Sun in Virgo
The sun moved into earthy, plan-oriented Virgo on the 23rd of August. Over the next month, we may notice ourselves become exceptionally detailed in our overall focus and day-to-day life.
This is a great time for getting shit done from a structured, methodical mindset. It’s time to do your research, get things done behind the scenes, and dot your I’s and cross your T’s.
This energy can be productive and stabilizing, or on the extreme it can create a sense of obsessive focus, perfectionism, and hyper-criticism.
Be aware of any fixations that come up through this time and any thoughts of “this needs to be PERFECT” that can prevent you from showing up and sharing what you’re creating with the world.
Chiron trine Venus
Chiron’s influence has been incredibly active this month, and we’ve been shown our deepest wounds regarding our connections and core identity.
Chiron’s trine to Venus on the 24th brought in some much-needed softness to our healing journey as we continue to explore what’s coming up for us personally.
While we're still in the depths of facing our wounds, we're being assisted with healing these pain points within our relationships especially.
If you want to learn more about what’s coming up for you personally, look up your Chiron sign as well as your Sun & Venus signs.
Uranus Retrograde
To add to the changes in the sky, Uranus joined so many other planets in retrograde on the 24th as well.
While this may not sound like a good thing, retrograde motion actually slows down Uranus' fast-paced energy, and may give us a much-needed moment to rest and catch our breath.
With so much to review and reflect on, we're processing a lot of internally-focused energy while simultaneously experiencing a great deal of external change.
This brings up themes of balance, flow, and adaptability as we continually navigate the shifting tides that are present this month and beyond.
Mercury in Libra
Mercury moved into the air sign of Libra a couple days ago.
A very social sign, Libra’s focus is on understanding all sides, facilitating fair and balanced communication, and creating harmonious spaces and connections where people can thrive.
In balance, can be an absolutely wonderful energy to experience.
On the extreme, Libra can be people-pleasing, self-sacrificing, understanding to their own detriment, or petrified to share their own opinions / “pick a side.”
With Mercury moving into this sign, our communication gets a dose of this Libra vibe. It’s so important to channel the energy or fairness and balance into this transit and include YOURSELF in the equation.
You deserve to be heard, to be held, to be understood. Others do too.
Both are important to prioritize. Wherever you tend to lean more heavily, make sure you’re including the other side.
Virgo New Moon (read yesterday's post for a detailed message on this)
The Virgo New Moon is still bringing up a lot into our conscious awareness. Trust the process and allow yourself to see what it reveals.
