SUN in VIRGO

Harvest-time begins!

The SUN enters VIRGO where the lessons of spring and summer are culminated before making the transition 

to fall and winter.

SPRING: Ushered in on the horns of the Ram at Equinox, carried by the great Celestial Bull, and explored the dual nature of mind with the Gemini Twins.

SUMMER: Inner research in the sign of the Crab at Solstice, outer willpower with the Lion in Leo, and now onto gathering experiences in Virgo.

Outer Awareness of the Sun shifts from the (fixed) fire realm of inspiration in LEO to the (mutable) earth sign of adaptability in VIRGO. 

The SUN tours (mutable) VIRGO 8/23-9/23 where we gather up the fruits of our labor, looking all the way back to when the planting began at Spring Equinox.

During this time, the Inner MOON also covers the (mutable) adaptability expressions of all four elements; FIRE, WATER, AIR, and EARTH.

VIRGO SEASON QTR LUNATIONS:

Aug23 Gemini Waning Moon (mutable air)
Aug30 Virgo New MOON (mutable earth)
Sept5 Sag. Waxing MOON (mutable fire)
Sept13 Pisces Full MOON (mutable water)
Sept21 Gemini Waning Moon (mutable air)

The highlights throughout this season of the harvest include FIVE lunations, SIX energetic shifts, and SEVEN planetary meetups.

All of this along with EIGHT moon meetups, call it NINE if you count the SUN/MOON meetup at the very significant Virgo New Moon.

Great news on the Rx front as well! As the great structural teacher Saturn stations direct just as we finish up our virtuous labors in Virgo.
