SUN IN VIRGO AUGUST 23, 2023

On August 23, 2023, the Sun moves from Leo, a fixed, fire sign, to Virgo, a mutable, earth sign.

Virgo is known for its attention to detail and its wish to find perfection in all it does and in all that surrounds it. Those with strong Virgo tendencies such as their Sun in Virgo, Moon in Virgo or Ascendant sign in Virgo tend to be curious, conservative, and often quite critical especially of themselves. They see all the little flaws in life, and many tend to worry and be too concerned about trivial matters. This is not to say that their concern is not warranted at times, but they can make mountains out of mole hills.

Virgoans can tackle tedious tasks and make excellent organizers. They need things to be in their proper place and when life is not structured to their liking, they will work tirelessly to improve conditions. Virgoans are very service oriented and truly wish to help in any manner they deem appropriate. They can be meticulous in their work ethics and truly want to do the best job possible, which makes them great assistants, but also great leaders. They can take and give orders.

Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury and Virgoans are considered deep thinkers, analyzing everything in great detail. Cleanliness and hygiene are important factors in their lives and if these have fallen to the wayside, you know something is wrong. Ideally, there isn’t a hair out of place, their clothes are clean, matching and perfect and their home is well organized and very clean.

We will look at the transits influencing Virgoans in our post on August 23, 2023.

IGNORANCE RELEASED

In our somewhat fragmented life, we skirt from sleeping to awakening to adhering to acknowledging to ignoring, to growing and so forth. We experience these and more in varying degrees throughout our lives. We jump pathways from time to time and can remain ignorant of what occurs around us while we are engulfed in our personal life’s circumstances. We lose sight that we are stumbling and remain captive by what is reflected in our focal point.

We live our lives imprisoned by our focus. In many cases we are not even aware that our focus keeps us stagnate or pushes us deeper into the issues that hold us captive and they become all encompassing.

Until we recognize that we are caught up in a web spun by our long term focus we are not free to live in the moment.

By stopping and recognizing this very moment, we can alter the course of our daily life. We cannot escape what must be done day to day or run from our responsibilities, but we can allow ourselves to climb out of “the rut”. We do not have to be imprisoned by our negative outlook. We can shift with a mere attitude change. Refocusing sets things in motion and removes us from unwanted feelings, but this can take time and repeated reminders to refocus.

Take time to reevaluate life and its circumstances. Know that all things are temporary. The more we focus on negativity, the more negativity we see. We can move in different mental states and/or attitudes simply by recognizing our lessons, building on them, releasing them and refocusing. We are not our life circumstances. We cannot get caught up in events. They are simply lessons to learn from and then move on. We can rearrange our thoughts and belief systems so that expectations are not interfering with our emotional health. Believe that you can learn and move beyond or adjust to any adversity. Have faith in the process and work on making that needed change beginning from within.

We know the concept but without following what we know, how can we expect change?

Knowing and adhering are two different things. Changes come when focus changes. Don’t ignore your abilities. You are the craftsman of your world. Ensure quality workmanship with your focus. You are a masterpiece! Know and believe then focus.

NEW MOON AUGUST 16, 2023

Today, August 16, 2023, we will be experiencing a New Moon in the sign of Leo at 23°.

With the New Moon in Leo it is all about assertion, moving ahead with new set plans and building achievements that have the potential for growth and attainment. In Leo, a part of you knows what is best for the situation and if letting go is part of the process, do not hang on to anything that no longer serves you or that no longer stimulates growth. Building positive ego is good at this time and will bring forth more confidence.

This is a time for revitalization, manifestation and pushing ahead with plans that can initiate change that will build into something as time passes. Don’t get stuck on past ventures unless they are helping you achieve something viable. As one cycle begins another often ends. Pushing forward in ways that also help others get out of ruts is recommended although make sure they want your help. You may know what is best and your intentions may be good but others may not want your assistance and prefer to take on the challenge themselves.

This energy can have something to do with personal endeavors, the desire for more fun in your life (letting the child come out to play), beginning a new romantic relationship, and/or helping others as mentioned.

Check which house (area of life) is being activated in your natal chart and if you have planets in conjunction, opposition and to a lessor degree square, trine and sextile to this placement. The aspects should be within 3° of one another.

The Sun and Moon are in conjunction when we experience a New Moon and, in this case, we also have T Uranus square to this position. Uranus pushes us towards change (also indicated with a New Moon). However Uranus acts on impulse and is erratic. It can force change on us to wake us up and move us in the direction we need to take. This can affect us emotionally and push us into action because of the intensity or challenge being presented.

Often, we get little hints that something needs changing and if we do not act, this is when Uranus’ energies take hold, forcing change and opening our eyes. Even though erratic and unexpected, the energies of Uranus push us to the place where we are now meant to be. Change can be challenging but holding on to something that no longer suits us can cause disruption that is not necessary and is not productive.
