Wishing you a very happy, healthly and prosperous year ahead Virgo’sAugust 22: @ 10:24pm (PT): August 23 @ 1:24am (ET) Moon into Virgo:
August 22: @11:07pm (PT): August 23 @2:07am (ET) NEW MOON in Virgo.
The New Moon is traditionally a good time to begin things, be they projects, jobs, relationships, what ever is new in your life that is begun under a new moon, has a greater chance of success.. Any time from the 22nd to the 24th should be positive for “new beginnings”. The traits of the Moon in Virgo will be “amplified” under the New Moon… Some of us may experience difficulty in staying asleep, or our sleep is restless…

Aspects:
Squares can be challenging, two planets who don’t always get along, friction can develop, a feeling of being challenged by the other… some times we need that challenge to wake us up and get us motivated, great growth is possible, if we are up to the challenge
Opposition, challenging like the sqaure, but not all is lost, the planets are at odds with each other, but that doesn’t mean they can’t come to a compromise, although it may take one over the other to back down before anything can move ahead… Take a deep breath, listen to the other view point, and find the middle ground. If that can’t be done, then maybe it’s just not meant to be, aknowledging that will also “set you free”
Quincunx are frustrating and may require some adjustments/adjusting, they have nothing in common… We may feel forced, pushed or obligated to perform.. may also relate to health issues. Not a great time, just keep reminding yourself it will all be over soon.
Trines are very comfortable aspects, the planets involved are usually of the same element, (Earth, Fire, Water, Air) so they understand each other…trouble happens when comfortable take precedence over doing anything else, this aspect can induce some laziness, great it it’s time for some chilling… if it’s not that time, you may find you have to give yourself a push to get going.
Sextiles are planets that are of the same compatible element, (Fire and Air or Earth and Water) they have differences but totally respect each other.. so they are able to work well together.
Conjunctions are variable, they can be helpful or not depending on the circumstances and the people involved…

SGC gives thanks to Karen for her inspirational words, created in her “Messages from the Rose” Card Deck.

All Roads of life in the end inevitably lead you home
It is in truth the paradox of why so many often seek to roam
When you truly understand this beyond the words or phrase
You will recognize the most porfund truth hidden in this earthly maze
You see it matters not which path you finally choose
For in the end there are no right or wrongs and no real win or lose”
When SGC was a physical store front, we were more than happy to help local folks hawk their wares in our store… We had a consignment program set up, mutually agreeable to us and the local provider.
One such item we had on consignment was a product called, “Messages From the Rose” A deck of lovely cards, each with inspirational messages to help guide one through the day. The cards were created by Karen, who’s last name escapes us.
We kept our store copy of these cards, and have been drawn to them throughout the years, especially, when needing extra guidance, during challenging times.
Here is portion of Karen’s words, shortened, taken from the paragraphs written on the packaging of the Cards.
Dear Friends:
The rose represents to me, the ultimate symbol of purity, compassion and love.
The Blossom, represents the essence of our soul
The stem represents our mental awareness
The thorns are our fears and emotional challenges
The leaves and branches are our strengths, courage and emotional joys.
These cards are put together with loving verses to help us live life in a gentle, compassionate manner
Pick a card and endeavor to anchor the message you receive in your heart throughout the day.
We would like to share with you these inspirational words….
Today’s Pick is:
Over the last few years you have sought the solace of solitude
You have built invisible walls to keep out the multitude
We now urge you to open once more to the those around
You will be surprised at how many near you, now share a similar sound
Allow your heart and mind to feel the beauty these tender souls hold
Perhaps it is time dearest heart to finally come in from the cold.
