Mercury’s Transit of Virgo

by  •

Mercury enters Virgo on September 5th. Mercury rules this sign, so details, examinations and thinking/talking about solutions will dominate. 

Here is the ultimate analyzer – Mercury in Virgo misses nothing. Helpful critiques (whether people want to hear them or not) are a theme, along with the identification of errors and solutions. Virgo is an Earth sign, so all information is practical and immediately applicable, but details are also refined. Mercury in Virgo is always searching for the best, the most effective, the cleanest. 

This can be a dry, somewhat negative transit for Mercury because the downside of things is noticed first. Mercury in Virgo can search for the worst before looking for the best. Ideally, solutions come next, but the distorted version of this energy is constant criticisms and worrying. Picking at what’s wrong until it bleeds. And then worrying about the bleeding. 

This is the transit to find the best solutions. Search and identify, then figure out how you can make it better – don’t get stuck in the gerbil wheel of endless mini crises. 

Here are the aspects Mercury in Virgo will make:

  • Sept 6th: inconjunct to Chiron Rx in Aries (0 deg)
  • Sept 6th: conjunct Pallas (1 deg)
  • Sept 7th: trine Uranus Rx in Taurus and Saturn in Capricorn (2 deg)
  • Sept 7th: inconjunct Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (3 deg)
  • Sept 13th: opposite Neptune rx in Pisces (14 deg)
  • Sept 15th: trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn (18 deg)
  • Sept 16th: sextile Jupiter in Scorpio (19 deg)
  • Sept 20th: conjunct the Sun (28 deg)
  • Sept 21st: trine Juno in Taurus (28 deg)
  • Sept 21st: Libra ingress

Astrology of Now: “Be here, now!”

by  • 

When you find a planet or asteroid at 0° in a person’s chart, it’s likely to be significant. It may contain a great deal of the pure energy of that sign, and the individual may need to manifest that during his or her lifetime. Since today, Pallas Athena, the asteroid of wisdom is at 0° Virgo, I was curious to see who has this interesting combination of sign and asteroid at that critical degree — after all both Virgo and Pallas are associated with craft. I love it when sometimes astrology is so clear, and so visual. This is a […]

  • Pallas enters Virgo

Venus/Vesta

Carrying forward yesterday’s influences, Venus in harmony with Vesta suggests focus on an ideal/philosophy/area of exploration is supported by a relationship. It’s acceptable for you to be devoted to this, and it may even come off as charming. Too, this could be about the higher ideal of relationships – a new and exalted way to balance faith/exploration with what someone else wants. There’s a sense of beautiful justice as the story unfolds.

Pallas

Pallas into Virgo filters strategies through the lense of perfection. This is the extremely detailed strategy or the concise pattern that neatly connects A with B. Facts meet creativity and the goal is to find the ultimate solution. 

Virgo’s purity factors into this. It’s about doing what’s best and finding the cleanest way to apply what you know. Integration is important – Pallas in this sign suggests picking out the most important details, discarding everything else and following that essential pattern which will (hopefully) create a finely-tuned system. Pallas helps you see how all the little parts fit together.

Obsessively detailed jobs will flourish under this transit, especially if they involve healing, fixing, upgrading, editing or specialised craftmanship. 

Pallas will exit Virgo for Libra on November 4th, 2018.
