SUN IN VIRGO AUGUST 22, 2020

 On August 22, 2020 at 11:44 a.m. EDT the Sun moves from the fixed fire sign of Leo into the mutable earth sign of Virgo.  Virgo is the sign of the virgin and has been known for its innocence of virtue, its ability to decipher things in great detail, and its underlying need for facts. 

 

The typical Virgo who has their life in order, looks neat and tidy and is conscientious and studious.  These individuals care about these qualities and they have to have (when working the way they want it to) all cylinders firing at the appropriate time and in the appropriate place.  Any Virgo that is unkept and does not have everything in its proper place are undoubtedly experiencing a state of turmoil or life is not working the way they want it to.  These are signs that they need to do some work and need to work to put life back on course again.

 

Virgo needs to have life organized and a well-kept home or filing system where everything is easy to find.  They love a well manicured lawns and gardens without weeds.  Many are endlessly orchestrating their lives to be as perfect as possible.  The only problem might lie in the fact that nothing in life is ever in its perfect state (in our opinions) except perhaps for nature.

 

Virgo is dependable, organized, structured and sees little flaws in people and life that others may not see.  They like cleanliness and look after themselves health wise and hygienically almost to a fault.  They can be over the top about this and can become obsessive about things being perfect.  This can lead to having a hard time being satisfied with what is around them and sometimes with themselves. 

 

Virgo individuals can work in many fields and their expertise is second to none.  In many cases they are honourable people and you know that you are getting their best at least from those functioning positively.

 

Virgo’s opposite sign is Pisces and right now Neptune is transiting through Pisces around the 20 degree mark in its retrograde cycle.  Oppositions are known to be a challenging aspect and there are always other people involved in the equation.  Neptune is a mystically oriented planet and when in challenging aspect makes things unclear and direction can be vague and uncertain.  When connected to the Sun which is our inner self, tied to our life’s path and goals and aspirations, there will likely be some ambiguity and doubt about the path ahead under this influence.

 

If your natal Sun is in the first house, this could be tied to relationships of significance such as your partner or business partner.  If your Sun is in the second house this could be tied to finances and security and shared resources.  If it is in the third house this could be tied to relationships with your siblings or the day to day activities that you are going through.  Perhaps it is tied to court proceedings or travel or higher education.  If your Sun is in the fourth house this could be tied to the home and family and your occupation.  Perhaps you are planning on moving and you are having issues from the family about where to move or whether or not to actually make that move under the current conditions.  Do not forget that others are tied into the calculation. 

 

If your Sun is in the fifth house the issues may be tied to your children or a love interest or perhaps you are thinking about starting a group or joining one.  If your Sun is in the sixth house then the conditions may be tied to the working environment or your co-workers and this may be tied in with health and wellness.  Perhaps there is more taking place than meets the eye, something may be hidden.

 

The Sun placement in the remaining houses will be addressed in a future Virgo post coming soon.

 

These that we have touched on are only potentials and a study of the full chart must be applied before we can reach a definitive conclusion, but this might give you an idea of what areas in life will be vague and uncertain at this time.

PLUTO THE TRANSFORMING AGENT

Pluto is known to have great transforming energies and through its influence, its energies will create change of direction where it is needed.  In many cases what needs to be transformed will be quite evident and if we do not move ahead with the requirements then Pluto’s energy will ensure that the changes are made for us.  Its energies are intense and when it touches a planet or angle in our natal chart or even when it crosses into a new house, you are quite aware of what is being pushed your way.

 

If Pluto transits an angle in your chart (ASC, MC, IC and DC) there is usually an ending of sorts taking place before something new comes into play.  It usually takes about 2 years to totally understand what is taking place and why things went through the aggressive change and why it was a requirement.  There are no halfway measures about the action of Pluto, and nothing is by chance.  Often, we have little control in what takes place and it is best to go with the flow rather than fight the impending change.

 

If Pluto conjuncts an angle, for example, Pluto conjuncts the MC, you can expect changes and transformations to take place around goals and life’s path.  In many cases depending on what stage of life you are in (age) you can expect something major to take place in the area of occupation or career.  Because Pluto in this case is making a conjunction, we also need to look at its opposition to the IC.  In many cases because of the changes that take place in your career it will also have effects on the family and the home.  Sometimes we need to move because of what takes place with our occupation or goals in life.

 

If Pluto is making a conjunction to the Ascendant, it will also be making an opposition to the DC.  The conjunction to the Ascendant will usually indicate some personal change is on the horizon.  Perhaps you change the way you look or your personal situation in life.  Perhaps this is due to the changes taking place in close personal relationships such as marriage or perhaps a relationship moves to the next level. 

 

Pluto should be taken seriously and as mentioned in many cases it is out of your hands how things unfold.  However, our attitude always plays an important role in how an event affects us.  Life does sometimes seem like it dictates and where Pluto is involved this might just be the case, but your attitude can make it more difficult or more easy flowing.

ASSISTING THOSE IN NEED

 It is certainly important to be there as support when someone needs help.  Just to be with someone in their time of need is the best support we can offer.  Sometimes a few calming words can move mountains and sometimes a gentle shoulder or an attentive ear can bring peace and reassurance.

 

Remember, however, we as a support person cannot make the changes happen.  We are “support”.  It is up to the individual to bring about change.  We may be able to plant a motivational or positive seed, but they personally must nurture that seed and culture its growth. 

 

It is important that we show our support and assist along the way when asked.  By allowing others to solve their own issues, they build inner strength by addressing the situation.  Ultimately, it is their decisions to make change.

 

Allow others freedom of choice and movement.  It can be difficult, but we must support them with their decisions, although suggestions are valuable if they are open to hearing them. 

 

Walking with them reassures them that we care, and they are not alone.  This alone can be empowering, but strength is built through determination, inner resolution and tackling their own personal issues.

 

Love them enough to let them learn from their mistakes.

NEW MOON AUGUST 18 2020

We will be experiencing a New Moon in the sign of Leo at 26 degrees 35 minutes at 10:41 p.m. EDT on August 18, 2020.  A New Moon’s energies are about new beginnings and things that relate to the sign of Leo’s should be high on the agenda to concentrate your energies on.  It is time to plan your goals and formulate an action plan and set it in motion.

 

Leo, the natural ruler of the fifth house, deals with your creative expression, your or other people’s children that have an influence during this time, your romantic involvement and the sheer act of enjoying what life offers especially those things that bring your inner child to the surface. 

 

Leo is a proud sign and likes to take charge, taking responsibility and making things happen.  Anything that stems from the heart and is well-intended can be pursued at this time.  Make sure you are using the energies in such a way that it builds your own personal confidence or in ways that you can help others to enhance their own personal confidence.  Lending a helping hand, offering advice, giving without measure, and taking pride in your own accomplishments as well as the accomplishments of others are all strong positive influences attributed to Leo.

 

Set goals for yourself that might be a bit lofty but not unreachable.  Act upon that love affair that has been brewing for some time now.  Love and share your life with others but watch for being taken advantage of by those of lessor intent.  Give for the sake of giving, wishing nothing in return not even appreciation, and making sure that ego is not overly involved. 

 

Mercury is at 27 degrees Leo and is conjunct this position of the Sun and Moon indicating that the mental processing can be very helpful, and your ideas might be right on target.  The mind is stimulated and extends into whatever area of life that is being affected (indicated by the house position of Mercury and this New Moon’s placement in your natal chart).  Emphasis is placed on mental processing and understanding what needs to take place and even how to go about doing it.

 

The North Node is Sextile to this lunar positioning at 27 degrees Gemini, so this would be a good time to follow your heart and make plans that fit the path that is most suitable at this time.  The North Node is our path forward and can indicate important people coming into our lives that help with direction and action plans that point us in the right direction.

 

Mars is trine this position at 24 degrees in the sign of Aries.  Mars is about advancement and promotion and is in place when we need to move ahead.  This can be tied to romantic involvement, and although you may feel the desire to move quickly into a situation, be sure you weigh all the details out carefully before plunging into action.  Aries and Mars want to be the first ones in on whatever is taking place.

 

Saturn is inconjunct this position at 26 degrees Capricorn suggesting adjustments are necessary and some challenge lies ahead.  With proper preparation and an action plan, even though the adjustment may be somewhat difficult, you can set up things so that the potential future of whatever it is you are planning on moving towards will have some reliability and then stabilize over the long haul.

 

All is quite good but take some time to restructure if necessary and look and think before you jump. Potential awaits those that are ready to propel ahead and move in the appropriate direction.

SOLAR RETURN CHART

Recently we have had questions concerning Astrological Solar Return Chart. 

 

A Solar Return Chart is generally prepared at the time of an individual’s birthday, although it can be prepared at any time.  A Solar Return is prepared with information on the exact day that the Sun returns to its original position in the natal chart, by the sign, degree, and minute, precisely.  So, if the Sun in the birth chart is in Capricorn at 15 degrees 12 minutes, the return position would be exactly the same during the year in focus.

 

A Solar Return Chart is prepared in similar fashion as a birth chart, as the exact timing establishes the Ascendant degree for your location on that date.  The location can be where you live or where you may happen to be on the exact day of the return, (which, again, establishes the Ascendant’s degree.)  It can be read as a birth chart although it is only focused for the year from birthday to birthday.  Some begin to feel the energies as they approach the birthday as much as 3 months prior to the actual birthday. 

 

Studying your Solar Return Chart can help you prepare for what energies which will be at hand and so you can focus on whatever areas of life will be emphasized for that year.

 

The Ascendant sign and ruling planet of the Ascendant, the Moon and its sign and house position, the Sun and its house position as well as any major configurations and tight aspects will play significant roles in the year in focus.  If the Solar Chart has many similarities to the natal chart, it will be an important year, especially if the rising sign is close in degree to the rising sign of the natal chart.

 

The Moon plays a significant role and its sign and house position along with any aspects it receives in the Solar chart.  These indicators will define our emotional makeup for the upcoming year in question.  You should also look into the aspect from the Solar chart to the natal positions, as this will help you get a clear picture of what to expect and will also provide you with timers for events and areas of life that might be involved.  Remember our natal chart is our blueprint.

 

Although the Sun is in the same sign and degree, its house placement likely will be different. There are many other facets to take into consideration but this chart on its own will define clearly what to expect in the year in focus and will often correlate with the transits and progressions to the natal chart.  It adds dimension to the overall translation of upcoming energies and events in the forecast for the year ahead.

A WARM TOUCH

 

There are so many people struggling with life issues even without our current pandemic situation. Many find themselves alone and feel they have little to no outside assistance.  They are lost in the confusion and caught up in mental focuses and expectations that have brought about challenging reactions.  Some of these difficulties are due to experiences with relationships, some are due to self-worth, some stem from a background where it didn’t seem to matter how hard they tried they were always stifled by those that meant the most to them.  Many will carry this forward into their life’s experience and continue the attitude that only serves to hinder their progress.

 

We can aid those in need.  Sometimes all they need is to know that someone cares, to express themselves or have a shoulder to lean on.  Life can be exceedingly difficult for those caught up in challenging emotional baggage.  Very few of us can truthfully say that we have not spent a moment or two in this confusing place, so we know how to truly supportive through experience. 

 

Occasionally our advice is appropriate but usually it is our ear that is required.  There are times we are guided to say the exact words that these individuals need to hear to propel them forward or away from the challenges.  We may not even be aware that what we had to say had an impact and can be the defining moment in someone’s shift.

 

We are here to experience life in its fullest terms and sometimes the ride can be bumpy.  However, we are all very resilient and, in most cases, get through challenging experiences on our own or with a little assistance from a friend or family member only to come out the other side stronger and more self-confident.  We have what it takes to get over the humps and recover a little bit wiser from the experience.  Many times, initially, we stand in our own way and the answer is right in front of us.

 

We can always be that warm touch that is needed for others.  We cannot lift others out of their difficulty, but we can offer a helping hand.  They must discover their own strength and find their way through the adverse conditions. 

 

Be that helping hand.  Be that warm touch.  Let them know that you are by their side and let them know that they will overcome and be better for it. We can offer seeds of motivation and they can water these seeds. 

 

Life’s challenges can always be met head on and overcome.

THE AWAKENING OF SELF - AGES 54-57 IN ASTROLOGY

If you are between the ages of 54-57, this post pertains to you. 

 

At this age, you would be entering a stage in life when maturity is in full bloom.  You are beginning to see yourself as an integrated whole and no longer just an extension of others.  Hopefully, you are comfortable enough that what others think is no longer important.  You are who you are and that is just fine.

 

This is a stage when you are more concerned about life itself, than living up to other people’s expectations and you are forming relationships for you.  You have come to a point where you basically know yourself and are liberated with this knowledge.  Relationships still have a place in your heart, some even deeper than anything experienced previously, but you can rid yourself of unwanted or draining relationships as well if you need too.  This is not to say that you have become cold or uncaring, quite the opposite.  You are beginning to understand what it is that you need and will form more meaningful relationships in order to build on this.

 

This period is about self-fulfillment and self-honesty.  If you have been working well within these boundaries and living your life through generosity and love, you are well on your way to a more rewarding and satisfying life.  You are on your way to the second Saturn return and you probably remember your first Saturn return around the age of 29, when you experienced life’s events to the fullest and matured immensely, coming through a period of transformation on many levels.

 

There are several astrological factors that are in effect during the ages from 54 to 57.  You will be experiencing the second progressed lunar return, which in short speaks of emotionally coming of age.  You will also be going through the Uranus trine Uranus transit, which is usually accompanied with excitement and the beginning of something new.  Neptune is also in trine to its natal position, helping you gain a more realistic point of view on where your life is heading.  For many in this age group, Pluto is also making a trine to its natal position which could be termed a life transformation when we tap into our core.  You are also going through the third nodal return at this time, which is directed towards a reorientation within and a clearer focus on life’s direction.

 

These astrological transformations taking place during this time frame usually signify deeper transformations taking place and on many different levels.  Explaining these fluctuations is basically impossible in a short post like this, but you now have an idea why life is going through changes on so many levels.

 

Enjoy the transformations taking place in your life and prepare for the next major transition to unfold as you enter the last years of your fifties.  This marks the beginning of the second Saturn return taking hold in the late fifties and many will experience huge transformations during this time frame.  Some contemplate retirement while others begin anew.  One thing is for certain this will be a fruitful time, and everything begins to materialize and gather momentum towards this second Saturn return.

 

This is a high point in life and you are entering into what many call the “awakening of self” period in life.  Stay tuned to the higher frequencies taking place in life and enjoy your unfolding.
