Virgo and the Upgrading of Humanity

Today, human consciousness is in transition, moving from the Piscean Age baseline up to the higher plane of the approaching Age of Aquarius. It is my observation that this is most visible in those individuals whose charts and lives are heavily influenced by Virgo.

In the past, Mercury-ruled Virgos were largely about order. They were the accountants of the Zodiac. The new Chiron-ruled Virgos have incorporated much of the Piscean energy and now apply intuition in practical, even logical, ways. The difference between Mercury-ruled Virgo and Chiron-ruled Virgo is the difference between a basic personal computer and one that is connected by a modem to the World Wide Web. In one sense, Chiron is a modem, but the simplest understanding of the planet is that it upgrades whatever it touches.

Old Virgo often had to deal with issues of guilt and duty. New Virgo has reclaimed her innocence. She understands that she is perfectly made, without flaw or impediment. She is also at a turning point in human evolution, having recently completed her (spiritual) education, she must now go out and practice it. Being young, she will make mistakes, but that is normal. She constantly reminds herself: Practice makes Perfect and Practice leads to Mastery.

In astrological terms, it has long been said that the object of human evolution is to get to the center of the chart. The first step in doing that is to find the center-point within each sign polarity. The new Virgos are doing just that. In them the right-brain intuitive-creative function is being reintegrated with left-brain logic. This clearly represents a consciousness upgrade that is making spirituality both practical and useful.

Beyond all that, Chiron’s discovery in 1977 marks a turning point in human evolution. It was the point where the new kids reached critical mass in the general population. From that point, increasing numbers of births were of a new type being, called Indigo. They are markedly higher in consciousness than earlier generations. In 1995, when Chiron entered Libra–the Zodiacal turning point–a second type of new kid began to arrive, now called Crystal Children. One of the major writers on the subject, Doreen Virtue, predicts a third type which she calls Rainbow. It is our feeling that these will be keyed to the entrance of Chiron (nearly simultaneously with Neptune) into Pisces, the sign of Mastery. They will represent the necessary critical mass in human consciousness which will pave the way for the Age of Aquarius. Interestingly enough, this occurs in 2012.

It is not easy being Virgo, because the belief systems of this world refuse to recognize either Virgo perfection or Piscean mastery in humans. Still, they exist. Believe me, God/dess didn’t make no junk!

Thank you to all the Virgos now in transformation. You hold the vision of a better tomorrow.
