Virgo (8/23-9/22): As a striver for perfection, there is a lot to perfect. I’m sure it keeps you busy. If not for the Virgos, we would all be victims of entropy. This month has you finishing a few projects before Mercury goes retrograde on the 10th. You will have time to think about how useful your recent creations may actually be. You will still be busy despite the 3 week phase of Mercury’s angular appearance from Earth of a backward motion. The ancients noticed that certain matters didn’t go well when commenced during this occurance. It brings heavier thoughts to the Gemini minds. It’s good to dwell on deeper meanings to your daily life. Yet, before the 10th, there is an opportunity to do something special for yourself on the 5th and 6th. There seems to be a growing convergence of human understanding that crosses social boundaries as stopping destruction becomes a matter of course. And you are drawn into this unity of consciousness as Mercury stirs your long-ago values. The 19th has a dramatic spiritual message about it. You may have changed a direction in your life and now you are drawn into a more traditional way of thinking. You feel a need to travel. That doesn’t have to be a long journey. Your higher mind needs exposure to practical learning. The 22nd takes your mind to the physical realm where progress has paved over the best fishing spots. You may have a lot to say about our culture after this learning experience that will end by mid-June. I see your poetic side gathering thoughts and feelings from this retrograde Mercury that need perfect expression. June will bring out the wisdom you gather this May. The 19th-25th is a juicy, sweet time that can be applicable in many ways to give yourself a break.

Virgo (8/23-9/22):  There seems to be a great opportunity to replace what hasn’t been working in your life with some very constructive successes this month. Your energy is solar charged on the 2nd as Mercury aligns with the Sun. This can make you stubborn enough to get through the dynamic endings you may be confronted with as the month begins. There are many situations, which are working to slow your progress and these elements must be removed from your life as far more enabling matters are available to you. The 7th is good to establish a new foundation for yourself to use a platform to bring positive changes around you. The 8th can be a battle of sorts, but you can easily outwit your opponents in the long run. You are able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, as the saying goes. Even if you feel powerless against the power of another, you will easily regain your power as Mercury moves into the compatible Sign of Taurus on the 10th. You will feel re-supplied with what you need because you are able to manifest whatever may be lacking to fulfill your dreams. You find the beauty of your land by clearing away the brush and over-growth. For some Virgins, this may be literally true if you have real brush to clear. For others, it is simply a clearing of things which are not useful to your progress at this time. The 17th is a beautiful day for such razing. The 18th adds excitement to new beginnings, which present themselves as an unexpected opportunity. The 24th makes any changes a bit challenging, but you will see how great beauty can arise from the new vistas you have gingerly entered. You are supported by good fortune and a solid philosophy for the final week of April. There can be great advances by legislation as forces for change and uplifting of those in need fits your ideals for a caring and helpful society. You are seated near the power this month and you are, as always, the real power behind the throne. There is amazing happiness that can be found with a relationship, as well as your social involvements. Your involvement is critical.

Virgo (8/23-9/22): In the astrological picture of our purpose and existence, we see the Big Bang of Aries, the formation of the Earth in Taurus, the emergence of an atmosphere in Gemini, and the creation of our oceans and streams from the watery Sign of Cancer. Now, man and lesser animals emerge in the Leo domain from all the elements needed for life. Virgo completes the table with the plant life to sustain man. But your Sign is not just about plants, such as wheat and barley, it’s also about the healthy aspects of greenery. It’s about the healing properties found in nature, which have been added to our diets to keep us healthy. Your Sign creates a sense of good health and the proper way to share that knowledge with each other. In the early 1900’s, this natural method of healing was replaced by allopathic medicine, which is like feeding plastic to a rabbit. It is the job of the Virgo element and people to be healthy in a natural way. Then we can truly have an idealism for society to evolve with laws and mutual concern for the welfare of all, which is shown by the next Sign of Libra. On the 2nd day of March, you feel a sense of responsibility which would fit your obligation to keep others healthy, but it also stirs your romantic urges, which is a healthy expression of living life. Your Ruling Planet, Mercury, is moving rapidly through 3 different Signs this month. Changes come quickly, which makes it hard to spend time analyzing all the details the way you like to do. Just hang on this month and have faith that you will be carried safely along to your planned destinations. The 9th becomes a time of social involvement and dealing with a partner. You only have to do this for 20 days until Mercury moves into Aries on the 27th. That will free you to act on your deeper emotional needs in your own unique manner. The 17th is a high energy time, but there are health related issues to work on as well. The 21st adds wisdom to your choices. The 23rd brings aesthetics to your surroundings. The 26th adds a deeper passion to your romantic life. Then, on the 27th, you get a break from tending to the needs of your partner. It’s time to do some self-nurturing though that still involves another who can benefit from your personal needs as well. There can be endings and new beginnings to make life meaningful. Be prepared to grasp a fast moving brass ring for the next couple of weeks. Think fast and act without hesitation. You can sort it all out later.

Virgo (8/23-9/22): Your hard working nature will have more traction after the 3rd, when Mercury turns forward in it’s apparent motion again. There is a “shadow phase” of Mercury that happens for several days before and after the 3 weeks of retrograde. This phase includes the degrees that Mercury covered during those 3 weeks. Fortunately, this shadow phase is not a big issue. The forward motion of Mercury can easily resolve any unfinished business as it passes over those difficult degrees. The 11th can be a time to think deeply on love and life. You may be surprised at how accepting you can be about some emotional issues. If you are in a position to speak to power or groups of people, your words can bring dramatic changes where needed. The 14th brings you to a different energy as Mercury transits into Aquarius. Though this is not a Sign of compatibility for Virgos, it is easy to make adjustments that will be required for a few weeks. There are likely to be some health issues, but those can be avoided by practicing good health. Your Sign Ruler, Mercury, will love the wealth of data and knowledge to be gained, but a lot of that process involves work. You can handle that. The 24th can be too much excitement. The FYI can be TMI. Not a good day to be on a journey of any kind. Friends have a lot to say after mid-month. You will need to schedule all they have to tell you. You may need to sift through a lot of dirt to find the gold. Watch your speed these last two weeks of February. Let yourself feel the love of this month. Find a good cuddle partner. Love is a tidal wave this month; overpowering.

Virgo (8/23-9/22):

Among more important subjects, your Sign rules insects. That includes worker ants and worker bees, which are definitely in the Virgo family. Your nature seems to find where work needs to be done. Usually, the work you do is far greater than the appreciation you receive for it. The Capricorn month, we are in, involves love and creativity for your Sign during this leisure time of the first 3 weeks of January. Your mind comes up with some creative ideas to make improvements to your love life, if needed. However, this month is not only about pleasure. Your Solar 5th house is Capricorn. That creates a serious way of thinking as a part of your basic logic. There are higher and lower levels to the Capricorn nature. That’s where the Virgo trait of discretion comes into play. Generally, your mind attracts matters of various kinds including, deep emotions, intimacy, joint finances, death and dying, secrets, and the occult. That’s just the short menu. You seem to be in a happy mood to start the month. That could be because Mercury moves into Aquarius on the 2nd. That tends to lighten things up a lot. The New Moon combines with an erratic aspect on the 1st to begin a few weeks of January on a note of the unexpected and wackiness, in general. Changes occur on the 5th. Your mind is in the perfect state to allow love to enter your world. This makes for a fun weekend that you may not want to end. Stay grounded during your natural high episodes. Friends from the past could be calling Saturday morning the 13th. Be aware of the fact that they could have hidden internal damage. The 18th has Uranus turning direct. This will be good for long journeys. This will be in effect until mid-summer. Your thoughts turn heavy on the 28th. A certain health issue could arise after the past few months of mysterious symptoms. If you haven’t noticed anything, you are probably doing fine. A stubborn determination can work in your favor to finish out the final 3 days of this intense month.

Virgo (8/23-9/22):

Among more important subjects, your Sign rules insects. That includes worker ants and worker bees, which must be in the Virgo family. Your nature seems to find where work needs to be done. Usually, the work you do is far greater than the appreciation you receive for it. The Scorpio month, we are in, involves work that requires more communication and short trips. Your mind comes up with some ideas to make improvements in the way you do your work. However, this month is not only about work. Your Solar 3rd house is Scorpio. That creates a Scorpionic way of thinking as a part of your basic character. There are higher and lower levels to the Scorpio nature. That’s where the Virgo trait of discretion comes into play. Generally, your mind attracts matters of various kinds including, deep emotions, intimacy, joint finances, death and dying, secrets, and the occult. That’s just the short menu. You seem to be in a happy mood to start the month. The first week is a little difficult as changes cause upsets the first two days. Then the New Moon combines with an erratic aspect on the 4th to begin a few weeks of November on a note of the unexpected and wackiness, in general. There can be some computer problems on the 4th on a national level, but protect your circuitry if threatened by weather or hackers. Changes occur on the 5th. Your mind is in the perfect state to allow love to enter your world. This makes for a fun weekend that you don’t want to end. With Daylight Savings time added to your euphoric mental condition, it can be a hazardous week ahead. Stay grounded during your natural high episodes. Friends from the past could be calling Saturday morning the 13th. Be aware of the fact that they could have hidden internal damage. The 18th brings the beauty of nature to let you breathe freely for a change. This will be needed because of the Lunar Eclipse effect as it approaches that night. Beware of strangers. Not good for long journeys. Wait a few months if you can. Your thoughts turn heavy, but home is your refuge from certain realities. A stubborn determination can work in your favor to finish out the final 3 days of this intense month.
