#121 August 1-7: Mercury in Virgo
Ingrid has overcommitted and is feeling that frantic energy. Good thing Mercury moves into Virgo this week, so hopefully she, along with the rest of us, can all get a bit more organized. Relationships are another major theme of the week, as the Sun in Leo urges you to open your heart, and Mars in Taurus drives you towards protecting your self-worth. Venus in Cancer brings reflection towards the origins of your relationships. Use the current frequencies to create the structure necessary to support you in your health, diet, and daily routine.
The themes this week are…
1. Efficiency
2. Self-worth
3. Sovereignty
This week begins where last week concluded, with Mars, Uranus, and the North Node creating as one of my clients put it, “a kerfuffle in Taurus”. This “kerfuffle” is urging you to establish your self-worth.
The Sun and Mercury in Leo are urging you to open your heart and claim your sovereignty.
Mercury moves into Virgo, creating an opportunity to organize your heart’s desire into efficient systems turns your joy into sustainable work.
Venus finishes out the last legs of its stay in Cancer, urging you to look at the roots of your relationships, and encouraging you to nurture the ones you love.
If you would like to know how the following transits are affecting you directly, and how to navigate them to the best of your benefit, contact me for a reading. My purpose is to help you understand, accept, appreciate and love the divine, unique miracle that is you.
Wishing you all the best in your journey through the week ahead, and I hope to work with you soon!
