  • Virgo Sun trine Uranus Rx in Taurus (6 deg)

Continuing the vibe of the Mars/Uranus trine, Sun/Uranus illuminates the integration of precision and change. New slivers of insight emerge and you discover fresh angles to practical solutions. There’s a drive for independence, but it comes out in a careful way. This is gradual liberation from old habits, one detail at a time.

Consider if there’s a new purpose taking shape – it won’t be dramatic, but you may notice a shift in how you approach certain problems or how your daily routines support you. For those interested in personal upgrades, this aspect urges you to take pride (Sun) in the small changes – the little thingsl add up.

Mercury’s Transit of Virgo

Mercury enters Virgo on August 29th at 3:47 AM EDT. Mercury rules this sign and its power as a detailed, truthful communicator will be at full strength.

This is the transit for exact information: there’s no wiggle room about what’s correct. As an Earth sign, Virgo delivers practical, physical manifestations of Mercury’s info. Flaws are identified and sensible improvements are verbalized: there is no ambiguity. Because of this sign’s precise nature and perfectionist drive, improvements often come across as critiques, especially when they’re unsolicited. But the critiques are usually right.

Although this transit is brief, you can maximize its energy if you’re involved in any sort of detailed research or problem-solving. If you’re not sure if a situation is beneficial, try writing down the undisputed facts. Don’t worry about what you suspect or hope for – just concentrate on what you know. You’ll quickly see the truth.

The first aspect Mercury makes is a sextile to Pallas in Scorpio – psychological or secret strategies are supported by exact info. Great for research or taking a deep dive into uncomfortable subject matter. You’ve got logic on your side if things become too intense.

Sometimes, Mercury in Virgo’s information becomes labyrinthian as you get lost in the granular details and and forget about the overall picture. Details are crucial but remember that nothing works in isolation. Ultimately, Virgo is about integration – take what you’ve analyzed and see how it fits in with the rest.

Here are the aspects Mercury in Virgo will make:

  • Aug 29th: sextile Pallas in Scorpio (1 deg)

  • Aug 30th: conjunct Juno (3 deg)

  • Aug 31st: inconjunct Chiron Rx in Aries (4 deg)

  • Sep 1st: trine Uranus Rx in Taurus (6 deg)

  • Sep 1st: square Ceres in Sagittarius (6 deg)

  • Sep 3rd: conjunct Mars and the Sun (10 deg)

  • Sep 5th: opposite Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (13 deg)

  • Sep 5th: trine Saturn Rx in Capricorn (14 deg)

  • Sep 6th: square Jupiter in Sagittarius (15 deg)

  • Sep 6th: trine the Capricorn South Node (15 deg)

  • Sep 7th: opposite Neptune Rx in Pisces (17 deg)

  • Sep 8th: trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn (20 deg)

  • Sep 12th: trine Vesta in Taurus (27 deg)

New Moon in Virgo: Get Specific

The August 30th Virgo New Moon (6 deg) conjoins Mars (actions), Venus (attraction) plus Mercury (communication) and Juno (partnership agreements). So we have a precise (Virgo) new beginning that involves actions uniting with attraction -getting what you want. But also, precise communication/solutions (Mercury) about a partnership.

And the whole thing trines Uranus Rx in Taurus, giving us an easily manageable shot of change. You can initiate an agreement that’s different from anything you’ve done before, but it’s not so crazy that you’ll be uncomfortable. One or two small things (Virgo) will be different.

I like this New Moon – it combines Mars and Venus which is always nice. You act and attract what you want (assuming you act according to the Virgo agenda – precise, careful, gradual, practical). Venus and Juno really encourage all partnership issues (romantic and business). And Mercury (ruler of Virgo) adds powerful words or facts – think it, say it and act on what you say. You don’t have to do anything crazy, just take one small step in a different direction.

The only fly in the ointment is this New Moon’s inconjunct to Chiron Rx in Aries -there will be some insecurities about what you can’t fix. It won’t be perfect, but that’s ok. Virgo wants it to be perfect, but when Chiron in Aries is involved you have to accept that there’s going to be some blood or uncomfortable moments of assertiveness.

But overall, I see this New Moon as a prime opportunity to act on the specifics of what you want in the context of an agreement or commitment. Don’t be afraid to dig into the details – if you want the colour to be a couple of shades lighter, just say it. This is the time to get picky and have all your wants on paper. The difference of a half degree/inch/shade/is crucial.: is it crazy to get that specific? When Uranus trines Virgo, the answer is “Nope.” Uranus gives you latitude of what would normally be considered eccentric or odd. Combined with a mega Virgo New Moon, you have the space to be as crazy precise and exacting and anxious as you want.

But it won’t always be like this. Take advantage of this vibe now
