Virgo
By Rev. Alice Miller
Virgo is a sign with a reputation for hard work, and it can be just that. Virgo is the spiritual equivalent of our teen years. It signifies the passage from spiritual childhood to spiritual adulthood. It can feel like we have lost our Edenic childhood innocence. Far too often, Virgo spends years struggling to return to a state of grace or perfection, never realizing that it is not lost, but must now be taken out into the world.
The Virgo Spirit is perfect, whole, complete. S/he must now put that newly acquired perfection, wholeness and completion into practice. The physical correspondence to this phase is the individual who has just reached full size and completed a basic education. At Virgo, we face society and an adult world, equipped only with what we have learned in childhood. Suddenly, it is time to put away childish things. We must make ourselves useful, using only the tools given us as children. It is time to go to work, to support ourselves. Relationships change focus and the meaning of words like family and home, as where we came from, to where we are going–and with whom. We are faced with massive choice, and the beginning of real responsibility. No wonder it looks like hard work!
The great gift and task of Virgo is to give up the struggle to be perfect, and realize that she is undamaged, uncontaminated, perfect and pure as all her God/dess’ children are. All any Virgo ever needs is practice. She is on a new venture, entering a new phase of service, and it will take time and mistakes to acquire the ability to function easily. Mistakes will be made, but function will improve. Virgo is, finally and forever, about perfect beings acquiring the practice that will–in time–lead to Piscean Mastery.
Planets in Virgo are learning new methods of being. They are making the transition from spiritual childhood to adult function. They take lots of practice. They also need lots of praise. They do not need criticism.
Years ago, this writer gave visual training to her dyslexic sons. She was continually cautioned to start with success. The rule was to begin each day with what had been mastered the day before, and then extend that success. It was about stretching the limits of function to greater and greater parameters.
Virgo is a hands-on sign. She learns by doing, by practice. She is an apprentice adult, reorganizing the lessons of childhood for use in an adult world. Remember that in working with the Virgo areas of your chart. If ever there was a place to compliment yourself, it is in these areas. Let no effort go un-praised, unrewarded. Compete only with yourself, and take note of each day’s progress on the path to mastery.
