Dear Friends,

The sign Virgo is the host for Saturn for the next couple of years. We have already had nine months of this energy. You can be sure that it is asking us to get rid of clutter. It is time to create some space for new things to come into your life. Virgo is an earth sign, and it is all about routine and ritual. It is time for us to perfect our routine, and rituals that support our day to day existence. We really need this sprucing up. The last time Saturn was in Virgo was 29 years ago. A lot has changed in our daily routines since then. There is more technology, more information, more knowledge about health, and more efficient tools for daily living. This has been helpful, but we also need to learn how to manage all this in a better way. We are glutted with too much. It is time that we made better choices in what we put into our heads, and what we put into our mouths. Virgo has to do with assimilation. We can only assimilate and use so much; so, it is time for us to choose the best.

Saturn will line up in opposition to Uranus this fall. We will be faced with change. Uranus will awaken us to better ways of living. Saturn will have to assimilate that into our daily routine. This Saturn/Uranus opposition hasn't happened in 42 years. It is time for the structure to change to accommodate the awakenings that are coming. This opposition is asking us to change what is necessary. There has to be a balance between Saturn, which is the structure that is already in our lives, and the change and awakening energy of Uranus, asking for growth. There will be a need to break out of old limiting ways to better, more enlightened, ways of living. Change is good. Move with the energy.

Mercury is the Planet that rules Virgo; so, every time Mercury goes retrograde, it will be giving us a message from Saturn. It will be showing us what needs a deeper look. The last Mercury retrograde was from January 28th to February 18th, in Aquarius. That Mercury retrograde was dancing with Neptune the whole time. Neptune unveils issues that we need to address. Of course, Virgo is ready, willing, and able to clean up what is unveiled. That has happened, and you have had time to clean up, fix, and organize what has been exposed over the last couple months.

Scorpio is the sign of the Zodiac that gets rid of waste. It is also like a recycling plant. What needs to be regenerated, transformed, or eliminated is Scorpio's job. We are having two Full Moons in Scorpio this year. We have two times that we can bring about transformation of and with the things we need to work on. We had a Full Moon at 00 degrees Scorpio on April 20th; then, we are having another one on May 19th at 29 degrees of Scorpio. Mercury was sitting with Neptune from January 22nd until March 9th, and was retrograding part of that time. That brought up what was necessary to look at. We could wrestle around with that stuff for a while, and finally be done with what we have been holding onto that was no longer necessary. By the time we get to the end of May, we should have had a weight lifted, and be ready to move forward.

This is just in time for the next Mercury retrograde on May 26th at 21 degrees of Gemini. This Mercury is curious, and is looking for the new things to fill the gap. Of course, you never make decisions while Mercury is retrograde; so, you let it play out. Mercury goes direct on June 19th at 12 degrees Gemini 59 minutes. At this point, you have gathered a lot of new information that will bring changes into your life. The only thing is that you may have to wait until Mercury gets back to where it went retrograde. That will be the Fourth of July. Mercury then makes a square to Uranus, and the changes in your life begin. Open up to the new ways of working, eating, and living. Saturn in Virgo is thirsty for the efficiency that this will bring. You are ready, because you have spent the last 9 months in the process of this change, and it is finally here. Be happy! Be healthy! Love what you are doing!

Blessings,
Brenda
