Much like for Geminis, Mercury Retrograde can be a hellacious and enlightening time for you. Yet unlike Gemini, your nervous system isn’t quite wired to assimilate the sometimes jarring information as quickly. You like order and “MR” is anything but orderly in Gemini. You need to just let go and surrender in June. Don’t make any big plans or proclamations. Sports announcers love to use the analogy of a player staying within his or her own game, or letting the game come to them. These sayings are spot on for you in June. You can be a success if you don’t try to be a success. Find your spots and contribute when called upon. This is especially important in the realm of career. Steer far and wide away from gossip as well in the workplace. It’s a cancer for you and you don’t want to get anywhere close to rumor or innuendo. In fact, you might even be entrusted with some sort of secret that might make you very uncomfortable, like knowing that layoffs to a particular group or associates is in the wind and you cannot share the knowledge with anyone in the work place. Do some work behind the scenes for those that you really care about and see if you can help them land elsewhere? You can facilitate that kind of magic this month if you can simply not burst at the seams. Uranus goes backwards at the end of the month and you’ll have to deal with startling revelations about loved ones, but don’t worry, work will be a refuge by then and you’ll have one sector in your life that you’ll be able find balance in.

You are blessed and cursed as Saturn makes you the whipping gal of the cosmos, forcing you to focus on details and getting things in order, but you’re a step or two ahead of everyone else in that regard. Imagine yourself as Noah getting everything together in the ark of your life, preparing for the tide to rise and meet it with safety and surety. You can take some of that energy and reach out to your local community and make sure that you have the goods and wherewithal to survive any type of tsunami that might befall your extended family and friends. The new moon in Taurus is a great time to dream practical dreams, of how you would change the world in concrete and useful ways. When the moon goes full in Scorpio, you’ll have an opportunity to put some of those plans in action as you wow associates with your deep insight, preparation and planning. You’re a transformer and an alchemist transmuting service into higher knowledge and applied leadership. Keep you head down and spirits high and remember that, “the meek shall inherit the Earth.”

Saturn is still your stern schoolmarm. How many times do you have to metaphorically write that “you are good and you deserve success” before you finally get it? Well, that time may be coming soon, or at least you’ll get a chance to road test all of the inner work you’ve been putting in. But that doesn’t really come around until the end of the month. Aries is churning in the house of transformation for you and issues around sexuality, life, and death have an almost obsessive pull in your life. Normally staid and socially conservative, Virgos look like they are ready to take a walk on the wild side. Don’t be surprised if your Virgo BFF’s confess to some dark secret or three in April. While it might be liberating for the virgin to be less than virtuous, Virgos often carry around the guilt reservoir for the rest of the zodiac, so be careful. And if you’re going to cross some lines be ready to deal with the consequences both within and without.

Pluto is really your ally right now as it gives expanded powers and a stronger sense of self to all Virgos born during the last week of August. While these Virgins will feel it the most, all Virgos are experiencing a power surge. March allows you to take that power and become an advocate of change in the world at large. You can move mountains and re-shape your professional associations with a surgical efficiency that’s your stock in trade. Just make sure that you keep that occasionally bitchy internal critic in check and that you do what you do out of love, not out of projecting your faults onto the rest of us.

Other astrological events for March 2008

Work, work, work, work—that’s what’s on your plate right now and you are the great multi-tasker of the cosmos at present. Watch as Virgo juggles home, career, heck two careers, personal-health, hobbies and more with aplomb. You’re organized and up for the challenge. Saturn’s driving you to finally cop to the fact that you know more than everyone else and now you have to prove it. Virgo is here to be of service, but right now, keeps those plates spinning, balls moving, flaming pins flying, sabers soaring, all on one leg while sipping green tea and you’ll be just fine.

Get ready Virgo, especially those born in late August. When Pluto sidles up to Capricorn the bookkeeper of the cosmos has the power to become CEO. Your keen intellect and attention to detail will soon be on display and you’ll be in demand. Don’t worry you can handle the power surge. Never a sign to openly display hubris for an extended period of time, your unassuming attitude will actually be a blessing as those in power bestow more on you as a result. That’s how it’s going be–along with a rush of creative fuel that gives anything you do a deep and dramatic flair. While you’re on the express elevator to the top, take an art class or two, fall in love and play–keep the world smiling—we’ll need it.
