The Stars This Week (from IVillage and Astrology.com)
50% Practicality and 50% Idealism Gets You Where You Want to Go 08/21/06 - 08/27/06
There's something to say for a fabulous work ethic, and with this much action shifting to Virgo, you'll get all the tools you need to help you get organized and get your projects and plans moving forward. We begin the week with Mercury finishing up its transit through creative Leo as it opposes dreamy, idealistic Neptune on August 21. Then the Sun enters hard-working Virgo on August 23 followed by the Virgo new Moon on the same day. Mercury joins in, entering Virgo on August 27. Since Virgo is the sign of service, your confidence gets a boost and your security is enhanced by a feeling that you are doing something useful and worthwhile.
August 21: Mercury opposes Neptune
As Mercury connects with the larger Saturn/Neptune opposition by opposing Neptune (it conjuncted Saturn last week), you turn your focus toward your dreams and ideals. The question is: What is real or not; what is doable or not? You may want to review how realistic your ideas and plans really are. Yet, don't desert your dreams! It's just that not everything is being revealed right now. So think before you leap. Meditate before you act.
August 23: The Sun enters Virgo
The energy shifts as the Sun enters Virgo, a sign that is earthy yet quite idealistic. Keeping your feet on the ground and your head in the stars helps you maintain harmony in your life now. Some of you are preparing to go back to school; others are getting down to business dreaming up new ventures. With the Sun shining in this sign, you are interested in doing a great job, in getting your life organized. This is a roll-up-your-shirtsleeves sign, something demonstrated hugely by Virgo Mother Theresa, who was a virtual archetype of both the practical dreamer and service-oriented natures of this sign.
August 23: New Moon in Virgo
A new Moon time is all about a new beginning and a new cycle. As the Moon increases in light it culminates in the full Moon, when you will have a chance to stand back and take stock of what you started at the new Moon. So put your energy into something that is meaningful to you, something you want to grow. With a Virgo new Moon, which is very accomplishment-oriented, you'll notice that you and others want to get involved in something useful, something productive. As you think of a project, dream or goal that you want to infuse with this lunar energy, allow it to help you organize and implement those things that are the most important to you. A Japanese proverb with a Virgo-like bent is, 'If there is no wind, row.'
August 27: Mercury enters Virgo
Sharpen your pencils! Charge your PDAs! Your fertile mind needs something to do as this communication planet leaves fiery Leo and enters analytical Virgo on September 4. Mercury loves to be in this sign, one of its home signs (the other is Gemini). If you've been waiting to get your creative ideas into a form, the wait is over. Your mind hasn't been this sharp since, well last year when Mercury was in Virgo! Write that proposal, get the finishing touches on your film project done or create the perfect itinerary for your family vacation. Whatever your project is, your focus is at an all-time high. Just make sure you stay off the hamster wheel of turning the same thing over and over in your mind. Give your mind a job to occupy itself.

21st August 2006 - 27th August 2006
I was in the US recently and the story dominating the gossip columns was the firing of a celebrity who had been co-host on a hugely popular morning TV show. It seemed to be a case of hubris - the female star in question had stepped on too many toes and believed herself to be invincible only to discover that she was eminently reject-able and replaceable. The reason I mention this is that we are currently in an astro-scape that is redolent with the theme of sacrifice and betrayal, so should any of us find ourselves in the position of being outmanoeuvred and left high and dry we might take comfort from this celebrity's philosophy of life - Inside every obstacle lies an opportunity.

From Jonathan Cainer
Today: Once, we had celestial symmetry. 12 zodiac signs, 7 moving lights in the sky. The Sun ruled Leo. The Moon ruled Cancer. Each planet ruled two signs apiece. Mars governed Aries & Scorpio. Venus; Taurus & Libra. Mercury; Gemini & Virgo, Jupiter; Sagittarius & Pisces, Saturn; Capricorn & Aquarius. All that changed after 1781 when Uranus was discovered. After years of experimentation, astrologers attributed it to Aquarius. The 1846 discovery, Neptune, was eventually given to Pisces. By the 1950's we were confident that Pluto belonged to Scorpio. So... what will Ceres, Xena and Charon end up ruling? More on this hot topic tomorrow.
