Virgo/ Grand Trine Earth, Seasons Change and a Harvest of Focus and Future

If I could name this season it would be the Season of Virgo and perhaps her compliment Pisces.  Not just because the sun is in Virgo, marking the coming of harvest, but specifically the kind of harvest that there is to reap, after a challenging few years of wear and toil (culminating this Winter through Summer)  we stand poised to reap that most Virgonian of harvests, the practical focus and plans for strategy. 

Like every "mutable" sign Virgo Marks a transition from one season to another.  Mutability allows for the bending and blurring so that a new thing (in one case a season) can come to pass and another may slip away.  Virgo marks the end of the Summer, the beginning of the Autumn.  But so much more so than the simple change of the year such an idea is prominent at this time far beyond that of the average Season.

The difficult trials that have been characterized by the Cardinal T square between Saturn, Uranus and Pluto is slowly unravelling, allowing us to embrace the conclusions that come when we examine our lack of responsibility to our personal power  given to and our responsibilities for our institutions.  The accountability of communication and negotiation  within a basic human relationships, and honest commitment to expanding our spoken ideals.  Heady stuff, and laying on us thickly for about 2 years!  Now as this slowly pulls apart we are freed to embrace the wisdom of hard toil.  Plus there is a thing or 2 going on in the sky that pushes these ideas even further...

To begin Sun Moon and Venus, all conjunct in Virgo implies:  Our sense of Identity Beauty and Desire (pleasure) and our sensitivities are vibrating together to the Virgonian tune.  Sensitive to practical matters, discerning (possibly even picky) with a tight attention to detail and a love of slow meticulous learning and a skilled job done with a tight attention to detail.

These are trined, and by trined we can say flow incredibly easily with and mutually encourage the qualities of  Pluto in Capricorn, which brings to light and heals our relationships between personal power and responsibility within our institutions.  We become aware of the corruption we have allowed in our name and the suffering and pain we make when we fail to take responsibility for our governments, economic systems etc etc.  Difficult issues, but clearly these things may build off one another, and in the long run these are indeed "goods"

This is trined to Jupiter, our sense of hope, our philosophical and material expansion and the way our processes and projects progress, which is in Taurus which is about measured regular and steady.  Here Jupiter sets a dependable pace and provides a sense of security.  Which of course gives us the support for all that lovely Virgo craftsmanship, focus and attention (and trines back to our sun etc in Virgo creating what we astrologers would call a grand trine Earth). 

In addition to this lovely intellectual-physical bounty we are presented with what may at first feel like a bit of a difficulty Sun and Venus in Virgo opposing Chiron and Neptune in Pisces.  To make a long story short, our Pisces Aquarius cusp Neptune calls us to a very high spiritual ideal of transcendence and reform, while its conjunction to Chiron in this place creates a marriage between our spirituality and our sense of turning our own past pains into good for the world, the spiritual becomes personal the personal political and politics are called to be set aside for the social good.  These things clearly go together well, as One would assume that the Virgo Sun and Venus could set the plan and be the architect of those Aquarian-Pisces drives, and yet there can be a tendency to become impatient on the Pisces Aquarius side, wanting the ideal now, and a tendency to pick apart the ideals in terms of practicality by the Virgo... The trick here, allow the doing now part of you to do now, allow the desiring for the future to know that the doing now part is just making steps to get there, and let the getting there now part be happy with that and keeps it nose out of the grand vision, and both will be more at ease!

There may be surprisingly dramatic opportunities for surprisingly radical lessons, often involving rather sudden moves or life transformations often surrounding travel (or the appearance of travelers) in terms of changing our emotional love and sensitivities and how we think of attractions of all kinds. Pholos in Sagittarius Square to Moon Venus Conjunction in Virgo.

And finally a few Sextils:  Sextils are things that bear tremendous opportunity for growth between energies, but must be actively pursued.  The moon (our feelings and sensitivities) in Virgo, picky discerning attending to details but with a mind to care taking in a practical physical way trine to Mars  (aggression, motivation and how we go after things) in Cancer Reactive, protective and motivated supremely by issues of home and family.  Here our motivations can bring the emotional passion of the family and creating safe personal space to the emotional need to build a plan, and the new plan can nurture that force.

And finally:  This shall last a very long time but is worth bearing in mind:  Pluto in Capricorn Trined to Neptune and Chiron in Pisces (technically cusp of Aquarius, but the Aquarian aspect slowly fades while the Pisces builds).  Because all parties involved moved very slowly this is a potent them to keep an eye on and it is this:

The fore mentioned recognition of the power imbalances of our institutions and our tendencies to give up our personal responsibility, and therefore power, to them, as well as our personal responsibility for them, gives us a time when we may choose to profoundly redefine what the very meaning of our spirituality means and create new moments and movements and ways of viewing our lives capable of redefining how we relate to the big idea of what it means to be spirit, but perhaps more importantly what it means to be in this grand miraculous love affair of spirit and manifestation, order and chaos, Earth and Rain and Fire and Wind that we call incarnation, the fastest form of which we presume to call life (as if this universe is ever anything but alive)  How we may own our own power and responsibility to remake the idea of the institution to provide the kind compassionate scaffolding for a very personal human vision of reality and an expansive inclusive equality, embracing the rhythm of the earth and sky and the music of the spheres!

Meditation:
I am thankful for the harvest of focus and understanding.  I embrace the gifts of understanding.  I build a world of love and compassion with nurturing order and creative invigorating chaos.  I build a new house and I call it Love.
