Kabbalistic Astrology:
ELUL (VIRGO)
The month of Elul is the completion of the lunar year. This month corresponds to the sign of Virgo, which is an earth sign and is ruled by Mercury. The sign of Virgo is connected to the practicality, working and serving others. People born in this month feel the need to achieve financial security through working, and also have a great need to serve society.
People under the sign of Virgo find success in community careers: as doctors, nurses, or any profession healing the body and the soul; as social workers, service technicians, bankers, accountants, and in professions of beauty and fashion.
The end of the lunar year expresses the Virgo’s need to check and criticize their actions, like a business man that reviews the year-end balance, profit and loss. That is how Virgos acquire their attribute of criticism.
It easier to criticize and see what is wrong with others, but much harder to do criticize oneself, and this is the real lesson Virgos should learn.
When is the correction of the Virgo complete? When they learn to love, honor and accept the other person as they are without criticism, judgment or trying to change them to their own criteria.
Once the Virgo achieves completely unconditional love, they have finished their correction.
Mercury in Hebrew is Kochav. Numerology value is Caf Vav = 26 = Yud Hei Vav Hei and Caf Bet = 22 = the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, which indicates that Mercury is a planet of communication.
Financially it is not an easy month. Many important change might happen, the need for new business ventures, different ones with new consciousness. International business connections can take place.
There is also a large incident of immigration in this month, where more people find the need to leave their homelands in order to go to new places, looking for their luck and to change their lives.
In personal relationships there are more international connections and meetings, which means there is more openness to go out of the family circle/tribe tradition to meet new and different people and nations.
There is a greater inclination to widen and enlarge the metaphysical vessel in order to better understand - through the kabbalistic understanding - the meaning of life, both in the personal and global realms.
