  • Sun in Leo sextile Jupiter in Libra: 18 degrees
  • Mars in Leo inconjunct Neptune in Pisces: 13 degrees
  • Mercury in Virgo sextile Venus in Cancer: 11 degrees
  • Vesta in Virgo trine Pallas in Taurus: 11 degrees

A mostly harmonious day, with a moment that might trip you up. 

Sun/Jupiter is bold and optimistic – things will work out because you feel confident, and confidence will be buoyed by the sense that things will work out. Win-win. Good for attracting favourable attention. However, Mars/Neptune is a caution. For the most part, you’ll be on target, but you can stumble (via misguided actions) if you’re not paying attention. What you’ve been ignoring can weaken your efforts. 

Mercury/Venus suggests sweet words that are practical and empathetic. For example, the solution that’s presented with sensitivity, or gentle advice. Excellent if you have to point out an error or deliver a critique – you can phrase it so it almost sounds like a compliment.

Meanwhile, Vesta/Pallas is about devotion to a basic solution that can be used easily and immediately. It’s not a quick fix (results will take time) but it should be easy to access and implement. Vesta picks out a specific detail or problem, and Pallas supplies the stable strategy to address it. Healing and improvements will be visible.

Aspects to Virgo help you address the problem, while aspects to Leo reassure you that it can be fixed. Just keep your eyes on Mars/Neptune – don’t ignore the questionable action.

August 2nd, 2017: Mercury Conjunct Vesta In Virgo

  • Mercury conjunct Vesta in Virgo: 7 degrees

Vesta’s ultra-focus combines with Mercury’s communication/information. One topic of conversation/piece of information will be the sacred flame. Maybe you obsess over the little thing they said. Maybe you drill into a research paper/article/book as you dedicate yourself to finding a solution. Perhaps you become obsessed with proving your point.

This energy can be used for good or ill, depending on the focus. The big picture will be impossible to see. The critique may be the only thing you hear. Sometimes this is necessary. Sometimes it’s limiting. Consider what fact you’re devoting yourself to.

Mercury Into Virgo and Mercury Retrograde

by  •

Mercury’s Virgo ingress on July 25th kicks off an extended process of corrections. Mercury rules this sign, so detail-oriented communication, critiques and problem solving will be major themes. 

This is the “get it right” transit. You may focus obsessively on a flaw/problem. Or, you could be the target of endless little criticisms. You won’t be allowed to let things slide. If you need to get your sh*t together and attend to the routine stuff you’ve been putting off, this is your transit. This is also your transit if you’ve been struggling to find a solution. Great for organizing and nailing down the specifics. Virgo is about the real facts – they must be proven, doable and ready to implement. 

This influence favours analysis and diagnosis. Issues will picked apart until seemingly inconsequential bits are all that’s left. And this is where it gets real – do not make the mistake of ignoring something that’s too small. Nothing is too small in Virgo. The little thing hold the solutions. 

Mercury stations Rx in Virgo, on August 12th. It will station direct in Leo on September 5th. Mercury Rx in Virgo will double the amount of corrections. Migraine-inducing details will urge you to look closer. You may need a magnifying glass. Virgo’s perfectionism will be in full force – something will need improvement. If you don’t see it, someone else will. The backtrack into Leo suggests returning to the original creation – the pure passion or joy. Before you can continue with the fix, you’ll have to go back to the source and ask some questions. Is it special enough? Will fixing it be a waste of your time? 

As noted in this post, the process may have already started with the July 24th Mercury/Uranus trine. 

Here are the aspects Mercury in Virgo will make:

  • Jul 30th: trine Juno Rx in Capricorn ( 4 deg)
  • Aug 2nd: conjunct Vesta (7 deg)
  • Aug 8th: trine Pallas in Taurus (8 deg)
  • Aug 10th: sextile Venus in Cancer (11 deg)
  • Aug 11th : conjunct Vesta (11 deg)
  • Aug 12th: stations Rx (11 deg)
  • Aug 13th: trine Pallas in Taurus (11 deg)
  • Aug 26th: conjunct the Sun (3 deg)
  • Aug 27th: trine Juno in Capricorn (2 deg)
  • Aug 31st: Leo ingress
  • Sept 3rd: conjunct Mars in Leo (28 deg)
  • Sept 5th: stations direct in Leo (28 deg)
  • Sept 9th: Virgo ingress
  • Sept 13th: trine Juno in Capricorn (3 deg)
  • Sept 16th: conjunct Mars in Virgo (7 deg)
  • Sept 19th: opposite Neptune Rx in Pisces( 12 deg)
  • Sept 20th: trine Pallas Rx in Taurus (13 deg)
  • Sept 22nd: trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn (16 deg)
  • Sept 25th: square Saturn in Sagittarius (21 deg)
  • Sept 27th: opposite Chiron Rx in Pisces( 26 deg)
  • Sept 27th: square Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius (25 deg)
  • Sept 28th: quincunx Uranus Rx in Aries (27 deg)
  • Sept 29th: Libra ingress

Vesta Enters Virgo: Ultra Pure

by  • 

Fernand Khnopff

Fernand Khnopff

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.
