There have been many planetary shifts within the last week, Uranus, Jupiter and the Moon entered Aries and now, Aries ruler enters the introspective, detail-oriented sign of Virgo.
The planet that rules a sign adds a layer of nuance to the sign's expression.
Here is a useful analogy. Think of a sign as a company and the planets in that sign as its employees. The company's owner is the planetary ruler.
If you've ever collected a paycheck then you know that every company has a company culture and each business has its values. The 'company culture' in this case is the expression of the sign. But it is modified or layered by the sign of its ruler.
In this case, Aries is the company, Mars is the owner and the current planetary 'employees' are Uranus, Jupiter, and, until 11:41 am Eastern tomorrow, the Moon. As 'company employees,' they will express themselves through the lens of Aries. So their expression will be fiery, direct, impatient, and action-oriented.
But when their company's owner or planetary ruler leaves Leo to enter Virgo it is as if the owner had a change of heart and decided to tone down his flamboyance and get serious and practical. He is now interested in looking at the numbers and other such niggling detail.
If you are an employee at such a company, then you, too, will probably soon be tasked with coming up with reports or being subjected to more exacting measurements.
You, too, may want to step back to check out the details and make appropriate adjustments.
The upshot is that Uranus and Jupiter, expressing themselves in typical in-your-face Aries fashion, become a little more critical and dispassionate. Virgo's exacting pragmatism and Aries' entrepreneurial, take-action-now styles do not mesh easily.
But, alas, that is what makes life so interesting.
