Virgo New Moon,6 healing tips

These are very stressful times at this Virgo New Moon. New Moons are always new beginnings. Virgo is earth, practicality, information and  health.  We need to stay grounded, healthy and embodied now. 

Virgo, is the earth sign most associated with HEALTH, natural medicine, digestion, using her harvest of natural medicinal plants.

New Moon is at 10:13 am EDT Aug 25. For the 6th sign, here’s  six simple yet effective health tips to launch at the New Moon. Try for 30 days.

1. Walk in Nature

Go barefoot. Connect with Mother earth directly. Commune with the plants, flowers, trees, bees, butterflies.You yourself are earth.

2. Walking meditations

Practice by walking consciously,simply watching your breath and  being present in the moment. Quiet the mental chatter of the inner critic which Virgo is infamous for.  

3. BREATH and INTENTION

As you walk slowly and quiet the mind focus only on your breathing. It becomes natural, simply breathe deeply. With every breath say- “I am breathing  in the natural healing energies with every step I take.” repeat with each step.

4. Listen to your body

Focus your attention from the bottoms of your feet throughout your body. Be very tuned into any felt sense of any energy being “off.” Like the famous Grail legend, ask your body  “what ails it”  and it will always respond. Just ask and listen. Virgo rules the body/mind connection. 

5. Create new natural eating plans

Eat to live, not live to eat. Virgo rules the upper intestine and it’s their weak point. Create a new diet and menu plan for this month. Change your ratio of vegetables to over 40%. The more raw veggies the better. Eat UNprocessed everything. Almost everything in the grocery store is processed. No microwaving at all. Eat  organic food. Eliminate fried, overly fatty, dairy and wheat. No red meat. No fast foods. Eat more whole and simply prepared foods that are easily digestible. You’ll feel the difference.

6. Prayer and mantras

Prayer is an age-old remedy for healing. Say prayers for those who are ill, Virgo loves to be of service. Pray to the Medicine Buddha. A Tibetan Buddha whose Sanskrit name is the origin of the word doctor- Physician.

Focus on the Medicine Buddha. His healing energy is also in the deep blue color like space.  

Medicine Buddha  mantra – phonetically in Tibetan

(Tad-ya-ta) Om Bay-kan-dze, Bey-kan-dze

Ma-ha Bey-kan-dze

Ra-dza  Sum-gah-tay

Virgo’s are perfectionists and workaholics so another task is 

CLEAN UP THE EARTH 

The PLUTO In VIRGO  generation

Born in 1957-1972 they are very aware of the environment and cleaning up the mess. Notice the earth around you. What can you do to help- is the environment dirty, polluted, noisy, too much concrete, cell phone towers? What can you do to help the earth heal. Frakking, and GMO foods are also dangers. You and the environment are the same. You are what you eat and you are your environment.

MEDICINE BUDDHA MANTRA

Gemini LOVERS Primer,astrology by Tara Greene

May 20 2014 Sun enters Gemini the sign of the naturally bi polar TWINS

 known as a “FUN da MENTAL”  sign. I made that up years ago.

Its a  fast monthly mind games romp while, changing partners, doe see doe-ing, and smiling with charming flirtyness.

GEMINI is Ruled by that fancy fleet- footed messenger  of the Gods – MERCURY, also the planet.

MERCURY is  consciousness, intelligence, analysis, communications. The SOuRCE in some senses.

GEMINI has what is called PEUR mentality and actions, for the more psychologically minded. There may be much mental Ado about not much during  Gemini times. Gemini is a light-headed air sign, dare we say Air head?

But ya gotta love ’em, They  move too fast for you to pin them down. Yes social butterflies those Gemini’s are.. NEVER EVER TRY TO PIN THEM DOWN. Their charm will win you over, they can sell refrigerators to Inuit folks. They shine in public speaking, disseminating info.

GEMINI men take for ever, if they ever do settle down. They naturally wander. They need some extra grounding planets or the MOON in CANCER or strong  Taurus energy to make them stable. If they don’t have earth strong in their charts FORGET IT unless you like a wandering lover. 

GEMINI’s get easily bored, they forget anniversaries,they need something to talk about, anything to  keep their jaws and minds going. They do jump from angel to devil- avoiding anything that would pin them down to taking a single stand.

Do you find that really fascinating?

Their main thrust is to gather information, move like the wind, quick change artists,curious,wiry, young, forever young.

DO YOU HAVE GEMINI SUN MOON VENUS OR MARS?

IF SO it is very difficult for you to be in a monogamous relationship. Your nature is to have your cake and eat  it too. You will have to work hard to come to terms with your roving childlike qualities. 

used by FTD florist as their symbol

MERCURY rules two signs – GEMINI a masculine Air element sign and VIRGO a feminine earth sign element.

VIRGO’s might be heard to be coughing and choking on that bit of info. But yes its true.

GEMINI is the eternal child whose curiosity to mentally explore every nook and cranny and lives in Never Never land like PETER PAN. Rarely ever show up on time.

VIRGO gathers, organizes, perfects, focuses, remembers, all the scattered details in a quite an OCD manner. If you seek intellect, humility, servers, obsessively organized workaholics, they love to read and have great often photographic memories. VIRGO is the polar opposite of GEMINI in so many ways. Yes they are very focussed on work, diligent,worry worts, often work in the health field, terribly disciplined in diet, exercise, being always punctual to GEMINI’s always late. 

May 21 MOON enters PISCES

SUN squares MOON in the wee hours

and MERCURY RULES the Sun and all the lunar days till Friday May 23 when Moon enters ARIES @ 9:01 am

MERCURY is the big KAHUNA for the next few days and there is a GEMINI NEW MOON MAY 28 @ 7 degrees at 11:40 am PDT/2:40 pm EDT

                                                                                                      GEMINI is associated with a surprising TAROT SYMBOL

Gemini and Sagittarius opposites

THE LOVERS

This association killed me when I first learned the TArot. I already had learned Astrology so to have the LOVERS ASSOCIATED WITH GEMINI blew my mind.  Of course all relationships are about duality, choices, male and female, polar opposites. GEMINI is the POLE Star too.

also shown is  the opposite sign of GEMINI which is  SAGITTARIUS which is associated with ALCHEMY again back to HERMES/MERCURY.

The other card which is associated with the LOVERS #6 is THE DEVIL # 15 which also reduces to #6.

Its all about sacred geometry. The Lovers is the choice to love our dual nature our sexual twin. 

The DEVIL is about fear and separation.

Famed psychologist CARL JUNG said there are only two emotions LOVE AND FEAR.

WHICH WILL YOU CHOOSE?

LOVE or FEAR?

 

 

MERCURY, found  in thermometers. whose actions, hard to pin it down, describes Gemini’s energies perfectly…Quicksilver is also a deadly toxic poison but  can also be used to heal in Homeopath.  Now its in all those energy saving light bulbs and very dangerous.

Mercury’s symbol is the caduceus. Not just an FTD Florist symbol, every MD in the world uses the caduceus to signify the healing profession of MEDICINE. The caduceus was originally employed by Chiron and Asclepius as snakes were used to help heal people in Ancient Greece  Snakes were used in the Oracles at Delphi. Considered to be magical animals of the Goddess since always,two snakes entwined around the central staff or spine is KUNDALINI sexual energy.  The caduceus is an ancient symbol of DNA symbolizes the twin poles of consciousness, balance and the combining of opposites as in ALCHEMY to produce something entirely new. This is a deep psychological image.

Mercury in the TAROT  is  the # 1 symbol THE MAGUS MAGE OR MAGICIAN

MERCURY /Hermes is also the TRICKSTER

famous as COYOTE in Native American legends when your mind plays tricks on you…quess who is to blame?

HERMES is  a hermaphrodite, His name means HERMES & APHRODITE Mercury is both male HERMES and a female VENUS/APHRODITE in one. Yes all Gemini’s have this strong energy. Where is Gemini in your natal chart?

We see the hermaphrodite image in Kurt Hummel from GLEE-

 check out artist NAPOLEON BROUSSEAU’s Hermaphrodite transgender art http://www.flickr.com/photos/57408189@N06/6911921733/sizes/m/in/photostream/

May 20 in 2012 there was an Annular Solar eclipse at Zero degrees of Gemini- it was spectacular. The Sun’s entry into Gemini now lights up the events from that time.
