Virgo (8/23-9/22): Mercury is retrograde, still, until the 18th day of this new year. Mercury as your Sign ruler will be retrograde 4 different times this year for 3 weeks each time. Usually, this planet of the intellect is retrograde only 3 times per year. This shows the importance of our thought processes toward the physical world around us. There can be conservation methods with added importance this year, and you connect on a feeling level with this progress. The month begins with your mind drawn back to memories of recent years and the times of love and beauty that makes life worth breathing in. It is good for the Virgos to reflect on the sunny days and just shred the unsatisfactory days. The 6th-8th are 3 great days to be of a light-hearted and open-minded preparedness for the fun and excitement. See what positive thinking can bring to your life? You seem to be moving toward a unique place or situation. This happens as Mercury forms some interesting angles to Mars around the 17th-20th time duration. There could be an interesting person who appears in your life during, and throughout, those 4 days. Isn’t it great when life can still have times of high energy and excitement. The only problem is that there could be an altering of plans to cause frustration. Plans don’t have to be canceled if a few adjustments can be agreed to. The month finishes out differently for each Virgoan according to what Mercury does to your natal planets. See your local astrologer to be sure. Generally, it’s a fun and playful time for romance or creativity. Whatever ends during this time, can bring peace.

Virgo (8/23-9/22): Prepare yourself for an extremely busy month of November. Mercury is your Sign Ruler. It represents the details and mundane work of life. This month it passes through your Solar 3rd House for half the month and then it goes into your Solar 4th House. Your exact birth chart may show Mercury in the precise houses for your particular time of birth, but there is validity in general if we assign Virgo as the Sign rising on the day you were born. This gives a general way of looking at the relationship to your Sun Sign when we don’t have your birth time. In this method it shows an activation of the 3rd and 4th Houses this month. That means that you will be running around like a chicken with its head cut off, so to speak. Then you can settle down for a happy Thanksgiving at home. Friends from the past, kick off the action on the 8th as they drift back into your life to stir your mind with deep thoughts and happy memories. They probably won’t change your vote that day. Voting has to be a top priority for everyone as Pluto moves closer to where it was during the War of Independence as we broke away from a misguided belief system imposed by the British. God loves gays and he doesn’t need a gun to make his point. He loves non-gays too, of course. Humans are his creation and he gets a kick out of all the expressions of his spiritual creations. Anyway, there are a lot of expressions to come from this election. We are setting a tone for the next 200+ years after our Pluto return. Strangely, Pluto returns to where it was at the birth of our nation, on Christmas week this year. Pluto is the ruler of nuclear energy and bombs. There is a threat from a friend of Trump as Putin creates that danger. Don’t worry. The recent UFO (or UAP) sightings near the Big Dipper are a warning about the possible use of these weapons by Russia. The Big Dipper is Ursa Major, which means the Big Bear, which is the symbol for the Russian flag. Aliens don’t want to live on a contaminated planet, so they will stop the use of massive destructive weapons. Thanks guys! You have too much happening this month to write in this short article. Call me for free info.

Virgo (8/23-9/22): Mercury is the “ruler” of your Sign, as most Virgins know. Mercury has been retrograde for 3 weeks, but finally the effects of its particular frequency creates better results for your immediate life. Finally, you can begin to get some results from your efforts. Mercury has affected some nice changes in your whole personage over the past two months. Now, you are the shiny new product as you seem to be aging backwards. Mercury has woven you into the fabric of your work, and that’s no yarn. New technologies and work techniques give you plenty to complain about as you set out to master the “new” before anyone else can. As I check the Cosmic Menu, I see that all the plates are some form of a deep emotional reunion. This builds to a higher pitch until the 6th. That means that the results of this feeling could carry you through the coming weekend. The consolation prizes would be elation and good fortune. Your life can be both love and money without choosing one over the other. Mercury moves back into Libra on the 10th after a 16 day dip back into your Sign. You’ve been missing, but now you’re back to the job of living. Money will accumulate and your worries fade to black. Your self-esteem glows brightly and others notice. The 22nd appears to be an exciting time. It’s like a roller coaster with a thrilling drop from a high place, followed by some twists and turns. However, there are things to be done during this final week of October. Planning for Halloween is almost essential to your earthy ways. Get everything ready by the 25th because your partner could get a wild hair for a romantic excursion that day. Then there are more activities to contend with this final week. The 26th is highly energetic for building or teaching. The 27th has a stone wall across your path. Go around it, rather than ramming it. That decision will bring great happiness on the 29th. OK, stop and catch your breath, now. The month ends sweetly.

Virgo (8/23-9/22): Ancient humans have always seen the Virgo time of year as a time to make sure of the details we need to survive the coming winter. That’s why the Virgins are so detail oriented. They are also very health conscious because good health will help us to be in balance with the changing season at the equinox of fall that arrives in the latter part of September. Virgos are the best workers with a compulsive sense of duty to do that work. The work is the harvest that comes from the culmination of the growing cycle of all plants. The plants give us the healing powers our bodies need. Thus the Virgoans are deeply concerned with health matters. This Virgo tendency is found in different areas of our birth charts. It shows how we fulfill our traits of this Sign, especially at this time of year. So, September is a change from the fun filled month of Leo. The time has come to do the serious work to guarantee our well being for the months ahead. For the Virgo native, the month starts on a serious note as you are able to apply all the knowledge you have gained to assure your security. This is also a time to learn from your relationships. Of course you need to feel perfected in your own self, and Mercury goes retrograde on the 9th to help you achieve that perfection. For awhile your social life seems to go flat. Mercury wants you to review your affect on others as it moves back into your Sign by the 23rd. Just a little personal tweaking will set you on the proper course to experience better human bonding by next month. Don’t be discouraged. You will emerge as a great person for all to see and know. Go with what you know when the Full Moon puts a strain on a relationship on the 10th. Any disconnect you feel now, will be made better on the 26th and 27th. This can be 2 days of reestablishing a romance with deep meaning like you once had. There is more than just the joy of human intimacy involved. There can be valuable awareness of how to have this happiness on a permanent level. Finish up any incomplete security issues and be ready to bask in the safety of the work you have done as cooler weather settles in.

Virgo (8/23-9/22): Life is moving rapidly from sunrise to sunrise. The first 3 weeks can be exhausting as you try to keep up or ahead of everyone else. It’s a losing race for you while the Sun transits your Solar 12th house. The best advice is to do as much as you can, but take naps when you don’t get a good night’s sleep. You might feel just fine as you speed along like Mercury is doing, but like a meteor it’s easy to crash or burn. Old dreams and thoughts of love gone-by may haunt you as the 1st day of August unfolds. Don’t be deluded by remembering only the sweetness and forgetting the bitterness. We humans tend to do that. When Mercury enters your Sign on the 4th, you will be too busy to dwell on the corpses of those affairs which died years ago. Still, it’s not a bad thing to think about the good times as you may notice on the 9th. Happy memories of passionate times can be enough to boost you out of the doldrums. Any actual contact would have to be done with the utmost of secrecy. Usually, we realize why things ended, once we are eyeball to eyeball, again. Long journeys come to mind on the 16th, but if you decide to take a long trip, do it before the 24th. Schedules can get screwed up after that. Then it’s better to wait until next year for it to be smooth sailing. There are messes to work through from the 18th-21st. The 22nd is better as you are able to follow your subconscious promptings in a deeply meaningful way. The Sun moves into your Sign that day as well. If you did learn to slow down the first 3 weeks, you will be fit and ready to tackle the aggravating details of your daily life pursuits. Those matters also included a great chance to restore any health problems after the full Moon on the 11th. The 27th is your day to post-up at the starting line as a new yearly cycle for Virgoans begins. You know what you want and now is the time to begin.

Virgo (8/23-9/22): The 3rd is the end of Mercury’s retrograde phase. While retrograde for 3 weeks, Mercury backed out of Gemini and moved into the compatible Sign of Taurus. So, even though it was retrograde, you have been able to benefit in some way during this part of its backward motion. That was a subset of time that lasted from the 22nd of May until the 13th of June, even though it turns direct in motion on the 3rd of June. This means that your mind has dredged up some hopeful possibilities with a philosophical salvation during that time. Deep thinking can now be put into positive career efforts, or at least it can bring respect to your standing in life. During the forward motion of Mercury, there comes a favorable boost to your creative abilities on the 10th. There may be something eating away at you, and that something needs a creative outlet. Your creativity is usually related to working with the earthen soil. Try sculpting with clay. You may be surprised at your own creations. At least they represent and contain your inner feelings, which are now manifested inside these clay creations. I hope you don’t miss the opportunity to try this “fix” to your aggravations. When Mercury gets to Gemini on the 13th, you feel more like doing the most responsible things you can imagine. If you have a career, you can feel good about having solutions to work-related problems. There is likely to be great joy from this period of higher thinking and you will experience it stronger as the 20th approaches. This could also be a day of great physical pleasure. As an earth sign, that is a healthy prescription to balance your life and well-being. Life may have been slightly frustrating, but after the 20th, you become stronger and more certain about the path you have chosen.
