During Virgo Season, things that we were letting slide have a tendency to become intolerable. And that's a really, really good thing because whatever is intolerable points the way to evolutionary growth.

The Full Moon on Tuesday, September 17, is in the sign of Pisces. The fish wants to surrender to the flow of life, most importantly, experiences that need to end or change in some way for the evolutionary process to continue. 

Virgo says, "Hey, something needs to change here, I'm freaking OUT." Pisces, the polarity, says, "Ya grrl, it's cool, we'll catch the next wave."

Add all these archetypes together and you've got something like this ...

Virgo Season can sometimes be experienced as a seemingly endless amount of chores and an influx of work and responsibility — especially after the fun-loving nature of Leo Season.

She's definitely more than capable of getting her house in order.

Still, even Virgo has to eat some humble pie on occasion and concede that she just can't do EVERYTHING all the time — especially if she's paying attention to the well-being of her Mind-Body-Spirit. 🥧

Virgo is the archetype of improving upon existing systems to create healthy function. It's unceasing in its desire to obtain an idealized perfection — whether that's a perfect body, a perfectly organized kitchen or a perfectly composed personality that never betrays weakness.

We all have Virgo somewhere in our chart. Often, it's where we're self-critical or feel a need to improve ...

As you may remember, both the Sun and Mercury retrograde are in the sign of the Lion, giving rise to reflection on how we perceive our own "razzle dazzle" and how we communicate our uniqueness to others.

Leo is also the sign of courage, leadership and following the heart. This archetype has an almost insatiable desire to be loved and can suffer from pangs of insecurity when out of alignment with his Life Purpose or creative potential. 🦁

And remember, each of us has ALL of the archetypes represented in our personal astrology. You don't have to be a Leo for the above to apply to you!

Mercury does Rx back into the sign of the Lion this evening. In total, he'll spend about six weeks in Leo — twice the usual amount of time.

Leo and Virgo energies are MUCH different! Where Leo is dynamic and dramatic, Virgo is mild-mannered and humble. Where Leo is passionate and romantic, Virgo is grounded and practical. ♌ ♍

When Mercury is Rx is in Leo, we may find ourselves reflecting on these exact themes, especially ...

How's Mercury retrograde (Rx) treating you this go-round? Over here, it's absolute BANANAS.

Car traumas troubles, miscommunications and bad news in the mail — just to name a quick few. 😵

Honestly, I just can't even.

I've been joking that even Shakespeare couldn't have written a comedy as poetic as the one this Mercury Rx has delivered to my door. 📕

As an astrologer, I know …

Leo is the archetype of courage. It's the brave and loyal heart that loves passionately.

I just LOVE that courage exists on the same spectrum as fear. You can't have courage where fear isn't also present! 💯

It's easy to overlook fear when focusing on someone's heroism, right? I mean, fear definitely has a repellent vibration, whether we're conscious of it or not.

Bravery on the other hand? It's magnetic, reassuring and even sexy! 😍

Yet, you can't have the courage without the terror!

Welcome to Leo Season! ♌ 🎉

Before I dive into what you can expect for Leo Season and how you can work with the Lion's energies, let's first do a quick overview of that big July 14 Mars-Uranus conjunction that I cautioned you about earlier this month.

The Moon is uber important in your astrology, because it's one of your Big 3 — one of the three most important elements of your horoscope. Generally, she reflects your mother and how you nurture and how you emote, especially with your intimate others.

So while Sun sign compatibility is important, I definitely feel that it's the Moon sign that reveals greatest compatibility. Knowing the Moon sign of your beloved, parents, children and best friends gives you keen insight into what they want and need to feel safe and nurtured so that you can cultivate more intimate and healthy relationships. 🌸

Mars and Uranus conjunct in Taurus on Monday, July 15 at 12.27am PT.

URANUS provides an amazing opportunity to break free from the mental and material webs that entangle us so that we can finally make a necessary change. 💥

MARS gives us the anger, the drive, the sheer power to move and act in one's best interest.

No more sitting around and moping or waiting for a change to happen to you. No more complaining without taking action.

Mars and Uranus in Taurus say: It's time to shatter what's become crystalized so that you can realign with your values and make progress toward your goals.

Under the New Moon in Cancer on Friday, July 5, 2024 at 3.57pm PT, you'll have the opportunity to start afresh when it comes to nurturing your body, home and emotion — to name only a few.

Energetic Mars is also in a happy aspect to hardworking Saturn. You'll have the drive and determination to attend to …

Have you ever noticed that life has a sort of momentum to it?

We get stuck doing what we've always done and behaving a certain way — whether only in our thinking or also in our actions. Sometimes we're aware that we would like the dynamic to shift. Other times, it's exhilarating or we don't even realize that we're being taken for a ride.

Tomorrow's the solstice, so we're finally saying farewell to Gemini Season! The summer solstice is always marked by the Sun's movement into the sign of Cancer. This year, that happens at 1.51pm PT on Thursday, June 20. ☀️

Evolutionary Astrology, like all western astrology, is based on the procession of the equinoxes. Meaning, the changing of the seasons is of symbolic importance, signifying that a new phases or cycle is being initiated — both collectively and personally…

Mars moved from his favored position in fiery Aries into stubborn and earthy Taurus last Saturday, June 8 at 9.34pm PT. 🔥

Mars is the planet of action, representing our vital life force energy, our sexual instincts and our ability to independently forge a path through life in pursuit of our desires. (Remember, I'm generalizing!)

So what does it mean that Mars is in Taurus? Why should you care? ♉

One word: Momentum.

Venus represents how we magnetize what we want into our lives — especially how we attract relationships and material wealth.

When Venus meets the Sun, her energy is accentuated. The Sun's power and magnitude engulfs and radiates her energies outward beyond her usual capacities. ☀️

What does this mean for your personal life? Keep reading!

This week, you'll definitely notice that we're firmly in Gemini Season, as we'll soon have four planets in this social air sign.

Most notable is that Messenger Mercury will aspect all three outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) in just a few short days as he moves from Taurus into Gemini (on Monday). ♉ ♊

A major shift of perspective is forthcoming, my friend!

The big event for this week is Jupiter's ingress (movement) into Gemini on Saturday, May 25 at 4.14pm PT. This transit happens only once every 12 years.

Learn more about what you can expect with Jupiter in Gemini …

In Gemini, an air sign, we’re getting a much bigger dose of active energy.

Unlike Taurus who enjoys her solitude, the Twins are social butterflies. When we're in an "air season," we're being called to come out of our cozy bubbles and re-engage with those around us and our community.

The need for socializing, learning or simply by being out and about is increased. Maybe you'll be taking a new class of some kind or you may already have more social dates and appointments on your calendar?

Whatever you've got planned, you'll likely find your interpersonal communication spiking — and enjoyably! 🍻

And speaking of communication…

This week in the Cosmos, it's "All-Taurus-All-Day!" We've got four planets in the sign of the Bull — the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus. 🐮🌸

And just last night, we had the New Moon in Taurus at 8.21pm PT, further emphasizing the sign.

Ruled by the planet Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, Taurus brings sensuality and harmony into the material world and how

we participate with or express ourselves in the world of form — those tangible things you can touch and hold and take pleasure or comfort in.

You can think of Taurus as "embodying Spirit."

That's this week's meditation:

Consider that not only is ALL of your life a manifestation of your own making — but in a reality that is not-too-distant from where you're standing right this very moment — it's not just amusing, but hysterically funny.

Like, howling with laughter, unable to breathe, funny.

The Cosmic Trickster reveals this Truth. But to catch it? Understand it? Transcend it in the waking state? You may as well be Wile E. trying to catch Road Runner.

Good luck my friend! 🐒
