The Moon is in Virgo until Wednesday, August 23, 2017 at 9:05 PM EDT.

**NOTE -- I write only one (1) Daily Horoscope for all 12 Sun Signs. The Monthly, Yearly and Generational Horoscopes are tailored to each of the 12 Sun Signs.

The BIG NEWS today is the Sun moves into Virgo 'The Specialist' and Mars trines Saturn 'The Intense Worker'. So here we have an intense worker who specializes. Is that you? Could that be you? Are you doing something that no one else is doing? I happen to believe that we are all 'specialized' individuals and that we all have gifts, talents and skills that are unique to ourselves. While you might have the same gifts, talents and skills as someone else, there is something 'unique' within you that separates you from others. I have ALWAYS believed this about myself, but then again, I am a North Node Virgo (The Specialist) so I would believe that about myself. While I am an extremely competitive person, I am competitive with myself, not really anyone else. I am running my own race, my own numbers and my own daily routine. I am me and they are them. I also believe there is no competition in 'Divine Mind' because we are all so incredibly and uniquely different. So for me, I am always on a personal-best-trek that 'I' tailor to my skillset.

We all have Virgo 'The Specialist' somewhere in our Natal Chart or Solar Return and this is where you should be tapping that energy. Even more, Mercury is Retrograde (Rx) in Virgo right now taking us backward in time where we will be repeating the beginning of Mercury in Virgo again. With the exception of August 31 to September 9, 2017 when Mercury has retrograded back into Leo, Mercury will be in Virgo the rest of the time that the Sun is in Virgo. While the words -- detailed, nit-picky, methodical, critical, nagging and analyzing are always associated with Virgo, perhaps in order to gain some real mileage out of this Virgo energy you should 'associate and apply' the words -- daily, habitual, specialized, specific, optimal, accurate and physical health. Look closely at the area of your chart ruled by Virgo apply those words. Get out your mental magnifying glass and get a closer look at yourself.

I do not use the word 'apply' lightly when speaking of Virgo energy. Virgo is that self-help book reader who will often times read the self-help book and put it back on the shelf and say, "Gee that was a great book!" Virgo is about 'daily' routine, regimen and habits. Virgo is supposed to 'apply' the information they learned. Virgo is the lab class that you always had to take in addition to your science classes. With Virgo there is ALWAYS a lab class where you have to actually apply the information.

So piecing this altogether, you should be applying your specialized gifts, talents and skills. I am North Node Virgo and Gemini Sun. Both Virgo and Gemini are naturally ruled by the planet Mercury, so writing a healthcare website is part of my specialized skillset. It's kind of a no-brainer. Even when I had my women's clinic, I still used Astrology to determine the route of treatment for my patients. While you and others may come to this website only for Astrology, it is my personal belief that Astrology is an important piece of one's healthcare that should not be overlooked. But of course I would think that because I am a North Node Virgo (healthcare). Astrology should be part of one's daily regimen in order to reach optimal health. Do you see the keywords in that sentence? Hippocrates said, "A physician without a knowledge of Astrology has no right to call himself a physician." The Virgo energy is your Natal Chart or Solar Return is going to tell you about your physical health and the Pisces in your chart will tell you about your mental health. So you see my dear mentators, your chart holds the keys for everything you need to know, do and be.

Virgo is an analyzer, and if you choose to over-analyze then that's on you. It's quite possible and likely that if you over-analyze then you will rarely get anything accomplished. Virgo is 'the procrastinator' of the zodiac because there is too much attention paid to details. We need Virgo energy to look at the details, but too much, is too dang much and leads to procrastination. Remember, Virgo is the 'lab class' and you must apply what you know in the lab. The lab is daily routine, the daily grind, daily habits and the daily regimen. You have to be able to apply what you have learned, otherwise have you really learned?
