SUN in Capricorn ☀
(December 22nd, 2022 to January 19th, 2023)
dignity and a quiet reserve
Your Sun Sign is how you shine in the world. It provides the solar power for your purpose in this lifetime.
Capricorn begins on the winter solstice
The winter solstice on December 21st marks the Sun’s entrance into Capricorn. You have passed through the longest nights with dignity and a quiet reserve. Now your destiny calls you to climb the highest mountains and extend your light of wisdom into a world waiting to be reborn in Love.
Sure-footed success with integrity
Steady and sure-footed, you have fun while climbing to the pinnacle of success.
You're like an ambitious mountain goat, with keen foresight and strategic savvy.
Fairness and honesty are your natural modus operandi in business and your life goals. You are destined to accumulate wealth because to you it represents security—your real reason for making money.
You're a born leader in the marketplace of life. Having obligations to fulfill fuels your ambitious nature, and puts you on the path of prestige, honor and success in public achievement.
Archetype of Martin Luther King Jr.
One famous Capricorn is Martin Luther King Jr. He embodied the integrity and social justice typical of Capricorn. As if speaking about the solstice, he said:
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." —from Strength to Love, 1963
Prudent and hard-working, you can drive a hard bargain, but always with fair play and integrity.
Capricorn is the sign of the Supreme Court Justice who successfully troubleshoots the most difficult of problems.
All this adds up to a magical ability to follow your bliss!
Famous Capricorn Humor
Others may be fooled by your apparent mild-mannered meekness and that famous Capricorn humor, but underneath is a deep seriousness. A great example of this is the movie “Liar Liar” staring that famous Capricorn, Jim Carrey.
“The difference between a comedy and a tragedy is that in a comedy the characters figure out reality in time to do something about it.” B.Goodspeed
A little applause and appreciation please!
If your friends would post signs of appreciation along your path, you would willingly and happily go the distance with them.
Capricorn is a 10th house sign that’s all about public life, the marketplace, the right use of authority, and ambitions in the outer world.
Standing opposite to the Capricorn 10th house is the 4th house of home-sweet-home Cancer. Capricorns have the challenge and inner need to resolve the inherent dilemma of feeling lonely on the mountaintop of career success while at the same time longing for the serenity and secure comforts of home and family.
Notes: Capricorn is cardinal leadership sign. It’s element is earth. Serious Saturn is the ruling planet and muse. Saturn rules the skeletal system, bones and teeth.
SUN in Aquarius ☀
(January 20th to February 18th, 2023)
The traits and style of your Sun Sign are how you shine in the world. It provides the solar power for your purpose in this lifetime. It’s your yang To-Do energy.
As an airy Aquarian, you are born in the intellectual sign of the great humanitarians for mankind. You are forward-thinking, scientifically minded and quite logical.
Social justice is where you have your strongest opinions and your most rebellious calls to action. Aquarians function as guardians for the rights and equality of others.
Heartfelt connection and sympathy for human problems are part of your purpose in this lifetime and a delightful part of your charm.
You're never lonely because your friendships are marked by:
unwavering loyalty
tolerance and acceptance
love without restraints
With Uranus the god of lightning as the "ruler" of Aquarius, you have originality and innovation as you muse.
Your motto is, "Don't fence me in!”
You refuse to be predictable or to succumb to conventionally--rebellion is in your bones!
So is the need for freedom. You have the ability to combine your brilliant intellect with the pure expression of your heart in order to give others an objective vision of a different world, a new reality.
You Live in Ivory Towers!
Although you are quite noble in your goals, you can also be cooly critical at times. You value logic and the discovery of life's mysteries so highly that you can dismiss your feelings in order to enjoy the ivory tower heights of your intellectual ideals-- this is where Aquarians get the reputation for being aloof.
You are a rebellious spirit and a committed advocate for freedom of self-expression. You will even fight for your right to be unreceptive to other people’s ideas!
SUN in Pisces ☀
(February 19th to March 20th, 2022)
Beautiful Dreamer
With your Sun in the oceanic waters of Pisces, you have a deep compassion and empathic responsiveness to the feelings of others. Its as if you are naturally tuned to the music of the spheres, which makes you one of the world’s poets, musicians, and beautiful dreamers.
Pisces rules the feet, giving you a natural talent and love of dancing. However, you have to overcome your innate shyness! Remember all great performers have stage fright. It’s the feeling of “I’m not ready yet.” Good friends will give you a nudge and a push!
Gift of Clairvoyance
Your emotions and intuition reach into the far tributaries of the collective consciousness. This is a great gift of clairvoyance, clear seeing into the recesses of the unconscious mind.
Your exquisite antenna make you something of a psychic sponge, absorbing the vibes around you whether you consciously intend to or not. Fear is not an emotion that you manage well. You tend to go from fear to terror in a split second.
Your intuitive reach is as boundless as the ocean’s waters. This makes for difficulties as you sometimes cannot discern your feelings from those of another.
Secret Mystical Depths
As the chameleon of the zodiac, you are a talented actor and versatile thinker. Pisces is a water sign, concerned with subtle emotions and secret mystical depths of consciousness.
You can be moody and introspective because just below the level of consciousness you carry a vague sense that you are not at home in this world. More than any of the twelve zodiac signs, you feel like an alien, exiled from your true home.
Visionary Neptune is Your Muse
You’re under the influence of visionary Neptune, god of the sea and symbol of the collective consciousness--the celestial rhizome where akashic records of all births and deaths are stored. To be tapped into for the material of a soul’s next birth.
This gives you a psychic sensitivity to the whole of human suffering, creating in you an other-worldly kindness and tenderness.
You’d prefer to drift on calm waters rather than struggle to fight for your own rights. It’s a fine line between sympathy for another’s pain and giving your own needs away in order to serve them. People who are downtrodden, often through no fault of their own.
You're drawn to work in institutions that house such people, including prisons or soup kitchens or homeless shelters.
12th House of Pisces
The twelfth house is home to Pisces and is the final evolutionary stage of the 12 zodiac houses. It is the end of winter and a time of hibernation—of serenity and inner peace.
On the celestial clock, it is the darkest hours just before dawn. In its quiet embrace, it holds the secrets of prophecy. An inner knowing of what is to come.
It is also the house of self-undoing, of martyrdom. It is the burial ground for the past, the place of deep inner work to release the old in order to prepare the ground for new life in the Aries spring.
You can lose your sense of identity because you merge so easily with the feelings of others. The trick is to create boundaries and limits to your giving nature, least you succumb to endless self-sacrifice and ennui.
"Put on your own oxygen mask first."
You must use the advice of those public service announcements, "Put on your own oxygen mask first." Even when it feels “selfish.”
All this to say, you can lose touch with your inner barometer for how much is enough. This can get you in trouble with alcohol and drugs. Because you are so highly sensitive, even prescribed or over the counter medications can have an exaggerated and undesired effect.
You can so easily slip into the dreamy escapism of your boundless imagination, that fantasy blurs with reality. Especially in times when reality is harsh and cruelty in the world seems to have the upper hand.
Mystical and deeply empathic, you are a gentle soul and a savior at heart. You have a soft, considerate, tender touch.
If you can learn to give your deep compassion to yourself, you can heal and be healed while dancing beautifully across the stage of life.
SUN in ARIES ☀
(March 21st - April 19th, 2022)
It’s Springtime! The Vernal Equinox is the day the Sun enters pioneering Aries. New seeds are planted. It’s a new dawn!
Ready, fire, aim!
With Aries as your Sun sign, and Aries being the first of the twelve zodiac Sun signs, you're the assertive pioneer who blazes the trail for others.
Warrior Mars,* the god of war, is the namesake for the zodiac sign of Aries, meaning his antics in mythology are the backstory for your yang energy.
daring entrepreneur
Fueled by the element fire, you sparkle with initiative, and daring.
You're the quintessential entrepreneur. You embody the archetype of a modern day Johnny Appleseed-- you plant the seeds of new possibilities, but you have no interest in staying around to watch them grow. You prefer to move on to another green pasture and leave the job of watering and tending the seeds to some else.
robust athletic prowess
Your robust athletic prowess makes you a talented sprinter or champion in a relay race. You can leave the marathons to Leo or Sagittarius fire. Symbolically, the fire energy of Aries lights the torch that is held high by the front runner who leads the olympic athletes onto the track to begin the games.
Bottom line, you go first and it's okay if others follow, but actually you don't really care. You definitely don't look back to check.
butt heads with challengers
You meet challenges head-on! The Aries glyph is the horns of the Ram who leads the way with undaunted enthusiasm and a tremendous drive to make things happen. And yes, you will definitely butt heads with challengers to your authority-- or anyone who tries to tell you what to do.
You're full of creative energy and zest for life. Expansive, exciting, and truly heroic, you aggressively initiate new activities-- and almost as quickly move on to the next challenge.
Since Aries is ruled by Mars, the god of war, you have the nature of a conqueror—one who loves to win and usually does!
love-at-first-sight!
In romance, you’re love-at-first-sight! You can quickly decide what /who you want. You'll also be the first to say "I love you!"
If your partner complains about your fast pace (you do love speed), you can remind them that this also applies to arguments. You quickly blow up, and as quickly you're done. You move on without regret or resentment. You never hold a grudge. What a gift!
brains on fire
You'll always have the spontaneity of a teenager, no matter what your age. Aries is Cardinal (leadership) Fire, and rules the head, giving you an inclination to be quite headstrong! And a tendency in later life to go bald--all that think-tank fire burns up the hair roots! The phrase “Move fast and break things” was coined by fellow Sun in Aries, Mark Zuckerberg.
*Mars is the Roman name for the god of war; the Greek name is Ares.
SUN in Taurus ☀
(April 20th - May 20th, 2022)
The traits and style of your Sun Sign are how you shine in the world. It provides the solar power for your purpose in this lifetime. It’s your yang To-Do energy.
Rock of Gibraltar
Handsome Taurus, you have a Rock of Gibraltar steadiness that keeps you on course in life and makes you a valued guide and companion for others. However you’d never want to be a Sherpa— your 5-Star taste doesn’t camp out!
Your way of being in the world is purposeful and undaunted.
Alluring but not daring
Your muse is Venus, the goddess of love and art. She bestows allure, creativity and love both to your physical body and to your relationships. You have the chiseled Greek beauty and powerful determination of a David against Goliath, and the artistry of Bernini, who gave us the sculpture of David that depicts your steadied heroic strength.
That's not to say you don't appreciate sensuous earthly delights -- like
Balsamic Fig Truffles from your favorite chocolatiere waiting on your fluffed down pillow at the end of the day.
Sleeping-in on those golden thread 1000 count sheets.
Breakfast in bed is a given ~ with Tupelo Honey for your tea.
With Venus as your primary influence and muse, you are fond of comfort, pleasure, and the erotic way of life.
You will quite naturally surround yourself with luxury, which is a necessity for you! You enjoy collecting things that are of value, either financially or aesthetically—few things come in second to money in the bank!
money in the bank!
Have you noticed that the symbol of Wall Street is your Taurus Bull? That oversized sculpture depicts a bull, the symbol of aggressive financial optimism and prosperity, leaning back on its haunches with its head lowered—ready to charge."
You can be quite stubborn, as well as being steady, loyal, and kind.
Your Taurus Sun gives you an inclination toward the practical, down-to-earth matters of life, making you good with finances--especially other people's money. However, greed is not your motivation for accumulating wealth, which you undoubtedly will.
Your real purpose for wanting money is the security it brings.
Loyal and possessive, particularly in relationships, you have a powerful emotional nature. You have your own way of doing things, and people who are close to you would be wise not to interfere with the Taurus bull.
You're strong-willed, and you can really dig your heels in when you think you're being pushed.
A Green Garden Thumb
You face the world with unarmored faith, and you draw your strength and inspiration from the luscious gardens of mother nature's cornucopia.
Your focus in life is the cultivation and accumulation of resources, which you will grow with your famous Green Thumb. You provide a purposeful, productive and stabilizing influence for yourself, those close to you, and for society at large.
Most of all, you live your life fully immersed in beauty!
Spiritual Strength of Taurus
If your Sun or Ascendant is in the sign of Taurus, your purpose is to teach, and therefore learn, how profound the human need for beauty really is--that deep longing mankind feels for the nameless aesthetic that animates and inspires our spirit.
For you, that often manifests through physical form--through the body. Through the loving and magnetic touch of your soles to the soil, you experience the natural way you are connected to the world wide web of roots seeking nutrients -- the intricate network that connects and supports the growth of all living things.
You're no ordinary gardener! You are drawing up the wisdom from Gaia to save our planet in its hour of need. If you accept this spiritual challenge, you can work at the razor's edge of needed reforms.
What a perfect time for you to have taken birth, just as a renewed surge of honoring the power of Mother Nature is finding expression. New fields like Biomimicry are taking root.
"Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground." Rumi
SUN in Gemini ☀
(May 21st to June 21st, 2022)
The traits and style of your Sun Sign are how you shine in the world. It provides the solar power for your purpose in this lifetime. It’s your yang To-Do energy.
Curiosity is how you thrive
With your Sun in the intellectual air of Gemini, you have the gift of curiosity. This calls you to travel in the higher realms of thought, and to deliver the wisdom you find there to the rest of us.
You see the world and the people in it as colorful and constantly changing--just the way you like it.
Multitasking Think Tank
You’re a walking think tank, and a natural communicator. You’re not comfortable coloring inside the box. In fact, you tend to throw out the box completely.
You have a kaleidoscopic view of the world. Mixing and mashing it up comes naturally to you. You appreciate the challenge.
Variety is your spice
Variety is the spice of your life, and your insatiable curiosity has you continually looking for new ideas and unheard of words and exploratory ways to communicate.
You're a multi-tasking nonconformist who is easily bored! You can literally juggle many ideas at one time and engage in several projects at once.
Your ingenuity and inventive imagination make you a talented writer.
Communicating is your superpower!
You're a swift communicator because Mercury, the messenger planet, is your muse. Like that winged messenger, you’re thirsty for knowledge and deliver your ideas with a flourish.
Book, books and more books! You're probably known for having a large library, and being a voracious reader. You're meant to be well educated, as this helps to fulfill your life goals.
President of the Debate Club
You probably signed up for the high school debating team. Even in your youth you loved playing with words and ideas. You enjoyed winning, but that’s not the point. You’re attracted to the stimulation and the intellectual challenge it affords you.
If you make the time for it, you can be a Scrabble genius and a crossword puzzle savant.
Roller Coasters are your favorite ride
Highly adaptable and changeable, your Gemini Sun gives you mental agility and sociability that insures your success and popularity.
Gemini is an air sign, meaning it’s focus is the intellect.
Gemini functions as a mediator, with an easy ability to “argue” any side in a dispute.
You love to ride the roller coaster hands free and waving high in the air. You can be quite flighty and the easy way you can change direction can frustrate those close to you.
Boredom is your worst nightmare
You like to engage in varied experiences in order to stimulate your mind and to ward off boredom! You’re witty and have a good sense of humor. You’d make a good teacher, but you’re a fidgety student.
You’re the master of nervous breakthroughs!
In order to avoid a nervous breakdown, you need to settle on one idea or one task once in awhile.
You have a highly developed nervous system that is prone to adrenal exhaustion. When you have it under control, you have tremendous intellectual and artistic possibilities.
You’ll never make sitting still part of your routine. If fact, you’re likely to avoid having a routine!
Having a mantra is your best tool for meditation. You need words! Yoga helps with the no-sitting-still distraction. Most often mantras and yoga practice must be preceded by the study of the mind—alpha and beta waves etc.
Your wisdom swells from life experiences—especially travel. You would be a happy and productive roving reporter. Key word roving.
SUN in Cancer ☀
(June 22nd to July 22nd, 2022)
The traits and style of your Sun Sign are how you shine in the world. It provides the solar power for your purpose in this lifetime. It’s your yang To-Do energy.
Sweet Summertime
The Cancer Sun ushers in the Summer Solstice—the season of blossoming. The longest sunny days and shortest quiet nights.
It’s your destiny to have the fruits of your labors grow into their fullness and be of great value to many.
What you nurture will be the food for the flowering of your creativity, which you will use for the blessing and benefit of others.
It’s Raining Feelings!
Big sensitive ones--even if you don't show them to others (remember the crab's hard shell?).
Ruled by the Moon, your moods are variable and reversible, ebbing and flowing, changing from quiet introversion to bubbly extraversion.
It's easy for you to feel like others are stepping on your most sensitive toe. Deeply sensitive, just like the watery crab, you withdraw in defensive resistance when you feel insecure or uncomfortable.
However you may be too much of an expert at keeping your true feelings hidden behind a closed door. Hidden even from your own self!
Chocolate Chip Cookies & Moonpies
"Home sweet lavish home" is Cancer's nurturing motto.
You’re a natural homebody and lover of family—instinctually driven to protect and nurture those you love. Both men and women with this sign are usually very good cooks, expert chefs, and enjoy feeding and nurturing others.
A natural leader, you can be quite successful in the outer world, but you must balance that with your strong need to be with your partner and family.
No Public Displays of Affection
You may not wear your heart on your sleeve, but that’s because it’s too big to fit!
Your caution is not about secrecy—it’s a gift for having discernment and appropriate boundaries. Privacy is essential to your comfort zone. You don’t show your emotions easily. Conditions must be right. You must feel safe.
Vulnerability is your least favorite word and feeling! That’s why you love how useful it is to have a hard outer shell. You get to choose when to come out.
You Love by the Light of the Moon
And like the tides, you’re pulled into the silver limelight of the Moon. As romantic and mystical as the Moonlight shimmering on the water.
When you decide to declare your love for someone, you’ve taken your emotional temperature and know it’s just right. You require trust and you prefer privacy in a relationship before you’ll say what you really feel.
In Every Way A First Responder
Cancer is a water sign symbolized by the crab who carries his house on his back! A handy way to live life for a Cancer Sun sign. Like the crab, you have built in protections against predators.
You definitely have strong leadership abilities, often in a somewhat parental and truly helpful way. You’re the “boss” and everyone knows it although you’d never dominate or put others in a subservient role.
You’re a natural First Responder. You enjoy helping others and you’re very efficient and effective when doing so.
Sympathetic
Kind
Protective
Cautious
And, you can be masterful at sidestepping questions that are too direct or probing. Others may think you're hard to get to know because of this. You don't mean to be secretive, you're just protecting your vulnerability.
Always Trust Your Gut
You’ve got a genius Emotional IQ! You have uncanny instincts for sensing what is needed in any situation.
You have a marvelously fertile imagination!
You're likely to be successful in business, since you understand the marketplace and the world as one big family.
Your role as a concerned parent, or the role of your parents toward you, are foremost in your mind. Acknowledging the deep roots of your family ties can satisfy your strong desire to belong, to be part of the whole.
SUN in Leo ☀
(July 23rd to August 22nd, 2022)
The traits and style of your Sun Sign are how you shine in the world. It provides the solar power for your purpose in this lifetime. It’s your yang To-Do energy.
2022 is your lucky year!
2022 is your year to release your creative and romantic exuberance from the limitations of ruts! Laziness can be a rut for Leo because of your natural sense of entitlement as king of the jungle—ruler of your tribe. No one questions your right to rule.
It’s true that others love to wait on you hand and foot, because you’re also so demonstrably affection in return. Afterall, you’re adorable!
But now Jovial Jupiter, in your harmonic fire sign of Aries, redoubles the gift giving and you’re presented with so many opportunities, laid at your feet, that you may not unwrap them! Maybe you think you’ll do that later—after lunch and a nap!
Don’t. Jupiter will be moving on. Focus on the dawn. Be inspired by each new sunrise. They are particularly potent for you this year.
Regal Power, Physical Vitality & Courage with Charisma!
You are born under the sign of generosity and nobility of spirit, the fire sign of Leo.
As a Leo you get your courage and solar power from the Sun, giving you strong yang energy to get what you want in life.
Courage is your keyword in this lifetime, from the from Latin cor —meaning “heart.” Hence your nickname, "Lionhearted."
Lionhearted
Like the Sun, you shine with an inherent authority as a natural leader. Magnanimous and regal, you never fight unfairly.
You are loyal to those you love and fiercely protective. Your roots lie in the tribal home, and in the dignity of your own personal independence.
You are truly a compassionate monarch—self-confident, creative and born to enjoy being the center of attention, on stage and off.
It's been said…
"you've never been loved 'til you've been loved by a Leo."
You may recognize the regal Lions and Lionesses in these famous Leos: Jennifer Lopez, Robert Redford, Sandra Bullock, Dustin Hoffman, J. K. Rowling, Barack Obama, Whitney Houston, Mick Jagger, Neil Armstrong, Halle Berry, Robert De Niro and Helen Mirren.
SUN in Virgo ☀
(August 23rd to September 22nd, 2022)
The traits and style of your Sun Sign are how you shine in the world. It provides the solar power for your purpose in this lifetime. It’s your yang To-Do energy.
The CEO of Planet Earth!
You can organize anything! Efficiency, good health, and a brilliant performance of your duties mark the methodicalness of your Virgo Sun. Your excellent attention to detail and sharp focus makes you a talented and expert craftsman, a physician or a technician.
Virgo is a Mutable-Earth sign. Mutable means you are a counselor and mediator. You stick to the facts and can therefore be objective and fair. As an earth sign (along with Capricorn and Taurus), you are grounded in practicality and common sense. Both of those qualities together are why you’re called the “CEO” of Planet Earth!
Your ruling planet is Messenger Mercury, the god of communications. One archetypal image of Mercury can be seen on the side of FTD Florist delivery trucks. The guy with wings on his feet and on his helmet— he always delivers!
Like Mercury, you deliver the goods! And you’re rarely at a loss for words. You’re a skilled communicator, especially when details or technical data is involved.
The mystical guide for the Virgo clan is the elephant
Symbolically the elephant is an icon of strength, honor, stability and patience--intent on bulldozing obstacles on your path. Riding an elephant suggests you are the leader of the family, and others are heavily dependent on you.
Elephants are a symbol of responsibility because it takes great care and responsibility for its offspring, as well as the elders. Full of immense determination and loyalty, you stand up for others and defend members of the group.
You’re grounded and in touch with Mother Earth as a source of healing remedies. As a Virgo, you are known for being an intelligent, industrious worker. It is through your service to others that you harvest the wisdom from your life experiences.
Clean sheets & showers are sexy?
Yep. You have a reputation for neatness, which can border on obsession, and cause nervousness about orderliness and health. Your zodiac symbol, the virgin, signifies that your high standards can override your attraction to love's adventures. Add a lightheartedness to your romances, lest you decide no one is good enough (including yourself!).
Surrender to the messiness of an intimate relationship! Yes, sex in the shower (or right after) is your sensuous bottom line— in a perfect world. Which this is not! Lower your way-too-high expectations. Let love surprise you. You know how ripe and juicy you are on the inside!
It’s good enough!
Caution--you can get consumed with worry over meaningless trivia.
Because proofreading is a genius skill for you, you can quickly find the mistake in anything. In anyone. No flaw escapes your discerning eye.
Another way to describe that is “picky.” This is what gets you in trouble with romance. What could be a bigger turn off for the blush of new (or old) lover than to point out his flaws? His many flaws.
You don’t mean to be insulting. You simply think it’s helpful to tell him what’s wrong—with him. Afterall, then he can correct his mistakes!
But you’re not just picky about partners.
Driven by Perfection
“No Junk!” Virgo rules the digestive system. It’s why Virgos eat for health. Taste is secondary. The term “Health Nut” was coined for Virgos! If a Virgo ignores nutrition and/or loses control of her diet/weight, there can be extreme physiological consequences. Like ulcers!
Perfectionism is both a curse and a blessing for all Virgos. On the one hand, you take your jobs too seriously and tend to overwork. However, you know on a spiritual level that perfection is possible, and it’s that vision that inspires your drive for perfection. And, it is the key to your healing abilities. You can be an exceptional diagnostician.
Caution: Microscopic analysis occasionally causes you to have tunnel vision, so keep your eyes on the horizon. Step back on occasion and get a higher perspective that looks past the day to day grind.
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is the pursuit of excellence. And the ability to see the perfection in all living things. You’re a natural healer who loves to be of service to others.
Mother Earth is a Virgo
Virgo birthdays occur at harvest time. You are a gatherer of the fruits of the material world which you will put to practical use.
The goddess Demeter is an archetype for you. She is the muse for Healers, Doulas, and Mothers due to her natural fertility. In mythology Demeter caused the land to be fertile and the crops to produce a bounty of food. She is steadfast and dependable. This goddess oversees the harvesting of the fruits of your labors. Unless…
Unless someone thwarts her plans!
The dark side of the Demeter archetype is worry. Especially about your children and/or anyone dependent on you for their welfare. When Demeter’s daughter Persephone was abducted by Hades, and taken to be Queen of the Underworld, Demeter’s grief was inconsolable.
All the crops died, the fruits fell to rot and nothing would grow— a cold winter of famine overtook the world. It was only after Zeus made a deal with Hades to return Persephone to her mother for half the year that the crops grew again. This is the mythology of why we have seasons of winter and spring. In winter, Persephone returns to Hades. And in spring she returns to her mother, Demeter.
6th House ushers in the fall equinox
Virgo rules the 6th house of the 12-house zodiac. It’s the time and place of reaping the rewards (the harvest) of the evolutionary work you’ve done in the previous 5 houses— since the first day of spring, March 20th. Virgo finishes up the work of inner preparation.
You know who you are and what your talents and challenges are in this lifetime. The next house, the 7th house of Libra, is where you’ll offer your harvested wisdom and gifts to others and to a special partner.
SUN in Libra☀
(September 23rd to October 23rd, 2022)
Your Sun Sign is how you shine in the world. It provides the solar power for your purpose in this lifetime.
Peace, please!
Your Libra Sun sign has Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, as its muse. The quest for harmony and balance in all your relationships have prime time in your Libra mind. You're happiest when you're in a committed partnership, either in romance or business.
Unfortunately, this Libran desire for peace is so strong that you’ll avoid conflict by bending over backwards to please someone. Then you’re off balance and so is the relationship. It’s a lose lose. Keeping the peace at any price to yourself is not sustainable. Your scales of justice tip over. Being unjust to yourself is a hidden dragon that you must slay. Otherwise it can undermine your relationship and tarnish your charming grace.
Your archetypal cosmic lover is the warrior, Mars. Venus and Mars are in a passionate but not committed relationship. You, ruled by Venus, want loving cooperation and considerate diplomacy in all your communications. You can see why the god of war is an exciting lover but leaves your deeper needs unmet—and he’s forever marching off to war! Mars is all about meeting his needs first, then perhaps paying attention to yours.
You’re built for grace, not speed.
Known for your good taste, elegance and charm, you’re a born diplomat and make an excellent counselor—especially in matters of the heart. You gather lots of experiences in the infamous balancing act between His-needs Her-needs. But this tilting of the scales will wear on your sweet disposition—then your strong leadership skills come into play as you raise your voice to say, "enough!"
People won't see this coming! Which is why you've earned the reputation as a velvet glove covering an iron fist.
Interior and Exterior Designer
Beautiful surroundings contribute to your peace of mind, and conversely you do not function well in a discordant environment. Which, along with your natural gravitation toward beauty and art, make you an excellent designer of spaces as well as clothing. Of course you are highly creative. If you find yourself in the fine arts, an earth sign planet must also be present to keep you grounded enough to make it a career. You seek harmony, beauty and balance in all things, including the art you create.
Indecision
"On the other hand..." is your mental mechanism for making decisions. You are a master at weighing both sides of any issue, making it appear that you're indecisive. Actually, you're just looking for the fairest outcome in the land.
A close friend might figure out that when a quick decision is needed, the best way to interrupt your constant balancing act is to try to tell you what to do! Your lovely hairs bristle when someone else tries to make up your mind for you. The result is good for both of you—you'll instantly decide on what you want to do!
A natural peace-maker, you enjoy using your skilled diplomacy to find justice in any situation—unless the conflict gets ugly, then you're out.
The Sun begins his stay in Libra at the Autumn Equinox, when there is an equal balance of day and night, of light and darkness. Perfect balance! The Libra dream come true!
SUN in Scorpio☀
(October 24th to November 21st, 2022)
Your Sun Sign is how you shine in the world. It provides the solar power for your purpose in this lifetime.
With your Sun in Scorpio you wield enormous power through your keenly penetrating sight and personal magnetism. Like looking at the smooth surface of a deep crater lake, others see only the calm waters covering the unfathomable depths of your feelings and intuitive powers. You possess a potent resourcefulness for understanding both the light and the dark in human nature.
Issues of sexuality, death, rebirth and transformation--all the deepest mysteries of life--are your domain.
Intense desires and tremendous emotional force power the way you interact with others--particularly in romance.
Magnetic
Mystical

Like Lady Gaga

And after he's been hooked, I'll play the one that's on his heart”

SUN in Sagittarius ☀
(November 22nd to December 21st, 2022)
Your Sun Sign is how you shine in the world. It provides the solar power for your purpose in this lifetime.
"Don't Fence Me In"
A love of the outdoors is one way you satisfy your need to roam. You have some natural gypsy energy that suits your “rolling stone gathers no moss” way of being in the world.
The movie Chariots Of Fire is an example of the Sagittarius archetype. Running for the pure joy of it.
On the rare occasion (ie when trapped in a desk job) that you become “possessed” by ego’s monkey mind, your high standards of honesty can take a back seat to a search for immediate excitement, anyway you can. Like yelling “Fire!” just to get things moving.
Truth Teller
Straightforward and honest fly the arrows of truth from your free-spirited Sagittarian energy. You have a natural ability to utilize the power of positive thinking. Your meant to be an enthusiastic explorer of life.
Truth + Optimism = Enthusiasm
Some will call you impulsive when you blurt out an uncensored remark. But to you there’s no such thing as telling too much truth.
Plus, thinking before speaking is a waste of time!
With your Sun in Sagittarius fire you have a love of traveling in foreign realms— either on this planet or in the higher realms of mind.
Zealous Crusader
“The emperor has no clothes on!” In its highest manifestation your Sagittarius energy motivates you to be a tell-it-like-it-is crusader—an evangelist for whatever cause stirs your spirit. Get out your soap box!
You’re an excellent teacher, and often appear to be an absent-minded professor. You shine in the realm of higher education.
You're rarely subtle about anything, and usually quite outspoken about the truth.
You have a knack for pole-vaulting over a sticky problem.
Occasionally impulsive, you can quickly jump to conclusions. But this often lands you smack dab in the middle of an insight that can be quite prophetic.
You have a gift for coaching teams and groups—especially athletics.
You’re a sprinter. Whether in your mind or on the earth, the nature of your Sagittarius fire is like a wildfire—
quick to start
fast to travel on to new fuel
hot with the friction from abrupt transformations
Your life path is one expansive adventure after another. And you’d prefer to do it all with 76 Trombones & a Big Parade.
Jovial Jupiter Is Your Muse
Aided by Jovial Jupiter, the mythological god of good fortune (and plain ol' dumb luck!), you'll always have a benefactor bringing you eleventh-hour help to achieve your goals.
You have a generosity of spirit, and you’ve likely learned early on that giving and receiving are one beautifully endless loop.
Friends may see you as lucky. And you are! But it’s not woo woo magic—your optimism brings good fortune.
And the money for travel. It’s your great love—especially if it takes you to foreign lands. In fact, that’s very likely where you find your mate.
You love adventure also serves to guard you own freedom. Your tagline for life might be, "Don't Fence Me In." This is not always compatible with making a commitment in a partnership—especially a romantic one.
Philosopher King or Queen
You have a gift for philosophy.
You embody the archetype of Plato's Philosopher King— a leader who has a love of knowledge and the intelligence and reliability to use it well on behalf of living a simple yet profound life.
