Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Sun moves into Virgo Soon! Dear Friends: Enjoy this farily long article on Virgo ness which is very important since right now there are 3 and on Sept. 16th then 4 planets will all be in Virgo! Mark Kincaid Sun Moves Into Virgo Dear Friends: Big changes on the very near horizon for all of us. Soon, on September 16th, the Sun moves into Virgo for its next Month of Transits. This will be quite a shift from this last month of the Sun in Leo. Sun in Virgo can be good, only its nature and situation is different. For this next month, find the #6, or the Virgo in your chart. If you have a Sagittarius rising, that’s the #9, or 9th sign of the Zodiac. Virgo is the 6th one, so counting backwards,…you’ll find Virgo, in your 10th house if you have that Sagittarius rising. Virgo is the only sign in the Zodiac that expressly, seeks Perfection! As a result it represents the perfect time to put more attention on that which is ideal, or perfect. Therefore this is potentially a very great period coming up! Only its nature as well as purpose is very uniquely different. Virgo’s Benefic Nature: First let’s focus on the positive side of Virgo, and the positive opportunities of this next Month of transits. Then we’ll go into the negative side which will be good to know especially if you or anyone you come into contact with is under any of the spells of the negative side. First of all let’s talk about that positive, spiritual side to Virgo! As we said before: Virgo Seeks Perfection! But where is perfection? Certainly not out here? The World, the environment, our rooms, our offices….everywhere is constantly changing, raining, messy, dirty, full of ups and downs. So how can this all be perfect? Virgo Perfection does exis, but only on the inside, in our inner most personal, consciousness, or soul nature. Deep inside,….deep inside of everyone is a field of Consciousness, that’s unbounded in nature,…infinite,…smart!, all possibilities, and full of Perfect Wisdom… That field, we call the Unified Field, or God by religious people, is the only true perfection in life. Therefore to find Perfection is not to try and become more perfect, out here but to find or to experience, and to BE perfection inside. The key then, for finding perfection lies in the unfoldment or experience of that perfect, unbounded field. Meditation, then, is the perfect procedure for finding and stabilizing oneself in Perfection. By turning the mind inwards…and learning how to allow the mind to experience quieter and quieter stages of the thought process…. The mind arrives at the door of the Absolute… Deep inside every person’s brain or mind, is the source of thought. From where all our thoughts come, a literal, inexhaustible source of energy and intelligence that’s the real source of all thinking. So we take a thought, call it a mantra, doesn’t matter, and then think that thought in such a way that the mind turns inwards…and the mind can be found moving towards its source in a completely wonderful, effortless and even blissful fashion! In my experience, and I’ve been meditating now for over 35 years! wow…it feels soooo good to say that…. I’ve noticed each day and each month that flies by more and more inner silence, happiness and bliss resulting. Then when I added the study of Jyotish or Astrology to that experience of meditation I noticed a remarkable improvement on top of that! Meditation is like personal experience and a very important development of consciousness. Jyotish or Astrology, on the other hand, represents the Knowledge all about it! And together they make an invincible combination. One great Vedic scholar has said: “Knowledge is the greatest purifier!” I was very surprised by this because I always thought that Consciousness development would be the best purifier! But, Knowledge, and Jyotish or the Philosophy of Astrology; I realize is true Pure Knowledge! Just understanding your chart better can itself have the most profound influence upon you. Like that, we’re contemplating all about Virgo. As you digest these ideas, they will thrill your Being. As you continue vibrating with them, especially during the up-coming Month because of all the Planets simultaneously moving through Virgo; you’ll feel a tremendous growth of purity. Now, back to the pure Knowledge. My Guru used to say: “We don’t seek perfection in the World. It only exists in the Absolute.” I heard this way before Jyotish and even way back then, I noticed this expression changed me. Then, later when I studied my Astrology, and discovered I had my Moon in Virgo, this made complete sense to me. That Knowledge of the Wisdom of Virgo,…”don’t seek it in the world, but in the absolute…” made a lot of sense to me. And, made a difference in my life even though I didn’t quite understand it. So, then when I started studying Astrology and all about Virgo, I realized I needed some greater wisdom as to my Moon & Saturn both in Virgo. See, the Virgo in our charts is all about our seeking’s for Perfection. Where we have the Sun and Moon in Virgo or even Jupiter we may have a part of us that wants to be perfect, but we don’t know how. So, if we learn to search for Virgo in the only place where it can be truly found; then the purpose of Virgo can be fulfilled! When I first realized this, and then went into meditation with the intrinsic purpose for finding perfection then the Virgo angst or lessons I had began to shift. I even began to feel some sense of real, personal satisfaction and fulfillment because I was finally looking for Virgo perfection in the right place. When I was younger I remember my friends coming up to me in school. I’d immediately grab their shirts and straighten their clothes and say: “Hey!,…who dressed you this morning!” Of course from my side, I was trying to help. Like a Mother, my Moon in Virgo wanted only to help! But, Moon in Virgo helps through seeing the faults. Ahhh, this isn’t perfect, this isn’t perfect, so we try to straighten things out! But, no amount of straightening will really get to the essence here. In fact my friends used to say: “Stop it,…who are you, my Mother!” I should have known. Virgo does have some good relative values, however. For example because Virgo is so intent on finding the perfection, it’s very aware of details. Virgo is ruled by the Mercury intellect so people generally with Virgo planets have good, strong Virgo traits. I was always good at certain detailed things, and when I learned Virgo I found it was my Moon that could study all the amazing details of Astrology. However, the negatives of Virgo are even more obvious. Virgo’s Negative of Malefic Nature: For example most of people’s experiences with Virgo is of a slightly negative or malefic quality. The lesson to learn of Virgo, is not to seek perfection in the World. And the way it does this is by giving back the consequences of where we’ve been doing it that way. So for example if the Sun is in Virgo, like my Father, the lesson can be to not be so judgmental. He always felt we weren’t doing it quite right, or good enough, and that opinion of his, and critical ness came through very often. Then there’s the Moon in Virgo which we discussed earlier. The Moon in Virgo, feels so the spontaneously that giving, or motherly side but of a Virgo quality. So, Moon/Virgo’s feel critical both upon themselves as well as others. The solution is simply to stop being that way! We can transform it, to transmute it, evolve it to the right Virgo perfection but the bottom line is we need to stop that habit. I’ve found this a lot easier then it may sound. Because it’s just as easy to appreciate as it is to criticize. So, instead of seeing the fault I make some small effort to have the first thing out of my mouth be: “Hey how ya doing! You look great!” Be genuine; find the silver lining, the gold tooth…whatever…something positive and uplifting…and you’ll notice that immediately a vibration of cool, up-liftment thrills the air. Then, as the habit of seeing the good, replaces the habit of seeing the bad, not only will you feel better but your environment will react better to you. Other Virgo planets that tend to be of a malefic flavor include Venus, Mars & Saturn. For the Venus in Virgo person or transit Venus is unhappy in Virgo because being an intellectual sign, ruled by Mercury, or intellect, Venus there is like the heart that tries to find the reasons for love! There is that old expression: “the heart knows no reason”, So, if we’ve got Venus in Virgo, even though it’s said: “the heart knows no reason”, still, Venus in Virgo gives us heart ache and criticalness in heart relations to show us to not be analytic or critical in terms of love or relationships. Then there’s the Mars in Virgo situation. Being who are either too self-critical, critical of others or seeing the fault in Virgo all of these qualities are jacked up a number of notches! Mars in Virgo therefore, represents a Marish aggressiveness which is unique to Mars and Virgo. Not only is the person or transit intensely Virgoish, but the unique flavor of Mars bring an intensity of Virgo ness that’s unique only to Mars. Again, the solution is to stop being that way. Virgo purely seeks perfection and where the habit has been to try and find perfection in the World, then various malefic Virgo situations get created. Finally there’s the situation when Saturn is in Virgo. Saturn, because it represents ‘lessons’ means lessons of too much Virgo when Saturn’s there. The solution of course, is to transmute or refine Virgo ness. Either go towards the light by finding true perfection, or transform the habit of being so Virgoish. Personally I found my Virgo spur was finally fulfilled when I cognized and then experienced perfection on the inside. Now, the Virgo is there. It does have some unique human healthy characteristics, but predominantly I don’t allow it to get too anal! So, consider all this when we think of all the Planets rushing onto Virgo now. Every year of course, the Sun and most of the Planets go into and through Virgo. At these different times, the relative lessons of Virgo ness are going to be coming to us during these times. Last year Jupiter went through Virgo. People who have Jupiter in Virgo have a detailed or Virgo spirituality that’s unique to Jupiter in Virgo. Now, this year we’re in a situation where right now, already 3 planets are in Virgo. Right now, we’ve got Mercury, Mars & Ketu all in Virgo. Mars is at the 10th degree, and Mercury’s at the 8th degree and Ketu’s at the 1st degree. Oh yes, forgot to mention that there is one planet that loves being in Virgo! And that’s Mercury! Mercury in fact, is said to be Exalted or in its best possible place in Virgo. This means that those who have Mercury in Virgo in their charts have very good intellects which is what Mercury represents. Sometimes however, I’ve met people with Mercury/Virgo, who are enjoying the benefits, but do struggle still with some of the negative sides of Virgo, only because that Virgo nature is so strong. But, because their Mercury’s are so healthy in Virgo, with a short amount of Astrological ‘tweaking’ any shadow of difficulty is easily balanced. In Conclusion: Therefore there’s an intense mixture of Virgoness going on right now, that’s both uniquely positive and good and some that’s negative and we should be cautious of. So, Mercury in Virgo, being mostly good, therefore will give a predictably good amount of clarity of mind, and ability of clear and precise expressions right now. However, that Mars in Virgo is especially troublesome, also because it’s so close in degrees to where Mercury is. Because they’re only 2 degrees apart right now, many people will just feel spontaneously that Marish Virgo quality and that will zap right into the Exalted Intellect. So, even though you may feel “right”,…right now, don’t be too pushy or aggressive about having to point it out to especially others. Now, soon, the Sun will enter into the big, Virgo mix. In fact, in 2 days the Sun will move into Virgo on September 16th. Then, we’ll have Mars, Mercury, Ketu & Sun all in Virgo. So, if you have any challenges with Virgo in your own chart; this may be an especially challenging time for you. The unique characteristics of Sun in Virgo will be that the soul or ego feels that Virgo ness. So, resist being too judgmental. Instead use this Sun-soul time to seek perfection where it really resides; on the inside. And as you touch the soul of Heaven….in the inner graces of pure silence, notice that the search for perfection finally can be fulfilled. These next 4 weeks then as the Sun and all the planets go through Virgo; this will be the time and karma where both positive and negative lessons of Virgo will crop up! If you get criticized, don’t over-react with a typical Virgo retort. Instead, inside say: “Thank you for this karma, and try and stay centered and appreciative. This Virgo ness trait will continue until September 22nd when even the Moon joins the Virgo pool! On that day and even Sept. 23rd, the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Ketu will all be there! What a fascinating 2 days that will be. Fortunately the Moon moves fairly quickly and will be through and into Libra on Then on Sept. 25th…the Moon will narrowly escape even as Venus plunges into the Virgo malaise. What an interesting next couple weeks we’ll be having. Sun, Mercury, Mars, Ketu, and now Venus. This last planet, Virgo will probably feel the worse because the heart feels so uncomfortable in the dryness of Virgo. Karmas of Virgo are coming up! Good Astrological exercise in seeing the dangers and doing whatever we need to avoid them. You’ll notice a lot of people around you will not get why they’re feeling irritable or overly critical. So tell them! Give them the blessings of Astrology’s predictive and curative features! They’ll thank you for this! Sincerely, Mark Kincaid PS… join me in the absolute, silent cave of pure silence and delight,…during these next few weeks. Normally even one planet going into my 12th house Virgo makes me feel inward! You may see me disappear over these next few weeks! If you don’t hear from me for awhile, this is why! Hehe From previous Transit Newsletter: 12) Next New Moon September 23rd! What an intense day this will be. All these planets will be in Virgo together! Sun (5th degree) Moon (5), Ketu (1), Mars (15), and Mercury (21st) degrees! All in Virgo! Wow! Intense Virgo ness going on! 3,4 & then 5 Planets all in Virgo, Soon! 9/14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
