The Virgo Sun will bring the current status of our daily lifestyle operations to light – the best and the worst of the current operations will be seen as the glory and/or the horror that they are. Nothing remains hidden in the light of the Sun. We will see how the mundane, everyday routines, systems, and processes of our lives are actually functioning.
Virgo Jupiter will bring practical and purposeful expansion, and it will expand whatever is already in place. This is why it’s important to look at and truly see what is happening in this moment right now – whatever we are giving our energy and effort to is growing and expanding.
As the Sun and Jupiter combine their energies, it is an excellent time to notice the practical functionality of our own individual everyday lives as well as the daily operating procedures of the world around us in order to ask ourselves if we are truly making life easier or healthier for ourselves. Are our lives really functioning in healthy and healing ways? Are we really being of practical and purposeful service to ourselves and each other?
This Virgo Sun-Jupiter conjunction is felt from 24th-29th August 2015, but the transit is exact at 3:02p PDT today, 26th August 2015 – a numerological 6 universal day. Six is maternal and/or healing energy – a.k.a. “mommy energy” – and under the influence of Virgo, six wants to improve things. Virgo 6 works to solve problems in the everyday routine of life. Its objective is to nurture and restore the mundane operations of everyday life to their functional best – healed, healthy, efficient, and effective.
Much like a mother giving her nurturing energy to her child, we are nurturing certain elements and aspects of our lives by giving them our effort and energy. That which is given attention, energy, and effort will grow and expand. What isn’t given attention, energy, and effort to will diminish and decrease.
One word which sums up attention, energy, and effort is…WORK!
That’s right. Whatever you are putting your attention, energy, and effort into is what you are working for and toward in your life.
However, in the majority of the world, we have been conditioned us to perceive and believe work to be an exclusively external thing – externally focused and projected. Yet we often fail to recognize that our outward projections of effort and energy come from within us! The results on the outside are reflecting the energy and effort we are applying within ourselves!
We often think that hard work means do more externally – longer hours, harder labor, more complicated systems or processes, more money or materials, etc. Yet we fail to see that right now, the work we individually and collectively need to do is more internal than external. During this 2015 Virgo Sun period and especially under the influence of this Sun-Jupiter conjunction, we also get to look within ourselves to learn and understand what is (and isn’t) driving our external efforts in order to make our external efforts more practically efficient, effective, and purposeful.
We are now waking up to the fact that effective and productive external work is the product of effective and productive internal work. Therefore, we get to look at how we each and all go about applying our resources and efforts to create and manifest the lifestyles we want to live.
On an individual level, this means that you get to take a closer look at how you choose to practice life. Think about that for a moment – really.
- What or who are you putting your energy into?
- How are you going about the day-to-day of your life?
- Why are you doing the work you are doing?
- What is your intention in doing the work you are doing? What do you hope to accomplish?
- What or who are you working for? Is it for yourself, for others, or both?
- What or who works for you in your life? What or who doesn’t work for you?
- Are you putting effort into something that works for you…or maybe doesn’t work for you?
Those questions are paramount at this time because whatever (or whomever) you are giving your energy and attention to will indeed grow and expand…for better or worse. Therefore, it’s important that whatever you are putting work into is something and/or someone you want to have a growing and expanding presence or influence in your life for the better.
Consider the people and projects which support, encourage, and nurture your healing, health, and wellness; make the day-to-day needs of your life simpler and easier to meet or manage. Those people, projects, and practices bring joy and ease to your life, so there is joy in doing that work! That joy is what transforms work into service. Authentic service is what nurtures lasting growth and expansion.
Wherever and however you authentically serve is where and how you reap lasting rewards.
- For those of you who have been doing your internal work, your rewards may begin to make themselves known today.
- For those who begin or do your internal work today, you will likely begin receiving rewards for your efforts in the near future.
- For those of you who are aware of yet resist doing your internal work, you may find that it’s getting harder to continue as you have been and that you may be making it harder do the internal and external work later. Things may become more complicated or you may be more entangled in your difficulties than you are right now.
- For those of you who have no idea that you have work to do, you may begin to realize that you might actually be responsible for some if not all of you current life circumstances. Once you start to see how your work affects your life, you may recognize a need to make some changes in your life.
Doing the internal work requires that you face the reality of your life. Not the ideal you’re hoping will become reality, but the practical and tangible reality of what you are living and dealing with right now. You will need to see yourself and your daily life and lifestyle in real, practical, tangible terms. If you’re not willing to let go of your ideals to face the reality of what-is, this Sun-Jupiter conjunction may be a very difficult time for you.
Yet if you are willing to face and accept the practical reality of your everyday life at this time, you may find that opportunities for you to progress forward and upward begin to appear. The doors open to those who are willing to open them – if you are clear and serious about your desire for healing and wellness for yourself and all around you, though it may be difficult to face some hard truths at first, you’ll likely find that optimism gradually emerges and begins to influence your life perspective and choices. Your life has purpose when you’re clear about the work you get to do, and purpose brings joy, and joy brings authenticity to your practical works and service.
Work, serve, and grow. That is the message of Sun conjunct Jupiter in Virgo. take time to look at yourself and your life, and figure out how to make this the reality of your life…and experience the growth and expansion of joy in your life.
