Virgo is a beautiful maiden. In one hand she holds a sheaf of wheat, and a medicinal plant in the other. She looks like a hippie; she’s wearing a long dress; her undulating hair is moved by the wind as she walks in the tall grasses of a meadow. She is absolutely charming. However she looks approachable. Set eyes on Venus, you’ll know how it feels to be compared to Mars, if you’re male, or to herself, if you’re female. You need to be very confident to approach Venus. You may get a taste of divine disdain. Nothing like that will happen with the virgin maiden. It’s easy to say hello and have a little chat. Why is she holding a single ear of corn? Because there is no need to include the entire harvest in the picture! The ear of corn stands for the fields, the wheat, the oat, and the barley, or whatever grows in the fields, sunflowers, rapeseed, alfalfa, beans, onions and potatoes… Beware, once she trusts you’re interested, she may mention all the cultivated varieties and their uses.

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 includ...

Signs work as polar opposites. Pisces and Virgo for instance are the two ends of only one thing. In Pisces, we connect with our soul, we become compassionate, we are incredibly sensitive and we want to help and save and solace and make life beautiful for everybody. But we just don't know how to do that. So we turn to Virgo.  Virgo has understood that to be able to help, you need to be down to earth. You need to actually register to the bloody first aid class and turn up on the right day. You need a diary for that. Virgo knows that without organisation all the great feelings are useless. So Virgo turns its attention towards down to earth practicalities...  So much so that maybe, at some point, Virgo knows how to do the job, but as it has become obsessed by getting all the details right, it may have forgotten why it is doing the job! It's time to turn to Pisces again, and reconnect with the heart. Once balanced, Pisces and Virgo are only one vibe. Jean jeanmarcpierson.com...
