Virgo Season is Upon Us as the Sun Enters Virgo and the First of Two New Moons in Virgo

 

We are up for some big changes in the upcoming week.  The Sun moves into the mutable earth sign of Virgo on August 22 and we have the first of two New Moons in Virgo on August 23.  The second one will occur on September 21 in the form of a Solar Eclipse.  And Venus will enter Leo on August 25.

When the Sun enters Virgo, we tend to be more grounded, practical and responsible.  It's much easier to focus on details and find solutions to problems.  Virgo is also associated with health, so it's a perfect time to start a healthier diet or fitness regime.  We can get organized and improve communication on the job.  We are literally aiming for perfection when the Sun is in Virgo, but the shadow side of the Sun in Virgo is being too critical or judgmental.

Venus in Cancer is squaring Chiron in 26 degrees of Aries on August 22 as well.  This can trigger past relationship wounds.  We might be feeling insecure or unappreciated in relationships.  Try to accept your vulnerability (I know, that's a tough one and I am the first one to admit that I don't do vulnerable well) and practice some self-compassion in order to heal those wounds.  This can be a stressful day.

On August 23, we have the first of two New Moons in Virgo.  This one is in 0 degrees of Virgo.  I know that we always hear about 29 degrees being a critical degree (which the second New Moon, a Solar Eclipse, will be in on September 21), but 0 is also a critical degree because it represents the purest energy of whatever sign it falls in.  A New Moon in Virgo has strong themes pertaining to daily routines, health and service to others.

This New Moon is extremely complicated and has the potential to be quite volatile.  It squares Uranus in 1 degree of Gemini, which can bring sudden disruptions, power outages, the potential for cyberattacks, seismic activity and shocking truths revealed around health issues.  And this New Moon is involved in a Yod with Saturn and Neptune in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius.  The Sun and Moon are inconjunct Saturn and Neptune in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius while squaring Uranus in Gemini.  Inconjuncts are all about adjustments being required, and this one has a theme of karmic adjustments.  A Yod is also called the Finger of God and can feel very fated.  Both Saturn in 0 degrees of Aries and Neptune in 1 degree of Aries are sextiling Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius while being inconjunct the Sun and Moon in 0 degrees of Virgo.  Yods are powerful influences that can bring unexpected events that ultimately bring about restructuring.  This is especially true with Saturn being a part of that Yod.  We will need to remember to let go of old illusions (this is where Neptune comes in) to initiate a major refresh.  And we will get a chance to reexamine whatever seeds we plant or decisions we make on September 21 when we have that second New Moon in 29 degrees of Virgo, a Solar Eclipse to boot.

If you are old enough to remember 2006, we also had a New Moon in 0 degrees of Virgo on August 23.  The North Node was also in Pisces back then.  I remember that day all too well because my brother died on that day, only eight days after my mother died.  I am hoping for less loss this year but am trying to prepare myself for the likelihood of a disruptive time.

Venus leaves Cancer on August 25 and moves into Leo until September 19.  This can serve as a breather after the intensity of the New Moon in Virgo.  It is a real feel-good transit that has us feeling more creative, warm-hearted, dramatic, and glamorous.  It's time to let our inner child out to play.  We want to shine and enjoy the finer things in life.  It can be a delightful time, but just be mindful that the shadow side of Venus in Leo is a tendency to be self-centered, spend too much money or throw temper tantrums.

The coronavirus outbreak caused me to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people were concerned about the spread of the infection. I have decided to suspend my in-person Reiki sessions until further notice, so all of my Reiki sessions will be distant Reiki sessions for the foreseeable future. But a distant Reiki session is the perfect opportunity to safely build up your immune system and if you have contracted coronavirus, you can be treated safely from the comfort of your home. My procedure is to have a conversation with a client about what they hope to achieve from a session, we set up a time for the session to take place when they will be in a state to receive healing energy and I follow up with a telephone conversation to discuss their experience and my perception of their blockages. I do miss seeing my clients, so I am now offering Zoom consultations/intakes before the session so that we can see each other. I have also incorporated a new technique with my distance Reiki treatments since I don’t always have a photo of my client.  I use a teddy bear so that I can scan and focus the healing energy where it is needed. If this appeals to you, please feel free to contact me by email at lindasim54@gmail.com or call me at 617-304-2205. The cost for distance Reiki sessions is based on a sliding scale of $30 -$50. For your convenience, I accept Venmo and Zelle for payment. Zelle payments can be sent using my telephone number 617-304-2205. I have also written an article about distance Reiki, which is available at:

A Week of Second Chances and Opportunities for Healing

 

We are experiencing a relatively quiet week astrologically for a change.  But not for long because next week the Sun will move into Virgo, we will have a New Moon in Virgo and Venus will enter Leo. Then we start entering eclipse season, which kicks off in September.

On August 18, we will have the second sextile of Mercury in Leo to Mars in Libra.  The first one occurred on August 14 when both planets were in 4 degrees of their respective signs.  This was also right after Mercury stationed direct in 4 degrees of Leo on August 11.  I am sure that many people were rejoicing on this day after a particularly grueling Mercury retrograde.  The second sextile on the 18th will fall in 7 degrees of Leo and Libra.

What is the theme of Mercury sextiling Mars? First off, let's remember that sextiles represents opportunities that must be acted upon to reap the benefits. When Mercury is sextiling Mars, our minds are speeded up and we feel driven to succeed.  We really want to accomplish a great deal. We are infused with courage and ambition.  So don't be afraid to be direct and honest.  It's much easier to be bold and take chances now.  Mercury in Leo is not exactly shy and loves the limelight.  When I said we have second chances, it is literally true because if you didn't take advantage of this aspect on August 14, you get another shot at it on August 18.  Do not hide your light under a bushel.  Get out there, speak your truth and socialize or network.  It will pay off.

The opportunity for healing happens on August 19 when the Sun in Leo is exactly trining Chiron in 27 degrees of Aries.  This is an optimal time for personal growth, meditation, journaling and therapy.  It can also inspire us to help others, so feel free to share your perspective and let yourself be vulnerable.  Lean into those old wounds so that you can heal them. You might find yourself being more effective at healing others, but that is okay.  The Sun is conjunct my Pluto in Leo in the 11th house, so I wouldn't be surprised if I see an increase in my astrology and Reiki business at this time.

The North Node is in Pisces now and this hasn't happened since mid-January 2007.  This can be a very soulful time as we are called upon to trust our intuition, embrace the unknown and embark on a path of spiritual discovery.  Try to be more compassionate towards others now and let go of our critical thoughts because the South Node is in Virgo.  We all know that the shadow side of Virgo involves being critical and seeking perfectionism.  But we can integrate the need for service that Virgo is associated with to achieve the compassion and spiritual side of Pisces.  Jupiter in Cancer is also trining the North Node in Pisces, providing us with another spiritual blessing of luck and expansion.  The last time Jupiter was in the middle degrees of Cancer was in September 2013.

August Heats Up with a Full Moon in Aquarius, Mercury Goes Direct in Leo and a Venus-Jupiter Conjunction in Cancer

 

We have a super-charged Full Moon in 17 degrees of Aquarius coming up on August 9, 2025.  Mars recently entered sibling air sign Libra on August 6 and it's already been very busy.  Mars in Libra trines Uranus in Gemini on August 8 and also opposed Saturn in 1 degree of Aries on the same day.  Mars trining Uranus can lead to breakthroughs but its opposition to Saturn can slow us down and make us question the structures in our lives. Mars opposing Saturn while trining Uranus can make us feel like we are raring to move forward, but we keep getting pulled back.  It's a classic one step forward, two steps backward motion which can be very frustrating.

The major theme of a Full Moon in Aquarius is how to balance our individuality with the need to contribute to the collective.  That's a pretty big order to fill these days.  On the Full Moon we also have Mars in Libra opposing Neptune in 1 degree of Aries.  Our dreams and faith are being tested with the potential for confusion and exhaustion.  Patience is needed as we deal with the back-and-forth motion of Uranus, Saturn and Neptune interacting with Mars.  There are real obstacles and roadblocks, so it's going to take some time to get the results we want.  Don't be in denial about it.

This Full Moon in Aquarius is falling in the end of my 4th house and is in a three-degree separating orb from my Mars in Aquarius.  So there is absolutely no way that I am escaping the tension of this one....

Mars in Libra will be trining Pluto in 2 degrees of Aquarius on August 10, which will give us a boost of energy and sense of empowerment. It also means that we have received a Grand Trine in Air since Mars entered Libra on August 6: it trined Uranus in Gemini on the 8th and now on the 10th it trines Pluto in Aquarius.  I have a natal Grand Air Trine involving my Libra Ascendant, Moon in Gemini and Mars in Aquarius, so I can attest that this is very positive.  It's good stuff, so take advantage of whatever opportunities present themselves to you.  One thing I can tell you is that you really need to do something when opportunity knocks.  It's quite literally a case of when you snooze, you lose otherwise.

On August 11, Mercury finally stations direct in 4 degrees of Leo.  I don't know about you, but this has been one brutal Mercury retrograde.  I think that the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio bore the brunt of it.  Mercury has been retrograde since July 18, but it entered the shadow period on June 30.  It will clear its retrograde shadow on August 25 when Mercury is in 15 degrees of Leo.  But we can rejoice in the fact that things will get back on track with communication, transportation and with electronics.  The chaos and drama are starting to recede.

We have one really beautiful and lucky aspect to look forward to on August 12.  Venus and Jupiter (aka the Benefics) are conjunct in 14 degrees of Cancer on that day.  Good fortune, love and abundance could be coming your way on this day when these two planets meet up.  Don't forget that Jupiter is exalted in the sign of Cancer.  This is a day to plant the seeds for our desires to be fulfilled.  I am looking forward to it because this conjunction is five degrees away from my Cancer Midheaven and trining both my Sun and Jupiter in Scorpio. Enjoy the day and prepare to reap the bounty of these two planets converging...

Venus in Cancer Gets Very Busy with Saturn, Neptune and Pluto While Mars Enters Libra

 

The month of August is here and Venus, which just entered the cardinal water sign of Cancer on July 30, is already very busy. I mention that Cancer is a cardinal sign because they love to initiate action and we could very well see some action during this first week in August. 

On August 1, Venus in Cancer is squaring Saturn in 1 degree of Aries.  Venus squaring Saturn can be a very stressful time for relationships as fears and criticism can surface.  Don't be surprised if you feel unappreciated and experience difficulty expressing affection on this day.  However, it can lead us to establish better boundaries in relationships as limitations and responsibilities are emphasized.  Venus squaring Saturn can also play out as financial constraints.  This aspect is exact at 9:34 a.m.

Since Saturn and Neptune are traveling together in Aries these days, Venus in Cancer will also be squaring Neptune in 1 degree of Aries at 4:49 p.m.  When Venus squares Neptune there is a theme of insecurity about our appearance or love life.  We might be prone to overidealize a romantic partner.  This is also not the most self-disciplined time and we could find it easier to engage in some substance abuse.  Finances might take a hit if we act impulsively too.  At least this is happening on the weekend...

On August 2, Venus in Cancer will be inconjunct Pluto in 2 degrees of Aquarius.  When Venus and Pluto get together, there tends to be a strong theme of obsession and an intense desire for love.  And with an inconjunct, the planets are in signs that have nothing in common, so there is always some amount of adjustment or course correction necessary to survive. This aspect will highlight power imbalances, unhealthy relationship patterns and unmet needs.  Try not to start a new relationship under the auspices of this aspect but focus on repairing an existing one or changing your attitude towards power.

Mars enters Libra on August 6 and remains in the cardinal air sign until September 22.  Mars in Libra motivates us to achieve more harmony in relationships.  We tend to act more cooperative and diplomatic with Mars in Libra. Fairness is very important to us now and we won't hesitate to fight for it.  This isn't the strongest placement for Mars because it rules the opposite sign of Aries.  Some astrologers would say Mars is in its detriment in Libra because there might be difficulty expressing anger or frustration.  The shadow side of Mars in Libra is a tendency to procrastinate or be indecisive.  Avoidance of confrontation and passive-aggressive behavior are also common when Mars is in Libra.  Mars has been transiting my 12th house since mid-July and won't enter my 1st house until early September, so I am quite familiar with these traits.  Mars transiting the 12th house is not exactly going to make you a fireball of energy, but it is sweet when it hits your Ascendant and I am looking forward to that surge of energy.  

Mars in Libra will be very active around the Full Moon in Aquarius on August 9, but more on that in next week's post.  Enjoy and make the most of this first week in August.
