VENUS IN VIRGO:Â AUGUST 24-SEPT. 18TH
 Venus will transit into Virgo on August 24th and it is a time for her to rest and for meditation for Libra and Taurus rising. Technically, it is debilitated here but that just means that it has to work three times as hard to get results. The debilitation is not canceled this year although if you go with Rahu as a co-ruler of Virgo, the aspect from Rahu will help.
It is a particularly difficult time for relationships as Venus tends to be too critical and picky in Virgo and this can lead to picking poor partners, being a victim in relationships, broken romances, problems with reproductive organs and bladder problems, and sugar imbalances and sometimes divorces if you get to a breaking point.
Venus in Virgo can bring out the “lusty” energy of Venus rather than the higher energies of artistic expression. If you give into this energy, you may find your creative juices drained further and this can be a challenge for artists designers professional dancers, and singers who count on Venus. Moderation is always the key with Venus in Virgo.
Relationship skills really will need a deep tweaking. The key will be to accept your partner in his/her imperfections and to avoid being too critical about things that bother you. Relationship is always about compromise and acceptance. Trying to change your partner usually does not work but use your skills to communicate your needs in a non-aggressive manner and find a way to compromise and you will get through. Let go of having to be right and arguing–it never works.
Venus governs business expansion and the desire to buy and in Virgo, these energies may be lessened. I often find the stock market will fall when Venus is in Virgo or that sales may drop so you have to work three times as hard with your creative marketing efforts during this time. Venus governs peace and diplomacy and given the fragile state of the world with the Israel and Hamas and the fact that Israel is Libra rising, Â this is a troubling transit.
The lion pose is connected to Venus and the second chakra of creativity and pro-creativity so you can do that pose if your creative juices seem at a low point.
Taurus and Libra Rising Sign people running Venus periods will have the most problems with this transit while Virgos and Capricorns may do best with it. Libra rising in particular will need to rest more, conserve energy, take more time for meditation, and go on spiritual retreats to balance out the yearly imbalance.

DETAILS AT: https://www.appliedvedicastrology.com/product/modern-foundations-course/
 Something for everyone here for those with no knowledge even deep enough material and new insights for those with more seasoned experience.  My goal is to modernize Vedic Astrology for the Western mind from a psychological and emotional basis so that we can understand the archetypes of the planets and signs and what we have chosen to learn in this lifetime. The emphasis for this class will be on understanding the unique qualities of each rising sign and how each sign has a set of planets that are helpful and some that distract.  This modern version will seek to go beyond good and bad judgments to understand the deep psychology of why certain things work and why they do not work by rising signs and what lessons we have to learn because of their placements. Even students of Vedic astrology will get new depths into planets and signs in this class and more.
This class is a foundation class to introduce the basics of Vedic Astrology to people who want to know more about understanding their chart and understanding the basics of reading a chart. It is a foundation class for taking further classes from Barry that are available by videotape and it requires no understanding of Vedic astrology at all. Additional Foundation courses to continue with are already available including Transits, Dasha, Nakshatras, Secrets of the Houses, and more.
Classes are available for replay on videotape or for missed classes.
