My mind has totally been in the gutter lately. Like more than usual.
I'm misreading thread titles left and right and mishearing all kinds of things, thinking they sound really dirty.

Happy Birthday, Virgo

quote:

---

Jupiter is currently in the late degrees of Aquarius, which is your solar 6th House. This forms a quincunx relationship to late degree Virgo Suns and to transiting Saturn in late degree Virgo. In general this likely refers to some adjustment that must be made, perhaps within lf and how you relate to matters of your work or your health. That Neptune and Chiron (the centaur known as the "wounded healer" are also in Aquarius close to Jupiter makes whatever this means to you of greater significance over recent months prior to you 2009 birthday, at least up through the time in January 2010 when Jupiter moves away from Neptune-Chiron and on into Pisces. Take extra care during this period with wellness.

Jupiter in Pisces relates to your solar 7th house, and to a challenging aspect (opposition) with your Sun in Virgo. Jupiter in the seventh focuses beneficial light on one-to-one relationships. and Jupiter even in challenging aspect to Sun can be expansive. The caveat is to avoid having the expansiveness point toward expansion of your waistline or in unwisely spending more than you should. But it a time when energy is high and you can put yourself forward effectively and with success. Any Jupiter Sun aspects can relate to growth opportunities and are often chosen for the timing new beginnings in such things as marriage or business.

Saturn is in Virgo, your solar 1st House through most of October 2009, reflecting the need for responsible behavior in all things. This will be especially felt if your Sun in Virgo is in the late degrees (mid-September birthdays). Saturn conjunct Sun can be a time of considerable success, but added responsibility goes with that. Or, it could be a time when you have to face up to the fact that something in your life is not working out as hoped, and you'll have to make a change. Whatever it is, it demands responsible choices and actions. Even though difficult at times, this is a time you may look back on as one of the more important and beneficial times of your life.

At the end of October, Saturn moves into Libra, your solar 2nd house, which involves what you have, your possessions. In the current economy, most everyone has some concerns about one 2nd house matter—money. Understand that Saturn does not cause lack. Saturn does indicate that there's some lesson to be learned in whatever area of life it transits. Money can be a problem if you are not handling it responsibly, or if concern for material things is causing you to forget to appreciate the things in your life that money can't buy. If you are feeling insecure about what you have, realize that the only true security in life is what is within you. Nothing can take away your resilience, your resourcefulness, your patience, your integrity, etc., etc. Do you need to work on any of these important possessions? Refocus on your more intangible valuables, and you may be surprised now things can change for the better

Saturn dips back into the late degrees of Virgo in April 2010, retrogrades to 27 degrees at the end of May, then turns direct and reenters Libra again in late July.

Uranus remains in Pisces, opposing your Sun sign until nearly the end of May 2010. This aspect is especially felt by Virgos whose birthdays are in the very late degrees (mid-September birthdays) . The Virgo-Pisces polarity, in general, works well for the arts and for visionary idealism. But it is a very restless combination, especially for those with Sun in the late degrees. Pisces is your solar 7th House, so the restlessness may involve partnership or "significant other" relationships. Where Uranus is, there are needs for independence that strive for expression. You need to find a way to express them creatively without jeopardizing aspects of your life and relationships that you don't want to threaten. Take the lead in positively expressing this transit theme by doing something creative to reawaken joy in life.

Neptune, as said above under Jupiter, is still in Aquarius, making a quincunx late degree Virgo Sun signs throughout your solar year. Neptune is transiting your solar sixth house of work and health. While Virgo is inclined to the practical, Neptune longs for dreams (or illusions). We love to have work that we love, but there are aspects of every job that can feel more like drudge, but still must be done for the benefit of the whole. It will help to focus on the higher purpose for any work you do. Neptune likes that. Imaginative work in the creative arts may be inspired.

Then there is the health aspect of solar House 6. Extra attention here may be called for. Good health habits are especially important. In some way Neptune seeks escape through idealism or fantasy. Avoid any negative forms of escape (drugs or alcohol) that could harm your health and well-being. Spiritual and natural healing of self, or in or care for the sick would be among the positive expressions of this transit. Meditation is good to relax. Spiritual insights may be received.

Pluto is in Capricorn, a cooperating relationship to your Sun in Virgo, especially felt by those whose birthdays are in the early degrees ( late August). Capricorn is your solar House 5, and Pluto transits are transformative. House 5 relates to your children, your love affairs, and your creative pursuits, and also to risk-taking and competitions such as sports. With this transit you may pursue any of these interests with passion and intensity. Strong statements can be made with creative pursuits. Set a strong example for children, but remember they are not you—they need to find their own interests. Love relationships may be especially intense. Your energy is intense, so take care to not manipulate others. Concentrate on what YOU need to do, and what YOU need to change within yourself. Open yourself to a rebirth into a new more fulfilling life.

You guys have made my days(s). I'm having a wonderful birthday today - the first great one, actually, in years.

Love ya!!
Sunshine

Here's a Solar Return forecast for you:

The Year Ahead
Forecast for September 2009 to September 2010

If You Were Born Today, September 14: You are an insatiably curious person who loves a good investigation, and to unravel a mystery. While you do value a stable lifestyle and some predictability, routine bores you, so you do what you can to mix things up a little. You can be wilful at times, and very determined. However, you often leave projects unfinished because you seem to come up with exciting new ideas fast, and your enthusiasm for old ideas wanes quickly. You are quick-witted and hugely interesting. Famous people born today: Amy Winehouse, Oliver Stone, Clayton Moore.

Your Forecast: The Sun in harmonious aspect to the Moon in your Solar Return chart is a pleasant aspect, suggesting that your domestic and career needs are not in competition with one another this year. Your inner needs tend to be mirrored by external events, and vice versa. You are likely to be on top of your game this year for the most part, and positive connections with others can be made fairly easily. A comfortable level of personal popularity helps keep conflict to a minimum. With the ability to handle your emotions successfully, there will be less stress on both your mind and body. Your self-confidence and positive attitude will reward you!

Saturn has passed its transiting conjunction to your Sun, and you are likely to feel a lighter load in terms of responsibilities and obligations this year.

Mercury is square Pluto in your Solar Return chart, which introduces some intensity in your thought patterns and interactions with others. Try to avoid coming on too strong with your opinions. You are hungry for deeper meaning, but a suspicious attitude, or making mountains out of molehills, won‘t serve you well. Some secretiveness is possible. At times, you may have a troubled mind and some mental anxiety. On the other hand, it can suggest the ability to engage in deep, penetrating communication this year. Mercury governs speech, and you will need to watch what and how you communicate. Something you write or say could lead to opposition from others. Your need to investigate and read between the lines is strong this year. It’s best used for research and increased awareness of psychological motivations, both of others and yourself.

Venus opposite Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune around the time of your birthday this year puts the focus on love and romance in your life, but you could encounter problems due to overblown expectations or excessive behavior. You may overindulge your various appetites whether for social intercourse, food, sex, candy, alcohol, or whatever tickles your fancy. You might also fall for fantasies of people rather than for who they really are. Find a way to strike a balance between self-gratification and the obligations of daily life. Try to avoid taking risks with love and finances that stem from restlessness or unrealistic expectations. There's no reason not to have some fun with this sociable energy, but you would be wise to keep things in moderation.

Mars is in creative aspect to both Jupiter and Saturn, which gives a very nice feeling of purposefulness and conviction. You are able to hold yourself together well, and deal with others both straightforwardly and responsibly.

Jupiter conjunct Chiron and Neptune in your Solar Return chart suggests that idealistic and humanitarian goals or impulses have more significance in your life this year. You may experience an increased need for greater understanding, wisdom, and awareness, as well as increased interest in the healing arts and holistic health this year. It may be a time during which you reconsider or revamp your personal belief system. Everyday, ordinary life may not always satisfy, as you hunger for a more idealistic life.

Saturn in opposition to Uranus around the time of your birthday suggests some restlessness. Attempts to assert your individuality, freedom, and originality undermine your feelings of groundedness and security. Yet, you are not satisfied when you conform. There may be sudden and unexpected twists that force you to do something different or that help free yourself from old habits. Adjusting your plans is in order, and striking a balance between convention and innovation is the challenge. Setbacks tend to be temporary and often lead to new, more creative paths or solutions. Ambivalence is likely and could color many of your interactions.

You're likely to make new friendships and enjoy good times with an especially cooperative and accepting disposition this year. However, a tendency to put your faith in the wrong people or projects is quite strong, and to overdo indulgences in pleasures. Overall emotional balance benefits you in all life departments.

2009 is a Number Seven year for you. Ruled by Neptune. This is a year of preparation, chance, and refinement. It is not a time of dramatic changes. Instead, it's a year when reflection on the past is helpful, and when refinements to your life path should be made. It's a good year to study and analyze. Unexpected twists to your life story and "chance" meetings are probable. Advice - take stock of your life in order to prepare for more exciting years to come, examine the past and plan for the future, get in touch with your deepest needs and uncover your personal power, don't strain yourself or actively try to expand.
