The Sun is a star with a tremendous amount of light and intelligence. In Vedic Astrology, Sun symbolizes your soul, activity, the king, and your father.
From September 16th through October 16th, Sun will be transiting through Virgo. Virgo is the most practical and detail-oriented of the signs. It is ruled by Mercury, a planet of intellect, communication, business, and wealth.
In Sanskrit, Virgo is called Kanya. Virgo is symbolized by a virgin in a boat with grains in one hand and a light in the other. The virgin symbolizes purity and love of the Goddess energy. Grains are the staff of life, which show us that Virgo energy includes being in touch with how to survive. Light is higher consciousness.
Sun in Virgo is going to give you the energy to pay attention to and take action to perfect the practical details of life. Jupiter is also transiting Virgo, bringing wisdom and blessings into the process.
Virgo brings in energies of striving for perfection, managing the details, doing service, health, purification, and impeccability. It can give you a strong mind to remember facts and details. Logical thinking including analyzing and criticizing, and technical knowledge thrive here. Another important theme for Virgo is perfection through purification. Be careful not to go into worry or excessive criticism. Embrace your intelligence and skills.
Virgo reminds us that deep within matter is pure Divine energy. Virgo is associated with Goddess energy, including siddhi (supernatural) powers. The powerful 9 Nights of the Goddess, or Navaratri, will be bringing in a flood of Goddess energy beginning October 1st.
Virgo is the natural 6th house of the zodiac. 6th house energy may include having to address problems like disease, enemies, debt, and litigation. It also includes service. If any of these issues come up for you, take practical action to resolve the problems. The 6th house can improve over time. Once you have a strong 6th house, you will be able to overcome enemies, have good health, get rid of debts, and do good service to help others.
For extra help, invoke Muruga by chanting his mantra Om SaRaVaNaBaVa on Tuesdays or during Mars horas on any day. Pour milk/water/juice over a vel as you chant his mantra. And remember, Ganesha the obstacle-removing god is very powerful now. Call on him by chanting Om Gum Ganapataye Namaha. Roll and break a coconut in his name, or roll and cut limes to remove karma and obstacles. Another powerful remedy when you experience challenges is to do selfless service – do something to help others.

- Pay attention to the big power times:Ancestors’ Fortnight: Mahalaya is a two-week period (September 17 – 30) when your ancestors all come to the earth plane and stay with you. Just imagine if all the living and deceased family members that you know came to stay with you and hang out with you 24/7 for two weeks. It could be a fun experience, and there could also be some stress and strain. Now consider that all us us have literally thousands of ancestors, many of whom may have led difficult lives of suffering. These two weeks are the best time to daily tarpanam offerings to your ancestors and receive blessings from them. By offering tarpanam, your ancestors will be cleansed of their karmas and cross into the light. Then they will bless you to clean up your life, too!
