Sun in Virgo
Monday August 23, 2010
Yay, the Sun is in Virgo and I for one welcome the busy bee energies. It's still the dog days here in the humid South, but there are subtle hints of the changing season. The Sun Virgo is a time of solar waning, with shorter days. And that kicks us into gear, to get more done, and prepare for the winter months of darkness. Traditionally, it's a time of preparation -- getting ducks in a row.
And good preparation comes from anticipating your needs based on commonsense. Virgo is an earth sign that pays close attention to what's happening right here, right now. With the vitality of the Sun here, we can take stock of our situation, in a realistic way. Virgo has a unique prescience or foresight that comes from knowing how things are likely to play out. Rather than accepting anyone else's word as gospel, Virgo the analyzer prods us to see for ourself. We observe, listen to first-hand accounts and use the physical senses, to discern the situation on the ground.
Sun Virgo, with Mercury in retrograde, are allies to consider practical ways to adapt to the erratic and unstable economic conditions. It's timely for simplifying further, where possible, and making sure essential needs are met. Watching what's going on there, and using the Virgo powers of thinking it through, you can anticipate changes in your field, or possible job insecurity. It's a good time to consider a Plan B, or C, that can be a transition step if necessary.
Virgo Sun Themes:
•Consider changes in your diet for lightness, greater mental clarity, more calm.
•Clear out, clean up, downsize, weed the garden.
•Finishing touches, editing, research, citizen journalism.
•Creating solid neighborhood ties or friend/family groups that can help each other through hard times.
•Taking mental notes on what's going on, and taking steps to prepare yourself.
