WHETHER YOU ARE a Celestial Virgo by birth, have your Moon, Ascendant or ruling planet in this sign or have a ‘loaded’ Sixth House in your chart, Virgo is the sign of the Goddess and the gleaning maiden of the night sky in the northern hemisphere. For all of us, somewhere a harvest is coming in.  From around August 23 until September 22, we all get a chance to experience the Virgo force as it brings a more cooperative and service oriented approach.  Somewhere in your daily life you will feel this force because everybody has “Virgo” somewhere in their astrological chart.  When the Sun –  our solar star, lights up this sector – you too light up and can partake in the heavenly dance of reaping what you sow.  Even if you are not a Virgo by birth date, take a test drive on some of the qualities and suggestions below if you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be a Goddess.

DEPENDING ON WHERE you were born on the planet and at what time, you could be a late Leo or an early Libran if your birthday falls on either August 23 or September 22.  If you’re not sure there are many free horoscope sites on the net that will calculate your natal birth chart for you.  One of my favorites is Astrotheme where you’ll find many famous people you share your birthday.  When you sign up to become a Newsletter subscriber here at KOSMICK, and you still don’t know your Sun sign, I will be happy to calculate that for you.  From antiquity, the planets, stars and their stories continue to light our way, helping us navigate the deep waters that carry us along on our journey through life.

BIRTHDAY WISDOM 

AUGUST 2010 – SEPTEMBER 2011

23 August

If you are a performing artist this could be your year.  You have a fascinating blend of cerebral and soma energies working together to bring your life to a scintillating crescendo in the coming 12 months.  A steady and imaginative mind adds to your practicality a gift for innovation and original work while good fortune and luck are right around the corner.

*

24 August

Let your cup empty out.  Whatever you'll need you'll find, attract or pursue as a new game plan is coming into being for 2011.  Your desired aims are within your reach and with the cultivation of an unselfish disposition most assuredly are already in the pipeline for manifestation.  The secret sauce is out of the bottle and it relies heavily on your ability to connect with others.

*

25 August

You combine strength of purpose with perceptiveness and idealism which offers an excellent platform to launch careers in politics and humanitarian work.  But no matter what your calling, the coming year finds you with a sympathetic heart, an artistic temperament and a great capacity to make a lasting impression.  Love and engagement are in the stars.

*

26 August 

The stars fortell a year ahead of power and passion, the ability to make solid and enduring connections and for those with an open heart, the ability to draw to you the mate of your dreams.  You are being blessed with new cycles for practically everything that matters in life.  Dig deep and you'll find the balance that you've been working towards.

*

27 August

You'll be pinching yourself many times in the coming 4 seasons to remind yourself that indeed, this is your life as you welcome in huge helpings of self-confidence and an adventurous spirit.  And sleep is something that may have to go on the back burner so action packed is the year ahead.  Look to develop leadership and positivism in your behaviour.

*

28 August 

Take what you've built up and be prepared to be more flexible and entreprenurial in the coming 12 months.  Focus on finances and pursuing elegant and socially responsible ways to increase your cash flow and you'll be in the money.  You're solid yet amenable to change at a moment's notice which will put you in the right place at the right time.

*

29 August

Your intuition and psychic sense are there for you in the coming months so learn to trust it.  In matters of investment, health and work issues, it should be right on the money.  You carry much wisdom about what you need to be to be effective in relationships.  The year ahead invites you to apply that knowledge in a new role as a leader and peace maker.

*

30 August

There is just so much opportunity flooding in and you'll need to be vigilant to catch the moments.  And arrive they will.  Talk about instant karma.  You won't be waiting long for many of your most cherished dreams, hopes and wishes to materialize.  Focus your thoughts and will on learning meditation and mindfulness and the world will be your oyster.

*

31 August 

Your stylish and enjoying creature comforts in  the coming 12 months and if you can do this both at home and abroad, so much the better. The pleasures of a gorgeous home and fine dining are yours to enjoy with a sense of persistence and determination unusual for you but so much the better.   Success and material wealth are on their way.

*

1 September

There is a quickness and perceptiveness that claims you and adds a sparkle of curiosity to all your activitites and frame of mind in the coming year.  The pace of life should settle into a more comfortable rhythm by late winter.  From a more grounded perspective you will be better equipped to deal with a whirlwind of activities abuzz in your professional life.

*

2 September 

Even though gusty winds blow hard in the coming 12 months, you will carry the day and sail through whatever storms toss you about.  Through it all your philosophical mind set steers you a safe passage and you'll find friendly souls within arms reach more than willing to offer spontaneous assistance when you least expect it.

*

3 September

Monumental forces are in play, especially where home and family members are concerned.  Continue to build on those key relationships that have begun to shift in the last year and sit back and watch the transformations unfold, both for you and them.  It should be a harvest season where you get to experience your power and effectiveness.

*

4 September

Friends and key social relationships are where the action is in the coming year so best to be prepared to gear up for fine-tuning your social networking skills.  Your perceptiveness has never been better and thank goodness because you can't mix finances and friends in the 4 seasons ahead.  If you do you lose.

*

5 September 

Relax and enjoy the mellowness of life while you can because 2011 will be the complete opposite--new beginnings and fresh starts galore.  You have the confidence, charisma, optimism and energy to draw to you just about whatever fun and loving adventure you could desire.  Your passions gain in strength with every passing month.

*

6 September 

There is a tremendous aura of luck around your ability to draw to you the right people at the right time, especially when it comes to work and personal relationships.  You're on a role with leadership and creativity lighting your way.  If you contlinue to develop your compassionate side there is nothing that can stop you from achieving your goals.

*

7 September 

Take what you've learned about financial and resource management and parlay that into a new and exciting work environment for yourself.  Who knows, this could be the start of entreprenurialship and the year where you got together the courage and pluck to make some strategic shifts in your work-a-day routine.  You're coming into your power.

*

8 September

Be prepared for almost anything in the coming year and don't be blind-sided by your own optimism.  It's a year when Murphy's Law rules so just be open enough to consider all options, viewpoints, bias and the contra arguments.  By asking yourself the unthinkable questions, you'll at least be up the river with a paddle just in case.  Be prepared to start over.

*

9 September

Coming Tomorrow.
