Listen & Be Heard Weekly Archives

I would like to welcome you to another week of self-discovery and universal understanding. On August 23rd the Sun moved into the constellation of Virgo. I would like to wish all those meticulous Virgos out there a happy Earthday. The life giving light of the sun is in your sector of the Zodiac, and it’s your time to shine in the Sun’s light. If you were born between Aug. 23rd and Sep. 23rd you are a Virgo, the sixth sign of the Zodiac. The sign Virgo is a mutable earth sign, and its ruler is Mercury. The key phrase for Virgo is “I analyze.” They believe that cleanliness is next to godliness or is the first step in that direction.

The symbol of Virgo is a virgin with sheaves of grain in her hands. The sheaves represent the wisdom that is harvested in the fields of experience. The planet Mercury is the ruler of Virgo. Virgos are forever seeking knowledge that will bring matter under the control of the mind. Virgos subject their world to microscopic analysis. The saying “can’t see the forest for looking at the trees” is a phrase coined after the critical perceptions of the Virgo mind. Virgos can become so engrossed with the trivial that they can lose the significance of the issue as a whole. Virgos must learn to discriminate between the essential and the trivial. They also must learn to be absolutely dispassionate in evaluating both their own performance and the performance of others. Virgos principle of analysis also rule the body functions of the pancreas, intestines, and digestive organs, which split up and reduce food to its elementary components in order that the body may select or reject what is useable. Virgo people are invaluable in business as accountants and managers. Other professions they do well in are teaching, writing, and research. As editors (Virgo is my wife?s rising sign) and proofreaders, they are unexcelled. Virgos manage in a reserved way to make themselves indispensable to whatever organization they are serving.

The year ahead for Virgos is full of testing changes that will have you questioning reality. With Uranus, the planet of unexpected changes transiting through the sign Pisces since Jan. of 2005; no doubt Virgos have had their share of surprises. The sign Pisces is opposite the sign Virgo in the Zodiac, with the planet of unexpected change opposite your Sun until March of 2011. You can expect sudden changes in your environment that challenge the freedom of your individual expression, and force you to take a stand about who you really are. These sudden challenges in the outer world force you to take more responsibility for your life.

Virgos are under the influence of another strong transit at this time. Pluto, the planet of regeneration and soul evolution has been transiting Sagittarius since Jan. of 1996. Since that time Pluto in Sagittarius has been squaring the Virgo sign, which will continue until Nov. 2008. This Pluto in Sagittarius square to the Virgo Sun has been testing the security of you knowing who and what you are. If you don’t really know yourself and if you are not grounded in true self- knowledge; this transit is likely to bring about crisis outside yourself that will cause major changes in your life. Conditions of breakdowns and decay are an outward sign of the need to rebuild from within. Virgos are a mental and earth sign that really don’t like to change. But change is needed to attain growth and awareness. If you won’t change with the times, then time will force you to change. This square of Virgo to Sagittarius has an aggravating tendency to slant information in any direction. Virgos at this time you are being tested, and the only way you will pass is to know your facts from your theories, and practice what you preach.

Now for this week forecast; on Fri. the 1st. Venus, the planet of personal relationships and artistic expression at 24? Leo will trine Pluto the planet of regeneration and soul evolution at 24? Sagittarius. (The scientist may have down-graded Pluto from a Planet, But you are still under the influence of Pluto’s energy whether you recognize the motives of your soul or not.) The energy expressed from this trine of Venus with Pluto will make your romantic passions run hot and full of intensity. Your sexual desires are also stimulated by this transit, making you want to explore the emotional roots of feelings in your personal relationship. Today your love for someone could become very compulsive and demanding,your desire for emotional intensity and passion could have you wanting the unattainable. But if both partner are willing, your love making today, could transport your feelings and emotions out of the ordinary into the extraordinary. A new relationship that starts today is likely to be quite intense with strong karma connections from your past-lives.

Early Sunday morning Mercury, the planet of communications and the details of daily life at 12? Virgo will be opposite Uranus, the planet of unexpected change and revolutionary ideas at 12? Pisces. The energy expressed from this opposition of Mercury with Uranus will have your mind working overtime. You may need to put some brakes on your mind if you are to sleep, because your thoughts will come fast and scattered creating undisciplined and nervous mental energy. Don’t attempt any tasks that require great discipline or care today, because you won’t be able to maintain the discipline. You won’t have the patience or the mental control to finish the job. Assuming that you can control your mind today, your mind will be open to powerful intuitive insights that could tackle some old problem with some new solutions.

Also on Sunday Mercury, the planet of communications at 13? Virgo will sextile Jupiter, the planet of expansion and growth at 13? Scorpio. The energy expressed from this sextile will have you seeking knowledge and wisdom from your daily experiences. Today you are capable of incorporating the daily details of your reality and fit them into the overall plans for your the future. This is a very favorable transit for all business negotiations, commercial transactions and discussions. Your intellectual curiosity will be stimulated today, so its a good time to study subjects like law, philosophy, religion and others subjects that deal with high-level thought.

Early Tuesday morning the Sun, your source of vitality and light at 12? Virgo will be in opposition to Uranus, the planet of unexpected change and revolutionary ideas at 12? Pisces. The energy expressed from this opposition of the Sun with Uranus will create surprising events in your close and intimate relationships. Today you or your partner may become extremely restless or impatient with something within the relationship which can lead to an argument or perhaps a break-up. The surprise or upset conditions can come from people or a person that you don’t know. The lesson that this transit teaches is to have you relate to parts of yourself that you have not adequately expressed before. Take heed of the restless feelings within yourself, and try to find out what it is that you want. It doesn’t matter what it is or if it is practical; just determine what you want. Later you can deal with the question of whether it is attainable.

Have a great week, and remember that communication = release.
