VIRGO SEASON

(Aug 23- Sep 22)

Happy birthday, Virgo! It’s your time to shine this month.

You are a mutable, earth sign—methodical, industrious, and kind. Virgos show their affinity to their sign’s symbol of the Virgin by loving all that is natural. You pride yourself on being self-sufficient and will appear self-contained. With a powerful sense of responsibility, you want to be of service and have that contribution recognized. Virgos have exacting standards, and producing anything less will result in a feeling of dissatisfaction. Fears of underperformance can create nervousness and stress. You have an intense curiosity with a keen eye for detail. With a love for research, you can apply yourself to analytic work, but you may struggle to grasp the larger perspective.

As an earth sign, Virgos are tuned into the body and are interested in health. However, combined with the intense involvement of the Virgo mind, it’s important to make sure a balanced approach is utilized, so that hypochondria doesn’t result. In general, Virgos tend to fret and worry over things, and they might benefit from letting go more often.

Virgo is happiest when they find something that interests them and then mastering it. You take pride in the little things. You are self-effacing and self-critical. You love feeling acknowledged and appreciated for your abilities and contributions. Virgos are valued and respected for their exemplary powers of observation, research skills, loyalty, and willingness to get involved.

Symbol:

Your symbol is the virgin. In mythology, Virgo is portrayed as the virginal maiden often associated with fertility and the harvest. Seldom celibate, Virgos approach to life might be considered virginal in nature.

Ruler:

Your ruler is Mercury.

Mercury is associated with how we think and communicate.

Virgo uses the energy of Mercury to work and serve others. Virgo can expertly gather information, discriminate what is useful, and create practical solutions to problems when others can’t. These abilities help to create and order a perfect life, which is important to you.

ARIES SEASON!

(Mar. 21- Apr. 19)

Happy birthday Aries! It’s your turn to shine this month.

You are a cardinal, fire sign— passionate, independent, and competitive. Aries know themselves and have a strong sense of self-worth. Leadership comes naturally. Possessing personal magnetism, you often attract others to projects and causes without much effort. Many Aries are physically active incorporating sports into their lives.

As the first sign in the zodiac, Aries are newborns in a sense. Interestingly, Aries retain their youthful nature even as they age. Often more trusting or naïve than others, you will also tend to forgive quickly.

Aries are known for being adventurous, outgoing, and daringly bold. The negative side of Aries can be a reckless impulsiveness where consequences are not thought out or considered. There may also be a tendency to commit too fast to projects and not finish what is started.

Symbol:

Your symbol is the ram with large, curved horns. The ram represents Aries unyielding determination.

Ruler:

Your ruler is Mars. Mars was the Roman god of war. Mars is also associated with virility and fertility.

Mar’s energy is masculine and is associated with the physical. Aries tends toward impulsiveness. You hold strong opinions, crave adventure, and love competition.

Is 2024 Your Year?

EVOLUTIONARY ASTROLOGY

Evolutionary Astrology is where the past becomes a steppingstone, not a millstone.

So, what is it exactly?

Many seekers over millennia have sought out and used the tools of astrology. In modern times, a birth chart reading provides insight into the personality or psychology of the individual. But behind that chart lies another chart, hidden from all but the most ardent of explorers. This is what evolutionary astrology endeavors to parse, the blending of the psychological with the metaphysical to produce a kind of elevated psychology. Perhaps this could be viewed as a sacred level of psychology–the psychology of our evolving consciousness.

Whether as a literal reality or metaphor, evolutionary astrology uses the idea that we have all lived before. Through those lives, we faced lessons and challenges. We learned and grew, and we continue to confront challenges in this incarnation. This is an astrology that honors the individual and individual difference. As a sacred esoteric tool, it empowers each one of us with the free will of choice. Throughout life, an individual makes choices amongst a vast field of archetypal astrological possibilities and always an individual retains free will. We evolve through incarnations based on our choices.

What evolves lifetime to lifetime is consciousness. Exploring the evolutionary chart will reveal past-life situations and dynamics but the focus of evolutionary astrology is to evolve consciousness through understanding, healing, and releasing. The seeker enters the realm of the sacred—the deep, the mystical, the past. Together, astrologer and client go in search of pattern and archetype. We uncover triumph and failure revealing both treasure and wound.

It is important to remember that this analysis employs a symbolic system and is not literal. It is not possible to tell if someone lived in the 14^th Cent. Florence or fought in the Boer War. The chart will not reveal personal past-life connections to people in our current lives. These areas may be best explored with psychics or mediums. An analysis using evolutionary astrology will uncover situations and experiences an individual has likely faced many times in the past and these are the issues that are active in this incarnation. The proof of evolutionary astrology is borne out by the presence of these issues in one’s life today.

The Christmas Blog- Reflection

My son asked whether I thought Christmas was a religious or secular holiday. I knew where my atheist son was going with this. I cut him off saying I thought it could be anything you wanted it to be. And I do stand by that. I fully recognize that many celebrate Christmas as the birth of a savior. Most of them quietly worship in their churches, but others are a bit more vocal like a neighbor who posted a sign about putting the Christ back in Christmas (the sign courtesy of the Knights of Columbus). I grew up with the more secular version of Christmas focused on goodwill and gift-giving.

One of the big differences between being in Belgium and being back in the US, is that the US really does get into its holidays, religious or secular. If you didn’t have a calendar to point out the holidays in Brussels, you would never know there was a holiday since there were no overt external signs of any. But here, I walk the dog around the neighborhood every day and I see the Christmas decorations. More decorations on my street than in the entire city of Brussels. I love it! Individuals dedicate time, effort, and money to do this. And I love it! Trivial? Waste of time? Effort? Money? Maybe…

The last few days I’ve been paying attention to the kind of decorations that predominate. How do my neighbors view this holiday- religious or secular? Do the decorations tell a story? I probably pass sixty or more houses on my daily circuit and only three have overt religious items (2 nativities and 1 cross). The rest are predominantly lights, garlands, wreaths, reindeer, snowmen, and assorted popular blow-up characters. And Disney characters and flying pigs aside (yes, someone has one and there is a dragon too!), I do wonder if all this decorating has much to do with the Christmas story at all.

Perhaps, it’s all about the time of year. A time when nature hides, dies back, goes dormant. When we as humans are denied visual stimulation through color and form. In the starkness and stillness that is winter, we are called inside to quiet. And that call can be frightening, unsettling. And yet, it calls from the unconscious. To counter this we become busy and decorate the things around us as comfort to get us through the dark, cold winter. We bring trees and stars inside. The macrocosm calling to the microcosm, stop hiding, be still, wake.
