Focus Please. Focus Damn It!
Mercury in Virgo makes an excellent trine to Saturn in Capricorn today, expanding our sense of duty and daily work commitments. Mercury likes to multitask but Saturn will have none of it. He demands that we pay attention to the task at hand. And I don’t mean the to do list in front of you, I mean the long term goals set for you to create a more secure foundation. Things like “get out of debt” or “graduate from law school” or “finish business plan and present to funders”. The big picture and the little picture merge today, and Saturn asks that you do tasks that actually help bring you closer to these long term goals instead of wasting time like you usually do, haha. That’s me laughing, not Saturn. Everyone wastes time in Saturn’s eyes, so don’t take it too personally, but still, get to work! Photo by Kevin Ku on Unsplash

Be Active
If you don’t have a job to do or a goal at hand you are going to feel out of sorts today. The Sun and Mars conjoin in Virgo giving us a ton of energy to take care of business, whether that’s tackling a hike or a long overdue project. Any sort of physical activity today is welcome and highly recommended. You should feel stamina and the desire to move today, even if it’s not your normal habit. And if it’s not your normal habit this would be a great day to embark upon a new plan on improving your health and fitness through physical activity. For those of us who have the day off, let’s enjoy it by exploring nature in an active, energetic manner! Photo by Ev on Unsplash
The New Moon in Virgo happens on Friday, August 30th. I prepared this ritual for The Rich Witch FaceBook Group. If you are interested please join us!
This ritual can be done the day or two before the new moon, the day of, and up to three days after the new moon. For added power you can repeat the ritual three days in a row. I will be posting more about the nature of this new moon on Friday. Until then I would love to hear your thoughts on this ritual or any ritual of your own that you like to do under the new moon. The hermit represents the need to find a light in the darkness. We all know what darkness is, metaphorically speaking. Sometimes we feel very alone but the only way for us to learn how to deal with those feelings and authentic manner is to look within.
There is this quote I love, although I forget the source. So let me paraphrase: “The only thing we all have in common with each other is how alone we all are.” This quote is not meant to be depressing, rather, it’s to remind us that this loneliness is a part of being human, and that we all must learn to navigate it on our own terms. Looking within, calling upon the intuitive voice, sitting in silence, engaging in walking mediation, candle gazing, and so many other activities bring us closer to the inner voice of wisdom. It’s the small voice that we all have. But we all must practice listening to it if we wish to connect more fully. And some of us need more practice than others! LOL! But seriously. The only way to peace is inward. And once we determine the inner landscape and figure out how to navigate the hills and valleys, rivers and oceans of our inner world are we able to create a sense of lasting inner peace. Once we have found inner peace then, and only then, can we use our inner light as a guide for others, much like the light from The Hermit’s lantern goes in all directions. So too can our own inner peace spread to light the way for those around us, so that they, too, can figure out the road within themselves and find their own sense of inner peace. What are your thoughts on The Hermit? If you have an image of The Hermit from a deck you love I would love to see it! My card is from the Robin Wood Tarot and is surrounded by Samadhi Quartz on the top and Celestite below. Enter Priestess
Mercury enters Virgo today along with his brothers and sisters who are already in residence there (Venus, Mars, Sun and Juno). Even the moon joins them later today making a huge group in the innocuous sign of Virgo. But this is a time for your inner priestess (or priest) to emerge and recognize the natural sacredness of our everyday lives. It doesn’t need to be fabulous or over the top for it to be holy and special. Mercury is the thoughts we think and the words we say and at this time it is even more important that we are focused on the proper message that suits our soul evolution. We must minister to ourselves in the manner. Accept the job. Photo by timJ on Unsplash
