Inner Love in Virgo

MOON meets VENUS in the first decan of VIRGO where the theme is ACHIEVEMENT. Something done successfully; typically by great effort, courage, or skill.

In Virgo it’s harvest time! When the seeds of spring come to full maturity. Mercury (the Mind) is energetic ruler of Virgoland, so naturally the seeds planted in Mind, are of the greatest interest here!

The motto in Virgo is “I ANALYZE” in order to achieve the greatest harvest! Both the Moon and Venus, with their Creative and Receptive nature, are sure to adore the Sabian symbol for this degree!

IN A PALATIAL HAREM BRIGHT EYED WOMEN LAUGH HAPPILY. In a spaciously splendid (palace like) place in mind; creative & receptive aspects with illumined perception (bright eyed) express joy!

Talk about achievement! Cultivating a place in mind that resembles a palace; full of creativity, illumination and joy! Notably, VIRGO (Achievement) follows LEO (Rulership, Reformation and Ambition).

INNER SELF, MIND & SLEEP 

In LEO where the theme is REFORM - Productive Change 

Lots of dreams leading up to this meetup!

During SLEEP, the Conscious Mind MERCURY (powers down) and the Subconscious Inner MOON (powers up). Yet, sometimes Mercury (the Mind) remembers the dreams!

This is tricky, as Mercury thinks literally! The Subconscious realm of sleep and dreams is far from literal, it’s REFLECTIVE! The Inner Moon (reflects) the energies of the Outer Self.

Just like the MOON reflects the light of the SUN! The Inner Subconscious reflects the state of awareness, (the light) of the Outer Conscious Self. It’s viewed as FUNCTION vs FORM.

Universal (function vs form) symbolism works for everyone! Dream images reflect; (functions) of the energies in play, within the consciousness. Like the Sabian symbol for this degree!

A BARGE MADE INTO A CLUBHOUSE IS CROWDED WITH REVELERS. 

A means of moving through life experiences is made into a place in mind that's full of joy.

The Subconscious MOON in the HYPNOS realm of sleep is a means for moving through life experiences. Yet, when MERCURY joins the party; this means becomes a place in mind!

The realm of sleep and dreams becomes a place in mind for receiving valuable subconscious feedback. A place in mind with ample opportunity for greater SELF AWARENESS!

New Moon & Solar Eclipse In Cancer

The Revealing Nature of Research

NEW MOON - Solar Eclipse in the deep feeling sign of CANCER 

The Inner MOON meets the Outer SUN at 20° Cancer where the theme is RESEARCH; investigative inquiry, study or experimentation in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.

The constellation for this area of Cancer is ARGO; the great ship sailing over the waters of life experiences! Remember the Argonauts (Jason & friends) on a great quest in search of the Golden Fleece.

The Golden Fleece is symbolic of personal qualities & abilities of the highest value. The Sabian picture symbol for this degree mentions PERFORMANCE; the process of accomplishing a particular task.

A FAMOUS SINGER PROVES HER VIRTUOSITY DURING AN OPERATIC PERFORMANCE. 

A well know, harmonious & receptive aspect, demonstrates great skill (virtuosity) in grand theatrical style.

Cancer is cardinal water sign; the energy of (leading with the feelings). This New Moon / Solar Eclipse quite aptly reflects; going about this personal research with lofty deep feelings leading the way!
