When planets are in their home signs they are very happy and strong just like you feel when you go home.Mercury joins Mars and Venus for the next few days until Venus enters Libra on the 15/16. Virgo its your turn to shine. Its great timing for the archetypal back to school time of year.
Here’s 6 things to be sure to focus on with Mercury in VIRGO
HEALTH
Health is wealth and very important to Virgo. You are what you eat. Beneficial time to do a cleanse, especially as we are going into season change time. You will find it easier and more beneficial to stick to a healthier, more nutritious natural wholesome diet. There is more cognisance of the mind/body connection. Virgo is the harvest, the plants and herbs of the earth. Try using a homeopathy, naturopath, Chinese acupuncture or ayurvedic specialist. Virgo is the body, always tune in and listen to your body as it never lies.
2. WORK
Virgo’s are the workaholics of the Zodiac. They love to be of service and are traditionally the servants of the Zodiac. Questions to ponder with Mercury in Virgo. Are you working too much? Are you too afraid to ask for a raise or speak up about your rights? Are you truly loving your work? How can you master your work? Think about ways to reinvent your work environment and innovate new ideas in your work. If you are bored to tears then move on.
3. SERVICE
Virgo’s need to feel they are being of service. Do you feel that your work and your gifts are being used in the right service? What is your higher purpose for serving? Whom do you serve? Are you being of service to your own body, your own environment? How can you improve this?
4. ORGANIZATION
Mercury in Virgo can help all of us, especially those who are neatness challenged to get their acts together. Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius- listen up. Virgo energy is a perfectionist. Not to be O.C.D. but use this time to clear out messes everywhere you find them. Reorganize, declutter, recycle. Be more prompt and on time. Follow up and follow through. Virgo energy is extremely responsible and Always gets the job done.
5. REAPING THE HARVEST
After all your hard work you need to reap the benefits. Where can you do this in your life? Do you have an idea of what your goals are and what that harvest looks like? If you don’t have a very Virgo business plan and clear goals you cannot create and manifest what you want. Make a plan, get some coaching if needed.
6. Gratitude
Always be grateful for what you have no matter how humble. Bless those bills. Affirm abundance and not poverty.
MERCURY the planet is personified as THE MAGICIAN Tarot Trump # 1
THOTH TAROT # 1 the MAGUS Mercury
The magical skill we all have is our minds. With our consciousness, we can create whatever we wish to. Yes you are a wizard or a witch. We all are. You are what you think. The Magician usually has an INFINITY symbol over his head. As does the woman in the STRENGTH card which is LEO energy. With Magic you can control ALL TIME. The mind is INFINITE. Mercury is a hermaphrodite, both masculine and feminine. He symbolizes the two-lobed brain, the conscious and unconscious sides of ourselves. Each person contains both sexes. Inter-gender is a popular term these days. The MAGICIAN is a trickster.
The Sign of Virgo the Virgin earth is personified as THE HERMIT #9
THE HERMIT is not necessarily alone or has abandoned all worldly possessions. The Hermit is usually pictured as a wise old man with a long beard in profile holding up a lamp, a light to guide the way. He is very much the Inner GUIDE, the one who is always there within you. Just quiet that busy mind and you will find the Hermit, as your ancestors, an unbroken lineage working for and protecting you.
Use this time with Mercury in VIRGO to tune into that ancient wisdom of the Hermit residing already there.
MEDITATIONS WITH THE MAGICIAN Mercury
What is your relationship with your inner hermaphrodite? Bruce Jenner is our current Magician.
How IN TUNE are you? What kind of mind games do you play on yourself?
Dialogue with the HERMIT daily as a meditation. Ask him questions, he is waiting to guide you. The Hermit can be a female guide as well, the Virgin Goddess, the keeper of the harvest.
Why am I so afraid of being alone? Very important for women to ask this question.
Talk to your body, ask each part how it is feeling, You will be amazed at how correct this is.

In the Yogini tantras in particular, women and female yoginis are given high status as the embodiment of female deities such as the wild and nude Vajrayogini.[57] The Candamaharosana Tantra states:
VENUS the Goddess of love, beauty, health, diets, workaholics and perfectionists enters the 6th sign on August 5- 29th. Venus in Virgo’s are the body shamers on the planet and the obsessively dieting botoxing and plastic surgery peeps.

While Venus is in Virgo – do pay attention to your money flow, your diet and get your act together if your home is a mess. A good time to de-clutter and go on a raw food cleanse especially if you are in the Northern Hemisphere and it is summer.
April 17 Moon is in earthy humble VIRGO until the 19th. Your instincts and the people’s mood is hard-working, getting everything right, having a mind/body connection. People will be expressing overly critical and exacting nitpicking moods. Nervous energy and worry pervades the air. Discipline, health and organization is an obsession.
THERE is a Nice earth trine from Mercury in Taurus trines Pluto in CAPRICORN
VIRGO MOON/ Mood is connected to every day chores. These are good days to focus your mind on the job, or any mundane, practical matters, do your taxes, get your hands in the dirt, gardening or walking in nature, cleaning your home, doing your laundry, regular maintenance.
Yes Mars goes Retrograde, from Sagittarius and yes old flames/ male lovers will return.
Especially long-distance, exotic, foreign, teachers, Gaucho’s, risk takers, nudge nudge.
The Moon makes hard aspects to going down, RETRO -Mars in SAGITTARIUS and an opposition to NEPTUNE + a conjunction with JUPITER later in the day which exacerbates and enlarges those “the one that got away” stories.
Moon in Virgo squares Mars in Sagittarius
Get all the facts, every detail and refine your quest, your search for perfection, the perfect education, trip, product, philosophy while Mars is in Sagittarius. Write it all down, journalism is important.
Virgo Moon opposite Neptune in Pisces
Yes dreams do come true, Reality and the dream can be balanced. Fall in love with a Virgo, why don’t you? Bernie Sanders is a Virgo. Is it too good to be true? Is it real or my imaginaton?
Moon conjuncts Jupiter in Virgo later at night
YOU’RE THE REAL THING!
Jupiter magnifies and OPTIMIZES everything it touches so this is a good day to get your exercise, diet and health regime together. Relax a little Virgo’s.
These aspects of Moon Jupiter Neptune can bring on other worldly connections in meditations and dreams. It is easier to tap into a very high level of consciousness which must then be brought down from the “Holy Mountain.” and integrated in to your daily life.
You may simply get all high and project your SOUL MATE needs onto someone.
Pluto will turn Retrograde April 18. This is a powerfully resourceful time. Line up all your assets on all levels and work on fulfilling your long-term career plans when Pluto goes Direct Sept. 26.
Jupiter magnifies everything it touches so this is a good day to get your exercise, diet, taxes, organize your closet and plan your spiritual romantic creative and practical goals and dreams.
Virgo Moon inconjuncts Venus in Aries / next day EDT/ GMT
This one may sting, criticism can ruin a romance. Timing is everything.
Had a fait accompli today of something I have asked for, for awhile. It’s for someone else not myself, but someone very close to me. So it was like, YES! And it was above what I’d asked for in some ways. Even better. So don’t give up, sometimes the universes response takes longer.
DEEPER SPIRITUAL MEANINGS
I am sensing that we all need to look deeply into our own psyche’s to root out dark, heavy karmic stagnations from old wounds which may be blocking your progress. I just went deeper into something I felt but couldn’t get to without some assitance. It was something which had nothing to do with the issue. You may want to use this indirect/ deflection technique to get to the heart of the matter.

Nine is a magic number, no matter how many times it is multiplied it will always reduce to itself.
The number nine symbolizes completion, fulfillment, attainment, beginning and end, perfection,
3 x 3, a Triple Triad, a Feminine number, there are nine months of human gestation.
#9 is an incorruptible number. It’s a celestial and Angelic number. There are nine muses.
In Chinese symbolism: it signifies Celestial power, It also signifies the 8 sacred directions in Feng-shui with the center as the ninth point as in the Hall of Light.
#9 symbolizes Pure Intelligence in the Kabbalah. It reproduces itself when multiplies. It is like a hologram.
In Hinduism: The number of Agni God of Fire. The square of the nine forms, and the mandala of 81 squares leads to, and encloses the Universe.
Scandinavian Mythology Odin/ Woden hung for nine days and nights on the World Tree, Yggdrasil to win the secrets of wisdom for mankind. {Odin is also the Hanged Man Trump #12 in the Tarot}.
Celtic: A central number of 8 directions and the ninth being the center. Three triple Goddesses.
Pythagorean: the Limit of numbers, all others existing and revolving within it.
Tibetan Buddhist and Catholic rosaries or malas all contain 108 beads, 9 x 12.
In the Tarot the Trump #9 is The Hermit
The Hermit’s symbol, traditionally features an old bearded wise man in profile, a Sage holding up a lamp in the dark. The Hermit’s association to Virgo suggests that the LIGHT of wisdom is to be found in our bodies, in our guts, on the material plane, which is Virgo’s element.
What is a Hermit? Like the crab, who retreats into its own shell, a Hermit needs to be alone, to seek spiritual wisdom which can only come from listening to one’s Higher Self. A Hermit is someone who surrenders to the call of Spirit, {Pisces} the opposite sign to Virgo. Hermits need to gives up their worldly possessions, symbols of ego attachment in order to be unencumbered for the inner journey, symbolized as a cave, seeking spiritual enlightenment to feel complete. This it the highest archetype to embody during 2016.
The Hermit is a very powerful Archetype in all the worlds’ major religions. Moses, the Buddha, Jesus and Mohammed all had solitary Vision Quests, some in caves, when they became enlightened.
To embody The Hermit’s energies this year, we will absolutely need to have a regular spiritual discipline. Daily mindful meditations are recommended. Yoga is good as a spiritual path first, a physical path second. Being in nature and tending to natures preservation is also a way to embody the Hermit Energy. Focussing on the body as a sacred Temple of the Soul is also a very important component. You are what you eat. Eating consciously as a spiritual path will also be in vogue. No more selfies, humility is the name of the game.
In the Kabbalah the #9 is the 9th Sephirah, called Yesod, meaning Foundation. The Hermit is related to the Path of Yod the first and last letter of G*d’s ineffable name. It symbolizes the point of origin of our manifest universe in direct contact with the Divine Source of all Light. It symbolizes the Astral Light, Akashic fluids or Kundalini energy, the storehouse of images. It’s related to the Moon and the Pineal gland. Its attributes are incense and the demarcation of sacred ground in ritual.
The Hermit seeks to follow spirit by being in service to others.
Virgo is associated with: Work, service, perfection, healing, health, discipline, accountability, intelligence, the body, grassroots community, budgets, digestion, natural foods, small domestic pets and animals, the Army, chemists, Pharmaceuticals, craftsmen, dairies, gardens, herbs, illness, mathematics,nutrition, poultry, psychiatrists, Red Cross, charities.
PLACES: Assyria/Syria, Baghdad, Basel, Switzerland, Brazil, Boston, the Congo, Croatia, Greece, Jerusalem, Los Angeles, Lyon, France, Moscow, Russia and Turkey.
NOTE: Jupiter is transiting Virgo for the first eight months of 2016 and expands all of these Virgo areas.
An earth sign, Virgo is the Virgin Goddess who governs the harvest. She is like Ceres/Demeter. The Harvest is also a symbol of karma as in what you sow so shall you reap. What we are reaping is what we have sown. 2016 is a year of focussing on the earth, the environment, preserving, healing and serving Mother Earth. We saw many world-wide organizations rally to help heal the environment now that we realize what damage mass consumer culture and the gluttony and addiction to cheap fossil fuels has done to the earth.
Virgo governs workaholism. The mood will shift to working more efficiently and holistically. The need to be more focussed on being in more natural seasonal work schedule is coming. People are seeing their lives eaten up by the Internet and will need time in nature to be balanced and healthy.
MONSANTO and GMO foods will be a major issue in 2016 as Virgo is the Harvest. Monsanto is trying to rule the world by controlling Food production, literally the harvest. By making death seeds, which cannot reproduce naturally Monsanto and the other conglomerates’ control who will eat and who will starve. Eating GMO foods disrupts the body’s natural digestion. The body was not designed to eat tomatoes with fish genes in them or GMO’d pasta which is causing much of the gluten intolerance, and I believe is also linked to autism. Virgo/the Hermit is intelligent and can connect the dots. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, symbol of communication and consciousness. The mind/body connection will be seen as so common sense and self-evident. People will Get it.
Many people will choose to give up their jobs and worldly possession to simplify their lives, work less, and live on less in this year. 2016 will be a year of budget cuts, belt-tightening and accountability. The market is set to crash. Those who know how to thrive with less will do the best.
Yes for VIRGO peeps it is their BIG YEAR in so many ways. Virgo is a mutable sign and with Saturn in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces, there is a Trinity of Mutability. This bring huge benefits, in the practical and spiritual worlds, much adaptability and tests.
The Symbol of the Virgin Goddess is also a sign of the DIVINE FEMININE becoming stronger and more manifest in the world and in the culture. Virgin originally meant “whole and complete unto herself, belonging to no man.” She was originally parthenogenic, reproducing herself without a male. This is the original Goddess and woman as a free, independent, intelligent, strong, benevolent, loving, and nurturing being. Her attributes of renewal are also a very strong symbol that Nature can be renewed using natural means. The herbs which the earth provides are the best. Using non-toxic remedies to heal will be the mode of choice.
Nature/Mother Earth/ The Virgin Goddess/ the # 9, are all symbols of hope and renewal and being like a Virgin, innocent, open, trusting, purified and healed. A return to Innocence. I feel this will be a very positive year, very different in tone from the last three years of Cardinal energies.
We are bringing to a conclusion what we began in 2007, the last #9 cycle, 9 years ago. 2017 will begin a brand new cycle.
We will be drinking Love Potion #9 when we don’t feel like being all alone. I never thought I’d be saying that Madonna’s first hit “Like a Virgin” would also be the Anthem of 2016 but it fits perfectly.
I’m here at the Grail Spring Spa. It is very, very quiet and the snow is pristine white and everything is frozen still. It is beautiful, smells pure and clean and austere. It’s like being in the Movie Frozen.
It is -27 degrees Celsius so I am not going outside.
I am feeling that Saturn square Neptune energy, like what are you doing with your dreams?
Inspirational card of the day
THE QUEEN OF DISKS reminds you to be in the body, be the Queen in your temple. She is associated with Capricorn and the Sun is still in the sign. The Queen of disks rules over the earthly sensual domain of riches, fertility, wealth, health and all good things.The Astrology symbols of Taurus Capricorn and Virgo are in the image. She is deciding where she will give of put her energy. She is generous, there is no end to the riches that you have inside of yourself.
AND: REMEMBER TO PRAY TO THE ANGELS
I think I forgot for few days, that’s not like me.
Moon is in Sagittarius.
The Moon is the symbol of the HIGH PRIESTESS in the Tarot Trump #2 she is in the sign of ALCHEMY or Temperance or ART. Listen to your intuition, take care of your temple, stay balanced.
Here’s an article from the 45th Anniversary of Woodstock
August 15, 16, 1th 1969
Today is the 45th Anniversary of Woodstock. Who of you reading this was there?
See link below for an interview with my old friend Linda Goldman about her Woodstock experiences.
Linda G. asked me to go but I’d just come back from being away in Europe for a month on a High School education trip. Linda and her BF Linda S. went and Linda S. hung with Jimi Hendrix who we both had met the night of May 3, 1969, at the Inn on the Park Hotel the night he was busted for possession in Toronto. Jimi really liked my friend Linda S. and called her and me when he came back to Toronto again for his court appearance.
The Progressed Sun from Woodstock in 1969 is now 45 degrees ahead- a semi-square. The pressure is on to manifest the ideas that were seeded in the ’60s and at Woodstock again. Uranus and Pluto were conjunct in Virgo opposite Saturn in Pisces created the entire 60’s TUNE IN TURN ON DROP OUT mentality. we are now under their powerful influences again with the Cardinal crosses.
Exact conjunction of URANUS & PLUTO on June 30, 1966, at 16 + degrees of Virgo with Transits NOW.
I chose Midnight on June 30 1966 and compared it to Aug 15 2014. VERY INTERESTING.
Planetary transits, like ancient sites, leave ghost track, trails of their specific signatures in the ethers as energy.
Everything that has ever occurred leaves an echo in the material and spiritual worlds somewhere. If you are sensitive, empathic or psychic you can always feel it. Have you experienced this?
The first thing that POPS for me as significant is CHIRON the WOUNDED HEALER opposite URANUS & PLUTO now.
Chiron the Centaur, is the symbol of Sagittarius, whose mission is truth, Justice, Inspiration, mystical higher cosmic consciousness. Chiron, the great healer is sitting NOW exactly 0pposite Uranus & Pluto’s 66 conjunctions of 16 degrees Virgo. Some Astrologers feel that Chiron rules VIRGO as well as Sagittarius although a rulership has not been agreed upon.
VIRGO is ruled by MERCURY which synchonistically also ENTERS its home sign Aug 15, Mercury rules Gemini as well. Ill write about this transit separately.
All oppositions bind the two or more planets involved. This is the tension of the opposites, duality. How similar and different are these times to then?
With Chiron opposing that great trigger point we are feeling very VULNERABLE unconsciously, Pisces is the 12th house. This wounded undertow energy will continue for most of 2015 being especially strong in Feb and December. We are needing to tend our Universal spiritual wounds of separating from VIRGO, the earth, the environment, the common primal ground of our earthly and spiritual Oneness {PISCES}.
We can see in hindsight the foreshadowing of the new technology we now have and its damage to the environment, Virgo. Our health has gained through technology but also suffered by the same means through our food supplies, GMO foods, fast foods, pollution which creates cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity another Virgo theme.
Our addiction to perfection, to workaholism, to consumption, to mentally analyzing everything in the scientific way, feeling disempowered because people and women are being treated like chattel are all negative Virgo traits. Health and herbs,also Virgo themes, getting back to the land, organic, and ancient herbal natural healing traditions are now becoming mainstream again..
The promise of URANUS /PLUTO seeded then was a revolutionary breakdown of the old traditions and collective consciousness. Women’s liberation, bra-burning, black liberation, drugs, sex, rock n roll youth culture began to take over, disobeying old traditions, rebelling against the collective Western limited thought. The higher consciousness of ancient Indian spirituality, meditation, yoga seeped into the culture spearheaded by THE BEATLES. Sixties idealists – thought that ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE. The hippies, the communes, the dropping out, the war protests and civil rights marches, the free love would overthrow the entire old culture of “the Man and the pigs.”
URANUS the planet of chaos revolution and freedom is also at 16 degrees of ARIES Retrograde and is an in inconjunct {15o degrees } aspect to URANUS AND PLUTO. We are at a CRISIS point in the evolving metamorphosis now. Something got lost in the initial transmission. The same planets now are speaking an entirely different language. ArieS FIRE and VIRGO EARTH, the masculine and Feminine, are scorching each other and are volcanoes waiting to erupt. This is a metaphor. John Green did not invent those words.
Uranus and Pluto make their last of 7 exact squares next year the last one is March 17 2015 at 15+ degrees Aries/Capricorn.
PLUTO is now at 11+ degrees of CAPRICORN exactly OPPOSITE from where JUPITER was at 11 degrees 52 minutes of CANCER in 66. Jupiter in Cancer is exalted, Jupiter rules Higher law and Cancer rules MOTHERS, the Feminine, the earth herself, the oceans, food, home, safety. Jupiter expanded the traditional woman’s place in the home, the birth control pill created women’s liberation. Jupiter expanded international travel and higher education and living standards for women and children. It was a fertile time.
PLUTO will destroy that which is not furthering evolutionary consciousness. The shadows of man-made laws which harm the Divine Feminine, children, food supplies, universal education, health, and corruption in the essential roots of the system will be brought down.
We are the collective Unconscious which Pluto represents. We the PEOPLE must rise up and re-claim our rights to own all the resources and wealth, collectively toppling the Plutocracy. All the BABY BOOMERS must manifest the promise.
Uranus was at 11 degrees Aries in March of 2014 also squaring that 66 Jupiter degree and will turn DIRECT on Winter solstice December 21 at 12 degrees 34 minutes of Aries still a very tight square. Uranus brings liberation, freedom, social justice, higher consciousness, new technology, oneness.
JUPITER had also crossed that point on April 5th this year in the midst of the tight of the GRAND CARDINAL CROSS position re-awakening the kernels of higher truth implanted in the wombs of women and children then.
PLUTO will be less than one degree away from TRINING its mid-60’s triggering position with Uranus which will be at 16 degrees for a large part of 2015.
OTHER POINTS OF INTEREST
SATURN at 17 degrees Scorpio is almost now conjunct to NEPTUNE’s 66 position of 19 degrees Retrograde the sign of death. Planetary passages, like ancient sites leave ghost track trails of their paths, energies and events.. Everything that has ever occurred leaves an echo in the material and spiritual worlds somewhere. If you are sensitive, empathic or psychic you can always feel it.
Neptune in Scorpio unearthed a new spiritual side,and a new drug culture- Neptune rules addiction, fantasy, illusion, delusion, denial, opting out, creativity, spiritual oneness. Scorpio is the sign of rebirth, the shadow, death, taxes, sexuality. The 60’s brought FREE LOVE, DRUG culture, and illusion.
ON the AUTUMN EQUINOX this year Saturn will EXACTLY conjunct that 66 degree. It did so previously in November 16, 1984. If you were born then, you are having your first Saturn Return shortly and you are involved in the collective unconscious and the unfolding of this larger pattern of evolution.
Where are we know with the DRUG culture which is entirely endemic from legal drugs controlled by BIG PHARMA,which reaches every single aspect of most peoples lives from womb to tomb, and the underground drug culture run by the Mafia, the U.S. government and other governmental bodies as Saturn about to conjunct that point? Yes marijuana is now legal in some states something that was once thought impossible. Its healing properties are now being lauded. Virgo rules health and herbs.
Saturn is the builder, the architect, matter, time, restriction, maturity, karma. How much more grown up, wiser, are we now then what we were just opening our minds and souls to back then? Have we taken responsibility?
The NORTH NODE, the highest spiritual goal then was at 24 degrees TAURUS and the SOUTH Node at 24 degrees Scorpio. The nodal cycles repeat every 18+-19 years. Taurus North Node was to get back to the land indeed. Living in a simple, practical, craftsman, love of being fully sensuously engaged in creating beauty, music, food, art. Taurus rules real estate, money, values, land. South Node in Scorpio rules death, the underworld, taxes, the shadow, power and control, sex, primal urges, obsession.
SATURN will conjunct the SOUTH NODE for only one pass to the 66 trigger point in November 2014 which indicates a karmic collection debt and also a release point. All the collective garbage,refuse, shit, shadows, underhanded politics, dirty deals, and SECRETS that have accumulated from the 66 conjunction need to come out into the daylight to be dealt with and released.
We are right now seeing race riots in Missouri just like there were all over the U.S. when blacks fought for equality and freedom under M.L.K. and Malcolm X. Despite having the first African-American President in the U.S. for two terms- the shadow of racism still looms large.
The SOUTH Node makes a TRINE to CHIRON at 26 degrees and SATURN which is at the most critical of all degrees on the Zodiac the 29th degree of PISCES.
The 29th degree of Pisces symbolizes the very end of the trail.The last stepping stone back to SOURCE, to where we all come from, infinite oneness. This is a fascinating chart and one which I have just been synchronously led to I was actually on my way to bed.
WOW I am quite blown away by this final signature of THE SPIRITUAL BUILDER, like Jesus as a carpenter. It indicates that the way and the road to the final debt back to SOURCE is through releasing old karma in Scorpio, abuse of power, revelling in unconsciousness allowing power money wealth to rule absolutely. Scorpio is the collective’s resources, what we all own by virtue of being human, the waters which a Nestle CEO now believes corporations can own and privatize, the air, the earth,the energy resources.
SATURN in Pisces is final karma,the last payment, the conclusion of life on earth, the good red road back to spirit. Saturn in Pisces also symbolizes embodying life as Jesus did, or as a spiritual leader as the Bal shem Tov, or the superior man in the I Ching, as a BODHISATVA, one who is already enlightened but who gives up their own freedom to serve the collective to grow to enlightenment to find the path back home.
The last Full Moon of Winter 2014 occurs March 16 @ 5:08 pm GMT/10:08 am PDT/ 1:08 am EDT @26 degrees of VIRGO.
The sign of the Virgin Goddess of the Harvest. That’s appropriate-we are finishing a cycle.
The sign of VIRGO is associated with the TAROT TRUMP of THE HERMIT # 9
DAILY CARD -TAROT of the HOLY LIGHT
The Sun is in Pisces@ 26 degrees 01 minutes only 3 degrees and 59 minutes from entering ARIES and SPRINGING into a whole new LIFE CYCLE.
I chose the Hermit from this deck because it symbolizes the SUN as the LIGHT of Pisces as well. This is not a traditional Hermit image. Usually shown in profile always holding up a lit lantern. The HERMIT is a Spiritual Guide. VIRGO represents deep Introspection, that all the knowledge is within you. The HERMIT is also a GUARDIAN, a protective ancestor. Feeling the HERMIT’S lamp lighting your way can be very comforting. The angel and the ALL SEEING EYE of Insight, of psychic visioning over the Hermits head is not traditionally but again fully symbolizes the elements of this FULL MOON the dual axis of PISCES and VIRGO.
All FULL MOON’s need to be looked at through both signs the Sun and Moon are in.
VIRGO is the 6th sign, element is EARTH, FEMININE. It is Mutable, adaptable, practical, hard-working, perfectionists, highly intelligent, detail oriented. Virgo is a health related sign and Virgo specifically rules the bowels and abdomen. Virgo’s are highly critical of self and others, they see what is wrong because they want to make it right. Virgos are very organized, enjoy discipline, daily routine and love information, reading. They make natural accountants, writers, engineers; they need to serve others and their community. They are modest and frugal. Virgo’s are worries, especially about their health. Virgo rules pets, bees, cats, libraries, healers, satire, grains, food-producing and more.
VIRGO Rules Jerusalem Israel. It is also the Jewish Festival of PURIM.
Where the sign of VIRGO is in your chart is where, at this FULL MOON your feelings and moods, your mother, as symbolized by the moon, your work environment, nurturing, health, women in general, pets, your daily routine and the Unconscious elements are being HIGHLIGHTED now.
PISCES in the 12th sign, the last. It’s element is WATER, Feminine. It is also Mutable, spiritual, ephemeral, compassionate, forgiving, all inclusive, the God sign, sign of the mystic, the dreamer, the artist, chameleons, the psychic sponge, the martyr, the addict. The house/sign of Bliss ashrams, gurus, Yoga. Escapism, delusion, endings. Pisces rules Hollywood, glamour, all things mystical.
Where the sign of PISCES, the 12th house in your chart is where, at this FULL MOON the SUN is illuminating the Unconscious as well, pay special attention to your dreams, a light can be lit there in the darkness. It’s an excellent time to mediate at the Full Moon. Let go of old addictions, forgive yourself and others.
A FULL MOON brings to LIGHT issues that need to be answered:
IN VIRGO:
Are you happy with your work?
What is the state of your health and diet?
What do you need to change to improve your health and work?
Are you being of service in your community?
Are you working too much and burned out?
Are you too self-critical?
What is your state of self-worth?
IN PISCES:
What are your addictions? What are you escaping from?
How are your boundaries? Are you a martyr? Where do you need to learn to say No?
Do you take time to meditate on a regular basis?
How charitable are you?
What needs to be brought to closure in your life?
Who do you need to forgive?
The MOON and SUN are close to squaring the GALACTIC CENTER at 27 degrees Sagittarius.
The connection to the heart of our Milky Way Galaxy is a huge black hole which transmits radio, infra-red and other types of radio frequencies.
This Full MOON is a grand time to tune into the metaphysical awesomeness of the G.C.
The MAYANs and other cultures knew of it as the central roadway for all souls passed into and out of this GALAXY.
it is wormhole.
Gather up the details, organize, finish off old issues, and accept what is,
forgive yourself and whoever else you need to, have compassion for your humanness as Virgo is very human.
See that you, this earth and everyone on it is a physical, dense, manifestation of SPIRIT, of LIGHT.
Get ready for a new season, Spring cleaning, cleansing, making way for the new.
Mars, the warrior planet where the action is always, enters earthy mutable practical VIRGO Oct 15 – December 7.
Mars in Virgo is the eco-warrior, the workplace protector, the perfectionist lover. The soldier called Mr.Clean
MARS in Virgo energy is extremely analytical and precise. Virgo is ruled by MERCURY so though grounded, it has a strong intellectual connection. Virgo’s are very disciplined and concerned about Health. They can be OCD -like, worrying and fussing, really anal about anything being out of place. They are perfectionists and critical. They are focussed, hard workers, like practical things, never overspend and are much like the character of Sheldon Cooper in the Big Bang Theory. BAZINGA!
Mars in Virgo -The pen is mightier than the sword and so might the penis be.
Mars in Virgo will attack intellectually and slay you with criticism, more than physically although they can be strong.
It’ll be a testosterone driven 7 weeks of getting passionate {and defensive} about work, your community, pets, perfectionism, hard work, accounting, cleaning up, balancing the budget, punctuality, nature lovers, gardening, servants, organizing everything, eating a very healthy diet- no carbs, no gluten, no dairy, no wheat etc., working out, cleansing the body and your environment at every moment, a tendency to only buy when absolutely necessary, only practical shoes- no high heels or brand names allowed.
Check out where VIRGO is in your natal chart that’s the hot area.
MARS and an ARCHANGEL
MARS will initially ignite and unite with the fixed star Regulus now at zero degrees Virgo from October 15- 19th. Not just a character in Harry Potter, REGULUS was the heart of the Lion for the last 2,160 years. Regulus is Royalty, and in Virgo it’s down to earth, notice them marrying mere commoners now.
REGULUS is also the STAR of ARCHANGEL RAPHAEL a beautiful angel who governs the Heart and his energy is a gorgeous emerald green colour. Raphael’s energy is extremely healing, I have been initiated into working with Angel Raphael and it’ so beautiful. I send prayers to the earth daily with this Archangel. Meditate on Mars activating the heart chakra during this Virgo transit.
Mars in VIRGO sexually
Men will tend to serve their female partners. They will pay attention to every detail of what their partners like and use that as a reference. Mars in VIRGO is squeaky clean sex, and perfect order in the bedroom. They can have a lot of stamina. Sex may be very routine, always at the same time, not too late. Sex with Mars in Virgo is like everything else, hard work, something that they will finish to perfection. They are not romantics.They can be kinky and play dominant /slave. As Virgo is known to be the sign of servants.
The down side of Mars in Virgo, worrying about every detail, driving oneself and others crazy complaining about everything that is imperfect, nervousness, overly organizing, being too submissive, too frugal, fear of dirt, and upper intestinal and digestive troubles. Stressed out, can’t relax in sex, comparing you to anyone else who was more perfect.
When Mercury Goes Retrograde in Scorpio Oct 21 that will shift and slow Mars down down till Mercury goes Direct Nov. 10

LEO and Libra get off scott free.
Mars in Virgo will be opposite NEPTUNE from the 15- exact on the 19th so have a very romantic frugal date that night.
A great day to ignite new dreams and artists visions.
