There is a lot going on in your life at this time. The Sun, Lord of Ego, is prominent, and as you stand center stage, the world applauds you as though you were at the height of your performance. With the Sun in Virgo, what the world is admiring is your service. Take a bow. You deserve it. You feel a strong urge to step out into the world, to make use of your radiance, and to clean up the messes left behind by others. Don’t fall into a savior complex. There is no need to think of yourself as a knight in shining armor who is destined to save the world. Though grand ideas are in your nature, the world already sees and recognizes your power. There is no need to overdo it.

Mercury, Lord of Mind, is close to the Sun and also in a prominent place. As he is in his own sign in Virgo (meaning that there is a natural affinity or kinship between Mercury and Virgo), he is particularly sharp and able to discriminate between junk and the genuine. He also focuses your heightened awareness outward and to the world, just like the Sun. Ask yourself where you can be of most help to others. You are meant to serve and will do well when you answer this call. Use your critical mind to focus on details this month. This is typically not your strength.

Jupiter, Lord of Expansion, the ruler of your sign (similarly, this means affinity between Jupiter and Sagittarius), is also conspicuously present and stirs in you the desire to find new horizons. Adventures of all sorts lure you. You might travel to distant places and explore foreign peoples and their customs. Alternately, you might explore new regions of your mind by going back to school or taking a course that offers you new ideas. None of this is necessarily practical. You brim with enthusiasm, and pesky details don’t bother you. Thankfully, Mercury is very concerned with precise action, so the chance of your getting lost in the Amazon for good is small—even though this idea sounds very appealing to you at this time.

Expect some discourse with your significant other. This is a polite way of saying that you may get into several fights. Remember that you need not always be right (even though you tend to believe that you absolutely, positively, are). It does not help that Mars is in direct conflict with Uranus, Your Inner Disturber. The latter stirs things up in your home. As Uranus is in Pisces there is a diffused energy to his usual sharpness. You feel conflict at home but it seems as though you are shadow-boxing and it is unclear who the real enemy is.

Your children, if you have any, are most important to you. Your inner struggles, or those with your honey, do not attenuate your ability to be a safe harbor for your offspring. If you do not have kids, then others who seek emotional comfort from you will find in you a readiness to listen and an eagerness to fight their battles with them.
