There are many things that we often take for granted in the practical everyday actions and motions of our lives.
There are routines that we have come to expect to do each day, circumstances that we have grown accustomed to, and/or people that we have come to assume or expect will do certain things for us or behave or respond to us in certain ways. There are many activities and people in our everyday lives that we have come to expect and assume will be there for us.
This will be a time for us to awaken to the functions of all of these working parts in our lives and what they do for us…and what they don’t do for us.
That said, there will be many events over the next 12 days bringing questions forth about what works for you in and about your everyday life.
Does your life function well? When I ask that, I mean…
- Are you able to get your everyday needs met?
- Are the details of your day-to-day life being attended to and/or getting done?
- Are the various parts and aspects of your life in agreement and support of each other?
In other words, is your life working for you?
Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus are the Earth signs of the zodiac, dealing with all financial, material, and physical matters in regard to what we need to survive with comfort and ease (Taurus), what we need to have our lives function well on an everyday, practical level (Virgo), and what we need to feel fulfilled and accomplished in our lives (Capricorn).
Mercury enters Virgo late on Friday the 8th (at 10:59p PDT, to be exact). So from the 8th through the 16th (when Venus moves into Libra), the Sun, Mercury, and Venus will all be moving through Virgo. Along with Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn and Jupiter Retrograde in Taurus, there will be an intense focus on financial, material, and physical matters. With the Virgo Sun, this abundance of earth sign energy is focused on setting things on a healing, positive and productive course. And with Jupiter Retrograde moving through Taurus, it could bring very beneficial results for you later if you look to nurture the positive elements of your everyday life now.
Numerologically, this month is a universal 4 month, so we have 4 energy making is presence felt. 4 energy is about structure, stability, security, and making things solid. It is not easily adaptable to change.
The combination of the 4 numerological energy with the abundance of earth sign astrological energy leads to quite a bit of structure being put in place in this next 2-3 weeks. There will be choices made and boundaries drawn with the intention of creating a solid foundation for the changes that need to be made in your life…if you choose to make any. Any changes you make are likely to be made with the intention of healing (or “fixing”) your life – making it functional, making it work. Whatever you perceive as bad, unhealthy, or wrong for you and your life, you will be making choices about it all, even if it’s the choice not to choose anything at all.
Keep in mind, however, that just because you choose not to make any changes doesn’t mean that your life won’t change. In fact, your life may change simply because those around you may make choices and take actions to have changes occur. You may find that you must change, whether you like it or not, because your environment and the players in your environment are making changes.
This will be a reminder of a few things:
- “The only thing constant in life is change.” ~ François de la Rochefoucauld
- “All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players. They each have their exits and their entrances, and each one in their time plays many parts.” ~ William Shakespeare
- No matter how you may try, you will never truly control another person.
Some of us will be frustrated in making these changes because we won’t want to make them – we will be very tempted to maintain the status quo, likely out of convenience or comfort with our everyday routines. Some of us will be frustrated because we won’t be able to control others and keep them where they are or as they are. Others of us will be frustrated because we will meet heavy resistance to the changes we want to make because those around us don’t want us to change and grow or don’t want to support our growth or grow with us. And some of us may be frustrated as people in our lives leave us behind to move on and grow as we stay behind to hold on to what we know.
There will be a few of us, though, who will enjoy this period once we embrace what is really happening. We are being given a chance to set our agenda for the next phase of our journey. We are in position to choose what we will and won’t stand for, what we will and won’t tolerate, what we will and won’t be party to. This is a time of preparation for the changes coming as the season changes from summer to autumn. When the seeds we planted in the spring come ready for harvest over the next couple of weeks, we want to make sure our lives are working in ways that allow us to receive the fruits of our labors.
It may be a bumpy ride, but hang in there. The destination (the harvest) will be worth the ride. It’s always worth it to do the “work” we get to do on ourselves and make the changes we get to make to have our lives “working” for us.
Enjoy the week!
