New Beginnings - New paths, initiating, high energy, taking action, innovative approaches.
Sun in Virgo
The Virgo Sun sharpens your intellect for all activities requiring mental competence. You are extremely capable of delving into complex manuscripts, technical manuals, and writing concise instructions. Your nose for investigation is especially acute since you are more focused, detached, and rational. With this solar influence, you can dig deep into research and catalog volumes of material, which you can then organize and objectively interpret. Your analytical abilities are elevated, and so are your criticisms. Clarity, persistence, and practicality color much of your personality at this time. You approach things with a conservative eye. Your love of perfection is hard to match. Few have your intellectual muscle, so you may have to be more tolerant of lesser minds. Avoid analyzing to the point of being destructive, especially when it comes to people's pet projects or even feelings. The tendency with this solar influence is to disregard other individual's hard work and efforts. Your desire to judge the fruits of other people's labor can make you seem arrogant and mean-spirited. Try not to give the kind of criticism that you would not want to hear your own work, for you may receive a dose of your own medicine.
Mercury in Virgo
The Virgo Mercury is a wonderful aid to help you through the most arduous of mental tasks requiring large reserves of patience and diligence. Rest assured that you can plow through volumes of technical instructions, research statistics, and pages of data without getting completely lost. This planetary influence helps you systematize information in an orderly way within the recesses of your brain, which in turn, helps you separate the wheat from the chaff as you examine the text and numbers before you. You approach matters from a rational standpoint, analyzing everything with a razor sharp mind. But tread carefully when dealing with human beings, who do not follow predictable patterns to a tee. In fact, homo sapiens are woefully irrational and can be a slave to their emotions. Try not to be overly critical of others who seem to be rather senseless in their choices. You could be viewed as a cold automaton completely inept at human interaction. Unfortunately, life is rather unpredictable and also uncontrollable despite our best efforts. Have a little compassion, for someday, you may be in need of some compassion yourself. Don't lose your humor or your creative spirit in the process.
Venus in Virgo
The Virgo Venus puts a slight damper on the dreamy idealism of unrestricted love. This is a time when you are likely to proceed with caution, allowing your rational mind to have precedence over your heart. New liaisons and romances are still possible, though doused with a practical view, perhaps even some skepticism. Instead of the unfettered 'out of this world' experience that Cupid's arrow can sometimes induce, you will have one foot firmly placed on the ground and a checklist of pros and cons on hand. You seek perfection and will scrutinize and criticize imperfections when you see them in others. Although it is easy to be the one flinging the stones, you won't take stones flung at you as easily. In fact, you may feel less confident about your ability to attract anyone to you. Your insecurities may show themselves more plainly. Keep in mind that your high standards may be seem unreasonable and anal to the person on the receiving end. Ask yourself if you would want to be judged in the same way. Whenever you feel the urge to offer helpful hints, keep in mind that your insights may not be appreciated.
Mars in Cancer
The Cancer Mars may draw out some of your unconscious fears, which can make you feel vulnerable at this time. Emotionally, you tend to be more sensitive and touchy, acutely aware of the slings and arrows of daily existence. In fact you may wish to erect barriers of protection between you and the outside world. There can be a tendency to view society in polar extremes, in terms of 'us' and 'them.' Those who belong in your innermost circle, such as family and loved ones, are people you wish to shield from harms way. Your sense of vulnerability may manifest in the creation of psychological and physical barriers as well. You may find yourself fortifying your home various devices. Safety is your number one concern. You need predictable and assured outcomes. For this reason, you may become more of a homebody at this time, tending to household concerns rather than worldly ones. You may spend more time with your parents than normal, relishing the familiar comforts that families can offer. This is a good time to focus your energy on household matters, as long as you refrain from being overly controlling, or too fearful in the process.
Jupiter in Taurus
The Taurus Jupiter will have you grinning all the way to the bank. This an especially auspicious period for all matters related to your pocketbook and for enjoyment of the finer things in life. Your financial outlook may have momentarily brightened. Perhaps an extra bonus comes your way or you feel optimistic about a potential salary increase. This would not be a bad time to get a lottery ticket or toss a few nickels into the one-armed bandit slot machines at a nearby casino, as long as you play for loose change and nothing more. For business endeavors that involve some financial risks, luck seems to have stepped on your side for now, but no lucky streak can withstand poor planning for too long, so make sure your numbers are calculated correctly. Your love for lavishness may also increase during this time. Fine cuisine and rich wines delight your palette, but don't overdo it. Watch that you do not spend the extra cash influx all at once. If you do, make sure that you get something that you will have no regrets about later on. Otherwise, this planetary influence can help you increase your wealth and possessions.
Saturn in Libra
Saturn's influence in any astrological sign calls for a conservative, mature, and potentially restrictive manifestation of that particular sign's attributes. It is a planet which requires that individuals take personal responsibility for their actions. Should you fail to heed the wisdom of this planet's demands, that is, to act with conscious foresight, common sense, and a willingness to work, then you may find yourself the unlucky recipient of Saturn's more difficult powers. You may slip into the unconscious sways of Saturn's paternalistic, fearful, and controlling side. Saturn shows you where you need to work in your life. If you fear love, then you must work in that arena. Not doing so will cause you isolation and grief. For example, Saturn in Libra, the sign of relationships, can connote a cautious approach to marriage or fear of partnerships, as well as the ability to commit. The choice is yours. Do not be mistaken, Saturn may toss a few more obstacles in your path than other planets, but those obstacles are always meant to further your soul's development. Although the terrain may be rough to trod, the reward is greater stability and wisdom. Once you've met the challenge of Saturn's call, you will have evolved into a stronger being.
SATURN RETROGRADE UNTIL 13 OF JUNE
When Saturn goes into retrograde mode it is time to reexamine all the things in our lives. It is
most important that when we examine our lives, we attempt to improve them.
Saturn also represents limitations. It is a time for us to restructure. Saturn deals with
programs, organizations and all things that deal with better systems and processes. It is
about duty, loyalty, perseverance, endurance, form, shape, substance, boundaries and
responsibility. It is about being held accountable to others as well as to yourself. It is about
building an empire; creating a solid foundation from which to grow from or toward. Without
a solid foundation, we become unstable and cannot fulfill our soul's instruction for this
lifetime. We could wander without direction, cause, goals or vision; much less have a dream
to hold or work toward.
Saturn retrograde period will assist you in completing anything that is left undone,
unattended to, partially completed or not completed at all. It does not pressure you to do
these things, but gives you time to do them.
The important events or things that Saturn in retrograde brings to us include a need to
become more aware of our own authority, power and place in this world. It makes us winder
where we fit into society. Do you allow society to over power and limit you?
Saturn retrograde assists with pushing you beyond your limitations by showing you that you
are capable of doing far more than you thought you could. It also can take those blind folds
off that you keep on your eyes. Saturn gives you the ability to see more deeply into people,
situations and things around you. It brings more wisdom to you; but remember that this
wisdom is usually gained from hard work and hands on experiences.
Saturn gives us strength during this time period. It is a tough process and not an easy one.
The reward to all those that toughed it out during this time will be well worth it. One of
the biggest rewards is grace. When you have received it, you know that you have done well.
It can also be defined as strength in spirit, you may have a deeper sense of compassion for
others and self, and an understanding of yourself and wisdom on all levels.
Uranus
Uranus is a restless energy that gets you off your feet and onto the streets. There is no room for apathy nor complacency when this planet touches your life. In fact, you're likely to be very restless, roaring to go whenever Uranus makes his mark. In terms of consciousness, Uranus is great for shaking delusions right out of your head.
Of course, it won't always be an easy force to reckon with, but then change is seldom easy to handle when we are comfy with the status quo, even if we don't like the status quo. Old situations may end and new ones begin. If you are in a relationship that is stuck in old patterns, then expect external forces to shake things up. Perhaps a new love interest threatens an existing one. You might quit a meaningless job to find something more fulfilling or it may be taken away from you.
Although endings are often difficult to adjust to, they help create room for new opportunities around the corner. Uranus is the planet that helps create those moments in your life that, in retrospect, mark the milestones and turning points. Embrace change, don't fear it.
Neptune
Neptune beckons you to slow down, way down. When Neptune touches you personally, you'll know it. Neptune will do what is necessary to dissolve elements in your life that need to go, sometimes without your consent. Friendships, loves, work, people, and even your own health may slip away in order to help you focus on yourself. When our minds are full of chatter and we're too busy with power deals or mortgage payments, Neptune will readjust the landscape so that we will have ample time for our inner lives. This planet is about transcendence over the physical world. You are asked to examine what is real and what is not. For example, a love affair may not turn out to be what you expected. It may be time to set it free. Neptune is also about enlightenment. When you feel this planet's influence, take the opportunity to find divine guidance through meditation or some other spiritual activity. More than likely, you'll receive the answers that you are seeking. Neptune is also a powerful ally for creative types. Visions and dreams can be vivid. Compassion is also elevated so give of yourself and help others
Pluto
Pluto is a physically small planet that happens to pack a big wallop. Pluto has been associated with the grim reaper bearing death and destruction. Not a fun lovin' reputation to be sure! However, Pluto is also responsible for that deep fate-like bond you feel when you've met your soul mate. Pluto gives emotional intensity to everything his beams reach. Deep inner desires generally get drawn out with this planet's influence. Just remember, there are always two sides at work. If you've been living a conscious existence with no extra karma to bear in the present incarnation, then Pluto's touch may not be as difficult as it would be for someone who lives selfishly, inflicting pain wherever they go. This is not to say that you will be spared the usual trials and tribulations that happen to everyone. People come, people go. Relationships end once they've fulfilled their purpose. Life needs death to maintain a balance. Extra sensory perception, power, and sexual liaisons are also under Pluto's realm, so you may acquire more of them than usual. Most of all, Pluto helps transform your soul. Rise to the challenge, don't cringe, and you'll grow stronger
North Node
The north and south nodes of the Moon represent our karmic direction and our karmic past, respectively. They are often called the Head of the Dragon and the Tail of the Dragon. The south node refers to past lives, and the sign it's in shows us the gifts, talents, and experiences that we are born with. Since it represents where we've already been, it also indicates a place of comfort and familiarity; thus, it is easy to slip into south node behaviors since we are already so well acquainted with them. On the other hand, the sign that the north node is in shows us what qualities and experiences we should be developing in this lifetime. Since these areas are unknown and unfamiliar, it is not always easy for us to go in the direction we should. However, the demands of our karmic path require that we orient ourselves towards the behaviors and experiences indicated by the sign our north node is in, no matter how difficult. In this direction lies our life path, our ultimate goals, and the fulfillment of the purpose of this lifetime
