The Sun in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces tomorrow on September 19th, 2023.
This is often experienced as a more difficult transit as Neptune, god of the seas, opens the floodgates of emotions like grief, uncertainty, overwhelm, sadness, anxiety, and the sense that what we most want out of life is way over there, out of reach and unattainable.
If you struggle with depression or anxiety, this is a good time to reach out to your support system, to self-soothe in non-harmful ways, and to be gentle with yourself, not expecting too much.
Most of us are scared of emotions like sadness and despair, as contacting them can feel like a never-ending hole of darkness. But, the more we can turn towards these feelings rather than away, the more we can hold the parts of us that are longing to be held, to be seen, to be heard, and to be known.
Just as every child deserves the loving attention of an adult, so do you too, deserve the loving attention of your SELF- the core part of you that doesn’t end— that is pure, loving, eternal, and good.
Side note** This transit may also manifest more literally/physically such as having to deal with flooding or other technical water system problems.
It’s a time to rest and take a break from the realities of this world, as this transit suggests having over-stressed your nervous system.
Get in a flow state, whatever that is to you! Whether it be dance, music, meditation, chess, movies, romance novels, or anything else, find the activity that transports you to that timeless place where you just get to exist, without tasks or to-do lists or the other things Virgo thrives on (and that we so need for daily functioning!)
If you discover disappointments or disillusionments, welcome those too. If you find unrealized dreams or longings, say hello!
And maybe observe the thoughts that weave stories in our heads that so often lead to our suffering.
Consider these possibilities: that you are exactly where you need to be…
that you are perfect as you are…
that you too deserve compassion…
Consider the possibility for love to be the gem hidden in your pain when you turn towards it with open arms.
