Month: August 2007

The Sun has just entered the sign of Virgo, a hard working and practical sign. Also, we find Mercury in Virgo as well. Therefore, a sharp discriminating mind for whatever unexpected situations may arise. Mercury is going to oppose Uranus during the week and this usually indicates a kind of confrontation with unanticipated circumstances.

Saturn is about to leave the Sign of Leo after 2 ½ years and it too will enter the sign of Virgo. Saturn is in honor of triplicity in the the Sign of Virgo so we will start to see a much more workable landscape for problems that have been looming for sometime. Greater cooperation will be achieved and solutions to many problems will be formulated. Action will be taken, although, there is still not enough clarity to push strongly ahead. It will take time to see the best path.

Emotions are kept in the background. Practical and intellectual influences are now beginning to dominate. Power drives diminish in the course of action. When to act and when not to act is the question. Many things are gained by action and many things may be gained by inaction. Instincts play a large part in the choices we make until we understand better the laws of nature.

The power drive of the human being dominates the landscape of the current planetary configuration. Objectivity got a lot of people into a lot of trouble. Now many people are looking to others to bail them out…not likely to happen. Survival of the fittest is no joke. With a stellium in Leo (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn) powerful influences vie for dominion. Actions speak louder than words.

Mars in the sign of Gemini point to the fact that actions are working at cross purposes. There is an uncertainty to our sense of stability and this will even out in time. For now we must go with the flow. Whatever judgments have been made, they have to be endured. The Moon in Scorpio makes this week a trip down the road of the unknown. Strong gut reactions can take their toll on people who have been caught unprepared.

Intensity keeps your emotions on alert. Take time to relax and give yourself some needed TLC. Remember that only you can give to yourself and only you can take away from yourself. The week ahead appears to have some unexpected events, be delighted in the changes promised.

The general public seems like they are ready for a fight. It must be the passing Mars square Saturn. Last week was exhausting and now there is little available energy at the beginning of the week. The conscious and unconscious are struggling to find harmony. There is some undiscovered secret within us that is trying to emerge.

Jupiter is going direct for the first time since April and this will change the momentum of the past several months. Finally, the benefits of personal restraint are paying off. It was the holding back and not being carried away by illusions of grandeur that has led to this rather unremarkable success. Sometimes it’s not what you do but what you don’t do. Resources that have been previously unavailable now become easy to obtain.

The semi sextile between Mercury and Venus allow a brief moment in time that some ingenious action may occur. This creates a defining moment that heart and mind work flawlessly together. Still the atmosphere lacks freedom of movement. All the elements are not represented equally thus there is an inability to adjust to changing circumstances comfortably. This will improve in the coming months.
