October 2015 Astrology Update

WOOD PHOENIX (Rooster) MONTH until Oct 12

The solar eclipse in Virgo on Sept 12 began Phoenix month.

Virgo rules the sixth house of health, work, and service to others. Virgo is an intelligent and practical Earth sign ruled by Mercury. This lunar month is time to focus on health, nutrition, finances, and other earthly matters. We can creatively problem solve under the influence of analytical Virgo. This new Moon was a solar (new Moon) eclipse. An eclipse is an absence of light when the shadow is seen, making this lunar month ideal to release and let go of the past, heal, and transform. No more walking forward looking back. Call me at 415.642.8019 or email susan@susanlevitt.com to schedule your tarot, astrology, or feng shui consultation.
