Dropping the monkey mind !

The sign of Virgo has the reputation to be psycho-rigid, paying attention to details, feeding perfectionism, cultivating analysis and self criticism. When the sun (in Virgo) disappears, Is time to boost the other side of the sign by be aware of the lunar potential of the Virgo: matter of healing, providing services, developing perception instead of analysis, improving the art of writing...

As an earth sign , Virgo has its instinctive part which can be stimulated by the eclipse of the sun. The ascendant Taurus, another earth sign, can bring a zest of Venusian energy to this NM. Mercury, ruler of Virgo, stays in Libra, sign of Venus. In the meantime, Venus stays in Virgo, sign of Mercury. This aspect of interaction can easily mingle communication and creative expression or the will to give birth to an artistic project.

The monkey mind is a Buddhist concept that describes a state of restlessness, capriciousness, and lack of control in one's thoughts.

The opposition moon-Saturn R : the art of using the past !

The retrograde opposition between the Moon in Virgo and Saturn in Pisces can cause emotional instability, a tendency to gloom, and a difficulty to balance spontaneity and responsibility.Saturn R announces a return of the past, probably with old ghosts from a time we want to forget or an awareness opening to past lives throughout dreams.

The past can also been used as a tool to repair the tyres of our body awareness. Re-finding positive attitudes and happiness from our childhood or teen age time can be more than useful. Forgotten skills might come to surface, acting a liberation of blocked talents from our unconscious. (Pluto R, Black moon in Scorpio).

The fall equinox: connecting your senses with nature !

The word equinox comes from the Latin equi (equal) and nox (night).As the spring equinox in March signifies the ascent into the warmer days of summer, the autumn equinox marks the descent into the darker days of winterThe equinox is an opportunity for us to look to the natural world for guidance and comfort. The cyclical change in seasons allows us to look inwards at our own transformation and growth.

As the leaves fall from the branches, we learn to let go of what no longer serves us.

Quote of the new moon and the fall Equinox:

Within our very cells we carry genetic memories of ancestral incarnations. If we awaken these atavisms to conscious life, we can take on their attributes and qualities. These atavistic powers have been known for millennia as : animal totems, helping spirits, maybe even the Gods and Goddesses themselves !
