Sign of the Zodiac, depicted in the form of jewelry. Stock Photo - 8673487

The qualities of Virgo encourage her to be steady and sensible yet flexible when the need arises…

Virgo sees detail everywhere, all those little things that are so incredibly important the smooth running of a home or a business, Virgo is onto them… However, because she craves perfection she can be overly critical not only of others but of herself too… this can push Virgo’s to work harder and longer then some of the other signs, but may also create upset as nothing may seem good enough… 

Happy to help and assist others, Virgo people are happiest when they feel needed and are kept busy, they have a fabulous down to earth, logical outlook on life and can put things in perspective for others… Great at trouble shooting..

Virgo’s love to keep lists and they need organization somewhere in their life to help them feel balanced.

Personal hygiene may be important along with an interest in health.

Virgo’s are advised to watch for a tendency to worry, especially over health issues, or for a tendency to make mountains out of mole hills. 

Many Virgo’s can be found working in the health field. 

Happy Birthday to Dayle, Cal, Dezi and to David and Beanie who are Virgo/Libra cusps… ☺

Mercury Retrograde June 7 2014 to July 1 2014

Mercury Retrograde… we hear and see this quite a bit in and out of the astrology world…. and sometimes Mercury gets a bad wrap when he goes retro… but it’s not all bad.. :)  When Mercury goes retrograde it would appear from our Earth’s prospective that Mercury is moving backwards….. hmmm no wonder he can cause some confusion…  Yet, if we can “respect” Mercury while he is in this position by applying the “rules” that fit with this circumstance, we can come out of this period with a smile instead of a frown… :) 

The “rules” are as follows… 

  • Pay attention to and do as many things possible with the two letters RE in front of the word… for example… REnovate: REdocorate: REdo: REcreate: REnew: 
  • Try not to begin any new projects: 
  • Might not be a good time to start a new relationship
  • May be a good time to renew a relationship (depending on personal chart data)
  • Try not to sign important documents. Exception renewing a mortgage, but be very careful about the small print. 
  • If you need to sign important papers, make sure you understand everything, if you don’t ask questions. 
  • Mistakes in communications and messages are highly likely during this period, so read and REread before you sign or commit. 
  • Expect delays in communications or in getting your questions answered. 
  • Expect misunderstandings in communications
  • Have patience when communicating
  • Have patience when waiting for a reply or an answer
  • New plans made during this time may not work out as planned or may need to be REdone at a later date

New Moon in Gemini May 28 & Venus Moves into Taurus: Mercury Moves into Cancer May 29 2014

SGC Admin:

This new moon sees additional factors as Venus moves into the sign of Taurus later in the evening., and Mercury moves into the sign of Cancer tomorrow (May 29 2014).

Venus is comfortable in Taurus as she rules this sign, and she may encourage some of us to spend more or indulge ourselves in luxury, be it food, wine or material possessions..

As Taurus rules the 2nd house relating to finances, they may be some conflicting thoughts/actions regarding our spending habits.

A happy balance between spending and saving is recommended at all times, but especially now. 

Mercury moves into the sign of Cancer on May 29 2014 in the early hours of the morning.

Mercury the planet of communication may “incite” the sensitive Cancer to biting remarks when she feels threatened, however, the remarks may also be cleverly disguised so the recipient isn’t quite sure if they heard right. It is suggested we take with our words and be aware of our feelings, making sure we aren’t over doing it before coming to conclusions. :)

Sun sign in Gemini: 

Gemini is one of the dual signs of the zodiac, multi faceted, multi task orientated, and sometimes close friends and relatives would say multi person…. :) 

Gemini is an air sign, ruled by the planet of communication Mercury, it’s easy to understand why some Gemini’s either have the gift of the gab or are at the very least chatty.

It’s not unusual to find a Gemini doing more than one thing at once, having two-part time jobs or signing up for all kinds of things.. The reason is because they have to keep busy, oh, don’t get me wrong they do have their lazy days, but for the most part they need to have plans, be making plans or doing something….

And while their airy nature allows them to be easy-going and flexible for most of the time, don’t be surprised when they tell you no, when they don’t want to do something they won’t it’s that simple. :) 

Thanks for your enjoyment of life Gemini, for your ability to get lots done in a little bit of time and your ability to move along with the flow of life… :)

You Aries folk are what get us all going… ready to explore and move mountains… well for a little while at least… Even though you guys and gals are full of vim and vigour you aren’t really the kind to stick around to the see the completion of your pioneering projects thanks to your lack of patience… You can get bored easily and the next interesting thing/person that comes along can perk up your ears encouraging you to find out more….. You are fun to be around and many may wish they were more like you, but you can have your awkward moments when you forget about the feelings of others as Aries puts your own needs first…. Having a partner that understands this is important, but you need to slow down enough so that he/she can explain to you when you have done “wrong” …  You are the beginning of the Zodiac and as such you are like the child who needs a constant gentle reminder to slow down… :)

And…. March 20/21 is traditionally known as Ostara in the Pagan and Wiccan belief systems… In my reference book it shows Ostara as being today, (March 20 2014) but I am not absolutely sure as on-line it is stated as March 21 2014… Any confirmation on this years date would be greatly appreciated…. :)

Please view the following information on Ostara from About.comPaganism / Wicca

The word Ostara is just one of the names applied to the celebration of the spring equinox on March 21. The Venerable Bede said the origin of the word is actually from Eostre, a Germanic goddess of spring. Of course, it’s also the same time as the Christian Easter (Unless Easter falls in April as it does this year) celebration, and in the Jewish faith, Passover (This year begins at sundown April 14 2014)  takes place as well. For early Pagans in the Germanic countries, this was a time to celebrate planting and the new crop season. Typically, the Celtic peoples did not celebrate  Ostara as a holiday, although they were in tune with the changing of the seasons.

A New Day Begins:

A dynasty of Persian kings known as the Achaemenians celebrated the spring equinox with the festival of No Ruz — which means “new day.” It is a celebration of hope and renewal still observed today in many Persian countries, and has its roots in Zoroastrianism. In Iran, a festival called Chahar-Shanbeh Suri takes place right before No Ruz begins, and people purify their homes and leap over fires to welcome the 13-day celebration of No Ruz.

Mad as a March Hare:

Spring equinox is a time for fertility and sowing seeds, and so nature’s fertility goes a little crazy. In medieval societies in Europe, the March hare was viewed as a major fertility symbol — this is a species of rabbit that is nocturnal most of the year, but in March when mating season begins, there are bunnies everywhere all day long. The female of the species is super-fecund and can conceive a second litter while still pregnant with a first. As if that wasn’t enough, the males tend to get frustrated when rebuffed by their mates, and bounce around erratically when discouraged. (Perhaps this is where the symbol of the bunny comes from in our Easter celebrations… ) :)
