Sun in Virgo

Sun in Virgo-Moon in Aries

by Leave a Comment

The combination of the Sun in Virgo and Moon in Aries is interesting because the two signs really have nothing in common.  Virgo likes everything structured, orderly, and understated; whereas Aries is enthusiastic, assertive, and tempestuous.  So, on Tuesday, we may feel like we are emotionally on edge and anxious to move on to the next thing, yet Virgo requires us to be detail oriented and thorough.   Since the Moon and Mars are in mutual reception (fancy term for each other’s signs), we may need to take extra caution or later in the week we may have to redo things to Virgoan standards.

 

Astro-tidbit: Anytime two planets are in each other’s signs it is called a mutual reception.  Mutual receptions allow the planets to change places in the zodiac.   In this case, it would place the Moon at 27 Cancer and Mars will be located through the first several degrees of Aries since the Moon moves very quickly.

The Moon makes several aspects Tuesday including a conjunction with Uranus, a square to Pluto, and an inconjunct to Mercury.  These are very frustrating aspects since they all indicate that emotionally we may feel like we are on a rollercoaster as the day progresses.   My biggest advice for the day is to try not to react (will be hard with Mars’ influence) and just think things out before performing any immediate action.   Make sure that whatever you choose is something you really want to do before moving forward.

In other astrological news, Venus will inconjunct Neptune late in the evening hours.   This aspect is rather undermining because Neptune can make Venus very insecure about our relationships.   If you find yourself questioning your relationships or worried about what your significant other thinks or feels about you try to ignore it at this time.  Venus will soon move into Libra – the sign it rules – and you will begin to feel a little more emotionally secure on Wednesday.

Sun in Virgo – Moon in Capricorn

by Leave a Comment

On Monday, the moon will move out of fun and boisterous Sagittarius, and into practical and reliable Capricorn.   For our fiery friends (Leo, Sagittarius, and Aries) this is a real downer because the Labor Day holiday has provided you with a break in the monotony of everyday life.   However, reality calls and it’s back to business as usual.

While the Moon is in Capricorn there will be no planetary aspects so we may notice shifts and changes in our moods especially on Tuesday when the Moon will square Uranus and conjoin with Pluto.  On Wednesday, the Moon will trine Venus providing us with many opportunities to be social.   However, towards the end of the day avoid reacting emotionally as the Moon will oppose smoldering Mars in Cancer which could lead to arguments and disagreements.

On the business front, the Moon in Capricorn can be beneficial.   During this month transit we can take the reins and move ourselves closer to our goals, organize situations that have become out of control, and set down regulations and guidelines that will provide us a stronger foundation for our future.  However, on Tuesday avoid speculations or stock trading until late afternoon when the Moon will trine Jupiter in money oriented Taurus.

 

 

Tap Into the Power of the New Moon in Virgo

by Leave a Comment

The New Moon is an astrological phenomenon that happens once a month that is often overlooked by many as they live their day to day lives.  Although we see evidence of this through the changes of the seasons in both animal and plant life, many of us – possibly with enormous arrogance – seem to presume that we are too sophisticated to listen to such basic and ordinary rhythms.  However, psychological studies have revealed that our inner world is still strongly influenced by these cyclical changes, and as such it might benefit us to listen to them.

Anytime there is a concern with cyclical changes there is also a concern with astrology.  After all, astrology is the cosmic science that ‘weighs and measures’ how the influence of the planets affect human beings and define our lives.  Since we are conscious beings (hopefully), we do have more control over the manifestation of such influences, yet we still must recognize that on the inner level our relationship with the planetary bodies is important and beneficial.

Every month the New Moon provides us with a seed level for the upcoming month.   It tells us what the basic energy of the month is, and

 how we can work with it.  We can utilize its power to do intention work or simply to understand ourselves and our inner process on a deeper level.  In astrological jargon, the New Moon is actually a conjunction between the Sun and the Moon and every conjunction has a feeling of the sign of Aries attached to it.  Since Aries is the most personal of the personal signs, we can use the energy to plan out the month.

The New Moon which happens on August 28, 2011 occurs in the sign of Virgo.  Virgo is known for its picky and critical nature, but what does this really mean?  On the deepest level, Virgo (since it is Mercury ruled) gives us the ability to see what is wrong with our lives, and begin to work on these issues.   In the tarot, it is connected with the wise Hermit card, who through his illuminating lantern reveals to us things that we cannot see in the dark.   According to Kabbalah, all of our negative characteristics are simply potentials for creating light.   This month we are able to see our self-defeating behaviors in the light of day, and we can begin the process of changing them.

The astrological aspects of this New Moon are powerful and filled with the promise of opportunity if we are willing to take up the task of working with it.   The New Moon will conjoin with Venus, trine Jupiter, and trine Pluto creating what is known as a grand earth trine.  A grand earth trine is known for its ability to create opportunities in the material world, yet there is the responsibility of staying focused to achieve our desires.  If you have ideas or projects that are on the backburner waiting to be born, now is the time to dust them off and give life to them.

Tarot Tune-Up: Get out your tarot or oracle deck.   Shuffle the cards thoroughly.   Ask yourself the following question, “What are the primary blocks that are preventing my success?”   Draw a card out of the deck.   This is your block to work through during the month of Virgo.

Jupiter Retrograde in Taurus

by Leave a Comment

Just when we thought the retrograde madness was over as Mercury turned direct Friday in Leo, the big kahuna Jupiter will go retrograde this week.  Now before you scream or pull your hair out of your head, Jupiter is always benefic regardless of whether or not it is direct or retrograde.   For those of you that did not listen, I will wait while you super glue your hair roots back into your head.

So, how do we work with Jupiter retrograde?  First, let’s describe what Jupiter does in the horoscope.   Simply put, Jupiter is our enthusiastic faith that although life may be difficult our situation will improve.  When we hear phrases such as, “this too shall pass,” or “the glass is half full,” the words of Jupiter are whispering in our ears leading us to look at life in an optimistic way.  When Jupiter is direct, he is the great explorer leading us towards a vision of life being better, and provides us with concepts and philosophies that allow us to continue to have belief, faith, and enthusiasm about the dreams of a better tomorrow.  When Jupiter is retrograde, he is still beneficial and does not affect us in a personal way as the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, and Mars) do.   Instead, Jupiter tends to simplify things that we have learned, philosophies we have studied, and education we have received and apply it in an applicable way to our lives.  Our attention moves from a focus on outer expansion and moves us towards inner growth.

Since Jupiter is in Taurus, our finances become an issue that we need to dress on the inner level rather than the outer.   We can use this retrograde period – which lasts until December 25th – to ask ourselves what money really means to us, and are we spending our financial resources in a way that gives us what we need, yet provides the energy of money the respect it deserves.   This could not come at a better time with the world being in a financially turbulent period and much of it involves our belief that “instant gratification” is the name of the game.   Our real values will become important to us during this transit, along with the need to find more useful and beneficial ways to deal with our money and be introspective about the reasons we purchase what we purchase.   For many this will be a great conflict, as we often make purchases based on a momentary need to fill a lack or a void in our lives rather than use our financial resources to build something meaningful and more aligned with our inner philosophies.

In other astrological news, this should be a great week after the havoc caused by Mercury retrograde.   Although Mercury is still in shadow and we are repairing the damage of the last several weeks, we will find that our communication will be easier and our difficulties with electronic devices will lessen.   The astrological aspects for the week are all amazingly positive as the Sun trines Pluto, Venus trines Jupiter, and the Sun trines Jupiter at the end of the week.  This is really a great week for achievements, financial improvement, as well as deeper understanding of what we truly want and desire.

Tarot Tune-Up: Get out your tarot or oracle decks.  Shuffle your cards.   Ask the following question, “What can I do to improve my relationship with money?”   Draw three cards from the deck.  Let me know what you pulled!

The Kabbalistic Secrets on Psychic Readings

by Leave a Comment

One of the things that confuse me the most about fundamental Christianity is the way bible verses are used to explain an idealistic argument for or against a given topic.  Often, many of these verses are used to either oppress or denigrate an individual in the name of “God”, and are often taken out of their original context.

This week we are in the portion of Re’eh, which literally means ‘to see’.  However, there is no Zohar available for this particular portion, which means that we have to read between the lines, and search for insight and meaning in the regular Torah text.   Although many scholars will focus this week on “blessings and curses”, which is the first line of this particular portion, there is a particular section that I feel is pertinent for those of us that work in the arcane sciences or utilize the services of the practitioners of the arcane sciences.

The verse in question says the following:

“If there arise among you a prophet or a dream of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying: ‘Let us go after other gods, which you have not known, and let us serve them;’ you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for the Lord, your God, is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and all your soul.”
Deuteronomy 13:2-4

According to the sages, there is nothing wrong with prophetic vision.  If there was such a restriction you would not see several books written by biblical prophets including Isaiah and Jeremiah.   If you read the verse closely, you will see that Moshe says (paraphrased), “If this prophet or dreamer of dreams says, ‘Let us go after other Gods, which you have not known, and let us serve them.’     In essence, you should not listen to anyone who instructs you to take another spiritual path – regardless of where you are in life; you are where you need to be.

The prologue to the Zohar is very specific about interpretations of the Torah.   It reveals that the Torah should be interpreted through the eyes of the individuals that are engaged with it.  In other words, the Torah should not be taken literally, but explored from the perspective of adding meaning to our lives, and as a result we should constantly update our interpretations based on the needs of the current times.

How would we interpret this verse in this day and age?  The truth behind this verse lies in the intentions of readers and the reader’s belief system.   Let me explain.

How many times have you gone to a psychic, tarotist, or astrologer, and you felt that the practitioner was pushing their belief system upon you or you felt that the practitioner in some way was judging you and your situation?   Regardless of the ‘current situation’ that you are in, it is the reader’s responsibility to provide you with compassion, understanding, and emotional support in helping you resolve your issues and to answer your questions.   It is not the reader’s responsibility to force you down a road that you are not ready to receive.   Your spiritual path is your spiritual path, and your choices are what you are responsible for, and not for another individual to judge.  Everyone should feel respected and treated with human dignity irrespective of the reader’s personal feelings about your situation.

As you make decisions about whom to consult regarding your life, make sure that you ask yourself whether or not the individual supported you or whether the individual tried to steer you down a different path.  Remember, you are where you are meant to be, and the choices you make in the present formulate your future.   Of course, sometimes you are given information that you do not want to receive, but the information should be presented in a manner that allows you to make choices and decisions about your life.   After all, it is your life to live!

Now, on with the astrology…

Your Cosmic Weather Forecast:

This week is going to be a shock to the system for many.  We are moving out of the vibrant, energetic, and spirited sign of Leo, and into disciplined and hardworking Virgo.  The feeling will be akin to the alarm clock ringing in the morning after being out till 3 AM.  However, we still must get out of bed, put our knickers on, and plod forward.

As the Sun and Venus move into Virgo, we will notice that our attention will shift to our work, health, and our ordinary day to day responsibilities.  This will be rather dull if you are fiery by nature, but welcomed if you are of a more earthy temperament.   This is a great week to put everything in order and get back into a routine for the fall months, but be relieved that you still get one more weekend of fun and frolic because Labor Day quickly approaches.

This coming Thursday could prove to be the most frustrating day of the week as Mars squares Saturn.  We may feel thwarted or blocked (Saturn) as we pursue (Mars) our immediate tasks at hand, but this aspect provides us with the steadfast determination to succeed regardless of what may be hindering us.   Since this is a waning square the areas of frustration may be experienced in your work or professional life.   Avoid letting Mars out of the box by engaging in petty arguments as you could likely damage your professional reputation.

Friday will be a day of great relief for many as Mercury goes direct.  However, if you are taking any trips or traveling during this time make special preparations for mishaps that may happen.  This is especially important if this trip is for business.  As I have mentioned in past forecasts, Mercury rules communication and the days that it goes retrograde and turns direct are two of the prickliest days that the trickster planet tends to operate.  However, during the weekend we can begin to take actions on things we have put on hold over the last three weeks.

Tarot Tune-Up:

Get out your tarot or oracle decks.   Shuffle the cards thoroughly.   Since we are in the portion that has to do with “seeing”, let’s ask the cards a direction question.   What do the cards have to tell me about “seeing” the obstacles on my path that prevent me from achieving my highest good?  Draw a card out f the deck!  Let me know which card you drew.
