Odysseus has been traveling through the sign of Virgo since last August and is set to make an exit around the 23rd of this August. The year-long task you’ve been assigned during this period requires the use of intelligence, strategic planning, and problem solving applied with extreme precision, practicality and attention to detail. Considering that it took Odysseus ten years of war and ten years of travel to return home, it stands to reason that your undertaking has involved considerable delays or challenges to your perseverance through some kind of battle, struggle, or hindrance that made it difficult to get back to a place dearly cherished. In your own personal journey, what stands in the way of your sign reaching “home”?
Aries | 6th House| Navigating issues centering around daily work, routines, service, or health issues calls for precise self-correction, careful strategy, and avoiding over-analysis. “Falling asleep” on the job resulting in tactical failures that lead to mistakes or loss in the work force. Viewing subordinates as merely tools and the means to achieve an end. Miscalculations that put the health of self and others at risk.
Taurus | 5th House | Organized structure and self discipline in matters of creativity or self employment. Need for improvement in self-expression and relationships with children and/or lovers by relinquishing control, worry, criticism, and perfectionism. The surrender to comfort and desire that frequently derails the long range goal in favor of immediate gratification.
Gemini | 4th House | The use of analytical coping mechanisms to manage long periods of feeling unsettled, displaced, or ungrounded at home and to address the need to repair or improve the relationships and environments that serve as the secure foundation of your life. Complacency or distraction that causes you to frequently lose sight of immediate duty to family and those under your charge.
Cancer | 3rd House | Problem-solving related to local travel, close relatives, neighbors, and surrounding environment through figuring out complex information, data, or paperwork. Statements borne of pride that result in having to take the longest, most arduous route instead of the shortest path toward the intended objective. Selfish curiosity focused on what can be gained that ultimately results in loss.
Leo | 2nd House | Financial survival reliant on strategic budgeting, resourcefulness, and meticulous calculation under pressure, as well as concern for “appropriate behavior” that aligns with a core value system. Manipulation of sacred social contracts and reliance on a self-serving definition of honor that clashes with communal well-being when it comes to survival.
Virgo | 1st House | A personal image projected as sharp intelligence, quiet vigilance, and a hyper-analytical coping mechanism to new environments. A life approach that sometimes poses the danger of costing others because of pride, hubris, or the failure to listen.
Libra | 12th House | Hidden struggles or periods of emotional exile and isolation handled through inner mental strategy. The excessive need for validation and confirmation of self value that taunts you into self-sabotaging behaviors. Tests of loyalty through extreme secrecy or lies that prolongs the needless suffering of others.
Scorpio | 11th House | Practical, analytical support offered to your community. Long held goals or ideals take longer to achieve than expected. Friendships and group goals are tested by time; calculated detachment, emotional withdrawal and the over-analyzation of social dynamics creates distance between you and allies. Avoiding taking full ownership of mistakes, and instead, blaming the crew.
Sagittarius | 10th House | Career success comes from hard work, quiet persistence, and outmaneuvering professional obstacles with skill. Deep-seated need for recognition and glory that jeopardizes the journey and those who work to support it.
Capricorn | 9th House | Long-distance travel or higher education involves a quest for practical knowledge, meticulous planning, and endurance. Willingness to explore dangerous situations for the novelty of the experience despite the possibility of casualties. The constant desire for adventure that reveals a tragic inability to find peace or remain still.
Pisces | 8th House | Shared resources demand judicious management, caution, and analytical endurance. Master strategist at outmaneuvering others in psychological warfare. Recognition of self vulnerability to transform potentially lethal traps into advantageous power. Ruthless justification for the sacrificing of others.
