<\/dt>\nHolistic discernment is a tall order. It’s not really multi-tasking. It’s handling whatever details a particular moment presents so as to keep the big picture together.<\/p>\n
In order to keep the big picture together, you have to see it. It means knowing your most enduring priorities and formulating long-term objectives.<\/p>\n
As is so often the case with a planet entering a sign, Mercury will show you the apparent theme of its subsequent tenure by the first aspect it makes when it comes home to Virgo — one of the two places on the zodiac Mercury rules, along with Gemini.<\/p>\n
Mercury will ingress its Virgo domain\u00a0only minutes after the Moon enters the sign of its exaltation — earthy Taurus. That means both Mercury and the Moon will be implicitly expressing strongly while simultaneously forming a near-exact earth trine aspect.<\/p>\n
Fundamental astrology tells us that the the first aspect an object makes when entering a sign is important and indicative. That’s a holistic perspective. The reason for the importance attributed and the indications assigned are to be found in the details.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As regarding Mercury’s entrance into Virgo tomorrow, the details consist of the archetypes Mercury and the Moon represent, as well as what common element connects Virgo to Taurus.<\/p>\n
When it comes to multi-tasking planets, Mercury is without equal. Manifestations of mind, thinking, communication, transportation and electronic gizmos are just some of the ways Mercury shows up in your life. What nearly all representations of Mercury have in common, however, is a means or a need to discern.<\/p>\n
The Moon, on the other hand, correlates with the body more than the mind. The lunar brush also tends to be very broad. What you feel, as well as personal (even inexpressible) issues of comfort, safety, nourishment, childhood and reverie prevail when the Moon comes down to Earth.<\/p>\n
And they come together through astrology’s earthly element that both the Moon and Mercury will occupy tomorrow. While trine aspects are not quite the same thorough merger of energies that conjunctions (two objects in the same degree of the same sign) are, the sign element in common between planets in a trine does tends to open a clear channel between them.<\/p>\n
The trine connection between objects in the same degree of different signs with the earth element in common tends to be of the ear-to-ground variety. If you have ever actually put your ear to the ground, you know how doing so connects you with widely separated events to give you a bigger picture than nearly any other use of your un-augmented senses.<\/p>\n
Similarly, tomorrow’s earth trine from the physically oriented Moon to mental Mercury will support a big-picture perspective of mind and body as fundamentally one and the same. From such a personal, yet readily discernible experience, you can proceed to a wider application.<\/p>\n
You can work to see the entanglements instead of the compartmentalizations in other areas of your life. Doing so will help you to discern how your choices at any given moment can (and probably should) be made with more than just the moment in mind.<\/p>\n
If there is anything to the idea that Mercury’s ingress tomorrow will provide you with a holistic picture of its entire tour of Virgo, you will be able to employ the protocol of seeing entanglements to your advantage on a day-to-day basis for the rest of this month.<\/p>\n
You will know you did something right if, sometime before the end of August, you are able to look back on Mercury’s entrance to Virgo and say to yourself: “I was here then.” Should that happen, you will also have a taste of the truly profound potential holistic discernment entails.<\/p>\n
