not become stuck on possible outcomes or failures.  A positive approach is the best route to follow under any circumstance.

If you decide to work on yourself at this time both physically and mentally, this is a great time to uncover things within that might need rejuvenation or even transformation.  Pluto supplies this energy as it is in trine to this New Moon position.  Pluto energies want to control what is taking place in your life and you will need to have a leading role as things unfold. 

You will have great understanding capabilities as Mercury rules the sign of Virgo.  You will be able focus and bring to light anything that really needs your attention. 

This is a great time to plant new seeds, so why not start something that will not only benefit others but will also benefit you, now and in the future.

TIME IS ON YOUR SIDE

Many of us sit in wait for the perfect time to move on our goals.  We feel as though there is plenty of time to get things done and do not think in terms of time restrictions or delays.  We believe we always have tomorrow and what will not get done today will certainly wait until tomorrow.  There is no urgency.  There is no rush.  There is plenty of time.

We always have tomorrow even if we pass from this world today.  We are energy - a current of life that never ceases.  If we did not accomplish something in this life time, we were not meant to.  If we did not learn the lesson as well as we should have, we will enjoy the lesson again in some other form or another. 

Life is perpetual but does that mean that we should wait or procrastinate?  I think not.  We are here to live so live we should.  Our greatest potential lies within this very moment that we are currently experiencing.  Should we waste it?  Again, I think not!

There is no greater opportunity than now.  All we have is this very moment.  There is truly no time like the present.  To state this even more precisely, there is only this time at the present.  We waste opportunity by sitting back and waiting for the perfect opportunity to present itself. 

It is said that some things are worth waiting for but does this insinuate inaction?  Perhaps we simply need time to prepare.  If this is the case, utilize this time preparing.  Perhaps the timing just does not feel right, then let’s use our intuition but do not procrastinate.  There is a difference.

If you feel you should move forward with your objective now, then undoubtedly you should.  If you feel now is not the time, then perhaps you should wait.  Perhaps this intuition is telling you that you have not done all of the necessary prep work. 

If, however, you have been putting something off for a long time and you keep making excuses as to why you should not move ahead, it is certainly time to examine why.  The only thing to fear is fear itself.  Do not let fear dictate.  If it is fear of failure or a feeling of never being totally prepared, it might just be time to rise above these fears and take that plunge.

We are never at the mercy of life, although we are often at the mercy of our beliefs.  Do not let fear stand in the way of your progress and do not be afraid of the outcome.  The biggest regrets we can have are regrets of inaction.  You will know instinctively when the time is right if you remove fear and doubt.

TRANSITING PLUTO IN OPPOSITION TO MERCURY

Mercury is the planet of ideas, beliefs and communication. 

Pluto’s energies are intent on breaking down what needs transformed. 

As Pluto tears apart concepts and communication techniques while in opposition to Mercury, it replaces them with something stronger and more viable.  Pluto creates change and is often revolutionary.  It also creates power struggles especially if you are unwilling to bend to its transformative energies.  Check your personal chart to see if and when this aspect may occur for you.

The opposition usually implies that other people are involved and the area of communication may be receiving unusual intimidations during this time.  There may be difficulties involving communication, and efforts getting your point across can be challenging.  It seems that other people may not agree with what you say and any kind of dialogue which gets heated is subject to collapses.

You may be unwilling to bend and strongly feel that what you say is correct yet you find that others seem to be challenging your ideas and plans.  You may find that it is best to sit back and hear what the others have to say.  Being too aggressive in your belief structures and being unwilling to bend can and probably will create tension and arguments. 

Riding roughshod over others may be part of the problem or vise-versa--others could be bullying you.  You may have to stand up for your rights and push a little or you may have to back down, not in defeat but in recognition that others just might provide important information.  Stand back and listen and then make you stance if you are not wrong.  You may be in a much better place if you learn to conform a little or listen to get more facts.  If you have taken the time to make sure that what you are saying or striving for is the right move to make then perhaps you have to stand tall if it is for the best for all involved.

 

Watch for ego interfering during this opposition and only stand up for what you know is right without a doubt.  If you still cannot make headway then perhaps you do not have to prove you are right to anyone but yourself.  Pluto can become quite obsessive about being right and you will have to watch for this.

Check to see which houses are being affected by this opposition (if and when it occurs in your chart) to know which areas of life are being activated.  The general condition of your Mercury in the natal chart will also determine how this aspect will present itself to you.

TRANSITING SATURN CONJUNCT NATAL MERCURY

Transiting Saturn is currently in the sign of Sagittarius and will remain within the last ten degrees of Sagittarius well into December, 2017.  Saturn which is often linked to disciplined action and restrained conditions moving through the sign of Sagittarius (the sign of higher learning, optimism and philosophical teachings) will be testing our ability to focus through sometimes stifling conditions to stay true to our beliefs.  This is particularly true when Saturn, through transit, conjuncts our natal Mercury.

The energies of Mercury in Sagittarius is very open minded and approaches life from a religious and philosophical vantage point. 

Saturn will have been testing our beliefs that are linked to higher learning and will test our commitment by putting challenges in place which in turn will push us to reach within for some of the answers that may be plaguing us.  Luckily, those who have Mercury in the sign of Sagittarius have the ability to rise above most of life’s struggles and maintaining a healthy outlook.  Nothing much stands in the way of progressive thinking.

Saturn is the teacher of the zodiac and resistance to change.  Saturn is always willing to take the long road to learning when appropriate.  If the short route is more appealing to you while Saturn is making contact, you will find that the short route currently does not exist.  Saturn insists that you not miss any steps and you will have to make adjustments along the way if this is your normal way of working through things.  You cannot ignore any detail.  Every detail must be faced when it comes to the lessons that Saturn presents to us.

If, however, you work your way through these lessons and you are diligent in your efforts and also stand strong in the face of adversity, you will come out the other side of this experience much stronger and a more experienced individual with knowledge and understanding that will stand the test of time.  On a mental level, it may seem quite tedious as you seem to be tested at every junction point but you will learn a great deal about your inner resolve during the time frame that Saturn makes this contact.

The house in which Saturn is transiting will be the area of life that is being affected and the natal house placement of Saturn will also play a significant role in the events taking place during this aspect.  Check to see how Mercury is aspected by other transiting planets as well as its condition within the natal chart.  This will give you a clearer picture.  Even if Mercury is challenged in the birth chart, remember that challenging aspects when applied to our life’s mission will be rectified over time and work like a conjunction or sextile once mastered.  As a result, the challenging aspects will eventually work with us.

Mercury is the planet of the mind and the greatest tests to your mental energies will be during the time spent with Saturn.

Uniquely You

How do others see you?  Is this important?

How to you see yourself?  This opinion is very important.

Are you outspoken?  Do you stand behind you ideals and allow them to motivate you? 

Are you an independent thinker or are you easily swayed by what others say or think? 

In the face of adversity do you believe that the tough get going or do you check out when the going gets tough?

Much of who we are and how we define ourselves comes from our own concept of what we believe we are capable of doing and of being for that matter.  We either believe in ourselves, or we are at the mercy of what others or we think we are. 

We can find buried strength to stay true to who we are and then to accept this person and become comfortable with that recognition.  It does not matter what others think, unless of course, we are struggling to see the real person inside and other can offer us a proverbial mirror of true sight. 

We have the ability to become anything we wish if we have the willingness to work towards that wish and the attitude of success.  If no one else sees this potential, it does not matter.  The faith and strength must come from within.  You can move in any direction and are capable of anything that you believe you can do.  It is all a state of mental being and the belief structures that you have aligned yourself with.

If you feel strongly about something, then stand up for what you believe in.  If you are unsure in the objective you currently seek, then change your attitude or change your direction.  Be who you are and be proud of this. 

If the real you is in a constant state of flux bending with life circumstance and adjusting to others, perhaps you need to refocus and set a course of action that will foster growth in a positive direction that not only benefits others but with particularly benefit you.

You are important and have a special place and purpose in life.  Not all accomplishments are meant to be hung under bright lights for all to see.  Some of us do our best work behind the scenes.  Whatever you choose is perfect for you.  No matter how you utilize your gifts, they will allow you to be.  Always be open to your true self and allow the beauty of you to find true expression.   You were created to be unique.  Not utilizing the gifts you have, simply hides your true beauty deep within the blur of the crowd.  We cannot see the tree for the forest.

PROGRESSED SUN CONJUNCT THE MIDHEAVEN OR ASCENDANT

The progressed Sun moves one degree per year.  The progressed Sun governs ambition, power and authority.  It also reflects our vitality and our ability to recuperate from illnesses.  It often identifies the husband or father in a woman’s chart as well as authority figures in life such as your superiors within the working environment.  It could, however, also be directly related to you personally.

The influence of the progressed Sun on the Midheaven or Ascendant is generally in effect for three years.  The energies can be felt as much as one and one-half degrees before it becomes direct and for the same extended degree after it moves away from being exact. 

When the progressed Sun is in conjunction with the natal Ascendant, it can indicate a time of advancement in life on many levels.  This could include favourable opportunities for change in life and opportunities for inner achievement and/or outer success.  It can also indicate the potential for meeting someone in life that has a great influence on you and will teach you many life lessons.  It could also suggest that the father or in some cases your son has available to them opportunities that the aspect and placement is suggesting.   These influences would be of a positive note if there are other conditions within the chart that suggest similar opportunities.

The progressed Sun on the Ascendant often implies that health is robust and feelings linked to good health is often a by-product.  Much depends on the influence of other transits and progressions affecting the Ascendant during the three year period of influence.

When the progressed Sun is in conjunction to the Midheaven, depending on the age of the individual, we may find advancement opportunities in occupation or there may be a graduation from such as University.  Some of life’s objectives often materialize when the progressed Sun reaches this degree.  More opportunities for our hopes and wishes to manifest are often indicated when the Progressed Sun reaches the MC (Midheaven).  Changes of a positive nature to our status may occur or present themselves.  Much depends on the natal potential, but nonetheless, the time is ripe for opportunities to enhance the career or move ahead in life during this aspect.

If the Progressed Sun were conjunct the MC, it would also be in opposition to the IC often suggesting changes to the home environment and to family members.  Oppositions usually imply actions from someone else.  This could suggest that a son or possibly a daughter might move from home especially if Venus or Mars is somehow connected to this position.  There may be potential for some type of income or opportunities involving the home.  More potential is suggested when the Progressed Sun is in conjunction to the IC, as conjunctions offer more opportunities than an oppositions angle.  Oppositions often suggest reversals or challenging conditions that often stem from others.

When deciphering the Progressed Sun always take into consideration the potential in the natal chart and the transits and progressions to the chart as a whole.  Remember there has to be three or more similar aspects to stimulate an event, either through transit or progression.  The more aspects involved suggesting something similar, the greater the possibility for an event to occur.
