Virgo on the Cutting Edge
Virgos are born Sept 16-Oct 30
"Virgo" by Hiroko Sakai
The Virgo is part of the largest demographic of signs, with 46 days to reproduce, they are the most populous sign, the proletariat, the masses. They are the clay that revolutionaries, priests and politicians need to gain power. The Virgo needs to be kneaded--like bread they rise with yeast--they need to give themselves, body and soul, to their cathartic source, the invisible charge that wakes them up from being a frozen mannequin.
The Virgo is on the cutting edge of adaptation--the cutting edge of revolution. Thus she earns the name of Virgin--one with an ever-recurring ability to remake herself. But others can see this purification ritual as endless, pointless, and hurtful. The Virgo literally USES UP the energy in every relationship she has--she will never relent to obsession, her eye is always on SPICA, the brightest blue star in the sky, the navigator's friend. MORE

August 24-Oct 24:
MERCURY RETROGRADE in VIRGO
(INCLUDING THE SHADOW)
The first day of the shadow occurs before Mercury goes retrograde, when it first reaches the low-water mark, the degree it will reach at its furthest point of retreat, just before going direct. The other end of the shadow occurs after it goes direct, on the day that Mercury achieves the same degree as when it started its retrograde.
Ergo, Mercury goes into its shadow on Aug 28–at 6º Virgo, (Left). Mercury officially goes retro on Sept. 17, (2nd from left). Mercury reaches the furthest degree it will it will retrograde (before it goes direct) on Oct 11 (third from left)–and not return to its previous highest degree of 21º Virgo until Oct 24, when it is free of its shadow and good to go. (right).
The shadow is a more comprehensive look at Mercury retrograde, and gives you a fairer account of the meaning of the psychologically blinding and historically disturbing trompe l'oeil. Many people report that the treachery, deception or difficulties of Mercury retro is even more virulent during the shadow periods. MORE
The Bubble Bursts
China Leads the World into DEFLATION
"The current circumstances are not designed to increase your prosperity. The male leadership that has led us to this crisis will be humiliated. Prepare for a period that will deplete your material assets. Your generosity is likely to benefit the wrong people or be wasted in worthless endeavors." Stephanie Johnson, Solar Fire
One of the most interesting things about the capitalist crisis is that the stars don't view it as a bad thing. The collapse of the financial markets is often historically accompanied by positive planetary positions, as if the crisis also enlightens and purges the markets of their inherent distortions and insane greed. In previous economic collapses, it involves a favorable connection with Mercury, where our intellect punctures through the bubble, and truth is revealed. The losses are the prelude to revelation, and ultimately, freedom. What's bad for the banks is actually good for the Cosmos, and by design, our world. MORE
