Dear
MoonCat
Visitor,
Happy
September!!!
We
had fun watching the falling stars (meteor shower!) last night...
seeing all those mighty suns, so far away, I am reminded to thank my
lucky stars, wish on a falling star, and keep that starry-eyed look
on my face! I hope you do too...
Many
Blessings and Light!

How
to Treat your Virgo |
|
|
|
Your
Virgo is an Earth Angel, a swift, intelligent Mercury without wings,
a dynamically aware work-force. She notices everything. He is hyper-awake.
Virgo,
though unassuming, kind and shy, is one of the strongest signs in
the Zodiac. This is intelligent earthiness - discerning practicality
- a strong yet gentle kindness and nurturing born of sheer common
sense. Your Virgo strives to be a model of perfection. She loves to
please you! He is driven to impress you with his talent for making
the most out of the best!
Mercury's
other child, Gemini, is a much more lighthearted, air-born spirit.
While Gemini is busy gathering so much knowledge, Virgo insists on
action and wants to know what will be done with the information at
hand. The question is always - "of what practical use is
this?" A master at taking things apart and analyzing them -
Virgo always finds room for improvement.
So
how can you possibly impress one who sees and knows so much? How can
you hide your imperfections? What will you do when YOU are the object
of her keen observation? You must be a strong spirit to be with Virgo
- both hard working and emotionally tough. You will be happiest with
your Virgo if you are one who appreciates purity, discernment and a
logical mind; and spurns the superfluous.
Feed
your Virgo with uncluttered surroundings, a practical, frugal budget
and pure, beautiful speech. Make healthful foods a priority. Take the
trash out often. Iron your clothes. Ask your Virgo for help - Virgo
lives to serve! Remind your Virgo how much you appreciate his careful
choices. Tell her how impressed you are with her impeccable taste and
well thought out advice. Make her a part of your life- improvement team!
You
will be rewarded with an eternal help-mate, and a devoted,
down-to-earth, sensual, soft-hearted, compassionate lover.

How
to Treat your Libra |
|
|
|
 Your
lovely Libra man or maiden longs to walk side by side with you
through life. "Alone" is not in Libra's bountiful
vocabulary, nor is "lonely." A life of solitude is just not
acceptible, and if your Libra does not feel sufficiently loved,
you're sure to hear about it one way or another. If she doesn't find
you sitting lovestruck by her side, she'll be fluttering her lashes
at the nearest handsome beau, or lavishing gifts upon herself to feel
sufficiently adored. If he finds you unattentive or yawning at his
words, he will undoubtedly start flirting with the nearest skirt!
Libra
is a child of Venus, and will not hesitate to use all the charms the
goddess of love possesses in order to get what she wants. Beauty,
grace, wit, style and all the wiles of a temptress or temptor are at
your Libra's command. How can you possibly hold onto such a romantic creature?
First
of all, you must be fair with your Libra. She is highly aware of
balance and harmony in all things and can detect the slightest hint
of inequity. And be open - your Libra is so focused on YOU that he
can surely read your mind anyway. It's especially helpful, too, if
you are appreciative of all things beautiful - music, art and people
- (especially your Venusian Prince or Princess!). Or if art doesn't
grab you, your mind must be active and entertaining enough to keep
your Libra interested in everything you have to say. Then again, if
you are a terrific lover, you can forget about the rest! The bottom
line is, feed your Libra's insatiable need for beauty, love and
partnership and you're home free. You can get away with criticism if
it's done with a hilarious sense of humor. You can get away with
flirting if you flirt doubly (make that triply) with your Libra. And
you can get away with boredom if you lavish your Libra with anything
pleasing to the senses. It's as simple as that!
Help
your Libra with making decisions. Participate in his schemes. Make
loving suggestions while she is decorating or dressing. But most of
all, make sure your Libra feels adored - and you will be rewarded
with one of the most charming, generous, beautiful, handsome,
intelligent, witty and doting mates the Zodiac has to offer!

The
Hermit in the Tarot |
|
|
|
The
Hermit is associated with the Sign Virgo
~
Following the Light ~
The
Hermit travels alone through life. He is either oblivious to, or
doesn't concern himself with how others perceive him. This one is a
light unto his own. The Hermit follows a distinct inner vision. He
has a sure and well defined path to follow. This soul knows exactly
where he is headed and possibly even what he will find there - and he
doesn't necessarily need any companions, or even approval - except
perhaps from whomever or whatever he holds highest in his heart. In
my favorite Tarot book, (which I can't find -!!), the author defines
the hermit as one who follows the "straight and narrow path"
This is my preferred way of reading this card. Chances are - unless
the Hermit falls between two very ominous cards - the path the Hermit
chooses is the highest and most clear- visioned path one is capable
of. In other words... although perhaps unyielding to outside
influence, the Hermit doesn't hurt people, lie or make a mess of
things. He proceeds through life's challenges with great focus, and
the purest of intentions.
Sometimes
the Hermit represents you, and sometimes another person serving as a
Guide for you. Unlike the Heirophant or Priestess, though - this is a
guide who is willing to stand well outside of the usual boundaries -
apart from tradition or conformity, and quietly lead the way.
In
a much simpler context, perhaps the Hermit portrays a situation in
which you are completely on your own. There is no partner, nobody to
consult with. This is your life - and you must do what you must do! A
lonely guy or gal? Perhaps - but we all need solitude sometimes, and
sometimes even for a long time. And in the grand scheme of things,
except for that guiding light of Love we all hold so dear - we are
each indeed - all alone.
In
yet another scenario (again assuming that surrounding cards support
this) - the Hermit can indicate that things are going along as
planned. The scenario you are concerned with remains aligned with
your wishes and your ultimate goals.
On
a very personal level, this card asks you - what exactly is your
path? What light are you following? Is it your own, or something
pre-designed by society? In all likelihood, it is a combination of
both - but whatever it may be - it is certainly your own, and you
alone are responsible for your choices....

The
Outer Planets - Chiron, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and the Lunar Nodes
~^.

Uranus
in Pisces! ... Uranus will stay in the Sign of the Fish 'til
2011! Spiritual Revolution you say?? Yes, that would describe it
well. What can we expect with Uranus in Pisces? Perhaps our ideas
about death, sacrifice, the fantastic and impossible, transcendence
and service to humanity will take some dramatic and innovative turns.
We can hope that humanitarianism will take on new meaning and
purpose, and that service to others may become a more integral part
of our social order. With this placement, Uranus can become quite
reclusive or fanatical. Scientists who may have been hiding out for
years in research can bring new and surprising inventions and
discoveries into our midst, and Political Messiahs may come out of
the woodwork. With Uranus and Neptune in mutual reception - they will
rely upon each other more than usual, and herald perhaps a renewed
and revolutionary (Uranus) vision for humanity (Neptune) The cost may
be a certain amount of turmoil and confusion regarding just where we
are going for humanity, and will probably not be without conflict.
Neptune
in Aquarius (til 2012) is helping to set our expressions of love
and creativity into positive, innovative motion. A change in the
prevailing style in movies, fashion and art will be seen in the
months and years to come - probably bringing much more in the realm
of the unusual, shocking, rebellious, and inter-cultural.
Pluto
in Sagittarius speaks of honesty. While Pluto remains here (till
2008), we are all challenged to be true to ourselves and others, and
to accept and nurture the rich diversity of humanity and our animal
companions on this earth. The world is our family, and those who are
not willing to find, or at least look for the wisdom of the ages -
reflected in many ways through many religions, traditions and
philosophies - will surely suffer a crisis of faith.
The
powerful Neptune/Pluto septile, exact on Dec 1, 2006 and Feb.
21, 2007 will last (going in and out of close orb) into 2011! For
those of us who are very creative, tremendous inspiration can bring
influential, explosive, mind-blowing creations. In love - the
potential for making inspired changes is heightened - yet there also
exists the possibility of getting lost in confusion. Avoid falling
into a pit of despair, or indulging in self-destructive activities.
Getting nowhere fast? Look for Creative and Healthy, Inspired, Loving
outlets to save your skin! Get involved in helping others.... this is
especially important now! Neptune/Pluto can bring a fanaticism wthat
has not been seen since the last such aspect at the beginning of
WWII. Yet - this aspect is also very positive for creating lasting,
humanitarian changes throughout the world.
The
North and South Nodes are now on the Pisces/Virgo axis ('til
12/19/07). This node placement brings a greater sense of right and
wrong with the world and humanity on a grand scale, with issues of
escape, sacrifice, anhilation, and merging spiritually with others
coming to the fore karmically and within our relationships.
Christianity and religion in general may be at issue perhaps even
more than usual.
Let
us hope that, regardless of one's religious allegiance, all who feel
true love in their hearts will continue to spread this light of love,
pray for our planet, and find a way to peace - however that may be.
Chiron
in Aquarius... This archetype of human compassion will be
passing nonstop through Aquarius from January 06 til Feb. 2011,
bringing a period of higher inspiration in the realm of healing. We
may look forward to greater cooperation worldwide in the healing
sciences, and perhaps going back to tradition - those time honored
ways that our ancestors enjoyed and practiced in harmony with nature.
Perhaps we may find more and more "health" foods (ie
unaltered and unprocessed) on our grocery shelves, greater acceptance
of mind-body healing approaches, and some brave new ideas to surface, too.

Mewsings
from Venus & Mars... September 2007
the
Future Forecast for LOVE... Saturn is in Virgo, Solar Eclipse on 9/11! |
|
 |
|
Mars
in Gemini 8/8 to 9/28 has men more likely to show off their
skill and wit, and to tackle multiple tasks, and friendships. Keep an
eye on him, he may tend to wander some!
Venus
in Leo from 8/10 to 10/8 is retrograde 'til 9/8, intensifying
and giving extra passion to that Venusian LOVE energy. If ever there
was a time to pamper her, it's now... she will appreciate your
flattery and attentiveness, and might growl if she doesn't get it!
September will be a great month for optimism, fun, humor and
silliness in love. Don't sweat the small stuff - embrace your
childlike qualities, and enjoy the sweetness of life!
Mars
is in Cancer from 9/28 to 12/31 (retrograde 11/15 to 1/30/08,
and in Gemini 1/1 until 3/5/08 when the red planet is back again in Cancer.
This placement for Mars brings safety consciousness to our fighting
instinct, and quite possibly strong nationalistic energy. We are in
"home protection" mode, and may need to beware of creating
a sense of isolation or mistrust. However, if the focus is turned
toward non-violent fighting (Mars) for the protection of our
Mother (Cancer/Moon) earth, as well as for our families and
communities... then all will be well!
FUTURE
FORECAST FOR LOVE
The
first week in September, Mars in Gemini sextile Venus,
square Uranus & quintile Saturn brings a tendency to take
risks - in love and with authority figures. Our words can get out of
hand, or be taken the wrong way. 9/3 is a day to be extra careful
while traveling, especially locally.
During
the second week in September, Mars trine Jupiter, Pluto
octile Chiron and Jupiter sextile Chiron offer honesty and the
desire (hopefully also the energy) to bring about much needed
changes. Deep healing is possible where honesty prevails.
A
Solar Eclipse in Virgo on 9/11 is particularly interesting. There
is a grand square between Sun/Moon, Mars, Uranus and Pluto, and
Venus opposes Neptune - quite an explosive combination,
notwithstanding the ominous feeling of the day! Emotional reactions
can be disastrous when thoughtless, or lead to sudden, positive
change when well thought out. Idealistic visions of unity and
brotherhood can be squelched by egos and pride, yet may also bring
out the best in us. Big talk and big ideas are likely to be thrown
about and not acted upon, but through a strong, persistent spirit of
cooperation and peace, our efforts can be quite fruitful. Peacemakers
must try all the harder to build bridges that last!
During
the third/fourth weeks in September, when Mars opposes Pluto
& Venus opposes Neptune and trines Pluto .... look for
strong sexual attractions marked by dreaminess and possibly delusions
of love. Make sure that the love is real, or recognize and accept passion/infatuation
for what it is! Confrontation can lead to dramatic changes.

The Big Guys ~
Jupiter
in Sagittarius til 12/18/07 is in his glory, bringing tremendous
energy for truth, liberty, justice, expansion, increase, humor,
intelligence and broad-mindedness. Jupiter conjuncts Pluto at 28 deg.
Sag. early to mid Dec. '07 (exact 12/12/07), which I believe will
trigger great spiritual/moral outspokenness and fiery debate, as well
as increased activity in research and discovery. I see this as a sort
of "last chance" to speak your truth - then make your
peace. As long as finding common moral ground is the goal, all will
be well. Pompous self-righteousness won't further any goals, but
there may be some of that. Venus will follow (conjuncting Pluto) in
Jan. 08 with Mars opposite - another opportunity for mending broken
relationships. It won't be much longer til Pluto is in Capricorn and
honesty and flexibility give way to political models that are harsh
and/or set in stone. While Jupiter is in Sag, we have time to
communicate profusely and broaden our perceptions before they become
the status quo.
Saturn
in Virgo from Sept. 2 '07 til July 21, '10 brings our focus to
the things of the earth.. the cleanliness and purity of our physical
environment. These coming years can bring a stronger sense of purpose
and responsibility within our social institutions, government and
authority figures regarding the sanctity and protection of our mother
earth. A wonderful time this can be!! Let's feel our earth permeating
society, and becoming the central focus for all we do!
