So until we reach this moment of Mars moving into Virgo, you will feel a little anxious and like there is too much to do, with too much being added to your to do list before you can cross anything else off.  Neptune will be moving direct on the 9th but before it moves direct, it will be making an opposition with Mars.  That means confusing times.  You won't know which way is the right way and you won't feel safe and clear on what is going on around  you.  I can tell you to just ride the wave and sit tight because you are basically looking into a cloudy night sky trying to find the Full Moon, but until the clouds part, in the middle of the month, nothing will be clear or make much sense.  And don't think for a second that you can go rely on friends to set you straight because they too are feeling this transit and are just as muddled and confused as you.  All you can do is try to remain silent and watch the thoughts float by, without  giving any of them any importance because for real, one day you will think all is okay and everything will work out just great, and the next day you will be sure that you are walking over the wrong cliff and will soon fall to your demise.  I know actually it is all okay and everything will work out just great but you will just have to wait and see...

Because ultimately... Mars moves into Virgo on 11.11.11!  Yippee!!  That is the greatest of news.  This is when you can really move forward on your ideas and you will find that people are really starting to take notice and hear you and know the depth of wisdom that you carry within.  Up until this time they may just view you as a tool, but after this time they will stop and take notice and be like, wow, this person does have a lot to offer.  If you have doubted your own abilities or doubted that others acknowledge your abilities, just know that this enormous stay of Mars in your sign until July of 2012 will birth a brand new you.  People will now describe you as powerful, moving, determined, successful, a force to be reckoned with AND going big places FAST.  You will be changing the way that someone who falls in love just looks different. You know what I mean.  When someone is in love, they glow and no matter what happens, it is ALL good.  You will kind of have this glow and it will truly change your whole life.  Be stoked.  And be on the lookout to ride the wave on the opportunities that will be coming your way.  For the next 8 months, all the waves that come your way will be the really big ones that get surfers super stoked.  Nothing will be flat, and all your waves will carry you farther than you have gone in years.  Sweet!  And let me just reiterate that the reason this is all so special for you and not just everybody is because this Mars cycle for Virgos is SO long.  Other signs may have Mars in their sign for a month.  The last time you had Mars in your sign was in June of 2010 and it was only for a month and a half.  But this time, 8 MONTHS!!  Imagine this as a vacation, although in reality it is anything but a vacation because you will be uber busy and on the go, but imagine a month long vacation vs. an 8 month long vacation.  See what I mean.  The results will be ridiculously different.

Now when Mars moves over the degree on your Sun sign (or Moon sign or Rising sign or any thing you have in Virgo) you can expect some bold, rash, vocal, arrogant, opinionated, say it like it is behavior to come out.  If you are not Italian, people will at least think you are with this transit.  I mean you already have the "know it all"  Virgo going on, but with Mars backing you up, you will be very much ignited to push forward on whatever it is that you believe in.  I think that is cool.  But just be aware that you may push people outside of their comfort zones and they may not particularly like that.  This transit will just make you fierce and your competitors may feel you are quite the threat. 

Its funny because as I was writing that I started to hear in my mind the lyrics of Go Speed Racer!  Go Speed Racer!  GOOOOO!  And for reals that song is you baby doll for the next 8 months!

Here he comes
Here comes Speed Racer
He's a demon on wheels
He's a demon and he's gonna be chasin' after someone.

He's gainin' on you so you better look alive.
He's busy revvin' up a powerful Mach 5.

And when the odds are against him
And there's dangerous work to do
You bet your life Speed Racer
Will see it through.

Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer, Go!

He's off and flyin' as he guns the car around the track
He's jammin' down the pedal like he's never comin' back
Adventure's waitin' just ahead.

Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer, Go!

So more about Neptune going direct on November 9th ... any confusion with your work or with your health will finally be clear.  That crystal ball that has been in a fog for months will finally clear up.  And basically with the move of Mars into Virgo, everything I talk about for the next few months won't ever really translate in the negative because it is all about YOU for now.   So if work was confusing and you've felt like things weren't going to work out, well, scratch that idea.  Things will work out and you will come out on top.  If there was a health concern, scratch any doubts that you won't come out of this healthy as an ox.  You are driving that Mach 5 and if you believe you will come out on top, then you just will. If you believe you will win, you just will.  Mars is like your own personal generator.  Others may suffer from a power outage and be unable to do anything, but your generator will continue on and will push you forward in whatever endeavor or direction you want to take.  

Then the next day, November 10th, Chiron goes direct in the first degree of Pisces AND we have a Full Moon at 18 degrees Taurus.  Chiron is the wounded one who after healing her wounds, is then able to go out and heal others because of her experience in authentically walking her talk.  So Chiron has been in the position of inner healing and also in Pisces which is very sensitive and psychic and in tune with the mysteries of life.  Chiron will now be sending us forward after spending so much time looking within and healing our sensitive buttons and we will be walking into much more appropriate roles in the world that reflect our level of authentic experience. This direct movement can bring some healing to any relationship problemos you may have been dealing with.  Initiate communications now if you have burnt down bridges and need to reconnnect because the current transits are all for bringing peace to all relationships in your life now.  Start the conversations with healing as the intention!  Dude.  It will so lighten your load.

And the much anticipated 11.11.11 will arrive the NEXT day.  This is the most magical energetic portal times of our lives.  How to use it?  I say keep this day totally clear for only high vibrational thoughts and intentions and actions.  Do a ceremony if ceremonies are your thing.  Keep your eyes open for any signs or insights that draw you in.  Mediate at 11:11am your time and 11:11pm your time and FEEL the energies moving through you.  Imagine at this time that all beings are in tune and aware of the magic that flows through us all and that we are all one and the same.  Intend to only do and be love on this day. 

Now Mercury will be going Retrograde once again on November 23rd, so all moves BEFORE this time should be followed, but after this time they should only be contemplated. Things may get a little wacky around the home front or things may come up that need to be repaired.  This is a root situation, so maybe even things from your childhood or growing up environment will come up to be re-examined.  Maybe you find a thought pattern that you have been holding on to that really needs to be transformed and let go of.  Maybe you will find a thought pattern that is holding you in a sickness/illness and once you let it go, the illness too will not stick in you.  Give it some thought and feel free to look deeply within at this time.

The New Moon and Solar Eclipse will arrive on November 26th and the Sun and Moon will be sitting at 3 degrees Sagittarius.  This will be the time to intend new beginnings at home, with your home space, with a move, with any healings that need to happen with your familia.  If you want to be a less stressed person and a more loving and compassionate person, then intend that now.  If you want more freedom with the home and work balance then intend that now.  Intend to work less and be home more.  Don't worry about how it will come together, just believe it is a possibility and invite it into your life.  Maybe you can start working more from home, or starting a home business.  Whatever you dream, believe it is possible and use the power of Mars to make all yours dreams your reality.  It is so possible at this time.  You are the demon on wheels, burning rubber, leaving all in your tracks as you plunge forward in whatever direction you want to go.  Get clear and get on the road. By July you will be in a TOTALLY different space than you are today.  And it all starts with the steps you take this month.

Go back to November 2011 Monthly Horoscopes

You can feel that things are very much behind the scenes at this time but soon they will burst out into the open and you will be an on fire, on purpose Virgo.  Mars goes into Virgo on 11.11.11 and will be there until July of 2012, due to its added retrograde motion.  That is almost unthinkable.  This may be the longest period you've experienced Mars in maybe ever. Mars after that will go into Libra for 2 months, Scorpio for 2 months, Sagittarius for 2 months.  But you VIRGO get the planet of energy, DO power, sex drive, make it happen or bust, for a whopping almost 8 months.  Awesome.  That is fantastic news for you.  It is gonna be all about Virgo for quite a long time.

On top of that right now you are in a deep exploratory state for understanding what it is that you do value about yourself and about life.  If you knew that life would end in a few months, what would you want to be doing now?  If you knew that your time was so short, what would you want to do to experience happiness now?  Who would you want to be with?  What do you want to do creatively to be truly happy?  If you knew you could do and have anything, what would you want to do and what would you want your life to look like?  I ask these questions because the time is near when things will come together more naturally and effortlessly to you.  And you need to get clear on what it is that you truly want. 

There is something creatively in you that can make a huge impact on the world and the people.  So what is that, and what can you do now to expand on that, as in, extra training, apprenticeship, study or schooling.  What can you implement into your life spiritually so that this gift has full, organic expression?  What sort of spiritual practice can you now make a part of your daily life so that your creativity does blossom more naturally?  What can you do to make a more sacred space for source to communicate with you?  Mediation is a must for you at this time because of your overactive mind feeling that the planet Mars is about to makes its presence known.  You probably feel very contemplative and what if ,and how can I, and what should I ...and by next month you will know the answers to those ponderings.  But for now to keep you from going crazy in the grey area of who knows and anything can go, make the practice of mediation a daily thing.  You have a direct link right now to developing your psychic sensitivities so you might as well focus energy there through mediation and through the belief in your abilities to know all things unknowable.  I have a Virgo Moon so all this info is for me too, but, I have been noticing how right on psychic I have been becoming, and actually always have been, but what makes the difference is believing in my inner proddings and intuitional nudges.  Like yesterday I was driving down my driveway in the desert and inside heard, go slow, some animals will be crossing and I KNEW there was something to that.  I didn't doubt for one second and instead started to expect to see something and within a minute I see up ahead something crossing the road and it was a deer and then one after the other up to 10 deers casually crossed and just watched over at my car sitting there, with no fear. And then because I listened to my intuition last week which said, buy flashlights to keep in the car and around the house, i had a flashlight to look out and it was a massive heard of deer!  I have NEVER seen such a thing and I haven't even seen any deer on my driveway before now.  So listen to what is coming out of you and KNOW there is a reason and then EXPECT that it will be the truth and will show up shortly.  It is like when you believe you will pass the test, then you do, every time. 

Along with this behind the scene action and the examining of your value system, and rethinking where you want to expand in your life, you may find it difficult to express what you really need or mean and that is okay and just know that next month the gate will be lifted so that the words and truth will be flowing more naturally.  This is like a thinking, evaluating time for you and next month things will be moving forward swiftly like a broken damn, and this month will only be a faint memory of too many question marks.  Imagine that this month you are just positioning your life boat along a certain area of the damn and depending on what you choose now, determines where the water flow will take you once Mars hits your sign.  So the decisions you make now are uber important, but the impact won't really start to be felt or seen until next month.

The Full Moon will arrive on the evening of October 11 and will hit at 18 degrees Libra and Aries.  This will be a good point to see what is not working in relationships and how they relate to your value system.  You may find yourself saying, absolutely not and it is going to be this way, or no way.  You have the ability to bring forth what you do need from seeing what is not working any longer.  You may be in a struggle with someone over your values vs. their values and this is a good thing.  We have to learn to listen better to others before we just cast them out.  We have to learn to compromise and to come to middle grounds with others.  So expect that that is the ultimate purpose for whatever comes up in the few days surrounding the Full Moon. 

The New Moon will arrive on the afternoon of October 26 and will hit at 3 degrees Scorpio.  Now you can really start making intentions for how you need to better communicate.  All the inner work you are doing and self examining can now lead to expressing some of your needs that you may just be discovering you have.  This would be  a great time to work on your writing skills and especially through writing your emotions and the waves they go through.  Through writing what you are feeling you can really do much healing.  Sometimes the more we share verbally with others, the more confusing things get.  Sometimes it is better to write it to ourselves and then go forward and share things with others.  Use this time to clear up miscommunications and to intend to be a more honest  communicator, with the personal creed that each word carry the weight of your value system. 

Back to October 2011 Monthly Horoscopes

Virgo
You are searching for answers and direction at this time, feeling the need to move forward yet uncertain as in what direction to choose.  Jupiter is lighting you up with visions of far away places, travel and even the possibility of maybe going back to school for further education.  You should be wondering:  do I move or do I stay?  Do I go on vacation here or do I go there?  Do I want to go back to school?  Do I want to learn a new trade?  You know you want to expand in one of these areas but you are still in the dark as to which way to choose.  I say sit tight for a little while longer and look to the time around September 15th to give you a little insight into this new direction, but ultimately Jupiter just went retrograde and he wants you to think further before plunging ahead on these new directions you are feeling you want to go in.  Now if you started feeling these desires for change before Mercury went direct at the beginning of August then they are probably already in play and you are already on the way to moving to a new location or going away to school or expanding your life in some manner through changes to your environment and lifestyle.   Towards the end of this year Mars will be in your sign fueling you up with the gumption to make a decision and by the beginning of next year you will have full awareness of which way to go.  So feel the options fully and see how they each sit with you over time but truly just use this time to dream and manifest what the most fulfilling life would feel like to you.  Once Jupiter hits your 10th house it will be full speed ahead with lucky opportunities galore in your career and public image.  so for now you are feeling the urge to make more of your life and to plan for the next steps with your career and you are feeling these urges to act because you really are very close to some big time changes.  But ultimately do not worry about  missing the boat or if a decision is right or wrong, because you WILL know which way to go at exactly the right time for you.  Imagine you are siting in a doctors office and waiting to get some answers on what is going on but until that door opens and they call your name, you just can't move forward.  But without a doubt when the door does open and they do call your name, you will know it is time.  So no worries and instead be excited for what will be revealed in due time.

There are new people coming into your life and they will be unlike anyone you have met before.  If you meet a new lover at this time you can expect that it will be quite exciting and liberating and you may find yourself obsessed with just how amazing the sex is.  I love that aspect with sexual chemistry and how so often we go to new higher levels with each new lover, because as we grow and expand sexually, we manifest others who also are bringing that similar vibration and what they have discovered sexually to the table.  So each new ride with a new partner can be sometimes sexually overwhelming because we are all evolving with our sexual practices.  This is one of the reasons I believe in going slow and really getting to know someone first before taking it to that level, because it is so easy to get obsessed with someone sexually.  And with these days of absolute sexual revolution, sexual freedom, and unlimited sexual exploration, are there any bad lovers anymore?  Is there really anyone who doesn't know erotica and the tools of the trade and the art of sexual pleasure?  I know you do, being a Virgo.  I know you can't hardly get enough once you have hooked up with a partner who resonates with your erotic high sex drive.  And if you are not in a committed, doing it for the long haul, relationship at this time, you can plan on several new lovers who take you to heights that have your head spinning with delight.  And this will be your life for several years.  The higher power just must think you need some more exploration time before settling down with the one.  Enjoy it while it lasts. These people will come into your life suddenly and they may leave just as quickly as they came, so be cool with that.  Don't go losing your head and think you need to kill yourself because you are so heartbroken.  Over time you will see why it could not last and what the gift of the learning in the exchange was.  Expect new friends too who you feel a really strong instant bond to.  They are coming into your life and are so similar to you to reinforce that you are perfect the way you are, no matter how imperfect you feel at times.  Through likeness we feel more comforted in who we are.  Its like that tribe mentality. 

So there is a lot of change going on in your life but it is more that you are sensing it before it comes.  The dust is still settling for you.  The end of this play is yet to reveal itself.  The fog is yet to lift.  Just know and trust that you are safe and all that is coming into your life, through opportunities or people , has a very important purpose for getting you to that next level.  Oh here is another thing that came to me for you to imagine...pretend this is a scavenger hunt where you have to get to one point to get the information on how to get to the next point.  You can't see the whole picture and only by going to each destination on the path, do you figure out the next step.  You can't jump ahead without doing this one thing first and once you do this one thing, only then will the next thing be revealed.  Say you are called to move to a new city.  Once you get to the new city, you may be called to a certain job and once at the job you may meet the person of your dreams, and through getting together with that person, you may meet his or her friend who is going to school for whatever,  and through that person you may decide to go to school again, and through going to school again you may meet someone who is starting up a business and invites you in to help build it, and through that you may... and on and on.  That is life.  Trust the process and trust where you are is exactly where you need to be at this time, but do keep your eyes open for the next step to be revealed...

The Full Moon at 20 degrees Virgo and Pisces on September 12th 2:28am Pacific time, would be a great time to let go of old ways of seeing or believing who you are.  If you are too critical and judgmental about yourself, let that go.  If the same goes for other people, let that go.  Understand that they are perfect just the way they are, and just like you are doing the best they can with the tools they have.  Even with our parents we have to let go of feeling like a victim because of what they could not give us.  They ultimately did the best they could.  Maybe it wasn't enough for what you really needed, but you have two choices, forgive them or be a victim and see their lack as a parent as something that has damaged you. You aren't damaged!  You are perfect just the way you are and thank goodness that all the opportunities for growth happened so that you became this amazing unique person of depth. 

The New Moon at 4 degrees Libra will come on September 27th 4:10am Pacific time, and this will be the time for you to manifest and focus on new ways of valuing yourself.  Intend to love yourself no matter how much money you make, how nice your body is, who your company is, where you live, how you live, where you work, who you are.  Become your best friend and believe in your power to support yourself and figure it all out on your own. Also intend to be someone who can clearly state their needs.
