"The world will never be happy until all men have the souls of artists –I mean when they take pleasure in their jobs.” –Auguste Rodin

Now that Mercury the messenger to the Gods (Archetypes in our collective unconscious) is direct, all projects on the back burner can move forward. It is easier to clear the dreamy cobwebs from your mind and focus action to get the results you desire. Open your mind to new ides, information and connections. Ask your Self “What is true success?” Not what others are doing, comparisons get us nowhere fast! What is valid and true success for you?

The Sun moves into Virgo today the creative, playful energy of the Sun in Leo is now ready to be grounded in workable Virgo. Virgo loves the details, focusing, fixing, organizing, and analyzing daily living. Yet, we do not want to loose sight of the vision, the big picture. An appreciation of the process helps us understand the operating principles of life; and workable skills that turn artistic dreams into the reality of craft. Back to school, back to business, and a time to find your Work with Passion! Where do you get your juice? A passion clue is that you are embarrassed to say it, hold fast, because that is the very sign that you are on track heading towards you desired destination.

Virgo the pure virgin rules the sixth house of health, work, and service, taking care of our four lower bodies (spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical) and work habits will be the emphasis for the next 30-day cycle. Where can you improve your health and work habits. Remember that challenges or illnesses bring an opportunity to transform Self, recreate Self and make the changes needed for growth. Resistance to change will cause physical, mental, and emotional breakdown. The goal is to be strong in body, mind, heart, and spirit.
“All of us are forced to meet challenges and emergencies many times during a lifetime. Thus, we have to make a move in some direction. Perhaps it will be forward, perhaps it will be backward, or perhaps we will fall flat on our faces. But, even if one falls flat occasionally, we shouldn’t become so discouraged that you refuse to make a move at all for fear of falling again. Such people become static, with no personal development at all. They are classified as mentally unstable, because they constantly avoid facing challenges and emergencies by retreating into a dream world of their own making.” –A Spiritual Approach to Astrology, Myrna Loftus

We must go deeper in Self to find our balance/wholeness. If we have insulated ourselves with external relationships, money, possessions, sex, and are living life from the outside in, pleasing others at the expense of Self; living in fear of rejection or disapproval of others. This will create a loss of identity, boredom, and no connection to who you really are. Remember who you are! And, never let anyone or anything take that from you. Sometimes we have to fight; a worthy battle is to take a stand for Self, and our wishes, dreams, and desires. This will often be met with the disapproval of others. Make friends with change. Make friends with transformation. Resistance to change is futile. Love Self more than the need for any relationship. Be in the driver seat of your life. Live by your ideals not the externals.

Indeed, we do need relationship to lean about Self, to give and receive love, and to have the abundant life is a reflection of a joyful spiritual being. However, our culture has taught us that once we get the external… the job, the car, the house, the relationship that life will be perfect, only to later find that the emptiness, the frustration has been temporarily sedated. I celebrate each person that has the courage to take the road less traveled; and discover Who you truly are. The only true way to heal the loneliness within is to loose Self in service to others, which can only happen when you find your work with passion, your dharma.
What is dharma you may ask? Every individual has a unique dharma (work, mission, distinct work purpose) a soul agreement before life between Your Twin Soul, You, and God. Until each person fulfills their dharma, we will return and return, reincarnate until our dharma contract is satisfied. What have you and your twin soul agreed to do? Where is your work with passion? What is your unique gift you promised humanity? Do not be resentful for the need to work or the type of work you may have to do for that is a step backward. Instead, direct your free time in projects or hobbies that your soul is drawn to, I have been an astrologer since I was a child. Astrology was one of my many passionate hobbies, until the last ten years when it grew into my full profession. I love helping people free themselves of their self-limiting beliefs, to get past their fears, self-imposed chains, and reach their fullest potential. Empowering people to shift beyond their negative relationships, dead-end jobs, and living locations, living authentically, from your core values, your true self is the only way to find your dharma.

Virgo rules service to others, service to the planet and Source. We must be willing to serve others; the deepest worth of an individual is revealed through his/her willingness to serve others. A truly great person is humble, because s/he knows deep within Self that all men and women were created equal.
Remember that ones state of health has a direct bearing on your ability to work. How do you handle conflict/crisis? Suffering is the catalyst to transformation of thoughts and actions. Eventually we learn to detach and are able to step aside in order to reevaluate what we have experienced. Detachment creates the necessary space needed for this reevaluation. Thus, the cycle of Virgo asks us to set aside our desire for ego-glorification, and come to terms with Self and our authentic needs. This often is shown to us through humiliation, fears, boredom or illness as life will always bring challenges. These challenges may be devastating, heart-wrenching experiences, or they can be illuminating and transformational taking you to a new level of Self, spirituality and peace. Each one of us must decide will I change/transform or choose the change called illness/death? Hence, I would much rather see people spend their money at the gym than at the doctors. Some Work with Passion questions to pursue:

What would you dare to dream if you knew you could not fail?
Where does courage dwell in me?
What are the major issues you are facing right now?
What is missing for you and what are you doing about it?
What is holding you back?
What is working for you?
Where do you get your energy/juice?
Is your current relationship an honest expression of your true Self?
What are you grateful for?
Where are you going?
What are you doing?
What is your point of brilliance?
Close your eyes, breath deeply, and visualize what your ideal work would be, what does that look like, feel like, what kind of day are you having, what kind of people are working with you, etc? If we can dream it, we can achieve it!
