The Moon is in Libra today, moving on from the New Moon in Virgo on Thursday. Our energy arc from New Moon to Full Moon this month is from Virgo to culmination in Pisces. This is a deep and powerful story and has caused me to want to voice my re-examination of Virgo. Traditionally, Virgo has been assigned rulership by Mercury, an air planet whose influence has been a terrible misdirect, in my opinion. Due to the desperate desire to disempower women for centuries on end, we have been misled in our understanding of Virgo....the sign of the Divine Feminine. This has become a bit of a soapbox for me. I remember in older astrology books how there would be a large chapter explaining each sign, but when you got to Virgo, you would find a few little paragraphs talking about secretaries and accountants, details and nitpicking, organization skills and overly-critical attitudes. I have a big surprise for you today. The Virgo-Pisces seesaw represents the relationship between Mother Mary and Jesus. Virgo is Goddess, Gaia, Mother Earth in all her diversity, beauty, and endless creation. She is the Divine Vehicle through which invisible, intangible, ethereal energy takes on physical form on this planet. I also take issue with the traditional assignment that Virgo is a "barren" sign. What? How can the sign responsible for birth at the highest level be barren? Today, I'd like for you to begin reframing your view of Virgo and begin to investigate your own process of creation. What started on Thursday will peak in strength on the 19th, when something divine and invisible can take concrete form in your life. We have the chance this month to transform our understanding of the process by which we are co-creating our realities with our Souls. And with Saturn in Scorpio, right now it's a-transformation-a-day, folks. May as well get on the train and invite change willingly. And honor your Mother as you go. You might do well to ask for her Divine Guidance in all that you are creating. Today and tomorrow, with the Moon in Libra, the focus will be on your relationships. What are you creating there? What does your Soul say you should be learning from them?

The Moon is in Leo today just in time for the holiday. Leo is the sign that actually rules holidays, vacations, games and fun. She rushes up to Saturn, standing watch as always over the crashing waterfall. "We're having a party!!!" She waits. No response. "Come on! You've been standing guard there for what seems like forever! When WAS the last time you took a day off?" Saturn turns his head slowly and glares at her and grumbles, "How is taking a day off going to change anything?" "Aaaahhh," she grins, "I thought you'd never ask. I complement you on your focus, your commitment, your dedication, your relentless effort. But I know how you get. I'd like to see you step back from the edge of this cliff for a little while so you don't tilt over into rigidity and harshness, overdriving the system with no rest, and the damaging extremism that comes from refusing to balance the other important areas of life. You know I'm right......so chill out and come with me for a while. I promise you'll feel better after a break - more focused, more energetic, more concentrated. And for God's sake, take off that big black cloak.....a little sunlight wouldn't hurt you about now either!" Today is a good day to do just that.....a whole lot of nothing. Enjoy yourself, rest, refresh......and for God's sake, take off that big black cloak......... |
