Virgo is a fascinating sign that represents the mother of the world. Virgo ascendente may feel cut off from worldly riches and sensual pleasures, and they may be sad as they take on the world's sins, as embodied by the German phrase Weltschmerz.
Superior intelligence, shakti, physicality,
Universal life, the gift of poetry, eloquence, and music, as well as great
psychic and intuitive skills, are all aspects of this sign according to the famous
astrologer in India. Despite all of these blessings, life is frequently
a source of immense unhappiness. The benefits of transiting through Virgo
strengthen all excellent characteristics, but when they come too near to each
other, they might cause difficulties.
Mercury transits into Virgo, its exaltation
sign, from August 19 to September 9th, and then retrogrades back into Leo from
October 3 to 21st. This strengthens Mercury's abilities as mentioned above, and
it's an excellent period for profound contemplation and creative expression in
music and literature, as well as a clear mind and rational reasoning. Geminis
and Virgos rising perform particularly well with the health and career aspects
of the transit. Mercury turns retrograde from August 30 to September 22nd, and
at least half of it is in its exalted sign, so it shouldn't be as awful as
usual, however it depends on your rising sign.
The famous
astrologers in India have already written about Jupiter in Virgo, but from
August 25 to September 9th, we'll have three benefits in Virgo, with Jupiter,
Mercury, and Venus all present. On one hand, this is a nice idea, but it comes
with a degree of complication.
On Monday, August 22nd, Mercury is at odds
with Jupiter in a planetary battle. They are actually bitter enemies, and while
this conjunction is good for writing and thinking clearly, it can lead to very
complex relationship problems for Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, and Sag. rising,
centred around the challenge of idealism with Pisces and the practical,
critical, and biting nature of Virgo. It also can lead to broadening and deep
comprehension of any issue you are dealing with. Still, when they are within 3 degrees August
21-23rd , you might get carried away by enthusiasm and doing too many things
and being too critical or argumentative and getting into relationship squabbles. Be more patient and accepting of others and
less hard on yourself.
Venus
in Virgo reaches its lowest point of the year on August 25th and stays there
until September 18th:
Mercury balances out the debilitation till
September 9th, and Jupiter uplifts a little, but Venus in Virgo is problematic
for partnerships since she tends to be overly critical and analytical in this
sign rather than in pure idealist love. It's not a good time to start a new
relationship, and I've noticed a lot of divorces and marriage conflicts during
this transit. Accept and don't demand perfection from your mate.
This transit is especially tough for Libra
rising since it is a 12th house transit that emphasizes Venus's romantic aspect
rather than her purer love of beauty and the arts, and it can result in a lot
of spending, losing, and exhaustion. The lion position can assist Venus reclaim
her 2nd Chakra energy, while the plough and twist poses can aid the kidneys and
pancreas, which Venus in Virgo can stress. If you're attempting to replace
ruffled emotions with sweets, keep an eye on your sugar consumption.
Venus conjunct
Jupiter on August 27th can lead
to expansive feelings of wanting to buy and so if you have a problem with
“over-shopping” and “overspending'' watch
the last week of September suggested by the famous
astrologer in Kolkata.
Obviously if you are Virgo or Gemini rising or Pisces or Libra or Taurus Rising, you will probably feel these transits more or if you have a lot of natal planets in Virgo. But still should be more of a party once we get through the heaviness of Mars/Saturn conjunction on September 24th.
