30th August 2016 Venus moves to Libra, Mercury turns retrograde, 1st September New Moon in Virgo solar eclipse

 
Hi everyone! 

We’re travelling under the Sun in earthy Virgo along with a stellium of planets all pointing the way and keeping the focus on healing and purification! 

What’s been happening:
Mars/Saturn Antares meeting on 24th:  Whew!
Did you feel that shift in energy as Mars and then Saturn pulled away from their meeting with Antares?  It was about 27th, 3 days after their exact meeting. Such heaviness we’ve been processing this past week as we stood at the threshold to the underworld thanks to Antares presence.  All manner of darkness and shadow emerged from us, from humanity and from the earth.  I felt as though a truck had run over me or as if I was caught in the rubble of the earthquake zone, crushed to pieces with all manner of pain emerging from the body. 
Staying true to our experiences and honouring our journey:
Maybe you didn’t have the physical experience but felt the emotional challenges of heaviness of heart, mind, the body.  It doesn’t matter the source or the experience.  And if you experienced none of this then that’s totally what you need to honour. We just need to stay tuned to our personal experience and be true to that.  We have different experiences at different times depending on our ‘brief’ this lifetime which we can interpret through our natal chart.  However, there are broad trends which many experience at the same time. 

It’s Virgo energy calling the shots!
With a stellium of planets in Virgo, we're in a big healing time.
Grounding...hug a tree!
On 23rd August the Sun joined Mercury, Venus, Jupiter as well as the North Node of the Moon in this earthy sign of the divine feminine.

Cleansing and purification is more than having a bath or shower:  It’s emotional, mental and etheric!
'Healing' means coming to wholeness and in Virgo it's all about the purification process, cleansing the aura and all the bodies...mental, emotional, physical and etheric. If you don't maintain the practice of meditation, light work, breath work, toning, physical movement to clear extraneous energies arising from the earth and humanity as well as from within, then you're likely to feel unwell and off balance.

Illness signifies a rebalancing:  The immune system is our messenger!
Health and wellbeing, Virgo's focus, requires diligence and awareness to what's throwing us off kilter. We're all carrying the dark primal forces within as long as we live on earth. How we deal with them is our responsibility. When we experience illness we can guarantee that something's being brought into balance, being released. Allowing that process to run its course and practising the release processes which suit us is the way to go.

Focus on digestive, nervous and respiratory systems:
With Virgo, grounding our energy is important so the food we eat, exercise, walking as well as a balance of rest and relaxation for the nervous system as Mercury rules the nervous system. Often the Virgo energies can bring about issues with digestion so especially important this time not to overload the system and to eat foods which are easily digestible. The digestive system holds so much unresolved emotional energy so eat what you feel like and when you feel the need to eat to allow the emotions to release.

27th August:  Venus meeting Jupiter brings rainbow abundance for all!
There's rainbow on the horizon as we move away from the intensity of the last week's karmic cleansing and purification brought to us by the Mars/Saturn/Antares connection.

An old door closes, leaving behind the heaviness of the grey clouds and the new door opens on the rainbow offered by the meeting of Venus and Jupiter.

Our heart energy expanded by Jupiter's hope, optimism and promise as the two met on 28th August 8.29 am AEST. The rainbow energy is already washing over us and stays with us until 29th August.

A new chapter of abundance:
However, their meeting signifies a new chapter in good fortune, luck, love and the abundance of life on earth. How beautiful that it comes in to uplift and prepare us to accept the healing earthy power of the New Moon in Virgo on 1st September.
Let's ride the rainbow and have faith that we have closed a very big door on the past!

Following on from Venus’ meeting with Jupiter, she rides the rainbow of abundance straight into the arms of Mercury, our mind manager!
 
A new chapter of heart/mind connection:
Conjunctions/meetings of planets signify the opening of a new chapter
Mercury, our mind manager and Venus our heart energy make some beautiful music today when they come together at the final degree of Virgo, 29 degrees. Another meeting signifies a new chapter in the heart/mind unification.  It’s a rebirth of heart and mind coming together on the final degree of Virgo, the sign of healing and wholeness. It’s a beginning and a culmination all at the same time!


The shadow of Saturn and the darkness of Antares is still hovering over us for a bit longer:  
Dispel the dementors!
Be patient for that heaviness to move on. Saturn is a dampener and with Antares seems to be bringing out all the karmic goo from every pore of our being.  If you’re still doing it tough chances are something’s being aspected in your chart in relation to Saturn/Antares.

Keep focus on bringing in the love for self and harmony with heart and mind will bring us through to the New Moon on 1st September. The 'dementors' can only drag us down when we lose focus on the light!

Hocus, pocus, focus!
 
What’s coming in:
30th August:   Venus moves into Libra at 12.06 pm AEST
Love, balance, harmony and justice!
Until 24th September
Venus leads the way into Libra:  Heart power, wisdom and divine partnership!

Venus moves on to Libra the day after meeting with Mercury/mind.  She is the trailblazer for mind and heart unification and setting up the energies for Jupiter’s entry into Libra on 9th September.


 
Mirror, mirror on the wall: 
Accepting the reflections...’the good, the bad and the ugly’!
Libra rules all one one one relationships including the one we have with ourselves. Through our one on one relationships we come face to face with many aspects of ourselves.                                         Art:  Tamara Adams
 
When we find a kindred spirit, the reflections feel positive as they reinforce who we are and our sense of self.  When we see, meet others who challenge us in some way, we just need to do a ‘reccy’ of whether those ‘irritants’ in the other are disowned aspects of ourselves.  

When we can observe without getting too triggered, we move beyond the judgmental feelings.  We come to peace within ourselves, the greatest gift we can give ourselves and the world.  It’s a seemingly impossible task in today’s world and yet we continue in this learning about ourselves process.

Divine karmic justice:  Coming to peace and resolution!
As a ruler of Libra, Venus has come home to offer us the peace and equilibrium that comes from the rebalancing of our being.  We just had a meeting of mind and heart with Mercury and Venus meeting on 29th.  This sets us up for working further with the rebalancing act of Libra as heart energy leads the way into the sign of harmony and love!
 
Whatever it takes:  Karmic justice for the heart!  
We are all entitled to experience the full power of love!
We think of Libra as all peace and love but there is the side to Libra which demands and seeks justice and the pursuit of that justice can at times seem ruthless.  The Venus/Jupiter rainbow connection brought expansive loving energies of abundance on all levels and effectively flushed out any dark shadows within which have been harbouring feelings of being unloved, critical of self and others and unworthiness. The ‘good stuff’ comes in and highlights those feelings, thoughts and memories which have kept us in the darkness, separated from full light and acceptance of divine love.
 
The bottom line:  Peace, love, harmony and divine justice for all!
 
 
30th August:  Mercury turns retrograde at 29 degrees 05 Virgo at 11.03 pm AEST
Until 22nd September
Into the labyrinth:  Round and round we go!

The inner journey which takes us through a mind purification bringing clarity and understanding which may not be fully accessible until we emerge from the retrograde journey. 
 
Nuggets of ‘gold’:  Aha!  I’ve got it!
However, that being said, during Mercury retrograde time we are likely to discover nuggets of ‘gold’, knowledge about ourselves and our place in the world. 
 

Work, commerce and divine calling:  Getting our ducks in a row!
In particular, Mercury rules commerce as well as communication and Virgo is concerned with the everyday world of work and our alignment to our ‘divine calling’.  This is perfect energy for joining the dots from ‘work’ to ‘joy’!
 
Pigeon post:  Communication slowing, reviewing, possible glitches!

Yep, we know.  Communications slow and can become confused.  Ensure travel plans, appointments, all vehicles are okay.  Double checking all forms on communication is important.
 

‘I’m late, I’m late for a very important date!’  No...you’re not!
 
Divine timing, divine order!
The agitation that often comes with Mercury retrograde periods MAY be exacerbated  by Mercury retrograde in Virgo who likes everything on time and in place. We need to stay focussed on refining whatever we’re working on. It’s dotting the ‘i’s’...all good!


Steady Neddy!  Remain calm!  Calm!   Time out!!!
As we all know if we’ve been observing our experiences, we could possibly experience technology and/or technology glitches, breakdowns during this period, especially on the day Mercury changes direction or a day either side.  Often these glitches seem to be of the strangest nature and seemingly cannot be ‘fixed’.  Not always mind. However, it’s worth remembering and if something does occur, give yourself some breathing space and some time out in trying to fix the problem.  Sometimes, the problem just rights itself of its own accord. 
 
Back to the past:  
Reclamation, review, renew, regenerate, re-consider,  
refine and any other ‘re’ you can imagine!

Turn back the clocks, step back in time to find some of the treasures we’ve overlooked as we were steaming through the fires of purification over the last month or two. It may be ideas, projects, people, places or any number of memories from the past.  Stay open for what’s coming through.  is it a final closing on the door or opening to a new perspective of this ‘past’ energy.

 
Perfect time to refine and streamline:  Sorting, sifting and clarifying!
Retrograde periods offer an opportunity to ‘tidy up loose ends from the past as well as give us some breathing space to collect out thoughts, especially with Mercury our mind manager travelling through the ‘clean and tidy’ energy of Virgo.  Virgo offers that wonderful energy of synthesis and refinement which ‘cuts and polishes’ all the rough edges and loose ends of our thinking.  Make the most of this tidying up period to clear the mind and sort out the wheat from the chaff whether it’s your ideas, old ideologies or thought processes.  If you’ve got an old project on the backburner it may come forward for reclamation and offer a renewed focus!
 
 
1st September:  New Moon in Virgo Annular Solar eclipse at 9 degrees 21 Virgo at 7.03 pm AEST
Art:  Amanda Clark
What a spiritual set-up for this New Moon Eclipse!  Primed and ready!
The astrological energies leading us into this have been nothing less than unbelievable with a whole host of Virgo planets working on the purification process along with Saturn/Mars/Antares clearing primal energies from within our physical world/s body/ies.  It’s been an incredibly physical experience whilst clearing the cell memories and transforming the DNA. 
 
A New Moon in Virgo:  Let’s get real! 
Virgo is concerned with the earthy everyday reality of our mundane world, finding joy in the simplicity of life and taking pleasure in energising life through order. 
 
Magic happens!  Surreal?  ...yes!
However, there is another side to Virgo, a magical side which will be awakened and/or re-awakened with this New Moon which, within the current energies of the eclipse and Mercury retrograde in Virgo, will be turning our everyday view of the world on its head.  We’ll be like Alice down the rabbit hole...adventuring!
 

Manifesting potential:
Like Capricorn and Taurus, Virgo carries the earthly manifestation powers when harnessed by the esoteric energies. 
 
Sun and Moon united and reborn:  More Virgo healing and...rebirth!
The Sun and the New Moon are on the same page calling us to believe in the power of joining the dots from the spiritual energies to the physical realm. 
 
Joining the dots:  Spiritual and Physical bodies!
We’ve been working with this diligently for the past few weeks in purifying and cleansing, releasing ourselves from the social conditioning, the embedded DNA and cell memories from other times, places and people.  We’re coming to believing in our own power, our entitlement to feeling worthiness and to receive earth’s blessings in full. 
 
 
Neptune opposite the New Moon:  
A bridge to the great unknown!
Personal and planetary evolution! 
We're accessing the big unknown and bringing it into earthly reality.  Who knows what knowledge is coming in with our communicator Mercury in retrograde motion in his home sign of Virgo. 

What we do know is that the spiritual knowledge is coming into our physical being, into our physical world.  A more elevated and refined perspective is manifesting in the coming weeks!
 

Here’s the potential:  
All for one, one for all we’re all crossing that bridge and joining the dots!
North Node up close to the New Moon/Sun:  
Physical evolution of consciousness
 
South Node close to Neptune:  Spiritual/emotional evolution of consciousness
 

Mars at 14 degrees Sagittarius will be on the Great Attractor:  
The Great Anomaly working on the physical body! 
 
This energy is so huge, bigger than any energy in the cosmos yet identified by scientists.  All they know is that it has a gravitational pull greater than anything in our known world.  It is not a black hole.  It draws in and ‘spits’ out a little like a breathing life form.  
 
Mars, ruler of our physical body, fire and drive is sitting on this powerful point of release at the New Moon.  Can we expect a personal and/or galactic ‘shift’ in energies at and following this New Moon?  Entirely possible. 
Maybe you’ll feel the ‘life’ or ‘old life’ being sucked out of you like the dementors in Harry Potter.  It’s a cosmic experience that is galactic and I imagine we’ll be coming out of this New Moon more empowered than we’ve been for some time.
 
‘The Great Attractor is a gravitational anomaly in intergalactic space within the vicinity of the Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster at the centre of the Laniakea Supercluster that reveals the existence of a localised concentration of mass tens of thousands of times more massive than the Milky Way.’

From 1st September New Moon Solar Eclipse until New Moon in Libra:    Into the eclipse vortex! ‘Down the rabbit hole’!
Eclipse vortexes bring unusual and often extraordinary experiences, very much like Alice in ‘Alice in Wonderland’.
 
For the next month we enter an alternate reality, so it seems, which offers perceptions and insights beyond our normal vision, experience and understanding.
 
Expect changes to our physical world:  

Unexpected, extraordinary and often sudden!  Be not afeared!
This New Moon is a Solar Eclipse in the earth sign Virgo.  Solar eclipses usher in changes to our ‘physical’ world, our outer life in the world which may manifest within a month to 6 months, even 12 months later.  Those changes for us all will be in the realm of health, wellbeing, everyday work, the mundane world and our divine ‘calling’/path of joyful service.
I am feeling with all the other planetary line-ups that the changes coming in will be bring a positive shift and boost to us all whatever our realm of concern or focus.  Virgo is offering to ‘clean up’ our act on earth!  Hang on for a ride!
 
 
Astronomical Information:  1st September Annular Solar Eclipse

An annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon covers the Sun's center, leaving the Sun's visible outer edges to form a “ring of fire” or annulus around the Moon.

Regions seeing, at least, a partial eclipse: South in Asia, West in Australia, Much of Africa, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Antarctica.

Virgo 10
TWO HEADS LOOKING OUT AND BEYOND THE SHADOWS
This Symbol implies the ability to see things from many sides, not just one. You may be able to, or need to, see things from two perspectives. This can be a marvelous asset, particularly with the Virgo ability to discriminate and make observations. This Symbol can also imply split personalities or not being able to make one’s mind up. Further, it can show situations where two people are checking each other out, but aren’t able, or allowed, to show themselves, they’re “Beyond the Shadows”. This Symbol asks that you look beyond situations and into the light. People may be afraid to take a chance, just 'looking out' and not moving forward. Duality of observation. People peering and peeking. Spying. Secret agencies. Private detectives. The media, paparazzi, conspiracy theories. Voyeurism. Cross eyed. 

The Caution: Confused by duality. Failing to see the integration of more than one perspective. Mental instability. Fear and apprehension. Bickering. Eavesdropping.


Lauren Gorgo’s 5D message for 29th August:  ‘Eclipses to Equinox: the ultimate balancing act’

Opening paragraphs:
The energies of the new month are already beginning to arrive, heralding the entrance of some superhero (m-f) rebalancing efforts set to take place in our lower body system in preparation for 2017…a year when the planet will need as many people as possible anchored in divine neutrality.

We are moving into a period of grounding, a profound integration of the new accelerated creation cycle which amplified exponentially thru the Lion’s Gate, and becomes fully viable on the September 22nd equinox, directly following the last eclipse of the year.

I know that many are relieved that August is coming to a close but the Leo energy amounted to an absolute inferno of creative fire that was so necessary for this upcoming cycle.  It brought with it many perks, but also many challenges, as we were required to burn off anything still preventing our fully empowered (divine) Self expression.  The upside is that we realized, with the right perspective, that the fires of hell are really just those of transmutation…dogged in their determination to empower us to become the leaders of our own lives.

And from what I am hearing, so many have succeeded in ways that will change the course of our lives, but also the course of history.

Well folks that’s it! 
 
A bit on the lengthy side but so much happening I just needed to include with one aspect leading to another. We’re heading towards the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces with Jupiter shifting focus from Virgo to Libra after his year of expansive purification of hopes and dreams, bringing us into alignment and acceptance of our divine calling!
 
As always love and blessings to us all as we embark on our journey into the eclipse vortex with the New Moon in Virgo.  All we need to remember is to expect the unexpected, go with the flow and be open to the universe offering the gifts of fresh perspectives and fields.
 
Oh yes!  We don’t know where we’re going so just one foot in front of the other and let the heart lead the way!  If it excites and stimulates passion in the spirit then there’s every chance we’re right on track...somewhere!
 
Hugs all round, Mad Hatter wishes and we’re not running late!
