Sun-Mercury Conjunction in Virgo – Intentions Speak Louder Than Words

The Sun and Mercury in Virgo, conjuncted in 18° Virgo on Monday, September 10^th at 5:44a PDT.

With this transit, plans and intentions were set in motion.  Even if you haven’t been consciously planning anything, even if you didn’t think you had a clear intention behind your words and actions, this conjunction likely began to reveal whatever it is that you’ve been setting into motion.

As you begin to see what is moving forward and/or manifesting in your life right now, you may be excited.  You may find yourself saying “I didn’t realize that I was doing that!  How wonderful!”.  You could just as easily find yourself saying “I didn’t realize I was doing/saying that” or “I didn’t mean for that to happen”.  Whichever scenario is the case (and you may be experiencing a bit of both),  the intentions that have been there are coming to Light.

Mercury in Virgo represents ideas, thoughts, and communications about the practical matters in your life and your plans to improve or heal them.  In conjunction with the Sun in Virgo, these plans – both spoken and unspoken – begin to reveal themselves.

The thing that may have been rather surprising about the effects of this Sun-Mercury conjunction is that the whole concept of “what you think about, you bring about” may be proving itself to be true in your life.  What is showing up in your life right now and how it is showing up may be exactly what you intended for yourself and your life through your ideas and thoughts about it, even if you didn’t realize you were creating it that way.  You may be surprised to see what is being revealed if it’s something that you’ve thought or believed that you don’t or didn’t want.

If you find yourself saying, “But I didn’t want this” or “I didn’t mean for this to happen”, ask yourself:

• What have you been thinking about most in the last few weeks?
• For what have you been generating the most ideas for in the last few weeks?
• What have most of your conversations been about over the last few weeks?
• What has been your real intention in saying the things you have been saying to or sharing with others?

Whatever the answers to these questions are, these may give you valuable insights into how and why you’ve been manifesting what is showing up for you right now.

Ask yourself those questions even if things have been showing up exactly as you wanted and hoped they would!  Ask them so you can learn how to re-create this manifestation pattern again if you like what is showing up for you now.

During this conjunction, Mars is also in Scorpio, indicating clear and decisive actions.  Making choices for what stays and what goes in your life aren’t really difficult right now.  In fact, the choices you need or want to make are pretty apparent at this time though the choices you are making, both large and small.  The question under this influence is…are your choices aligning with your plans and intentions?

And with Venus in Leo at this time, the choices which do or don’t align with your plans and intentions are probably making themselves pretty obvious to you.  Relationships and partnerships can play a crucial role in how we choose to proceed in our lives, and you may find that the ones that have the most significant effects are coming to Light.  If you haven’t been in a conscious inquiry about who and/or what is in your life in these last few weeks, you may be surprised to see which relationship and partnerships (of all kinds) are showing up as important to you.  You may also be surprised by what they are revealing to you about the intentions you are setting in motion.

Reflect back on this past week to see what you’ve been implementing in your life.  As the New Moon in Virgo comes in at the end of the week, you’ll begin to feel the emotional and spiritual impact of your plans and intentions.

Thanks for reading and sharing.  Until next post…

New Moon in Leo – You Shine It, You Own It

With the Sun in Leo these last few weeks, there has been a lot of focus on yourself and who you are choosing to be in and for the world, and who have around you who supports or detriments your ability to shine your unique expression of Light into the world.  The Sun, of course, is still in Leo for another few days, and Mercury is continuing its presence in the sign in direct motion for a couple more weeks.

So by now, you know you have an unique expression of Light inside you that is shining outwardly to the world, whether you are aware of it or not.  And unless you have chosen to hide out in a cave somewhere, with both Sun and Mercury in Leo right now, everyone sees what you have to offer from the inside out.

Now the Moon joins the Sun and Mercury in Leo, and the Moon conjuncts the Sun at 8:55a PDT on Friday, August 17^th, 2012.  This conjunction is also known as New Moon in Leo.

The questions at hand are:

• Do you see yourself completely?
• Do you fully realize who you are and what you have to share with others?
• And do you own your complete self-expression from the inside out?

With the New Moon in Leo, there is an opportunity to not only know your Light but to own your Light.  When I say ‘own’, I mean to claim it and be responsible and accountable for it from the inside out.  Owning the expression of Light you shine – owning your unique identity – means to be able to say “Yeah, this is me. What about it?”  to anyone who questions your outward self-expression.  It also means that you are willing to own up to who you are being in your life (for better and worse) because you feel the truth of your self-expression in and from your inner being.

This inward talk of feelings and emotions is heart language, and for those of you who aren’t comfortable with your emotions or with expressing your emotions, this may be a challenging time for you as you are being called upon to be aware of and own your inner feelings as much as you are being aware of and owning your outward expression at this time.  True ownership is being able to inwardly and outwardly express yourself.  Feeling a certain way on the inside and expressing yourself outwardly in alignment with that inner Truth is the ultimate of ownership for who you are being in and for the world.

As stated in the previous blog post and earlier in this one, with the Sun and Mercury both in Leo right now, who you truly are and how you truly feel is probably no secret…to you or anyone else.  Not much can be hidden in the glow of the Leo Sun, and especially with Mercury in Leo, it’s not as if people aren’t already seeing you or talking about what they see.  The question under this New Moon in Leo is whether or not you choose to take 100% ownership for who you are being in your outward expression.

If taking conscious ownership of your self-expression is a challenge for you, it may be because you are not outwardly expressing yourself in full alignment with your inner Truth.  You may find yourself saying things that defend or justify your actions and behaviors – things like, “That’s not really me” or “That’s not what I meant”.  Those types of statements are clues that your emotions and actions are not in alignment with each other, and there is something you get to examine about yourself as to why they aren’t reflecting the Truth of who you know yourself to be and what you meant to express.

New Moons are great times to start something new – it brings an emotional awareness of your self-expression energy, which allows for an emotional renewal of energy.  This Leo New Moon is a perfect opportunity to align how you choose to express yourself on the outside with who you really are on the inside.  It’s a chance to show the world your True colors and to feel comfortable and confident in revealing them to others.

It’s also a chance to remember – if you’re the one who put it out there, it’s yours.  You shine it, you own it.
