Astrological charts show temperament, character, behavior and experiences. Charts can be made for people, pets, relationships, events, businesses, cities and countries. Anything that has a timed beginning can become a chart for astrological interpretation.

The Sun in Virgo

August 24th, 2010 by Lindy Burke

News Update:

The Sun has just entered patient, modest, pragmatic Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22.) Virgos shine thru their amazing efficacy and dedication to service. Being a Mutual sign makes Virgo flexible and idealistic. As an Earth sign they are practical and concerned with tangible results. Your keen gift of discrimination pushes you to excel at whatever you do, making you a master craftsman. At times your sharp eye see the flaws in the works of others and in the name of perfection, you may inform them. Not usually a good idea, unless you’re the boss. You may feel that no one can do a job as well as you. Others figure this out and step back and let you do all the work. Isn’t that exhausting. Have a job or hobby you love and your hard work will pay the desired dividends.

For this birthday Virgos will have the opportunity to build practical, long term financial goals. Virgo is comfortable with slow and steady accumulation of security in the form of resources. This year may be particularly budget minded.

Till after 2011 relationships will remain of focus. Marriages, close friends, partners and clients benefit from your expansive attitude. Some relationships move to a higher level or pass out of your life, according to your need. Keep in your life only those who know your worth..

For everyone else:

With the Sun in Virgo we all can pay attention to and improve our daily routine, health, diet and exercise. If you have a project that requires sorting and deciding what to keep and what to let go; do it now.   Virgo energy will make it easy.

Mercury is retrograde as the Sun enters Virgo, which is good for quiet reorganizing and reworking.

The Cardinal Cross of August

August 18th, 2010 by Lindy Burke

Hello,

The Cardinal Cross (involving Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) that peaked Friday August 6th is slowly separating from its powerful aspects. We can breathe a sigh of relief and I hope everyone weathered weekend without too much stress. Changes abound in my client’s lives. Clients have been changing jobs, getting married (oh, dear!), moving, retiring, beginning new relationships, having reunions and completing projects of years duration.

Some have felt this energy more than others. In world news we’ve seen devastation by floods in Pakistan where 14 million people have been displaced. This catastrophe is said to have put the country back 50 years or more. Russia has had wild fires that destroyed villages, crops and livestock. Drought in other parts of Russia has destroyed 1/3 of their grain crops, which will be felt by the nations that depend on Russian wheat. In the US we have death in the Gulf of Mexico as well as floods, fires and droughts that exceed the norm.

On the positive note: bank regulations have been passed, continued relief for the unemployed and money to save jobs was approved.

But, there was no BIG event. Does that mean we’re home free? Well, no. The early Cardinal degrees remain sensitive and intense. They are cocked like a gun (a gigantic gun) and waiting for the pressure that will set it off. This trigger could be anything that crosses the early cardinal degrees; a new moon, an eclipse, the Sun,  Mars or solar flares. So we wait and watch. The power of this Cross lessens by the end of September. We’ll see what happens.

Examine your life. Is there anything outdated or limiting in your life. This is the time for action and change; considered and practical change. Let a new you emerge, just don’t burn any bridges yet.

This is a perfect time to clean out closets, files, cupboards and garages.  Clean out the whole house, your car and your office, then you’ll be working with the positive energies of this Cardinal Cross.

May love fill your heart and overflow.

PS

If you have an interesting story of last week, please share it with me.

Mercury Retrograde; The Trickster Returns August 21st – September 12th in the sign of Virgo Mercury rules Virgo, meaning Mercury is “at home in” and shares qualities with this sign. Virgo is practical and analytical which aids in the reexamination of ideas and actions that Mercury Rx requires. It is time to consider and reconsider, delaying action if you can. Because Mercury rules Virgo there may be increased difficulties on the job and with detailed communication. Delay medical procedures and begin a new job after Mercury goes direct. Mercury will be retrograde for about three weeks. This is the perfect time to be conservative and review all aspects of your life. Avoid making important decisions at this time as you’ll probably change your mind. When retrograde, all forms of communication are more likely to be misunderstood, so it’s best to avoid new projects or journeys to unfamiliar places. Mercury retrograde affects anything having to do with travel, as well as the means you use TO travel (car, train, boat, plane, spaceship…), these can all be problematic. Likewise, mail (including email) is often delayed, lost or misdirected. Computers, appliances and things with engines tend to break down. It’s a good time to do all things “re”: rewrite………redo………recall………rearrange………..reboot………..reconnect. Check the “re” words in the dictionary; those are the things to do. It is a good idea to check and recheck your plans. You absolutely don’t want to buy a car or computer during this time; too many tales too sad to tell. Forewarned is forearmed. Mercury retrograde causes difficulty with: • All communication: phone, fax, mail, speaking, etc. • Electronics and machines, especially computers • Forgetting things • Vehicles and travel • Missed appointments • Getting lost and losing things • Projects and people Put on your thinking cap and analyze everything. You’ll be glad you did. Revise and reconsider. Knowledge is power. Blessings, Lindy Burke mylindy@prodigy.net 714-998-6935 \

Powerful Eclipse on June 26th

June 25th, 2010 by Lindy Burke

Ready or not, here it comes.

There will be a Partial Lunar Eclipse on June 26, at 4:40 am PDT, in the sign of  Capricorn. This sensitive full Moon is conjunct powerful, transforming Pluto, so feelings run deep and things can go from edgy to dangerous. This can bring heightened and possibly challenging experiences to masses of people and anyone with important natal planets in Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn at 3 -5 degrees. These people may have incredibility intense feelings that are difficult to articulate. On a large and small scale the desire for control can lead to secrets and manipulations. The problem is that secrets made now will come to light later with serious consequences. Power struggles on all levels become intense. The effects of the eclipse are felt a few weeks before and six months after it occurs, so this energy will be with us for awhile. Handled well, this eclipse can bring tremendous healing and transformation on a vast scale.

The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto will all be involved in a stressful Grand Cross increasing the power of the eclipse. This Grand Cross lasts throughout the summer. Expect disturbing news in the media of natural and manmade crisis. Balance in our lives and in the world is important, along with the knowledge that we must do what is best for all, not just ourselves.
