  • What does it mean?
  • Venus is the planet of money and beauty, she is the most feminine of the planets and is sometimes referred to as the “Goddess of Love” She rules Libra and Taurus.
  • Virgo is concerned with being of service to others, she can see every little detail and is critical of herself and sometimes of others. Because she can see the details that others miss, she also tends to worry more than the rest too. 
  • It’s easier to get along with our co-workers under this influence. Venus is charming and desires a harmonious atmosphere, Virgo wants to get her work done, and she wants to do a good job. 
  • Making our work place “pretty” may be on the agenda
  • This may not be the best time to begin a serious romantic relationship, although a flirtatious one may prove to be fun and uplifting… as long as worry/expectations are kept out of the picture. 
  • Some folks may take more of an interest in their health, indicating this could be a good time to begin an exercise routine or begin eating a bit healthier… every positive life style change is a good one, no matter how small. 
  • Those who work in any type of service industry may come across to their customers/clients as being helpful, soothing and or charming. Indicating this could be a good time for bonus’s, tip’s and little extras… 
  • For some folk concern over money matters, especially in area of small business may be on the top of  the worry list. However, it is suggested these guys, take a deep breath and get a workable budget in order before they give up the ghost completely. 
  • We can be more service orientated now, and or transfixed on doing what is needed in order to get a “much needed” small business venture off of the ground, especially if it concerns being of service to others. 
  • This can be an influence for the good, so watch for opportunity regarding work, service to others, and the medical field.

Conscious Gardening
Co-Creating with Nature

by Madisyn Taylor

To co-create we must first begin with a foundation of mutual respect.
Gardens offer us a perfect opportunity to reconnect to our true selves and remember our place in the natural world. Rather than approach our gardens as mere investments of energy, we can look at the entire process of gardening, from planting seeds to harvesting food, as a way of deepening our conscious relationship with the creative force of the universe. If we are willing to shift our intention from dominating, or at least directing nature, to co-creating with nature instead, we may discover a deep peace and renewed sense of wonder.

To co-create we must first begin with a foundation of mutual respect. As you create your garden in partnership with nature, you can respect the earth, water, insects and animals by using organic seeds, soil and fertilizers. You can also communicate with the plants, insects and elements involved in your garden, and create a regular practice of stillness to listen for any messages they may have for you. When it comes time for harvesting fresh vegetables or picking beautiful blooms, you might even ask permission first. If you ask with an open heart, you will always receive an answer.

Imagine what it would be like to surrender certain aspects of your human world to the precision and surety of the natural environment. You might decide, for example, to forego your calendar and plant in rhythm with the cycles of the moon. Or, you might choose to ignore clock time and water your garden when the sun hits a certain position in the sky. By opening your garden experience to more of nature’s input, you can become available to witness a whole universe of miracles, while engendering a greater sense of honor between the two worlds.

When we recognize ourselves as allies, co-creators, with the earth and the natural world, our relationship to our environment begins to change. We no longer feel the need to control the circumstances around us and can relish in the perfection of all that is.

SGC Admin: Women trapped in abusive relationships can get help, but it’s not easy to take the first step, this can be made more challenging if there are beloved pets in the home, this can sometimes deter a woman from making her “escape”… 

However, starting in the fall 2015 a new volunteer pet foster care program is slated to begin…. 

Volunteer’s are needed, and those who volunteer will need to go through a criminal background check, be open to home visits, provide references and sign off on the animal care guidelines… 

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer please contact: Ms. MacKinnon at: director_bethesda@rogers.com for more information.
