From August 22 - September 22 the Sun walks through the mountainous lands of Virgo. In the agricultural cycle on which Astrology is based, this is the time in the year we harvest what we have planted in the spring. Of course, the sawing of seeds in the spring includes besides fruits, vegetable and trees also thoughts, actions, and feelings. If you live around farms or talk to your local farmer at the Framer’s Market, they will assert that this is indeed the busy time of harvest. The harvest include, many seasonal vegetables, fruits and…yes, your Karma as well. Whatever a (wo)man sows so shall (s)he also reap…
On the next Full Moon, September 4th, the forces of harvest will come to an accumulation. This upcoming Full Moon is very powerful and represents a time you can get rewarded for past action. This coming weekend is a great time to look back at what you did, thought, said, wrote and felt in the spring and in what way are these actions are connected to what is happening now. Remember, Mary (Mother Mary – the Virgin) had a little lamb (lamb=Aries the sign of spring)…
My astrological philosophy is that we are not passive recipient of the influence of the planets and stars. While it is true that they are luminary guides, they do not dictate our fate. They bring us to junctions but we chose the path. Now, that the Sun is in Virgo, by becoming a Virgo yourself, you can have the Sun shine upon you for the next few weeks. By assuming the traits, dressing with the qualities and teachings of Virgo, you can achieve more flow and success in your life.

How to Get Along with Virgos
- Cross all the t’s and dot all the i’s. Then choose your words wisely, as if they were a scarce resource. If you send an email, spell-check twice.
- Ask Virgos for advice. If they refuse and claim that they’re no expert (though they probably are), tell them that you value their insight anyway.
- Be clean and tidy. Dress up to code, appropriate to the occasion. They don’t really approve of a casual or sloppy style.
- When Virgos shift into argument mode, gently change the subject. It is hard to keep up with their logic and thoroughness. You can’t win an argument with a Virgo.
- They love dining but prefer not to spend too much money on themselves. When you go out, select restaurants that are delicious but inexpensive.
- Don’t get upset if Virgos are stingy with compliments. But if you ever do receive a compliment from a Virgo, then you will know that you really deserve it.
- Help Virgos serve and be useful. That is all they want.
Your Virgo Checklist
- Purify yourself for a week: no alcohol, fried foods, white bread, white sugar, coffee, or sweets.
- Speak the Virgo affirmation twice a day: “I am dedicated to serving humanity and to God’s will. I am purified and healthy, and I am thankful to my body for helping me to manifest my potential.”
- Wear yellow-green or a combination of yellow and green.
- Practice saying “no” as well as setting healthy boundaries.
- If you can, travel for one night to a remote place without your cell phone, books, or computers. Try to feel what it’s like to live as a nun or monk for a day.
- Do something of service behind the scenes.
