Happy birthday Virgo!
August 24, 2008 Astrology, Monthly Horoscopes 1 Comment DonateJust to say before you read your sign readings, that if you look at the evening sky through the winter months you will see Mercury, Venus and Saturn in the Western horizon, setting after the Sun. They shine so beautifully and give us the experience that the ancient priest-kings had when they began to note down their stellar observations thousands of years ago.
That is, of course, provided you have clear skies. Here in Scotland we have had cloudy skies for nearly 2 years now - I have seen the Moon about half a dozen times in the last 2 years - so I certainly can’t see the wonder of the planets setting.
Happy Birthday Virgo
I imagine that Virgos have been feeling pretty hard done by since last summer (2007) with Saturn, the planet of structure and reality checks entering your sign for his 30 month visit. Earthy Virgo is THE sign of perfectionism and minimalism and you can feel quite happy with some reality - however, there does come a point when it all gets a bit in your face.
So for early Virgos ( 23 August - 5th September) who have been going through it all over the last 9 months - throwing out the old stuff and not quite sure where you’re heading - that’s all rather perfect for you, really. And, happily it’s over for another thirty years or so. Now it’s a new fresh start that you can begin to put in place. It is often suggested that this transit (passage) of Saturn over the Sun can signal a period of greatest success - but it is hard won - and totally your own making. So congratulations!
For mid-Virgos (5th - 15th September) this year is a real roller coaster ride. Saturn is making demands that you seriously look at the things that no longer serve your long term goals and start the process of letting them go. You may not wish to throw them out completely yet, but you will have done that by next August, 09. And then a brand new thirty year cycle will begin - a bit like being reborn, I guess.
