What's The Modern Holy Trinity?
Welcome to Virgo Season! It starts strong with a New Moon in Virgo on Saturday morning, which I dive into at the end of this email.
For now, it's farewell to the Lion's playful energy. Drat!
Are you feeling it?! I am! I feel like Head Mistress Mello writing you now, not the Mello Astrologer. "No children, you can't have any Coconut Bliss until you've finished your tempeh stir fry!!"
In fairness to persnickety Virgo, the pinnacle of this sign's Spiritual Keynotes is one of life's most important lessons.
The Mind-Body-Spirit aren't just interconnected, they're interdependent — a Modern Holy Trinity.
Disease. Mental illness. Addiction. Unhealed trauma.
Virgo is having none of it!
She's simply discontent allowing an unhealthy Mind-Body-Spirit to run amuck with her life. (I mean, even science is showing that the Mind-Body are inextricably linked. Because duh.)
In Virgo's mind, it's just plain common sense:
Why suffer when there's for sure a psychologist, vitamin or mantra that can bring you back into alignment and healthy function?
There is a solution for all that ails. She's sure of it. And she won't stop until she finds the remedy. ALL the remedies, in fact!
Virgo Season comes with the un/welcome reminder that we need to pay conscientious attention to what (and who!) we put into our Bodies, Minds and Spirits.
This doesn't mean that we run ourselves into the ground in a quest for some kind of holistic perfection — just that we bring more awareness to the interdependence of the Body-Mind-Spirit.
So, bust out your favorite notepad or note-taking app and do some Virgo brainstorming on the subject.
Have you ever contemplated the Modern Holy Trinity? What does it mean to you?
"Spirit" is a term that can be a bit elusive. Is your Spirit the same as Spirit generally? Do you ever wonder if you have a healthy Spirit or think about ways of improving the health of your Spiritual life?
Have you compartmentalized the Modern Holy Trinity? Do you consider your Mind, Body and Spirit to be separate from one another rather than an interdependent system?
Do you have direct experience or knowledge that confirms that one cannot function optimally without the other?
How healthy are your Mind, Body and Spirit? Without judgment or criticism, is there an expression of dis-ease in your Holy Trinity?
If so, where? Can you bring more loving awareness or action to that area so that the entire system runs more optimally?
Admittedly, this is a tricky subject to explore, because we don't really have the right language for it.
But that's ok. When have we ever had exact language for Life's many mysteries?
The take-away here is that:
Virgo, quietly humble, can teach you everything you need to know about the Mind-Body-Spirit.
This Saturday's early morning New Moon at 1.17am PT won't just dish out a double-dose of Virgo's stimulating intellectual analyses — it may or may not come with a sucker-punch.
That's because Mars is making a challenging aspect over to the Sun and Moon. But he's also making a nice aspect over to friendly and diplomatic Mercury in Libra too, so it's anybody's guess really!
Because Mars rules over our vital energy and Gemini rules over our mental processes, your mind, mouth and emotions may be getting a big dose of energy — for better or worse.
Words — yours or others' — are gonna pack a punch, whether they're used for positive or negative impact.
So be discerning about the types of conversations you have and with whom — don't put yourself in a situation that may turn into a War of Words.
Friday evening to Saturday afternoon is a good time to set intentions under the New Moon energies. Here are a few prompts.
How do you want to think, speak and take action around your Life's Purpose and Passions?
Can you bring more awareness to the general tenor of your self-talk? Notice how your thoughts affect the health of your Mind-Body-Spirit.
Consider where your mind, your mouth and/or your actions are at odds with one another. Are you words and actions aligned?
Are you expressing your emotions and your emotional needs effectively and in a way that supports your Mind-Body-Spirit?
I just got a text from a client while finishing this digest. She asked the Gold Star question, "Girl. The last few days ... WTF is going on?!"
>> Are you feeling Mars's movement into Gemini too? Do you feel frenetic, agitated or irritable? Do you have an excess of mental energy that needs to be exercised (or exorcised?!). Got another question?
Write me back and let me knoooooow!! I love hearing from you.
Cheers to understanding yourself better!
P.S. The great benefit of Astrology is that it reflects your Soul's intentions. WTF is going on? I always got an answer for you.
