More changes are coming in the
astrological weather forecast as Mercury moves into Virgo on August 7th,
Mars moves into Leo on August 8th, and TA-DA—Jupiter moves into Virgo on August11th, where it
resides until September 9, 2016. How are
we going to straddle the enthusiastic, over-the-top fiery energy of Leo (don’t
forget, the Sun and Venus are still in Leo) with the earthy practicality of
Virgo? Very carefully…
Venus, Jupiter and Mercury in
Leo had quite a party this past week. On
August 4th, Venus and Jupiter were conjunct in Leo, inspiring me to
tweet:
“Venus and Jupiter conjunct in
Leo today adds a jubilant vibe to the astrological mix after yesterday’s
Saturn/Jupiter square.”
Mercury was not one to leave
this Leo party without engaging in aspects to both Venus and Jupiter, the
Greater Benefics. Mercury hooked up with
Venus on August 6th, prompting me to tweet:
“Mercury conjunct Venus in Leo
today adds a romantic creative vibe to the day.
Speak from your heart & embrace your inner child.”
Mercury conjuncts Jupiter in
Leo in the wee hours of August 7th before it departs the sign of Leo
to enter Virgo, so don’t be surprised if your dreams are a little dramatic.
How will the communications
climate change when Mercury enters Virgo?
Well, Virgo is very practical and detail -oriented. It is time for organizing all those little
details that we may have ignored when Mercury was in Leo and we were too busy
playing. Mercury in Virgo is mutable earth
and we will probably be more focused on communicating more clearly and
precisely, but with a margin for staying open to positive changes. It is rather fitting that Mercury in Virgo
coincides with the back to school season.
On the following day, Mars
moves from sensitive, watery Cancer (where it is not entirely comfortable) into
the fire sign of Leo. Mars in Leo is
outgoing, gregarious and at times, competitive.
It is definitely a time to be spontaneous and affectionate, while
engaging that inner child. The focus is
literally on the heart, because Leo rules the heart. Do what moves you both emotionally and
physically to benefit your heart. And
this is a great time to start a new exercise program.
On August 11th,
Jupiter moves into Virgo after its year-long transit in Leo. Jupiter is associated with attracting lucky
breaks, so in the sign of Virgo, we need to be diligent and willing to work
hard to get that richly deserved luck. The
seeds that we have planted earlier will bear fruit during Jupiter’s transit of
Virgo. It is also a prime opportunity to
bring order out of chaos. Health will also feature prominently during Jupiter
in Virgo. The mind-body connection will
undoubtedly become more important and I hope that alternative methods of
healing will as well. Anyone need some
Reiki? I practice Reiki at the
Acupuncture for Everyone clinic in Boston on Thursday mornings and am also
available for appointments at my home in Newton.
Jupiter in Virgo will also be
aligning favorably with Pluto in Capricorn (love those trines), so we may find
it easier to experience transformation in our lives. This is another benefit of having Jupiter in
Virgo.
I am just coming off of a
transit of Jupiter in Leo to my natal Pluto in the 11th house, so
this has affected my urge to achieve and increased some areas of my business. Jupiter will remain in my 11th
house through October 2015, so I am not ruling out the need for networking and an
increased emphasis on idealism.
I had a session with a client
this week who has a stellium of planets in Virgo- Moon, Mercury, Venus and
Mars, and it was a pleasure to be able to tell him that things would be easing
up for him in the next few month due to Jupiter’s beneficial influence.
Jupiter and Mercury may be in
Virgo, but the Leo party is by no means over.
Enjoy the summer energy of the Sun and Venus in Leo. Venus will be in Leo until October 8th
due to the retrograde. If you are curious as to how this extended Venus
retrograde in Leo period will affect you, please consider getting an
astrological reading with me. A little insight is always a powerful
tool. Just ask for the Venus Retrograde Special, which will be $25
through the month of September 2015. Contact me directly at lindasim54@gmail.com.
I am also offering a Summer
Solstice Special for only $25 at this link:
This special is literally being offered through the entire summer
season and features a two question tarot telephone reading with a look at your
astrological chart to see how the summer planetary action is affecting you. This is a great little reading if you just
have a couple of questions and are curious about your astrological chart, but
are a little hesitant to committing to a full astrological reading.
