It's been a while since I've written here! It wasn't my intent to fall off in content, but then again, it never is! I'm still learning how to make my Pisces Sun more consistent and less overwhelmed. Pisces is, of course, the opposing sign to Virgo; which is the sign our New Moon is settled in tonight (September 2nd, 2024). I'm making a conscious effort to utilize the present Virgo energy, I know I tend to lean into my South Node (my only natal Virgo placement), which more so embodies the shadow qualities of this sign. I have many Virgo lessons still to learn ....
Both Pisces and Virgo are concerned with purity. However Pisces is concerned with the purity of the soul and it's intent, whereas Virgo is concerned with the purity of method and result. Water without structure spreads aimlessly and floods. Earth without the nourishment of water, dies. Each element is connected by need for each other. We can have purity of intent, but not have purity of method, and vice versa. Of course, the ideal is, as always, balance between the two.
Virgo supports us in the metamorphoses of our dreams becoming tangible reality. It's all about effective action. If you feel like there are areas in your life where there are dreams, but not yet reality, Virgo can assist you in finding solutions for constructive movement. This is the purpose of Virgo energy, to assist others in practical ways. See if you can break down some overwhelming situations in your life into digestible bites. Foundations get built one brick at a time, so you're allowed to take one step at a time.
The saying "People in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones." comes to my mind. Virgo can also be judgemental and overly critical, to others and itself. The amount of times I've heard Virgo (or Gemini) placements critique others, while blatantly displaying the same behaviour on some level, is too much not to take note. This is the shadow manifestation of this sign (they all have them), and it can lean very much into passive aggressive shaming. Think of saying "you could" do this, instead of choosing"you should".
I had an amazing astrology reading from a local astrologer this week, and he shared one of the most profound statement I've ever heard :
"Should is could with shame thrown in."
Whether you are speaking to others or yourself, be observant of how many times you "should" someone. Should is about you, not about them. Should is about force, not about choice. I invite you are take a softer, more effective approach.
Could is about possibility. Could is about invitation. Could is about choice.
You deserve all three.
And you could have it.
