Mercury, moving quickly now, makes its superior conjunction to the Sun in Virgo on Monday: all vestiges of the last Mercury Retrograde period should have cleared away by now and we can get back to business as usual. In Virgo, this aspect will give much ingenious detail to the mind/intellect: a great time to get deeply into any work/project that requires meticulous steps, great mental effort, precise planning. With this aspect, our egos are strongly conveyed through our speech today, and our minds are extremely subjective to the point of crowding out other points of view. We can easily fall into the trap of being overly critical/judgmental/nit-picky with others. This is a favorable day for new business ventures, taking the initiative, and short trips.
Mercury semi-square Venus is the biggest aspect of Tuesday: this is usually a relatively mild transit. We may have to watch that our words don’t hurt sensitive others, but for the most part social interactions based on intellectual/mental energy are favorable today. Sometimes it can be difficult to come to agreements with others under this transit but it’s usually not serious. The other issue is giving in too easily to others, but for the most part social interactions can be fun/mildly stimulating today.
Venus gets pretty active on Wednesday forming a yod with the Pluto/Chiron sextile and trining Uranus. This can be a complex day for relationships, especially ones that are long term and weak/stressed right now. The yod, is a “hand of fate” type aspect, and will be reflected in the relationships that feel most “fated” in our lives. Pluto/Venus in quincunx aspect many times indicates that a long-term relationship has faded to a point of death/no return/release. Here’s what I said about the ongoing Pluto/Chiron sextile in last week’s blog: “There is also a more subtle Pluto/Chiron sextile, a very Collective aspect that will feed this deep inner desire to learn about our own innermost workings which will help us understand others around us and perhaps transform how we relate to one and other to healthier versions.” Venus/Chiron desires to bring healing to wounded relationships also through what we’ve learned through them and letting them go. Add to that mix, the Venus/Uranus trine saying it’s time to break free of old relationships that drag us down into the same old thing and find some new exciting people and places to hang out with instead, and we have some very potent energy to make some type of break from the “same old thing” today. However, those we meet under Venus/Uranus have a tendency to be a bit “flash-in-the-pan” or short term in their effect on us ultimately. This is a good transit to indulge yourself somehow: do something fun and out of the ordinary today.
Thursday and Friday are pretty mellow days with the biggest aspect being Sun square Vesta on Thursday: this can bring some/challenge to a group you belong to. It can also be frustrating in trying to align your ideals/values with your career or life path or sexual desires.
Saturday is a New Moon at 23* Virgo: this is a good time to start some new health regimen, roll up your sleeves and get on any meticulous project you’ve been waiting on, and make logical choices. The danger is getting hypercritical of others or too stuck on “what’s the right way and what’s the wrong way” that you can alienate others: there is a fear that if things are not done correctly that great loss can occur. Look to the house in your chart this New Moon falls into to see the area of life it will affect most for you. This is a good time to turn the critical eye to your own self, and fine tune your life, and take care of what is necessary, well. Mercury’s square and Saturn’s trine to Ceres show resources may be the place many of us need to focus this energy.
Sunday features two ingresses: Mercury into Libra and Juno into Sagittarius, who sextile each other. We can use intellectual efforts to bring peace and justice to others now: anyone you are bound to in some type of partnership should benefit from this energy. Mercury in Libra is excellent at compromising and seeing both sides of a story. This also brings out our desire to enjoy the finer things in life, however we define them. It is good for any art that uses words in any forms. However, it can get us indecisive, or not bring up issues we may have out of politeness. Juno in Sagittarius also favors mental/idea type stimulation between people – it brings together those who are inspired by similar ideas/values/philosophies, but they may create enemies with those who don’t share their beliefs. This is the day of the Moon (in Libra) hard aspecting the Uranus/Pluto square, so be aware of wanting to rebel against others/enemies.
Next week, Pluto stations direct at the same time it has its second exact square to Uranus: be prepared for some shocking events in the world. It will also be the Autumn Equinox with the Sun ingressing into Libra.
