This post is for those individuals with the Moon in Virgo or in the sixth house (ruled by Virgo). The Moon defines your emotional response to the world around you. The sign it is in takes on some of the defining characteristics of the Sun in Virgo, although you have to take these characteristics and apply them to the emotional makeup of the individual. The positive qualities linked to any sign, therefore, would be suggestive of how an individual would emotionally react on a more constructive level, while the negative or challenging traits suggested would be emotional issues that this individual may have when under stress. In general, Moon in Virgo people are generally quite happy especially when busy and putting things that matter into proper perspective and alignment. Their lives are under control when emotionally aligned and they are not the types that require monetary security or many material objects to keep them happy. They can be quite happy with the little things life offers, and are most happy when they are busy managing their lives. Some of these busy individuals, similar to Gemini people, can be skeptical because of their ability to deeply analyse most any situation. They do pick up the tiniest of faults in situations and people, and they are particularly picky with how they view themselves. Everything has to be in order and practicality is very important to their emotional well-being. If life is out of order and things are not in proper perspective, they can become emotionally moody although usually their emotions are contained. Virgo Moon people like to be of help to those in need and a career in assisting others is right up their alley. They would also do well in fields related to nutrition as this is also very important to them. They can be quite helpful when it comes to finding solutions to many of life’s problems, because they can decipher the issue and using their practicality come up with a viable solution that would benefit most anyone. They are certainly great problem solvers, but at the same time will also dig up anything that needs correcting. Their intensions are good, but sometimes people really do not want their lives dissected and put out in the open in order to manage the issues or resolve the crisis. Moon in Virgo need to understand that sometimes people want life to sit as it is until they are ready to do something about it. When it comes to relationships, Virgo Moon can be quiet and unassuming, and they are very kind to those they love. Many would be considered shy when it comes to love and even reserved in their mannerisms. Sex is not an open topic and can be intimidating to some. However with their need for service and with an aim to please high on the agenda, once they give themselves to another it is usually for keeps. They are not the wondering type, although will pick up any flaws within the relationship and then try to fix the problem. They find security in the little things that life offers and are very happy when all the little corners of life are in order. With their great concern for running a life that is well balanced, they make great accountants and will enjoy making sure the bills are paid on time. A little appreciation goes a long way when it comes to their abilities. They need to feel needed and also love it when someone pays attention to the details they put into everything. As long as Virgo Moon people have a steady routine and a rewarding career perhaps in the service fields or where they are helping others, their emotional stability remains intact. Life has to offer them something that they can call their own. If they can find a place where organization and the analysing of everyday details is part of the routine, this ensures that they will always be happy and content with their lives.

You need to stop for a moment and evaluate who you are in the “big” equation. What is your part? How do you fit in with your family, with your friends, with your community and with your world? Take a few moments to think about this. Now on a piece of paper write down, for affirmation purposes if you will, what you believe these answers are. Do not downplay your role. Write what you think is realistic and your honest opinion of whom you are. Continue with your attributes and what you have to offer to help the overall condition of our world, even if only on a minute scale. On another piece of paper (remember to date these notes), write down how you would truly like to fit in with your family, what you want to mean to them and a vision of how you want these relationships to be at some point in the future. Do not think in terms of how you want them to fit into who you are, think only in terms of what you want to provide or offer to each union. Do the same with your relationships with your friends, your community and your place in the world. Think big --almost unattainable, but still possible. Next ask your guides to help you obtain this state of being, because it has to be a state of being. This potential you is not an illusionary concept. It has true potential because you are able to imagine it. Keep these intentions in mind on and off throughout your day. Reminder yourself of your goals each night before you go to sleep. Ask your guides to help you with these changes during your pre-dream state. Acceptance these changes mentally. Visualize these changes and have faith that the higher powers will assist you in their manifestation. Believe in the power of the ability of these changes to materialize. Over time you will see the results begin to take place. As you see these results, your belief in this potential will strengthen. Believe in yourself and know that you have come into this life to bud into the person you truly want to become. Keep up this process every night before you go to bed until it becomes a habit. It will undoubtedly take time for you to create this positive habit so be patient with yourself. If you fall off the wagon, get back on and do not let the mind influence your objectives. Keep going regardless of what transpires within your mind. Do not allow ego intervention. You could say to yourself “I began this manifestation in early September of 2014, and will continue for six months into early March of 2015”. On this final date, read your letter to yourself once again and see the changes that have taken place. Make a special note on your calendar so that you will remember. Put your intention note in a place where you frequently visit during your day, to keep the intention alive. You will be pleasantly surprised on what you are capable of materializing with your intention. Be strong in your resolve and believe that you have a special mission. You are not here by chance.

NATAL (Birth) CHART REPORT The Natal Chart report delineates the planetary placements in the houses. If defines in particular the Sun, the Moon and the Ascendant and any tight aspects between the planets. A Natal Chart is far more than your Sun Sign. This chart examines the characteristics with which we are born, both the challenges and the talents. Learn to develop your gifts and overcome the challenges.

This is your special moment. Enjoy it! Live it! Be it! You have come into this life to experience all there is, to share life’s special moments and to enjoy all life has to offer. It is your time to discover self and to uncover all the hidden gems that reside within you. Seek out all of your perfect components, all of the unique characteristics that combined create you, the individual. The best person you can be already exists. Simply realize this. Accept this and allow this person to submerge. For some of us, this realization takes a long time mainly due to the fact that we do not recognize the potential that lies within. Many of us do not believe that we have these qualities available to develop. We stop ourselves short because of these beliefs. You can tweak any part of who you are, but first you have to take an honest look at self. Take an honest look at what you want to let shine and what you want to release. Allow affirmations to take place and then pursue the objectives you lay out for yourself. You are your only limitation. Belief structures and expectations can push you forward or prevent your journey. Accept responsibility and watch as life changes. This unfolding is a continuous process and the development never ceases if you believe. It is in your hands. Bask in your own Sun. Believe in yourself!

Ponder this question for a moment – “Who am I?” Take some time to think about this. Are you your thoughts? Are you your beliefs? Once you have had time to think about the answer to these two questions, again ask yourself, “Who am I?” You are not your thoughts! Your thoughts are not who you are. Thoughts are your mind’s process of its perception of reality. The mind is not you. The mind is a part of this earthy vehicle that we call your body. Where is the dividing line between your essence...soul.....energy (whatever you want to call it) and the mind which is part of this earthy existence? Who am I? I am........that is it! The mind will not be happy with this answer as the mind is analytical. The mind wants clarification; it has to be rational and it needs something solid to grasp. Yet as simple as this statement is “I am”, if you truly break down who you are, there is no more. You are not your body! Your body is just a vehicle for your soul. Are you your soul? What is the soul? You are a spirit in human form. What is a spirit? Are you the amalgamation of all your experiences, or is this just a concept? It has been said that life molds you into who you are. So are we an accumulation of all that has happened to us? ..Are these not just events? We do not own events that we are a part of so how can they be a part of our being? Is the real you not much deeper than an experiences from this life? We are part of the pure essence. We are part of the whole. What is the whole? These are tough questions. Mull them around. What are YOUR beliefs? What feels right to you? Your mind does not define you. It is not whom you are. Your mind is a tool to process information. We participate in the moment, but what is the moment? Again, tough questions, aren’t they? Please share your thoughts. Perhaps these questions are difficult because our minds, (our computers) do not have a logical answer available. Our ego interferes and insists that we are what we think we are...an important doctor, a caring teacher, a loving parent. This is our vocation...our calling.....but these are not who we are. I....you...we.... just are.

There are some individuals that are fortunate enough to have come into this life fully aware and awake to life’s usually hidden gateways to the subconscious. The deeper realms of being, for these individuals, are met face to face upon their acknowledging to the mystical side of life. Some consider this awareness a gift while others are uncomfortable with this “supernatural” awareness due to social stigma. There are countless individuals on the journey to awakening, each moving at their own pace towards enlightenment. It takes time and most of us must shed several layers of ingrained thinking before we will be open to the ability to reach these higher realms of existence. The largest obstacle to overcome is the ever insistent drive that comes from the bloated ego, as this mental “me” portion of self must be quieted in order for awakening to take place--at least on a level that makes us think that in some way we are better and therefore superior to anyone else on one or more levels. It is said that those that truly permeate this realm are truly humble. Although they are aware of the uniqueness of their character, they do not consider themselves in any way superior to others. To attain enlightenment, is it not important to review our focus on material status over the focus of being one with our true essence? Is there a shortcut to awakening? I truly believe that awakening moves at its own speed. Only when we are truly ready to take that next step forward will that door open and the opportunity present itself. We are all on this journey. We are all headed in the intended direction, each of us precisely where we are meant to be. We are spiritual beings living in human form, here to learn the lessons that emerge from physical form. Open the doors to your being and allow the love that resides within. Can we not be the light for others? Should we not lead by example and utilize our light? Your true inner brilliance cannot be manifested, it just is. Awakening takes place when you are ready to move in your intended direction-- no sooner, no later. We are all unique and separate, yet joined as one. We are one--whole with the pure essence. We are light. We are love.

If your Vertex is between 10-15 degrees of Aries in your Chart, we would like to touch on transiting Uranus’ conjunction to the Vertex, but Uranus’ action will be swift and unexpected for any connection with the Vertex. The area of life involved will be defined by the Vertex’s house placement in your Birth chart. The Vertex will be involved in aspect to Uranus from about the spring of 2013 and continues to be influenced until the spring of 2015. The Vertex is considered by many Astrologers to be a gateway or turning point to our destiny. When activated through transit or progression, there are often important people that enter into our lives. They are considered to be linked with our past and are often reincarnated individuals that have come once again to be involved with our lives. The linkage feels somewhat electric when connected to Uranus and has a compulsive energy attached to it. It is as though you are meeting at a specific point in destiny and have come together to complete something that may not have been finished in a previous existence. Uranus’s action is often unexpected and is sudden in its nature and usually very disruptive. There is often a feeling that the meeting could not be avoided and during these times we should pay particular attention to what we has been wishing for as in some way this may come true. Uranus makes us act on impulse and often the individual concerned suddenly comes into our life and leaves just as quickly and unexpectedly as they first appeared. Uranus has been moving in and out of retrograde over this whole period indicated above, so shedding this unique individual may not be easy, if this is your desire. Keeping them may not come easy either. Often when the lesson or commitment from the past has lived out its purpose, the individual will leave your life and often permanently. This feeling of destiny awaiting brings to the forefront a feeling that completely encapsulated you and you instinctually understand that you have been brought together for a purpose or to complete something and this characteristically complicates matters. You may find it very difficult to let go of the other person until you come to the knowing that whatever you have been brought together to complete is now finished. The vertex is always found on the western side of the horoscope (houses 5-8) hence its involvement with partnerships and people. Have a look at your Vertex in your Chart to find when it will be influenced by upcoming trends and other links in your Astrology chart.

In your busy day whether you are working away from home, working at home or lucky enough to be retired, take time to enjoy the moment. Even when the workload is heavy and you wonder how you will be able to get things done; take time to enjoy the moment. There is always time in your day for you to stop, to recharge your battery and to reflect on just how lucky you are. Be grateful for your job no matter how busy. There are countless others that would love to have that job. Enjoy that moment. If the kids are frustrating you, take a moment and enjoy the fact that you can share the moment with them. They are truly a gift, and you are the lucky caregiver. One day they will move on. They are only young for such a short period. Even the teenage years, which have very tedious moments, are very short lived. Enjoy the moment. Take the time each day to stop and smell the roses and to pay attention to your surroundings. Be thankful--truly thankful. If you are out of work and searching for a job, any job, be thankful that you are able to look and know that you will eventually find one. But during this time of search, stop and take the time to think of all the blessings you have in your life. Take time to enjoy. If you have just lost someone dear to you, whether through illness or other circumstances, be thankful for the time you shared and understand that destiny prevails. Be thankful for the memories, but move forward with your life. Although they may be gone, their memories live on as does their spirit. You are never alone. Your loved ones are with you especially in your darkest hours. Know this and be thankful. Take at least a moment in your day to be truly thankful. It is certainly a gift and we can share this gift in so many ways. Be thankful for being able to share this life with others. Life is a blessing and it is there for the living. Be thankful!

My chart was quite accurate in terms of my personality and even the description of events over the past year. I have always maintained that I am here to learn patience. LoL You reiterated that. I am a firm believer in moving forward and looking for the lessons and the positive in all situations. It can be difficult though when things get shaken up. Descriptors (in my chart) of life changing on a moment’s notice, as well as having not one situation but 3 or 4 that are unexpected and not asked for, are very true. I find the whole idea of the influence of planets very interesting. It challenges the notion that we have choices in our path (other than how we deal with it). Your assessment of changes in relationships is correct, as well as lifestyle. You were also very right in that amongst all the negativity which indeed is very overwhelming (felt as though I had the crud beat out of me lol) , many good supports have popped up. Supports I may not have used previously given my independence. Much good has grown out of a really cruddy situation. I know there are still changes ahead in terms of relationships and work. The chart was great. Thank you for all your hard work. Thanks again for you efforts and words of encouragement. It's all much appreciated. C.T.

How many wars have been fought in the name of justice? How many innocent people have been killed in the name of religion? Throughout the years mankind has used drastic measures to try to deal with injustice and what is the end result? Have the issued been resolved? Is there less crime or atrocities? Has the punishment suited the crime? Why do so many innocent people need to be hurt or die when fighting breaks out between rival factions? How do you stop this violence? How to you make these individuals accountable without violence? When someone is jailed for a crime committed is the problem rectified due to their institutionalization? Does the perpetrator come out with a new found outlook that assists them with the intension that they will not harm another again? We call incarceration justice but does justice assist in correcting the issues or does it perpetuate the problems? What is the alternative? One thing is for certain, violence does not correct violence. If anything, it promotes more action of the same. So what do we do and how do we change the course of our world? What is the alternative for our political leaders? What other course of action can they take to combat violence? Can change begin with us? We can foster a better tomorrow by being an example to our children and our children’s children through love and compassion. We have to “be” the action that we want for our world. Slowly we will mold a future that WILL help those in need of direction and those who are dishearten because of a life that offers little in the area of hope. It begins with us. Once a wave starts on a lake, it continues and will travel the full length of the lake. Our small steps in a positive direction can become the source of inspiration that can touch all of humanity. Start your own wave and let’s watch its rippling effect.

Jupiter has been in Leo since July of this year and we will be focusing on the movement of Jupiter in the sign of Leo specifically between 15-22 degrees. If you have your Midheaven at 15-22 degrees of Leo, Jupiter will be conjuncting this area of your Chart beginning towards the end of September and will remain in close proximity until late June, 2015. Jupiter goes into retrograde motion on December 8, 2014 and will pass over this area of your Chart two more times before it moves beyond the 22 degree mark. Its influence will intensify each time is conjuncts this area of your Chart. Transiting Jupiter’s orb of influence can be felt about 5 degrees approaching and lasts about 2 degrees while separating. Jupiter is known as a major benefactor in Astrology and usually provides luck and good fortune or at least a positive approach to life’s circumstances when it becomes activated with another point in your Chart. When Jupiter conjuncts the midheaven quite often one receives opportunities to further one’s occupation through promotion or increase in salary. This opportunity increases when Jupiter is well aspected in the Natal Chart. The results would be less affluently affected when Jupiter is under some stress in the Birth Chart. Jupiter regardless of natal aspect (with the except for Saturn) rewards and provides opportunities to move forward in your life’s direction. Sometimes one’s aspirations and outer goals come to fruition during Jupiter’s contact with the mid-heaven. You may get more recognition for hard work but Jupiter’s main expression deals with expansion. If for example you have been avoiding responsibility at work, you may also get noticed for this; however, because of the good fortune that Jupiter usually offers, you may only get reprimanded in a gentle fashion. Under most conditions, you would get another chance to prove yourself and in so doing, change your future prospective. When Jupiter is conjuncting the Mid-heaven, it is also in opposition to the IC or fourth house cusp. This usually brings opportunities for changes in the home front although oppositions are usually not the best aspect and are often associated with other people’s opinions or communicational disruption and interchange. If Jupiter is conjunct this area of your Chart, there would be opportunities to move into a home of your own, or buy or sell real estate that you could prosper from during this time. The fourth house also deals with the family, and your family may experience gains at this time or you may assist them during this period. Jupiter is nearly always present when good things happen or some sort of expansion takes place. It promotes luck and ease in obtaining benefits unless there are other challenging aspects within the Chart at the same time. If there are plenty of squares or oppositions and even some conjunctions to planetary placements within the Birth Chart during the transiting Jupiter conjunction, you will have to weigh in all the potential challenges that these other placements will have. In most circumstances, Jupiter will provide some fortunate outcome although you may have to work very hard to achieve what you set out to do. Jupiter is normally beneficial in its effects. Find out how Jupiter is affecting your Birth Chart and understand what the opportunities for growth are for you.

After a hectic day performing all the necessary tasks to fulfill your commitments, whether it be a day spent at work outside of the home or a busy day working at home watching the children and doing the house chores, it is essential to have a place where you can retreat – a place to call your own. Some prefer to take a walk outside viewing the garden and its beauty. Some like to sit and turn on the television and watch their favourite show, while others need a place where they feel secluded and are able to review the day’s activity and recharge the emotional batteries. You need some time to reflect on the day and whatever activity or lack thereof it takes to settle you down, this should be pursued. If you find peace and solace through meditate or a walk in nature, take the time required to release any pent up emotion from the day’s workload and events. It is important to release any tension and stress that you have throughout the day’ events. Relax your mind. A nature walk, meditation or a gentle musical interlude are all good ways to find that place of serenity that we all need to release. Sharing the day’s events with a loved one or companion can also help you release and unwind after a busy day. Even if all events of the day were positive and you are at peace with the events, share them with someone. Release the joy and share the feelings you have about your day. Each and every one of us has a need to release. If after your release practice, you still feel restricted or obstructed, a listening ear or a strong shoulder will often help the situation and bring new light on subjects that just needed a different vantage point. Finding your place of solitude is essential. Each of us needs to release any emotions that are hindering our otherwise peaceful existence. If you have had a wonderful day then share it as your feelings can also go along way on making others happy, simply by being and sharing with you. Find your place of retreat, your place to unwind and continue or end your day free from any anxieties or stress.
