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 in the Tarot is associated with 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
is in Capricorn now until 2024. The very fabric of society may
begin to be re-woven - but not before old structures are dismantled.
Capricorn is about authority, success, achievement and social order.
Pluto is about death and regeneration. Pluto asks us to dig deep and
USE what is best in our world to create something much better. We
need to avail ourselves of and share our brightest and most
humanistic minds (Uranus in Pisces, Neptune in Aquarius!!),
and not descend into blind destructiveness, greed or desperation.
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.
From
8/22 to 3/4/2011, the North & South Nodes are on the
Capricorn/Cancer axis, bringing a focus on relationships that
help us to achieve our goals, do our very best, and encourage us to
honor our teachers, supporters and mentors. As we enter this phase,
take time to remember ancestors and to acknowledge valued family
members, yet to let go of those memories and belongings that no
longer serve us. Reach out with enthusiasm for new opportunities that
may present themselves!
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 2009 |
|
 |
|
Mars
enters Cancer & Venus enters Leo 8/26-27, bringing a focus
on family and social groups - a great time for organizing and
planning for the future. Beware of overly protective attitudes that
can lead to misunderstandings or alienation, and remember to honor
and value your loved ones! Mars in Cancer ('til 10/16), can be
particularly overbearing, and might also contribute to nationalistic
fervor, however with the Mars/Pluto opposition nearly over -
hostilities should be easing.
Venus
is in Virgo from 9/20 to 10/14, bringing greater focus on the
little details of life - especially as they pertain to beauty and
pleasant relationships. Try to avoid nitpicking, and instead put
plans in place in your mind, and follow through with love and devotion!
FUTURE
FORECAST FOR LOVE
During
the first week in September, Neptune/Jupiter/Chiron are
still conjunct in Aquarius, septile Pluto, and all retrograde, while
Mars opposes Pluto (leaving) bringing mostly internally felt
healing realizations, openness to inspiration and new possibilities,
and expansion of our connectedness in love. Take time to reflect on
and feel gratitude for what you have gained these last months, and
communicate carefully to avoid blowups that can lead to abrupt
relationship changes.
The
second week Saturn opposes Uranus while Venus opposes Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron,-bringing
potential clashes between the forces of idealism/change and the
status quo. Those who would challenge authority are advised to think
well and follow through only on those plans that are sure not to backfire.
During
the third week, Mars quintiles Saturn while Venus trines
Pluto and octiles Mars, bringing increased energy for working
out those relationship bugs and irritations that can destroy a good
team. It is advisable to listen and share with love, and with
openness to change.
During
the 4th week, Venus in Virgo biquintiles and Saturn trines
the North Node, which is good for anyone looking for a long-term
partner and/or a whorthwhile creative project. Follow your
instincts, and go for the gold!
~
The Big Guys ~
Jupiter
is in Aquarius til 1/18/2010. Lucky, expansive Jupiter will be
crossing and re- crossing Chiron and Neptune during 2009, helping to
bring us new ideas in spirituality, religious openness, tolerance and
healing forms of justice.
Saturn
in Virgo 'til July 21, 2010 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 from
authority figures regarding the sanctity and protection of our mother
earth. A wonderful time this can be!! Let's make conscious
guardianship of our world the central focus for all we do!
