  • Virgo Sun trine Vesta in Taurus (27 deg)

Vesta is focus and Virgo is details, so here we have the ultimate combo of precision and fixed focus. The Sun will illuminate an area that’s precious – a resource or survival issue. Specific details will be integrated into the sacred altar: perhaps you can make small but effective improvements to what you’re building.

The details are elevated and attain a level of purity when you see how they contribute to your survival. Use the facts or (yes) critiques as fuel for the flame. Sun in harmony with Vesta finds purpose in pure focus.

  • Mercury in Virgo conjunct Juno (3 deg)

The details of an agreement are spoken or written. Any type of partnership can be clarified as flaws or solutions are described. This is about the fine print – don’t ignore what’s written at the bottom of the page or what your partner is adding. It’s also an opportunity for you to get precise about what you’re agreeing to, because the little things matter.

This aspect suggests a partnership that’s based on communication, analysis and the drive for improvement. It’s not enough to simply be, there’s a desire to make each other better or figure things out together. Remembering that Virgo is about integration, consider if someone close to you has the missing piece of the puzzle.

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

by  •

  • Virgo Sun inconjunct Chiron Rx in Aries (4 deg)

  • Virgo Sun square Ceres in Sagittarius (4 deg)

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

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.

August 27th, 2019: Chiron Trine Ceres

  • Chiron Rx in Aries trine Ceres in Sagittarius (4 deg)

The painful issue can be addressed with expansive nurturing. Chiron in Aries is about the courage to be uncomfortable/stand out/fight while you’re hurting. It’s the new, painful battle. Ceres in Sag can help you integrate those issues via learning, exploration or the growth of faith. This aspect says it’s ok to bleed a bit – the wound won’t stop you from reaching further.

Actually, the further you reach the more care and support you’ll find. The Fire energy encourages motivation, passion and hope for the future.

This is the second of two trines (the first occurred on June 6th when Chiron was direct and Ceres Rx). So you’re revisiting what hurts, maybe taking another shot at something that requires more faith.

In mundane matters this can point to a course of education about healing/food issues or successfully addressing difficult legal matters involving mother/child.

August 26th, 2019: Targeted Improvements

by  •

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

  • Pallas enters Scorpio

Venus/Uranus integrates change (Uranus) with financial/relationship/self-esteem issues in a gradual way. The update can occur in a step-by-step manner: a little adjustment here and there is all that’s needed to improve (Virgo) those Venus issues and approach what you want/love in new (Uranus) way.

Taurus is ruled by Venus, so there’s extra resonance in this aspect. Uranus in Taurus might be triggering some radical changes to habits or resources, but since it’s Rx at the moment the pace has probably slowed. Hooking up with Venus in Virgo, it’s the perfect time to zero in on the details – really get in there and change the way you relate to others, yourself or your money. Pinpoint the exact thing that’s not quite right.

Pallas into Scorpio is intensive strategies. This transit is about digging into the uncomfortable stuff/secrets and gaining profound insight about what most people don’t want to touch. Excellent for research or planning that involves psychological issues. This is the covert “battle strategy” that involves manipulation or accessing deeper resources in order to win.

Since Pallas involves pattern recognition, this can also be about seeing the deeper connections that have previously been obscured. Effective solutions involve going beyond the point where most people are comfortable, but that’s where the raw truth lies.

Consider how this Scorpio ingress can assist you with Venus/Uranus improvements.

Pallas will exit Scorpio for Sagittarius on Nov 8th.

August 24th, 2019: Venus Conjunct Mars in Virgo

  • Venus in Virgo conjunct Mars (4 deg)

  • Venus in Virgo square Ceres in Sagittarius (4 deg)

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.

August 23rd, 2019: Virgo Season Begins With a Crisis

  • Third Quarter Square between the Gemini Moon and Virgo Sun (0 deg)

  • Juno enters Virgo

Virgo season begins on a challenging note with the 3rd Quarter Square – the Crisis of Consciousness. There may be conflicting urges to focus on the details versus the input of fast, new choices and info. Should you take your time or react quickly to what’s coming in? The questions that come up will be important.

This aspect is about questioning what you thought you knew, so the sudden influx of new choices is designed to open your eyes and drag you away from tunnel vision. While the overwhelming vibe may involve looking at one thing, don’t ignore the chatter or distractions. There’s more to consider.

Having said this, Virgo thrives on tension. There’s dissatisfaction when things are going smoothly, so this crisis could be exactly what’s needed. There’s something to fix, and there’s no better time to address it than now.

Juno into Virgo takes partnership agreements and breaks them down. The specifics about what you and another have committed to will be on the line. Do A and B work for both? Are the little things lining up? This is also about the desire to make a partnership better – if anything’s not working between you, this transit will emphasize it. There will also be solutions, but they will only work if both people want it.

August 22nd, 2019: Relationship Pride and What’s Behind It

  • Leo Sun conjunct Juno (29 deg)

  • Mercury in Leo inconjunct Neptune Rx in Pisces (17 deg)

Sun/Juno illuminates the pride and power of a successful partnership, but Mercury/Neptune raises a few questions. Honesty may not be a priority – perhaps one person is evading the truth in order to preserve the shine. Too, there can be a caution to acknowledge what’s not obvious – this is not all about what’s in the spotlight.

Dreams are good, but not at the expense of purpose. This is a tricky balancing act where one or both partners must acknowledge what defies immediate definition without allowing that information to undermine their mutual purpose. Compassion or spiritually may need to be interwoven with overt examples of relationship success.

Note that this can apply to any type of partnership: romantic, business, creative, etc.

  • Venus in Leo sextile Pallas in Libra (27 deg)

  • Venus in Leo conjunct Juno (28 deg)

Excellent partnership aspects today, as Venus harmonizes with Pallas in Venus-ruled Libra. Relationship strategies/plans are balanced and creative, and Venus/Juno indicates a bright, bold union of love and commitment. There can be a public agreement between two people that features mutual joy, pride and power. There’s also a bit of drama – the relationship with a flourish.

These aspects are about you and another in perfect harmony. Being together increases self-expression and cooperation, as well as success. There’s a strong social facet as well – the two of you at the centre of the party or on stage.

Whether or not you’re part of a couple, consider how joining forces with another (romantically or platonically) can boost your chances of success.
