This month  ...         

Security is not the absence of challenges,
but the presence of God,
no matter what the challenge.

---

This month's theme is:
DISCERNMENT, TRUST, HEALING & SERVICE!
As represented by VIRGO, MERCURY/CHIRON and 6th House.

   
Virgo gives everyone a chance to "process, sort & sift" all that has come up in the last two months. There is a line in the book, Little Soul & the Sun by Neale Donald Walsh, that says, "Now that I know WHO I AM, I want to BE it!" And I must suggest that in order for you to "BE" all that you discovered about your essential nature (in Leo) and what nourishes and supports you on the deepest levels (in Cancer), Virgo is the energy that extracts the BEST of YOU and helps you heal and/or release all that is no longer relevant or useful - within and around you.

With Saturn's journey through Virgo finally complete, this month's Sun/Mercury initiates a brand new year! Virgo time this year is a potent time for anchoring the healing process you've just gone through over the last 2+ years. It is time to organize your life on many levels. The Sun (your core-identity) and Mercury (your voice & self-expression) are traveling thru the sign of Virgo, which is purifying and healing these fundamental parts of you (Individual) as it simultaneously teaches trust (self) and discernment (others).

  

You are finally putting down real ROOTS to this "new you" and Virgo, the Healer, is here to support and guide you in the way a mother to a new born might; by being patient, conscientious and consistent. You just got a tremendous boost from the Leo energy, amped up by intense Eclipse energy added to the mix and hopefully, amidst all the change and (seeming) chaos, something beautiful was seeded. Routine is all-important to a new life initially, as with a new creation, creative project, relationship, collaboration, or a newly blossoming garden - everything is blooming beautifully yet still very fragile and requires care and attention to details, discipline and follow-through. These are just some of the many gifts Virgo brings to each of us (in different areas of life / chart).

Daily routine should include some periodic breaks - SILENCE is golden! Virgo energy tends to make everyone very "mental" which can be draining to the point of exhaustion ... especially if you do not take a periodic time-out. At this time, you may tend to over-think things, which leads to indecision and confusion (when afflicted). However, clear, objective assessment of the information available at this time will push your progress to the next level with lightning speed.

Analyze - Don't Criticize
Be Detail-Oriented - Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
Listen and Process - Don't Judge
Objectively Assess - Don't Over-Think

Virgo, also associated with the High Priestess energy, who is a solitary soul by nature. I always think of this time as the retreat to get Self in order before moving in to sociable Libra, collaborating with others and merging energies. In order to do that successfully, the individual energies coming to the table ought to be stabilized, grounded and focused. So take this month to assess how things are going so far. The 6th House is the end of the first half of this particular cycle.

What progress can you note from March/Spring Equinox till now?
Have you integrated more balance?
What needs to be tweaked?
How have you evolved thus far?
 
Virgo/6th House is the last House in the southern hemisphere of your chart; below the surface, behind the scenes, it is where your primary work and focus has been since March/Aries time. Like Venus, who recently came out of the Underworld to rise as the Evening Star, you have been stripped of all concepts of Self and are ready to re-create your Self ANEW! You have till October 2010 to ground the "new you" before Venus Retrogrades to give you a chance to recalibrate your balance (Libra) and anchor the connection to your true power (Scorpio). Every thing leads to and prepares you for the next thing, so use the next quarter to define your values and priorities so you can go forward centered in your heart and rooted in your integrity.

Only through our connectedness to others
can we really know and enhance the self.
And only through working on the self
can we begin to enhance our

connectedness to others.

This month's theme is:
RELATIONSHIPS, BALANCE & RECIPROCITY!
As represented by LIBRA, VENUS and 7th House.

   

*LIBRA* time begins to intensify even more as we lead up to some monumental shifts yet to come. The "theme" here is balance and compromise (Libra) … on the heels of sacrifice (Virgo). We have also re-defined "sacrifice" to *GIFT* or *OFFERING*. In every instance you feel the Universe is asking you to "sacrifice" something for your own greater good, say out loud: "It would be my pleasure to offer this GIFT! I am delighted to give in this way, knowing I am clearing a space for You, Great Spirit, to fill with that which will serve my Highest good, now and always." What did you have to give up in the last month? Last 6mo? Last year? Whether you think you did or you didn’t, rest assured that the sorting and sifting got done and there are parts of you that have permanently shifted.

  

Libra energy gives you a chance to more fully integrate your 'self vs. others' issues. If you have been extreme in either direction, expect a thump on the head from the Universe this month. One way or another, you will have to deal with your relationships, personal and professional. What you value – what you give your time, energy and money to – will continue to be stripped of the non-essential, unnecessary and irrelevant just to show you (undeniably) what is important, real and valuable in your world at this time. Your relationships will be the focus but always keep in mind that ALL your relationships are but a reflection of what you think of your Self. You attract those who will bring in to the light that which you may not otherwise be able to articulate. So catch your Self when you are complaining about others, and reflect on how and when you do the exact same thing. And keep in mind that as you change, those you attract will change as well. Do not focus on the negative, as much as acknowledge where you were not clear in your intention so you did not attract what you wanted. And yes, adjust accordingly, but focus primarily on the positive things, people and events you have attracted in for they will fortify you to deal with the rest. As humans, we are prone to holding on to and remembering the negative (pain is a helluva motivator) but the truth is if you are not using that information to IMPROVE on your circumstance, then it is simply a distraction delaying truth as well as your good. It’s a new day, and it is time for you to connect to all the strength you can muster, all the good you are capable of, all the truth you can handle (and even some you don’t think you can), all the courage you possess and all the wisdom you have acquired thus far to navigate these choppy waters. You can do it, but you have to be ever-mindful of the cues the Universe is giving you.

   

As you move above the horizon (in a chart) to Libra/7th House work, it takes you in to the realm of *OTHER*. Virgo completes the SELF-WORK, theoretically preparing you for social and global interactions that Libra brings.

NOTES ON THE CURRENT RETROGRADES ...

Retrogrades are periods of time that remind us of the natural cycles of ebb and flow, of expansion and consolidation etc. Barbara Hand Clow writes, "direct planets are electrical, and they cause energy to charge and move; retrograde planets are magnetic and draw energy in." This is an opportunity offered to you on a regular basis which teaches you when you are fully supported for magnetizing and bringing in whatever you need at that time. You stop to eat and fuel your body, you stop to fuel your motor vehicles, you stop to sleep and replenish your physical Being, why would you think Great Spirit would not give you an opportunity to revitalize your life force too?

  
Rather than looking at retrogrades as such an inconvenience, look at them as opportunities to review the areas of your life represented by the current planet and sign energies and re-vital-ize (breathe new life in to) these areas which have been depleted by recent forward movement. Hopefully, the energetic resources you've spent in supposed forward movement have been worth the sacrifice, but you will always have to stop and replenish at some point. Bless that time and opportunity and honor it by taking a time-out from forward movement to pull back, slow down or (possibly choose to) reverse altogether.

         

August/September:
August brings the intensity and a barrage of activations back-to-back, before - during - and after the Mercury Retrograde (8/20 - 9/12) - which indicates that we will be processing all these relatively rare social and collective alignments on a very personal level. Uranus RE-enters Pisces (8/13) for the final time to complete a 7-year Cycle and it also brings an 84-year Cycle to a close. Anytime Uranus is kicking, radical change and ultimate liberation is on the table, but no one promised *easy*. Pace yourself, but at the same time, clarify all that you can on the topic of that which makes you feel *free* in any given moment. It's time to define your terms because as it moves in to active, passionate Aries, it will not allow you much time to process in the moment whatever the next step may be. You're going to have to be clear and decisive or your freedom may be limited in ways out of your control. Then, as September rolls in, Jupiter does the same, RE-entering Pisces (9/9) to finish up its work there before starting a *new* 12-year Cycle for everyone. It is definitely time to tell a *new* Story. Mercury goes Direct (9/12) and Pluto goes Direct (9/13) and Mars enters Scorpio (9/14) intensifying the current shifts across the board, but perhaps that intensity will help you clarify your needs and desires so forward movement can be more productive. The final piece for September is the fact that Venus (love, resources, values, priorities) enters potent Scorpio to do some very deep purification on your current value system. Rearranging priorities is rarely a simple undertaking, but in this case, it is truly necessary and Libra is involved so *balance* is an issue. This is the time to pay attention to how you direct your personal power where your love (relationships) and money (work) are concerned because Venus will Retrograde next month (10/8 - 11/18) and go back over this territory.

     

July/August:
July 2010 brings the 3rd of four Mercury Retrogrades in Earth Signs.  This entire year is about creating your ideas in tangible form.  As Mercury enters Virgo (7/27), you will probably begin to feel the urge to *organize* ~ your thoughts, your strategy (for forward movement) and plan of action when things move forward later in the Fall/Winter of 2010.   At mid-Leo, we enter a time of gratitude and celebration, in anticipation of the Fall Equinox Season of Harvest. Some call this the Pre-Harvest. You can get a jump-start on assessing the year once the Sun hits Virgo (8/23).  Mercury actually Retrogrades through Virgo Aug 20 - Sept 12, and you'll have a chance to review and kick off your plans later around early October.  Uranus too will dip back in to Pisces to complete a 7+ year Cycle ~ which completes an 84-year Cycle through the entire zodiac.  This is a huge opportunity, on a personal level, to connect to your intuition so the new initiation in Aries leads to more independence, freedom and liberation.

  

June/July:
June 2010 has Chiron newly into Pisces turning Retrograde, extending a *grace period* for finishing up the 5-year Process through Aquarius and *Initiating* a clean cycle in Pisces. This will continue in July for Uranus and Jupiter newly in to Aries, who will also go back and forth over the end of Pisces / beginning of Aries giving everyone a chance to recognize, adjust and assimilate the new energies and cycles being activated at this time. Saturn is finally direct and will permanently enter Libra in July, taking us fully into this new phase of development. Keep in mind that Uranus will spend 7 years in Aries and Saturn will spend over 2 years in Libra so even though it is not exact, there is a "loose" opposition the whole time while we integrate at this new level, Individually, Socially and Collectively. This will extend the vibration we are already well aware of since the last two years were spent balancing the Virgo/Pisces energy (ending) and now we'll have this time in Aries/Libra energy (beginning) where the dynamics of balance shift from Human/Divine ~ Personal/Collective ... to Independence/Relationships ~ Individual/Culture.

  

Apr/May:
April 2010 starts with Mercury initiating its 2-month stay in Taurus where your thoughts, ideas and concepts will get incredible support for 3-D manifestation that is both useful and beautiful.  You can review your ideas and thought patterns to see how  practical, stable and effective they are before applying them in *real-time*.  This coincides with the Saturn Retrograde RE-Entering Virgo, another Earth sign, for its final integration phase with Uranus in Pisces (before they both move in to Libra/Aries respectively) which is going to activate the final phase of anchoring the new rhythm/routine that supports the emerging vision.  Add to this mix, Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn, and all *3* Earth pillars of the zodiac are present and accounted for! Fundamental (and permanent) change is underway ... change your mind (Mercury in Taurus) and your earthly reality will blossom and feed you ... change the structure of your life (Saturn in Virgo) and your flow will be renewed and more effective ... change your definitions from the deepest core-part of Self (Pluto in Capricorn) and your contribution will take root and change the world!

*NEW* ~ Retrograde Planets has *ALL* posted for the entire year now!

  

Feb/Mar:
February 2010 brings the Sun (identity/Source), Venus (values/priorities), and Mercury (ideas/thoughts) in to Aquarius directly opposing the Mars Retrograde in Leo, activating an intense integration of the Mars work you've done thus far. With both Mars and Saturn backwards, tangible results may not be as obvious and actual forward movement may not be as swift as we would prefer, but trust me, much developmental ~ stabilizing energy is infusing things from behind-the-scenes. Continue to work without concern for appearances, you are massaging the substance you are working with in to a more useful form at this time. This may feel a little like the quiet before the storm, as Mercury will Retrograde again in April.

   

Dec/Jan:
January 2010 initiates with Mars & Mercury still Retrograde, Saturn will join them right before Mercury goes forward. You have additional powerful aspects, including more Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses (Dec/Jan) which are considered triggers and turning points, power and blessings along the way. When working with Retrogrades, always keep foremost in your mind that they are primarily about RE-VIEW - and all the other RE-words: re-vise / re-examine / re-think / re-dream / re-arrange / re-evaluate / re-new / re-vitalize / re-work / re-pair etc ... The Retrograde Planets this Season are all activating and/or recalibrating your core-being, redefining who you are, and what you think and believe, as your deepest desires demand expression. At this time, the transformative shifts occurring throughout the globe, are just as intense within you, as around you. It's vital that you connect to what you truly value, live THAT and walk your talk. Time is relative, but still a precious resource not to be squandered on petty distractions, issues which have run their course, or people / circumstances which do not support who you are this day - in this moment.
    
I leave you with this, when I did the Weekly Forecast this Season, it started and ended with Venus and the Healing Trinity indicating that any energy dedicated to cultivating your own healing, on the deepest levels, is completely supported.  The Monthly Forecast has detailed, in-depth coverage of this final Season of the *8* Sacred Seasons:  Cross Quarter/Samhain.  The Lunar Reflections *BLOG* and the article Archives are both very useful for researching the recent or past energies and cycles.  The Divinations are always poignant but if you prefer audio to reading, you can find comprehensive overviews and frequency-changing Breathwork on the Audio Samples!

   

Please remember that EVERYONE is going thru some major transition and probably several minor ones. Be patient, compassionate and kind in your responses to others, they may be going thru the same transition you are but sadly, cannot articulate it so they suffer a great deal more than those of you who have a support system of some kind and any sense of acceptance of your current lessons and blessings. Rebirth is hard, and labor is unpredictable in that you never know exactly how long it will take, so LOTS of water (or ice chips - ha) and deep breaths! Remember your health is vitally important, or it really does not matter what else you have going on.
