Astrology of September: Virgo

Sun into Virgo at 3:37am Sunday, August 23rd, 2015.
The Sun is making it’s annual conjunction with Jupiter over the next few days, giving us a highly auspicious week! If you need some acknowledgement at work, a raise or even a new job – now is the time to ask for it. The Sun symbolizes authority, and Jupiter the jovial King, so the two of them in harmony can bring huge fortune and good luck to any activities this week. These two giants join Mercury and Lilith in Virgo – allowing clarity and focus in our thinking and aspirations.

And it’s just the beginning!

Jupiter entered Virgo a couple of weeks ago, sparking off a year of practical steps to achievement. If you have goals in mind, Virgo shows you the way to manifest them into reality. This makes Virgo one of the most powerful signs. On the challenging side, Virgo symbolizes doing our chores. Ugh. Who wants to do laundry, work out or clean the house? But we gain traction in our lives when we are organized and have our s*** together. That’s the truth of it. Basically, Virgo symbolizes “cleaning up the house” after the giant Leo party in July/August.

Interesting that the Sun moves into Virgo around August 21st every year; when people are returning from trips and kids are going back to school. Time to get back to work. Virgo is an earth sign ruled by Mercury, which encourages our organizational abilities (or the need to hire a friend who has them). Virgo brings crisp perspective, sharp decisiveness and detailed action. What does the foundation of your life look like? Do you need a health makeover? The devil is absolutely in the details and your daily habits. Show up for your schedule and do your best each and every day!

The Sun’s movement into Virgo means we have officially entered the harvest season. Burn gold and green candles for wealth.

Venus Reborn today

Today is a landmark event in the current Venus Retrograde. Venus crosses in front of the Sun – dies and is conceived in the same moment. Remember a few weeks ago when Venus was visible in the twilight with Jupiter? Since then Venus has been traveling lower and lower in the sky. The ancients view this as her “aging” or completing her cycle of the last two years. Today is the day Venus connects with the Sun at 22 degrees Leo – forming a tight conjunction. She is ‘reborn” in the Sun’s rays and begins her journey back to join Jupiter again. The Sun is the King of Summer, joining with the Venus, Queen of the Heavens. It’s a magical event – especially in the sign of Leo which is ruled by the Sun.

The Sun is our star – our source of light and warmth. Today is an opportunity for all of us to experience significant healing and growth. Our outworn ideas of love are burned away in the Sun’s rays. We have the chance to put aside old, zombie-type relationships, and create more room in our hearts for vulnerability and openness. The strongest light in our solar system penetrates every dark corner of our psyches and purifies us. We are reborn and join Venus on her travels as she moves towards becoming the Morning Star.

The planet Uranus is also involved in a trine with this event, giving us flashes of insight and shaking us loose from old patterns. A new life and mission begins. How have your values changed? Today is a reset. Reevaluate what has meaning for you – what you love and value – and let go of what you’ve outgrown.
