Virgo…. Oh, efficient, detail-oriented, analytical, and organized Virgo. How desperately we need you to “clean up the mess” we make and to edit the noise of life. Your dedication and service for the well-being of all is the beauty of your energy!

Virgo comes to us with perfect timing. She is, after all, the sign of perfection! As we begin to move from late summer into fall, we find ourselves beginning to pay attention to where we need to edit our lives in order to transition into the energy of autumn, slowly letting go of all the frolicking of summer, the ice cream cones, the barbecues, the lazy days on the beach and move back into work and service. We become more conscious of our health by watching our diets, exercising, organizing a plan for ourselves to detoxify. We pay attention to the details of our lives setting the boundaries necessary to more efficiently prepare for the winter ahead. We direct our thoughts and actions towards our well-being (physically, emotionally, and spiritually). Virgo gives us an understanding as to what it means to say NO to those people and events that cross our boundaries and interfere with our goals. It is saying NO in order to say YES. As Gahl Sasson so eloquently puts it: “Say NO to sweets to say YES to health.” Virgo in our natal charts shows us where we need to pay more attention to detail in our lives.

God said:

What are the accumulated understandings I give to you again and again?

I say to let go of the past and past ideas. I say to open your heart. I say to be true to yourself - to be Who You Are, and so create joy and uplift the world. You are My heartfelt gift to the world.

Let’s review these concepts: Abandon the past. Open your heart the way the Sun greets the day. Be true to yourself. Be Who you are without fancy foot-work. Be your own counsel. To create is to recreate yourself and be new however long you shall live. There is another request. What is it? It will come back to Me later. Watch for it.

Be generous with all those you call others, for they are your very Self. Truth is far more than information. You already have more information than you know what to do with.

You can memorize information the way you would memorize poetry, and the vibration/consciousness/deep meaning may soak into you and reverberate within you.

When you first hear to be generous, when it is a new thought in your mind, and when it sparks an insight in your mind, you may think: “I didn’t know this. Now I get it. Yes, there has been an insight, and I realize the outreach of generosity.”

Now you think of generosity as a good thing, yet you may not have not fully realized this Truth. If you still have to ponder generosity, you have not yet realized it.

That your mind now grasps generosity as something favorable doesn’t yet mean that you automatically dip into this great reservoir within you. Old habits run deep.

Have you ever noticed that people who are professional singers, or the people around you who enjoy singing, are always in a euphoric mood? This is due to the incredible health benefits that singing offers. Here are five reasons that will make you play your favorite song and sing as if nobody’s listening.

1. Improved Mood

When you sing you release the same hormones and chemicals that are released during sex, or when you eat chocolate – and you feel calm and relaxed. It releases endorphins which boost your energy and make you feel less lethargic.

2. Lung Workout

Singing for a few minutes is like a well deserved workout for your lungs. Singing activates your abdominal, intercostal muscles and the diaphragm, all of which stimulate good circulation practices. When you sing, you take deep breaths which allow you to inhale more oxygen and release the tension in your muscles.

HJ: Gratitude and appreciate connect you with your innate ability to create happiness and prosperity in your life. They shift you into a perceptual frame where you see the beauty, good and abundance in all things and therefore this must be reflected in your reality. When you come from a place of abundance you create more abundance. When you come from a place of happiness you create more happiness. And so it is.

12 Little Known Laws of Gratitude (That Will Change Your Life)

“Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.”
― Thích Nhất Hạnh

Gratitude leads to greatness. It can literally turn what you have into more than enough, jobs into joy, chaos into order, uncertainty into clarity, and bring peace to an otherwise chaotic day.

As the ugly realities of the control system become ever more apparent so does the dialogue increase about what can be done about it. ‘Non compliance’ features prominently as an important tool for counteracting the slide into slavish conformation with the powers that be.

In general, as I see it, there are two main strands of choice available to those who wake-up and feel impelled to take a stand: the outward focussed activist approach and the one that favours withdrawal from the system and ceasing to comply with the status quo: ‘non compliance’. Practising both at once is a pretty tall order, but not impossible.
