Sun 26° Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces
DAILY DOSE—September 18, 2023:
Tonight the Virgo Sun reaches 26° and initiates its annual opposition with Neptune currently in Pisces. These two have been meeting this way since 2012, and won’t be done until 2026.
This is the axis of order & chaos, where we learn to find the sweet spot between working our butts off and trusting in the divine.
If you go too far either way you end up with too much sterility or too much chaos, so this is your annual reminder to “trust in god but tie up your camel”.
Where in your life do you need to work on strengthening your boundaries?
Where in life are you a control freak?
Let the yin and yang of this axis help you find healthy harmony inside of your own psyche.

VENUS DIRECT: chewing the fat of love
“why is the relationship house in ancient astrology also the house of open enemies?
why is marriage still, statistically, the most dangerous place in the world for a woman to be?
understanding the emotional history of humanity...
our secrets.
who decides what is fair in love and war?
what is the nature of emotional memory vs. mental memory?
what stories do you tell yourself?
which ones do you crystallize and which ones do you delete?
the venus-pluto archetype is vampiric. it is the, if I can’t have you no one else can energy. it is the type of passion that makes people believe there is no safety in sexual relationships. it is conditional love. it is about learning how to embrace the dangers of loving and being vulnerable.
i have always been an advocate for maintaining friendship with exes. for me I think it mostly comes down to I would never they rather be dead. i don’t like the delete button. it is a funny swamp to swim. i attract a lot of judgment for it that I find odd. who knows, I could be the incorrect one, but I refuse to think that the answer lies in learning how to love less…”

NEW MOON 21° VIRGO
DAILY DOSE—September 14, 2023:
what value do we place on intention in our lives?
i can “intention” all over the place and while i might be existing within a constructive mindset, how do i fill the gap between the idea and the action?
because undeniably a space exists there.
the diver walks to the edge of the springboard, visualizes the perfect execution, and then…
the complementarity of Virgo is that in order to actualize, we have to make the mess, we have to fail, we have to be hurt.
without these, we can’t clean, we can’t refine, we can’t heal.
it’s a wonderful moment to set the intention. commune with whatever cosmic energies you enjoy conceptualizing and ask for their support.
what we deem miraculous is often just our experience of fortuitousness occurring outside of our own volition. but the divine only speaks in miracles. do we listen?
and now also act. make it a verb. the planted seed is not only a thought. dear Virgo, you must also get your hands dirty.
where intention meets action is the origin of realization. it’s more than a willingness. be messy, be imperfect, take risks. it’s perhaps the only way to fully experience the fruits of what we’ve sown. or rather, were the process and the product ever separate?

La Leo Luna conjunct Venus & Juno
DAILY DOSE—September 11, 2023:
MOON, VENUS & JUNO join today at 13° Leo for a full-hearted celebration of love.
Venus is now out of her station degree and feeling good. The Moon & Juno speak to the emotional health of any long-term commitments, and their co-presence with Venus reminds us that all partnerships benefit from play & creativity.
Sometimes things can get sterile and stoic in life & love and this holy trifecta beams down golden honey-love into the chalice of our hearts and reminds us of the sacredness of love.
I saw them together in the pre-dawn sky this morning and they were so lovely!
Their square to Jupe Rx in Taurus reminds us that healthy hedonism is one of the great reasons we came to earth. Look around your life and take stock of all there is to give thanks for.
