August 28th, 2019: Progress And What Can’t Be Fixed

Sun
The inconjunct to Chiron illuminates what hurts and what cannot be fixed. Virgo Sun’s purpose is to correct, but this influence will expose the wound that must be confronted rather than neatly tidied up. The focus on what sticks out like a sore thumb (Chiron in Aries) can emphasize distorted Virgo issues of not being good enough/smart enough.
But the messy, aggressive issue can increase awareness that this is a work in progress which requires empathy – helping others by acknowledging their battle rather than enforcing militant solutions. The Sun’s square to Ceres also hints at a crisis of nurturing – trying so hard to care and protect that good intentions become smothering. Freedom or ideals can trigger anxiety, with a resulting focus on “shoulds” and details that stifle growth.
Mars
Mars/Uranus is a nice antidote to the above. Precise, studious actions are injected with enough innovation that they enable change. Moving forward step-by-step can gradually reveal new details. Excellent for working on something that requires careful progress. This aspect also helps to counteract the Virgo paralysis that occurs with the loop of endless corrections: Uranus provides a nudge that keeps you moving.
If you get caught up in anxiety or fears of failure, slow down and initiate one small change at a time.

The Venus/Mars conjunction has another layer as it makes an awkward aspect to Chiron. A wound or sensitivity will be triggered by acting on what you want. This is more of a side thing than the main story, but it will factor in. Pay attention to the slim but annoying thread of doubt or dissatisfaction, even if you get exactly what you desire.
Virgo is never entirely satisfied – the awareness of what needs to be improved means that even when things are “perfect” there’s always something that could be better. Consider if that’s the case here – you might be able to make adjustments, but don’t allow what you’ve achieved to be undermined by what’s not quite right. Recognize the line between improvement and attempting to fix what can’t be repaired (sometimes it just hurts).
August 24th, 2019: Venus Conjunct Mars in Virgo

Venus/Mars is the perfect union of attraction and action. Carefully measured efforts, attention to detail and the motivation to improve can bring exactly (Virgo) what you’re working for. “Working” is the key word – Virgo never takes it easy. Too, this can be about showing (Mars) your love (Venus) by helping/serving/organizing.
But the square to Ceres suggests a conflict between the above and the expansive nurturing of something big or idealistic. The drive for freedom or wisdom will be challenged by the focus on specifics. Efforts to make it better or express love/affection may be fussy or overzealous when compared to more liberated examples of growth.
Consider if your efforts are attracting what you want and how this stacks up against a nurturing ideal.

Mars’ Transit of Virgo: Do It Right

Mars (action, anger, sexual energy, motivation) enters Virgo on August 18th at 1:18 AM EDT. The external expression of will is focused through details and improvement, but also the increased awareness of flaws. This can be a highly effective fix-it transit but you can also fixate on what’s wrong and refuse to move forward until it’s just right.
Small steps are the way to go. If you want to upgrade, do it in gradual stages rather than tackling the whole thing at once. Do the best you can but don’t get hung up on absolute perfection, because that’s a moving target. The key is knowing when to stop – when continued efforts to improve will end up destroying your subject.
This is also an excellent “clean up” transit – next to Scorpio, Virgo is the ultimate sign for purging and cleansing. Mars in Virgo urges you to cut out what’s not healthy (this includes relationships and habits) while working to improve what is healthy. As this is the sign of service, you can also focus your efforts on others, but the caution is not to let this devolve into slavery.
Consider what’s motivating your actions: the desire to upgrade, assist or distract yourself from the real issue with picky details and nosing around in other peoples’ business? Mars in Virgo does not always have pure intentions. Ration your energy and direct it towards the most effective target. If you’re avoiding something, redirect towards the problem and recognize that the quest for perfection can be another form of procrastination.
Having said this, during this transit you don’t want to cut corners. If you’re going to do it, do it right or don’t bother.
Here are the aspects Mars in Virgo will make:

Passion and motivation fuel a relationship agreement. Commitment is based on pride in the partnership; there may be an agreement to act as one in order to succeed, gain attention or celebrate. A commitment can be based on the courage to stand at the centre of things and boldly declare yourselves.
This energy is about actively creating a union, or stepping out publicly and with loyalty. You’re more powerful as a united front.
