Virgo: organize your mind!


As I was studying a chart, I suddenly realized that I didn't remember what Virgo was all about!
This is what happens when you read deep thinkers like Liz Greene and a few others. You might get lost in a labyrinth of nuances and additional information and end up completely confused.
To put a bit of order in my mind, I had to establish a proper classification.


For that purpose, I used key questions.

The first key question is: "What?"
What is Virgo about?
To this, three main keywords answer: Work, Health, Service. Let's also keep in mind that the ruler is Mercury, planet of the mind.
From these keywords, a few other important key words can be logically deduced: Skills for instance, is necessary for work.
Profession, skills, body, mind-body connection, medicine, hygiene, herbs, chores, daily routine, natural rhythms, organization, hierarchy... Virgo and the sixth house are about all these themes.
Strangely, little animals and uncles/aunts are also included in the 6th house package. Little animals may have to do with the inferior status which is associated with the notion of service.


The second key question is "How?"
How are Virgos?
The key words here can also be logically deduced from the "What" key words.
Professional, critic, common sense, adaptable, hard working, organized, rational, humble or suffering from inferiority complexes (whilst being sure to be right) self contained...
Health and perfectionism lead Virgo to the waiting room of their GP after reading with too much attention a medical encyclopedia.
A Virgo quotation: "Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” (Gospel, Luke 14-11)


The third key question is "Who?" ...
What kind of person is a typical Virgo? Conjuring up characters is a way to use the right brain and retrieve intuitive information about the Virgo energy.
A doctor, a nurse, a scientist, a herbalist, a dietitian, a servant, a worker, an artisan, a physiotherapist, an accountant, a housemaid, a seamstress...


It is possible to use other questions to find other information, for instance: Where? Where do we find Virgo energy in activity? In the kitchen, in the laboratory looking into a microscope, in the cellar, in the hospital, in the workshop or the office...
Doesn't it feel good to have all bits of knowledge nicely tagged and organized into logical categories? Now, I can learn more about Virgo and I will know how to articulate anything new to my already existing knowledge...

If you have never looked at a chart before

Hello there! I'm really happy to explain, I love explaining things! If you are a beginner in the study of astrology, I am writing for you.  I expect you to know the symbols of the signs and planets, if you don't, you can find them here https://www.astro.com/astrology/in_kdhoros_e.htm On this same website, you can get your own birthchart done for free. You need your date and precise time of birth (more or less five or ten minutes, exact if possible) and your place of birth. Go here https://www.astro.com/cgi/ And now, let me explain. A birth chart is like a big clock with two dials and ten hands. The first dial is made up of the twelve signs. Inside the circle formed of the twelve signs, you can see the symbols of the planets. For instance, in my own chart, the Sun (The circle with a very small circle at its center) is placed in Scorpio (The kind of M ending up with an arrow) The small numbers near the planets indicate the exact degree of the sign where they sit. My Sun is at 1...

The karmic indicators in the birth chart

1 South Node and North Node. The Moon Nodes are always exactly opposite in the chart. The South Node (also called Ketu) represents the energy coming from our past lives, or from our family/ancestry/genetic inheritance..  It is an energy we are familiar with and needs to be balanced by the opposite energy of the North Node. The North Node (also called Rahu) represents where we are called, where we will gain the greatest satisfaction...provided we dare taking up the challenge and step out of the South Node comfort zone. The Nodes are placed in opposite signs and houses as well. The meaning of the Nodes in houses is equivalent the the placement in the analog signs, for instance: my South Node is in Aquarius and in the 8th house. My North Node is therefore in Leo and the second house. My karmic path in sign is from Aquarius to Leo, and in house from the 8th to the 2nd, which is equivalent to a Scorpio to Taurus path. (As Scorpio is the 8th sign of the zodiac and Taurus the se...

The wounded healer

Image
Chiron, in mythology, is the wounded healer. Mythology pushes things to the extreme, so the fact that the wound can't be cured in the myth should not scare us. Myths are stories. When we are wounded, especially psychologically, we learn a lot; pain is has always been a  great motivation to try to understand what's going on.  The more we try to understand the more we know, and before we are able to sort out our own problems, we become able to understand and help those who have  similar problems, but not as deeply as ourselves...  This Buddha feels like Chiron don't you think? The psychotherapist or healer may have great difficulties in their personal life. If they have a healthy attitude, they won't hold others responsible, they won't play victim or use all kinds of unhealthy coping mechanism which would make them toxic...  That's a risk on the healing path. Hopefully, like Chiron in the myth, healers will expand their knowledge and awareness, but unlike Chir...
