Ok, so we all make mistakes. And right now we may have our mistake-meter on full and can sniff them out for miles with both Venus and Mars in Virgo. But whether we use this power for good or evil is up to us.
It is a summer of little projects and big changes. Summertime hits its full creative and lazy stride this week as the Sun enters Leo, but both Venus and Mars in Virgo ask us to keep working, work on ourselves and on everyone around us. While this is great for home improvements, great for cleaning up terrible messes both ecological and political, it can wear on our soul.
Under this Virgoan influence we tend to process our relationships just for fun. We can do so productively if we stay focused on what helps, but need to watch the tendency to berate ourselves or others, or chew on a subject until it is threadbare. Our sense of humor can get ruthlessly witty, so watch for some spectacular verbal rants and witty erudite ripostes on the evening news.
With these two planets in Virgo our attention is brought to all the detail that need work, just as some major aspects ask us where we’re going and why. If we feel overwhelmed or at a loss as to where to start, it helps to just begin, one weed at a time, one sentence at a time, both to make an improvement and to keep our hands busy while we mull. It also helps to be kind; we need to reach down to the Virgoan gift of compassionate action if we want to grow from this cycle.
The weekend begins restless, ambitious easily discouraged as the Sun in Leo trines change-maker Uranus. Ideas are bantered about as to how we can change or deal with change. Sunday, and early next week events can get wild on the big screen although our own little lives may just get sleepy as Mercury opposes Neptune and fogs our critical thinking capacity but not our ability to be critical. We’ll need to check facts and use fiction creatively. Take seriously any questions of water quality, mold growth or toxicity; stay hydrated and watch out for drunk drivers.
This Mercury–Neptune aspect can fog our judgment just as we deal with some major aspects, so deal with anything urgent and mull over but postpone less urgent decisions. We may just need to rest and let the psyche adjust to the changes in progress rather than try to push them along.
