This week the Sun navigates us through the first decan of Virgo which shows us how to use our natural born skills to improve the environment around us. The first decan of Virgo is associated with the 8 of pentacles which shows a person sitting on a wood stump etching away at 8 beautiful coins. This depiction is an initiation into perfect focus. Perfect focus is a flow state that when accessed can open up a divine channel. When we are so in tune with the process and work that we set out to accomplish, there is a meditative mindset that is accessible. Through the rituals of Virgo, we can access the higher consciousness of Pisces. By editing, omitting, and clearing out the debris of the old, we can more clearly focus on our tasks with ease.
The great god of chaos Uranus stations Retrograde in Taurus at 23°05’. This shift in direction may or may not be felt by everyone as the outer planets tend to have a lingering effect on the collective unconscious. Uranus is the planet of culture, groups, and the invisible network which connects all people. When this icy giant stations retrograde there may be some internal stirrings and thoughts that crop up around our place in society. The way we think and feel about the collective is in review as well as how much weight we put on the collective’s perspectives. While Uranus is stations retrograde, Venus stations direct at 12°12’ Leo shortly after turning the personal planet of relationships and values outward. Once Venus stations direct, she will be unmatched and a force to be reckoned with. We may find topics of finances, money, and personal values begin to settle into place.
Monday 28th
A lot of deeper truths come up to the surface to be washed away. The relationship we have to our own inner authority is tested as we may find that today brings up the prospects for resilience. It is quite ok to feel upset and angry, to acknowledge those stronger emotional reactions without shaming or feeling guilty allows one to move the intensity productively. Uranus stations retrograde today, which is an energy that may not necessarily be felt by all but can bring up inner quandaries regarding community and purpose.

Tuesday 29th
Our personal needs and what we expect come into some clashes with the expectations of friends and partners. Today we need to find ways of sharing and offering our gifts in ways that will not be taken the wrong way or misunderstood/misrepresented. How we balance our need for attention and care from the community with their political or religious viewpoints is the big Q.

Wednesday 30th
The Full Moon in Pisces falls on 7°25’ Pisces at 6:56 am Pacific time. The water moons are always a bit ungrounding for those with a lot of earth & air in their charts and the full moons often usher in a swell of emotional release. Becoming aware of how and where we restrict ourselves out of guilt helps us to put forth more effort toward removing any blocks. Allow the curative waters of the Pisces Moon to wash away the pains from the past.

Thursday 31st
The amount of information that can be stored in the human mind and body is astounding. Today we may be able to access old memories and information that is rather synchronistically relevant. Follow the path of the white rabbit into new arenas and allow your mind to open up and connect to ways of thinking or being that you may have previously blocked off.

Friday 1st
At the beginning of the day, the air can seem thick as the Moon moves through a conjunction with Neptune however later on we become more pointed and direct with our motivations. We just might start out a bit sleepy then notice the fire get turned up as the day progresses. Dreams are powerful and some beautiful messages can come through the subconscious.

This is the last full day of Venus retrograde, and she is making a harmonious aspect to the Moon in Aires. There is a beautiful copulation that happens within us as the Moon and Venus make contact. The heart is open and we are more receptive to those around us. We also feel a kindred connection with our loved ones. This is a beautiful day for conscious collaborations.
