Mercury represents your conscious, rational mind; your intellectual self; your capacity to use mental energy; your ability to study, learn, analyze and communicate information; your capacity to form ideas and opinions; the way you deal with facts; and the way you process data.
When Mercury is in Virgo, the available mental energy is functioning in one of its best, most forthright forms. With Mercury in Virgo ideas are efficient, meticulous, and objective. With Mercury in Virgo, thinking emphasizes that which is precise, exacting, methodical, objective, practical, and demonstrably useful.
In Astrology, Uranus represents your urge to be free from rigid patterns, limitations, and structure; your sense of rebellion; your capacity for innovation, originality and inventiveness. Pisces is an energy that supports imagination, intuition, and reclusiveness. Uranus in Pisces is a planetary position that combines both these interests.
In Astrology, Jupiter represents your philosophical and ethical structures; your ability to claim and express your authoritative knowledge - often through teaching others by the example of your own life. Scorpio is an energy that encourages profitable investments with other people.
Jupiter represents your philosophical and ethical structures; your ability to claim and express your "authoritative knowledge" - often through teaching others by the example of your own life; your ability to expand your sphere of personal influence; your involvement with law and religion - and the "basic rules you live by."
It also represents your ability to share benevolently with others - thus your capacity for charitable efforts and contributions to promote the overall social progress you favor. It describes your ability to envision "the big picture" of life and commit yourself to expansive undertakings. Perhaps most significantly, it symbolizes your involvement with positive karma and the benefits you derive therefrom.
When Jupiter is in Scorpio, people begin to adjust their "philosophy of life" to accommodate more profound, complex ideas. With Jupiter in Scorpio, the cooperative climate that prevailed so nicely during Jupiter's transit through Libra has brought up a number of significant points, involving both agreement and disagreement -- ones that won't be easily swept aside any more. So confronting their sometimes disturbing truths becomes a necessary part of personal growth.
Oppositions are angles of 180° between two or more planets ... directly across from one another in the circle of the horoscope.
Oppositions are an aspect of blockage, frustration, and challenge. They represent the tension you must handle when other people's needs and agendas (particularly those in your close partnerships) conflict directly and sharply with your own. As the very description in the word suggests, oppositions represent a power struggle between two antagonistic agendas in your life ... yours -- and someone else's.
Oppositions contain elements of "disowned qualities" which other people are forcing you to confront and reintegrate into your character and life strategies. They can be very uncomfortable and upsetting as "in reality" it may look and feel like somebody else is forcing you to respond in ways that are not comfortable or characteristic for you. But an analysis of the actual dynamics of the situation will show you are trying to accommodate two conflicting (and possibly mutually exclusive) needs ... one that is familiar to you, and one that's not.
Oppositions, therefore, mark a time of growth and diversification in your life ... and if you know enough, are wise enough, and / or patient enough to really observe what is going on, your antagonist is showing you the personal qualities you need to develop and fortify in your own character in order to be more complete, more effective, and possibly better able to defend yourself in similar experiences in the future.
A sextile is an angle of 60° between two or more planets. Sextiles represent opportunities for the energy of one planet placement to make agreeable use of the energy of another planet placement -- in a kind of "mutual back-scratching" arrangement.
This is a very generic explanation of what this aspect means. Our Premium Members Section contains a concise, plain-English answer ... and detailed advisories describing what this means for each sign of the Zodiac as well as suggestions for working with this energy.
