We Are Entering the Time of Virgo

This week in astrology.

We are still feeling the intensity of last weeks Venus, Uranus, Pluto T square.  This energy can play out strongly in relationships, if you are in a committed secure relationship the excitement of this energy can spark fun and excitement, if you are in an unsteady or negative relationship this energy can cause some real disruption and tension, forcing you to make choices on what you will or will not accept.  Cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn are the most affected by this intensity.

As the Sun gets ready to leave the sign of Leo and enter the time of Virgo it makes a nice sextile to the planet Mars, this is the energy of the spiritual warrior.  Its an assertive energy that can be used to raise awareness and make points.  So if you need to take strong action and want it to be accepted without resentment the beginning of the Week Monday and Tuesday in particular will work for you.  This is also a great time to start new projects, start a new diet or health regiment.  Fire and Air signs get the most benefit from this aspect, but all of us can utilize this positive force the universe has given us. 

On Tuesday the Sun enters the sign of Virgo, leading us into the season of fall.  The first thing the Sun does is make an opposition to the planet Neptune, this is difficult energy for the average person, those who are artistic or mystical can enjoy this elusive otherworldly energy.  But those of us who are mortal may find this a confusing couple of days, you don’t know how to sort facts from fabrication, you may not be able to believe a lot of what you hear or even see.  Quiet meditation may provide you with amazing new ways of looking at things.  You can also just feel tired and not want to exert yourself, if that is how you feel take it as a time when you need rest and don’t push yourself to hard.

On Thursday Mars enters the sign of Scorpio a time when all those cardinal signs will take a big sigh of relief and say thank the universe for some relief.  But those of us who are of the fixed signs, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius may find our buttons are pushed, anger that we have held in no longer wants to be controlled, or we may act in passive aggressive ways, Mars is Scorpio is powerful but not always direct.
