The transiting Sun moves into the Virgo sign this week. Happy solar return to Virgo Suns! Sun makes an exact conjunction with Jupiter on August 26. Jupiter is a bit enervated in the Virgo sign (a blessing, perhaps, with a muted Jupiter tending to avoid excesses). Sun and Jupiter form a planetary pair, making the earthy conjunction powerful and potentially useful. Jupiter is a minor Sun, with his own “solar system”, and the abundance and optimism of Jupiter melds well with the Sun’s vitality and consciousness. This week therefore can be quite productive in the workplace, for example, other things equal.
Mercury also speeds into the Libra sign by the end of the week. He will be leaving his classical dominion and exaltation in Virgo, but Mercury does well in the air signs. Reading and socializing tend to be more of a focus with Mercury in Libra, as well as exchanges of ideas and mutual benefit in commerce, also propitious for the workplace.
Venus and the three outer titans, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, continue to retrograde, while Saturn slowly but surely crawls towards the Sagittarius sign. Of interest, over half of the planets appear to tend to their own duties this week, separated from the other planets in the transits. The effusive, spiritual Neptune is a towering presence in his home sign, Pisces; Saturn and Pluto continue to play ping-pong, generating a “structured power” theme and emphasizing a last gasp of behind the scenes authority and emphasis on transformation of institutional structures in the mundane world; and Sun-Mercury-Venus are in a medley of their own by the end of the week, combining conscious collaboration with thought and ideas for business or other endeavors of the mind.
When the urge to develop your psychic abilities arises, it’s probably ignited by some combination of a deep desire to help others…and a recent encounter with some perplexing and gooseflesh-inducing phenomena.
