Welcome to Virgo season!

The focus is on discerning where to focus your energy as you are empowered to heal through change and disruption.

Notice: What Virgo Season Is Asking You to See

We are already in the midst of eclipse season and have been through the first eclipse in Leo. The second one, closing up the Pisces end of the axis of healing for this eclipse cycle, is in a few days.

The Virgo Sun inspires discerning energy as we move through this mutable month.

Notice where you are too heavily focused on controlling outcomes or jumping in to fix stuff that isn’t really yours to fix. You can empower others to learn and grow too!

The Pisces Lunar Eclipse Closes This Eclipse Cycle

We have a few disruptive events in the coming season that will incite change and shifts that are helping you progress toward your highest good.

All of them occur at or around a lunation this month. So if you’re curious about them, there’s more depth in my premium Moon Play newsletter. 

Mercury Cazimi and the Message It Brings

Mercury cazimi on August 27th brings a magical message or revelation from Mercury.

Jupiter trine Saturn Rx on August 31 is part of a 20 year cycle between the two teacher planets that helps us find the balance between growth and constraint as it pertains to the house the seeds were planted in, winter solstice 2020. Dates and more info on how to align to this quality of energy are below.

Venus, Chiron, and Pluto: Healing Self Worth This Month

Venus is talking to Chiron and Pluto very strongly this month so expect themes of healing self worth and how you deal with power struggles to come to the fore. 

Something to muse: What is the Virgo Sun inspiring me to discern this season?

ALIGN: Finding Discernment in a Mutable Month

Using Virgo Energy to Organize and Prepare

Virgo season is a wonderful season to get yourself organized and set up systems that will help you through the messy times when life starts to go off the rails. 

Use the energy of the Virgo Sun to shine a spotlight on the places that need a discriminating eye and an organized touch. Lists and planning over the course of this month will help you achieve your goals and make it a productive month.

A Caution for Strong Virgo Placements

If you have strong Virgo energy (Sun, Moon, Rising or Midheaven) take care not to pile on too many projects this month. This will backfire as the Universe has more important matters you’re invited to deal with and learn from. 

Align to the quality of discernment to help you focus your time and energy on the things that you value most, not just the most recent dumpster fires. 

This month is inspiring a whole lotta change and healing through eclipses, Uranus’ station retrograde and Venus and Pluto’s continuing conversation in your fixed house about power and control. 

Jupiter Trine Saturn: Balancing Growth and Structure

The biggest astrological event this season is Jupiter Trine Saturn Rx. 

This conversation is a harmonious one that will increase your ability to discern between unchecked growth and structures that inspire sustainability. We are about 1/3 of the way through the 20 year cycle, and this one’s focus is on technology and the future. 

Aligning to this harmonious quality looks like finding the balance where things in your life are expanding, almost uncontrollably. And using the containing energy of Saturn to create structures that allow for sustainability.

Something to muse: How can I leverage more discernment this season to help me focus on and live my values?

Craft: Building Sustainable Systems Through the Jupiter-Saturn Cycle

As advances in technology are making headlines and causing discomfort in certain sectors of the job market, we can look to longer planetary cycles to discover how we are growing and learning through these times. 

Where We Are in the 20-Year Cycle

The 20 year Jupiter/Saturn cycle is coming to a harmonious point this season and you can leverage it for your own growth and sustainability. 

Below are the dates of when this latest cycle began in Aquarius. Seeds were planted at the winter solstice in 2020, and the first choice point was during Leo season of 2024. 

Leveraging Technology Without Losing Alignment

The energy to embody is how you are learning to balance the use of technology through sustainable structures. And if you aren’t yet doing so, use this energy to craft ways to make that happen. 

There are 3 hits of this harmonious aspect over the course of the next year. Make good use of it so that the first opposition in 2029 feels more celebratory than uncomfortable. 

This quality of energy invites us to find balance so that further advances don’t through us out of alignment with our values and disrupt our systems.
