Mercury Enters Virgo
Mercury Enters Virgo
A sound mind is a sound body. Juvenal
As Mercury enters its home sign of Virgo, you’ll have an excellent opportunity to get mental clarity on a specific area of your life. Mercury is the fastest moving planet and is also closest to the Sun, so you can expect to see results sooner than later. If you’d like to learn a new skill or have an important test or examination, Mercury’s influence will sharpen your mind and strengthen your focus. It’s a great influence for teachers, students, writers, or any specialist who needs precision and logic to succeed.
If you are a dancer, athlete, or movement specialist, you’ll benefit from refining your technique. Perfectionism is Virgo’s domain, so if you’ve developed a bad habit, now is a great time to correct it and find out what really works, which will likely be unique to your own experience.

“Don’t Dance for the Audience, Dance for Yourself” — Bob Fosse
“Don’t Dance for the Audience, Dance for Yourself ” Bob Fosse
Taking a deeper look into his chart, it’s clearly revealed dance was indeed the ticket to Fosse’s legacy. With the Sun in perfect sextile to Terpsichore (asteroid # 81) both in quincunx to Saturn-the infamous magical atrological pattern is revealed- ‘the Yod’, better known as the ‘Finger of God’. In Fosse’s Case, God’s finger points directly to hard work, professionalsim, achievement, and legacy- all infamous virtues of Saturn.
Saturn’s placement in Sagitarius in the ninth house (the Archer’s natural arena) emphasizes faith and spirituality – and is not easily expressed through the confines of Saturn’s critical gaze and high expectations. It’s likely that although Fosse was adulated by his colleagues and fans, he was never fully satisfied or deeply believed in himself-but he didn’t have to- thanks to the perfect sextile between the Sun and Terpsichore.
Known as the “opportunity aspect”, the sextile (60 degree angle) is akin to two planets shaking hands in strong agreement. In Fossey’s case, his Cancer Sun and Taurus Terpsichore signifies a beautiful parternship of soul with sensuality, topped off with a refined aesthetic- (due to Venus’s rulership of Taurus). Fosse intuitively knew how to make a dancer look great while also emitting irresistible visceral energy. Undoubetdly this was the gift of his Sun Terpsichore sextile- a planteary agreement that set off a divine spark and unleashed unstoppable positive momentum.
Some people are just born to be dancers; Bob Fosse was definately one of them.

Solar Eclipse in Cancer, Home to Her~
Solar Eclipse in Cancer
Home is not a place- it’s a feeling, Cecelia Ahern
This Solar Eclipse is especially powerful as it arrives with the Summer Solstice, when the Sun (the galaxy’s brigthest star) rises to its highest distance from the earth, at the top of the northern hemisphere, also known as the Tropic of Cancer. It marks the longest day of the year and the first day of Summer.
Cancer is a sign of royalty, fertility, emotional intelligence, and nurturance. You can expect this eclipse to usher in a new emotional chapter in your life. You’ll likely feel a strong urge to make a fresh start in a particular area of your life, this eclipse is also especially strong arriving at the very beginning of Cancer at 0 Degrees, also known as the Aries point.
This will intensify the Cancerian influence, and because Cancer is a cardinal sign, you’ll likely want to forge powerfully ahead, even if you don’t yet have a clear direction.
This is a beuatiful time for an intuitive breakthrough that can guide you directly to your north star~

Alvin Ailey, A True Capricorn Spirit~
Alvin Ailey
Born January 5, 1931
Capricorn Sun & Terpsichore, Cancer Moon, Sagittarius Ascendant
The creative process is not controlled by a switch you can simply turn on or off; it’s with you all the time. Alvin Ailey
Alvin Ailey’s horoscope is a wild display of legacy, life long commitment, and courageous leadership. When looking at his photo I can not help be see the resemblance of the goat persona Capricorn is so famous for. His piercing eyes, his chiseled jawline, and perfectly trimmed ‘ goatee’. He is the quintessential goat not only in image but also soul and spirit, as his chart clearly reveals.
What’s most striking in his chart is the intimate connection between the Sun and Saturn at 14 degrees of Capricorn. In astrology this tight planetary embrace is known as cazimi or “in the heart of the Sun”. When a planet is “in the heart of the Sun”, its power is amplified and adds a special charisma to the Sun’s rays.
In Mr. Ailey’s case the connection is even more powerful as Saturn happens to also be the ruler of Capricorn, the zodiac’s most serious sign. Saturn is also known as the ruler of “fate” and points to one’s destiny. It is a planet that rewards hard work with lasting achievement. Now, moving toward yet another decade in the 21st century, the Ailey Spirit continues to shine brightly, as if indeed in the heart of the Sun.
It’s Sagittarius Season!
The Sun Dances in Sagittarius~
Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul – and sings the tunes without the words – and never stops at all. Emily Dickenson, Sagittarius
With the Sun now in Sagittarius, the zodiac’s most optimistic sign, have trust in the power of your faith, and you’ll see positive changes, especially in regards to a legal settlement, citizenship matter or ethical concern. Doing what you know in your heart to be right, just, and true-this is what the fiery energy of Sagittarius is all about. Go all out, and go big, as Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the largest planet of the solar system. If you can imagine yourself in a higher, grander place, whether it involves your career, creativity, or social circle, take the first step- and soon enough serendipity will likely inspire you to take a big leap. Who knows- you may even up dancing on your toes!
