Daily Horoscope for Virgo Summary

It's a bit complicated today Moon-doggies... So work with me on this...

Today's energy is focused on reaching greater levels of balance within our lives... This has a lot to do with the North Node sitting on the cusp of Libra... This same energy makes our relationships with others extremely important at this time... The Node is a strong indicator of where fate & destiny is most likely to be played out in our lives.

Next we have Venus in the sign of Leo... That in itself is a beautiful placement... It's warm nurturing and comforting... Almost "Motherly" kind of energy in the way it expresses itself... But... (pointing to my butt)... When Venus is retrograde in the sign of Leo, it acts more like a spoiled brat child... (like Veruca in the Willy Wonka movie)... It has the vibe of "What is Mine is Mine... And what is Yours, I Want"... hehe... (gulp)...

Next on the list, we have Jupiter in the sign of Virgo... Jupiter in Virgo acts like an old skilled craftsman... It knows all the fine details of what to look for and what defines quality and value... So when Jupiter is in the sign of Virgo, it has a way of re-assigning the real value of items... If you were to remove all the "labels" from personal items (clothing etc)... Would you still buy the same brands?...

When we start to put all this energy together, a strong theme appears...

All of these placements in themselves are indicators of increased financial/material wealth and abundance... It all toggles and depends upon the "judgment" qualities of Venus & Jupiter... This is true in our personal interactions with others... But like I said, a retro Venus can be quite selfish... And Jupiter in Virgo doesn't buy into the "illusions" of status or "perceived value"... Both Jupiter & Venus are fairly "parental" in the way they do things too... They are both there to "teach us lessons"... And being fairly "parental" in their nature, neither planet wants or will tolerate others telling them what do to and how to do things.

Because of this rather bizarre kind of energy, you will see some strange behavior in the actions of those around you... It's has an "inner rebellious" quality to it... It's easy to see this energy in action with the effect it has upon the "global economies"...

So here we are at the end of the Shmittah 7 year cycle... Not only is this the end of the 7 year cycle, it's also the end of the 49 year cycle... (7 Shmittah cycles in a row)... That is considered to be the Year of Jubilee... That sounds like it has a party kind of vibe but in fact it's historically been the exact opposite... It's considered a time when the Big Spirit renders a spiritual judgments and often in financial ways.

With a pattern like this, I'd keep a very close eye on the financial markets for the next few months... This combination of planet energies makes it easy for the "spoiled child" effect to kick in and when things are not going the way THEY want them to, they may want to "pick up the ball and go home"... Or refuse to care or have concerns over what effect their actions can have upon others... Or... (the big one)... What happens if "the lenders" (Jupiter in Virgo) demand that the "borrowers" (Retro Venus in Leo) pay them the back what they are owed and have agreed upon?...

Yeah, as great as this chart is in terms of potential, what really matters is how each of us put that potential to use in our own lives... Saturn on the cusp of Sagittarius... Perhaps the most parental of all the planets would sound like my Dad when we were kids and raising hell inside the house on a rainy day... He's say "You guys better knock it off before someone gets hurt"... When I see this chart, that's the warning voice I'm hearing.

Keep the Faith... Better Days and Higher Love are comin' soon...
