Moon Dances Into the Love Sign Libra & Sun Enters Virgo

Love is in the Air!
Every month when the Moon is in Libra we are reminded of our true nature which is unconditional love! I grant you, we are often far away from that state of consciousness because other sides and parts of us get triggered and come into the forefront of our inner and outer activities.

But this is the time of the month with the chance to tune into our connection with the divine spirit and find new ways to give love, compassion and understanding to others around us. If we want more love or a relationship in our life, we need to be the one who is grounded in love. We need to be the kind of person to attract the kind of relationship we yearn for into our life.

The Lunar Journey
Lunar is symbolizing your emotional perception of the world. Moon is the fastest moving planet in astrology and can give us awareness for our inner world! Knowing more about the actual Moon position can make us more self-conscious and give us choices because of that.

The main advantage I see in using astrology is to raise your consciousness and give you a more objective viewpoint. After the New Moon just a few days ago the Moon is returning its energy flow to getting fuller again.

The symbol for Libra, a scale, indicates Libras strong need for balance. Libras are very oriented toward other people and skillfully tuned into their needs and emotions. Their preference in relationships is for harmony and love; they are peacemakers. Others are drawn to them for their sociable charm. Putting together those qualities, they make wonderful psychologists and mediators, as well as friends and partners. Because they have the ability to see both sides of things, it can be difficult for them to make decisions. Their love of harmony and balance draws them to beauty in the arts and wherever else they can indulge their aesthetic sense.

Libra is the Home of Venus
Venus the goddess of love, harmony and beauty has enchanting gifts for us; she throws sparkling fairy dust over us to help us see the wonder and magic in our life, the willingness to have an open and vulnerable heart and some understanding for the other persons standpoint. With the Moon, the other feminine actor in astrology, once a month in Libra, we have a standing invitation for experiencing the world of love through the eyes of the goddess Venus.

Venus Quincunx Neptune
With the Venus having a quincunx with Neptune, the dreamer and wise one, there will be kindness of the heart available. Whatever planet and inner part of us Neptune is touching there is a softening, melting into a more connected place and the longing for a deeper inner connection with the divine. You could say the divine is beckoning us into who we really are.

Venus Uranus Trine
Another connection of Venus is happening, this time with the rebellious and independent spirit of Uranus. You will have to find a way to find your own autonomy and independence within the love. True love always lets the other be without conditions and rules. Imagine you could accept your partner like you accept your cat. You do not really expect your cat to change its nature, but often we do with our partner and friends.

Sun Enters Down to Earth Virgo
The Sun in astrology shows us our self identity, the inner place of strength we act from in our life. Sun is representing the inner and outer male figure. Sun is our self awareness and reflects consciousness guiding us towards choices and actions. With the Sun moving through the whole zodiac throughout the year, it gives us different mental perspectives onto life and guides our process of evolution as an individual and as whole humankind.

After the optimistic, inspiring, full of life force energy sign Leo, the Sun moves on into the earth bound Virgo with its more mental approach to life.

By September the summer Sun is fading, and crops are ready to be harvested. Virgos have none of the fiery dominance of their summer predecessor, the Lion. They are reserved people who do not boast about themselves or behave flamboyantly. They are quietly reliable, attending to the smallest details of any project in an organized way, making them good lawyers, doctors, and scientists. That trait can be carried to a fault when they fail to see the bigger picture. They are more intelligent and analytical than emotional, which serves them well in complex tasks but may prevent them from establishing deep relationships. Virgos are practical people, good with their hands, and combining those qualities with their attention to detail they could excel in professions as jewelers and dentists.

Virgos make great friends because you can count on them when you need them. You just do not want to tell them too much about your problems; they might jump on it and over analyze the situation trying to help you.

After the creative push we received from Leo now is the time for implementing those ideas and taking the proper steps. Remember we talked about those learning and evolving motions we are going through with the different signs following each other in the wheel of the zodiac. There is always a sense of expansion followed by contraction, a more inward mental focus followed by a more outward focus, a time of transformation followed by integration; this eternal rhythm of life keeps constantly unfolding.

Astrology and the Mysteries of Life
Following life through the lenses of astrology can be deeply satisfying. Not because you can foretell to some extent the potentiality of future or present; for me the most amazing gift of astrology is the sharpening of my inner and outer perception; finding my place in the big mystery of partaking in life on this planet, in this universe!

You can then use astrology as your personal guidance system to align yourself more consciously with the cosmic requirements of the moment and you can turn lemons into lemonade. Go with the flow! Every windsurfer in Hawaii can testify how much easier it is to go with the flow of the wave and how impossible to fight your way against it. Astrology is an open invitation to understand the universal actual flow and use it to your advantage for a fuller, more successful and joyful life.
