EXCERPTS FROM ASTROLOGER GURU RATTANA

Like all the signs, not everyone has planets in Virgo. But the Virgo archetype, the soul desire to connect with nature and universal forces in the body, is a vital instinct in every human being. There are several ways to identify where and how the Virgo impulse plays out in our lives.

As we delve into the meaning and lessons of the sixth zodiac archetype, it is important to remember that each sign has its own path to fulfillment, wholeness and enlightenment. Each sign is also part of everyone's developmental process. If our Sun, Moon, Ascendant or several planets are in one sign, the lessons of that archetype will be major focal points of our lives. If the lessons are not in our face, we nevertheless recognize the importance of learning these self-empowering lessons.

This whole month of Virgo is dominated by the effects of the mutable grand cross at the Virgo solar eclipse on September 11. This grand cross is formed by the mutable signs (Virgo, Pisces, Sagittarius and Virgo). The modus operandi of the mutable signs is to adjust, adapt, allow, don't resist, let go of control, go with the flow, and be conscious in the moment.

If we choose to resist the evolutionary flow in our life, the confrontational nature of the interactions between these four forces will create change anyway. In a grand cross, the four energies relate to each other in squares and oppositions, which require transformation and initiate endings and beginnings. Change will happen. We either participate gracefully or reluctantly.

The air and fire signs express solar/masculine energies. The water/earth signs express lunar/feminine energies. Leo is a solar/masculine archetype. Virgo is a feminine/lunar archetype. To achieve inner union, both men and women must learn how to embody and integrate both solar and lunar energies. Since both men and woman are born under all the signs, I do my best to talk about the archetypes in a non-gender specific way. However, in the case of Virgo, whose symbol is the Virgin Maiden, trying to avoid using her/she is not always appropriate. So bear with me guys and use your discriminating minds to extrapolate the archetypical lessons.

Virgo is represented by a young Maiden/Virgin. She is often depicted sitting in a boat holding a flame in one hand and a chaff of grain in the other. She is gently and effortlessly moving with the flow of the evolving and manifesting current. The Virgo archetype represents the principle of universal justice, which happens when natural laws are obeyed. When they are not obeyed, adjustments are made to re-establish natural order. Often we don't like the consequences of these adjustments.

Virgo embodies and represents the intrinsic orderliness and the fertility of nature. She understands and honors the value, appropriateness and way of life of every natural form - including, plants, animals, human beings and Mother Earth herself.

Virgo is attuned to the reality that nature's way is unfolded in the seasons, life and death, the waxing and waning of the Moon, and the yearly and daily progression of the Sun and the Planets.

Virgo is both saddened and disgusted by the disorder, destruction, chaos, and wastefulness of time and resources. Virgo does not have any sympathy for those who squander precious resources and make a mess of things.

Mother Nature is a stern punisher of crime. There is no cheating, bribery or leniency in her court of natural law and karma. The same goes for Saturn. Virgo's vision is a life where natural order is restored and respected and natural justice rightfully reigns.

Virgo's path is to connect with the natural order of nature, the universe and our body. To live in harmony with natural forces, Virgo must develop an intimate relationship with the body, the Earth and the cycles of nature.

Virgo feels most comfortable when she can connect with the Earth. She loves to experience the energies of nature, which are pure, honest and fertile. Her anxiety stems from being out of sync with her personal and Earth's natural flow and dynamic energies. Her healing happens when she can reconnect with the vital forces of nature and the rhythms in her body. Then she can tap into her power, which is possible when she is guided by her instincts, intuition and natural rhythms.

One of Virgo's biggest challenges is to eliminate negativity and self-criticism. Another is to CLEAR THE CLUTTER in the mind. Virgo can access its powers only if it is consciously connected to Spirit and natures rhythms. Authentic connection requires reducing mind games and neurotic thought patterns that grab our attention and block the mind/body connection. Operating free of attachments and renouncing our critical habits is a challenge, but one that we must accept to move into our power.
