What works today is spontaneous, ingenious, and original; what doesn’t is anything where we go primal, listening to the instincts and turning the brain to OFF. Wisdom has the support of our sense of personal authority and competence, higher mind and invention has the support of wisdom, and though our perceptions of the real world may be off (askew from hurt, recent power struggles, or obstacles not clearly recognized) they will respond positively to any investment (energy, talents, assets) we choose to make toward ambition or goal realization, or desire fulfillment.

Good day to . . . follow the kind of impulse that comes with a *spark* of ingenuity or genius–and yet, not a good day to act blindly and impulsively. It’s up to you to weigh the impulse itself. Here’s a hint: if the group would support the action or choice, it’s likely (at least today) the right one.

For those born with the Sun at 05 Virgo. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–together these offer a more complete picture of your year ahead). This solar year, dear Virgo, through to your next birthday, your challenge, right, and gift is all the same: to remove any personal conflicts that hold you back from accepting your own power and authority. It’s time to honor yourself as a Force of Nature, to accept your the role(s) life has assigned you, and to make the most of those. Remember, you are in charge of you, and it’s your job, no one else’s, to create the avenues for expression and empowerment that are truly ‘You’. You have the ability to transform both yourself and the landscape, this year–make sure you use it! Good luck!
