Ceres bids farewell to the February 2017 Eclipses

by  • 

July 18, 2017: From now until two weeks prior to The Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017 we remain under (fading) auspices of the February 10th Lunar and February 26 Solar Eclipses of 2017. You recal that the Lunar Eclipse fell @22Leo (the ‘worst foot forward’ degree, or sometimes, the ‘open mouth insert foot’ significator).

And of course, the Solar Eclipse series now of influence is

Vesta Enters Virgo: Ultra Pure

by  •

Vesta enters Virgo on July 17th. Her extreme focus becomes even more extreme in the sign of details and perfection. Concentration is cranked up until the strings hum with tension. 

This transit is about devotion to making it better. “It” will vary, according to the Virgo house(s) in your chart. There may be a specific detail that you become obsessed with. Or, a health issue will demand your attention. Service and mundane tasks can become religious – each small action is part of a ritual. Vesta in Virgo is about finding the sacred in daily life.

This can be a time to explore the deeper connotations of virginity. Virgo the Virgin meets the goddess whose Vestal Virgins tended her temple flame. The original meaning of virgin referred to an unmarried woman: her sexuality did not belong to any man. Taking that a step further with chastity, you keep that energy for yourself because you want to focus it elsewhere. You’re in control, and you decide what you to do with your body, your temple. 

The benefits of this transit include absolute purification – fervent deep cleaning on a physical/material level. Also, concentration can be enhanced to ungodly levels. You see the details that no one else sees, and you correct and polish ruthlessly. 

Bam.

The downside is probably obvious – crazy fixations on diet, exercise, criticism. It’s not good enough/never good enough, and you can’t see beyond the “flaw” because Vesta has blinded you to the bigger picture. Chastity is distorted into guilt, fear and repression. Sex becomes impure.

Healthy Vesta in Virgo is like exfoliation that reveals glowing skin. Distorted Vesta in Virgo continues to exfoliate until you bleed. 

In general, this transit will call your attention to something that can be improved and refined. Make sure you focus on the improvement, not just the flaw. 

Vesta will exit Virgo on September 18th, 2017.

July 17th, 2017: Play It Smart, Not Crazy

  • Venus in Gemini square Neptune Rx in Pisces: 14 degrees
  • Mars in Cancer square Uranus in Aries: 28 degrees

When the planets of love (Venus) and sex (Mars) both make hard aspects to the outer planets, you know today has the potential to go off the rails. There could be an emotional pursuit of someone who doesn’t exist – you’re “in love” with their Instagram account. Or, the drunken text that seems edgy-sexy at the time. But you regret it the next morning.

Of course, this can be about other things. Venus is what you want and Mars is what you do to get it. Venus covers money, self-esteem, beauty and all social interactions. Mars is anger, violence, action.

Neptune’s blurry square can enhance a craving for something impossible, so you end up making the wrong choice (Gemini). Uranus’ push can trigger impulsive actions as you snap or take a risk. The root cause will probably involve a need (Cancer) that must be met ASAP. 

As I wrote in this week’s horoscopes, Venus and Mars will calm down on the 18th with some beneficial aspects (post to follow on the 18th). So there is good potential here – Venus/Neptune can lead to something beautiful, compassionate and creative. Mars/Uranus can set you free as you give suffocating traditions/family the boot. The net result is expansion and opening. Exhale. 

But you have to be careful today. Really careful. Think before you act. Consider your options. If you’re tempted to dive headfirst into something, ask yourself if it’s in your best interests. If you’re trying to open something up or pursue, control your impatience and move carefully. Do you really want X, or is something else at play?
