VIRGO IS THE SIXTH SIGN OF THE ZODIAC, & BOTH THE SECOND EARTH SIGN (AFTER TAURUS) AND THE SECOND SIGN TO BE RULED BY MERCURY (AFTER GEMINI). VIRGO REPRESENTS THE NEED OF ALL LIFE FOR A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO THE CONCERNS OF EXISTENCE. STRONG MORAL TENDENCIES LEND VIRGO, THE VIRGIN, A SERIOUS IMAGE, DISCRIMINATING TO A FAULT, VIRGO IS IN FACT HIGHLY SELECTIVE CONCERNING MOST FORMS OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
THE VIRGO I PERIOD TAKES SYSTEM BUILDERS AS ITS CENTRAL IMAGE. VIRGO 1 PEOPLE ARE GENERALLY STRAIGHTFORWARD & DIRECT. THOSE BORN IN THIS PERIOD WHO ARE BLESSED WITH LEADERSHIP ABILITIES USUALLY APPLY THEIR TALENTS & ENERGIES IN THE PRACTICAL SERVICE OF SOME GROUP OR CAUSE. THIS PERIOD CAN BE LIKENED TO THE TIME IN A PERSON’S LIFE WHEN THE INSTINCT TO CONSOLIDATE & SOLIDIFY EXISTING STRUCTURES, MARRIAGES, OR PARTNERSHIPS, BUSINESSES, ETC, ASSERTS ITSELF. THE DESIRE TO BE HELPFUL & TO CONSTRUCTIVELY INFLUENCE THE COURSE OF EVENTS
THE VIRGO II PERIOD TAKES THE ENIGMA AS ITS CENTRAL IMAGE. THE DAYS WHICH COMPRISE VIRGO II SYMBOLICALLY REVEAL THE MATURE ADULT BREAKING AWAY FROM PREVIOUS SYSTEMS OR MODES OF LIVING IN ORDER TO BUILD IMAGINATIVELY, SEEKING GREATER SUCCESS USING INTELLIGENT MEANS, AND FATHOM THE MYSTERIOUS, ENIGMATIC, AND PROBLEMATIC SIDE OF THE SELF. THE ATTAINMENT & DEVELOPMENT OF PRIVATE GOALS NOW ASSUMES A HIGH PRIORITY.
IN THE GRAND CYCLE OF LIFE, VIRGO III CAN BE COMPARED TO THE TIME WHEN A PERSON TURNS FORTY AND APPROACHES THE MID-LIFE PERIOD. AT THIS TIME THE ADULT NEEDS TO GROW EVER MORE REALISTIC AND MAKE HARD CHOICES. PERHAPS CRITICAL FACULTIES AND PRAGMATISM ARE AT THEIR HEIGHT DURING THIS TIME, THIS SHOULD NOT GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT VIRGO III’S ARE SOMEHOW MERCENARY OR COLD. IN FACT, THEY NEED TO GIVE AND RECEIVE WARMTH AND LOVE LIKE ALL OF US, BUT MAY BE MUCH MORE SELECTIVE ABOUT HOW AND UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS IT IS SHARED. THOUGH VIRGO III’S OFTEN DISPLAY MARKED AMBITION, THEIR DESIRE TO BE EXCEPTIONAL RARELY MANIFESTS IN FLAMBOYANCE. INDEED, THEIR DISLIKE OF EXCESS EMOTIONALITY, OSTENTATION OR FUSS SPARES THEM A LOT OF UNNECESSARY COMPLICATIONS IN LIFE.
