Astrology Hot Zones for September 2004 - Virgo and Libra Conjunctions affecting our future

by Robert Wilkinson<
In previous articles I have explained the "hot zone" challenges for the mutable signs due to the ongoing Virgo-Pisces oppositions. This affects the areas in our charts with Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces and Virgo planets. Now we are confronted with Virgo compression conjunctions that are focusing all of us to a degree not felt in years. The last time was the Grand Compression in Taurus in early 2000, triggering the fixed energies in play since then. By examining where that huge conjunction in Taurus fell, you will get insights into your focus since then.

These compression conjunctions usher in an era of intense focus for the next three years wherever the Virgo-Libra cusp falls in our charts, since the Mars-Jupiter conjunction defines the scope of this compression. The multiple conjunctions between Sun, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter in the last degrees of Virgo and Libra One will give a huge liftoff booster to the chart area where this massive conjunction occurs.

For Aries and Aries Rising, it puts focus in the 6th house. For Taurus and Taurus Ascendant, the 5th house. Gemini - 4th house. Cancer - 3rd house. Leo - 2nd house. Virgo - 1st house. Libra - 12th house. Scorpio - 11th house. Sagittarius - 10th house. Capricorn - 9th house. Aquarius - 8th house. Pisces - 7th house. I won't go into specifics here, since that's beyond the scope of this article. Still, what I've offered should give some hints to those who want a larger understanding of this phenomenon.This major alignment also affects the areas in our charts ruled by Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Pisces. That's over half our reality! We shall all be freed from a narrow destiny by "an unexpected telephone call that frees us from routine duty." Sounds like a lot of us are going to be called to a different sort of "duty" from what we've been occupied with the past few months and years.

The way will certainly become very clear, since Virgo deals with perfection of form and Libra represents an ideal or icon to demonstrate a more perfect form of some archetype to humanity. The cusp of these signs will show the way that we've been functionally educated to fulfill an ideal of a transfigured form of "spiritual perfection."

Boiling it down to soup, expect huge changes and transfigurations in your life ideals and sense of who you are in the area of your chart where these conjunctions fall. We've all been educated in a way that shows our practical individuality. Now is the time when "the butterfly of our perfected self" will show its immortal form.
