Virgo

We are at the point in our journey around the wheel of the Zodiac where the energy begins to shift and our circle of attention widens with Virgo. The first five archetypes build the ego through separation, embodiment, communication, emotional depth, and creative self-expression.

Aries ~ Separating from source ~ The birth of ‘I’
Taurus ~ Connecting to the body & the senses
Gemini ~ Establishing communication
Cancer ~ Immersion into emotional experience
Leo ~ In full bloom of personal creative potential.

Then Virgo comes along, understanding the next step in the divine order of self-actualisation is humility. She arrives with her microscope ready to examine and purify any overinflation of the ego through a detailed self-analysis.

Virgo teaches us reflectiveness. She sees what needs to be refined and is attuned to seek perfection, not through judgment, but through devotion and service to her improvement.

Virgo is willing to jump in and do the dirty work. With her understanding of divine order she embraces her duty to be in the muck, looking through the mess to reveal the magic and the sacredness within it. This process is done in complete devotion to her overarching goal of creating heaven on earth & heaven within, not by pretending hell doesn’t exist but by working to purify it.

Her inner process of purification becomes the foundation for meaningful service in the world. After refining herself and embracing the discipline of self-analysis, Virgo begins to shift her focus outward. The devotion she cultivated within now seeks expression in the world. She seeks to create order, healing, and beauty where it is needed, bringing her skills, insight, and humility in practical, transformative ways.

This month, take stock of where you are at and where you want to be. With love, examine your life… Where are you resisting growth? Where is purification needed? What skills have you cultivated on your journey and how might they be offered in meaningful service to the world?
