Posted by Pam Curruthers on 5/9/2007, 11:32 am KEY EXPRESSIONS FOR VIRGO: Organising, discernment, discrimination, focusing, clearing up the mess, order out of chaos, analytical ability. Virgo is ruled by Mercury (the messenger) and is an earth sign which means it uses information in a practical way. To understand a sign look at the part of the body that it rules. Virgo rules the intestines, where digestion is completed. Material is broken down and reduced to its essential components, which serve the nutritional needs of the body. Virgo is concerned with health and healing Discrimination It can be a perfectionist. I know this as I have my Mars in this sign. I use my Virgo Mars to its advantage when I design websites, newsletters and fliers. This is a process of analysing - of sorting pictures and words, of editing information before synthesising. I do get cross with myself if I make mistakes. I also know that I often correct others mistakes, much to their annoyance! Virgo's lesson is to perfect its craft and recognise that the imperfections in people are what makes them human. The opposite sign has the answer. Pisces says its far better not to judge and to extend love unconditionally. Servant and service The Goddess is dedicated. She is the image of purity. She is whole as nothing has possessed her. Wikepedia says "They were the virgin holy priestesses of Vesta, the goddess of the hearth. Their primary task was to maintain the sacred fire of Vesta. The Vestal duty brought great honor and afforded greater privileges to women who serve". Inadequacy Eclipses The lunar eclipse in August activated the axis of Virgo and Pisces, and the solar eclipse is triggering Uranus in Pisces into activity. This new moon is directly opposite Uranus the planet of revolution and sudden change. This begins a time of awakening especially for those with a planet at 18 degrees. ASTROLOGER Jonathan Cainer says: "This is a very exciting month. It brings Saturn into Virgo for the first time since 1981, thus changing, dramatically the long-term outlook for Leos, Virgos and Capricorns. It's a 'win-win' situation for these three signs - yet it's hard to see why any of the other nine should have cause for concern either. A new phase, even a new era, is beginning and it's one that will open many minds, alter many ideas and awaken many hopes. The emphasis for people all over the planet now (in different ways, of course) is on working out what needs to happen, understanding why it hasn't been happening... and finding a way to make it happen at last." ASTROLOGER Eric Francis writes: All of this emphasis on the mundane and the practical, the mental and that which can be documented, elicits the question -- what are your dreams? What would you do if you could do what you wanted? Are you able to even answer that question? If you can, what is it that's preventing you, and what can you do about it? The eclipse of Sep. 11 presents us with a moment of dramatic choice. Opportunity may seem to emerge out of nowhere. The chance to live your dreams, or to make a difference, is likely to appear as a real possibility. What will you do about it? NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE September 11th. Sun and Moon at 18 degrees Virgo. Those with the Sun, Moon or any major planet at this degree will be affected. HOROSCOPE September horoscope focuses on how Saturn in Virgo will affect you. Sept Horoscope

September 2007- Time to heal and organise your life
This is Virgo's month which is more important than usual as Saturn has just moved into Virgo where it stays for the next two and a half years. So it's important for us all to know more about this sign.
These next two and a half years are a big opportunity to connect with getting healthier and healing ourselves. The negative traits of Virgo are critical, nervousness, perfectionism and over analytical which all create stress. Now Saturn is in this sign we are all advised to look at our diet and daily habits more closely. Drinking good pure water is vital as is getting enough sleep. The essential oils which help relaxation are marjoram and basil. Bergamot oil (in Earl Grey tea) is a natural sedative. Dill purifies the digestive tract and fennel seeds quieten intestinal disturbances. More info from the book 'Healing Signs' by Ronnie Gale Dryer.
Virgos examine and sort everything they deal with. They are known to have an eye for detail and have the key quality of discrimination. Virgo notices everything that is out of place and desires to put everything in order.
Virgo also needs meaningful work. Think of Mother Teresa for the archetype of the true servant. Those born in the 60ties with both Uranus and Pluto in Virgo know this. Princess Diana was a woman of that generation. She also had Mars in this conjunction which is a volatile mix and why some described her as a 'loose cannonball'.
The other aspect of Virgo is littleness, with feelings of inadequacy.
This is a time of change as we are in the eclipse 'season', which can bring turmoil and you might have felt more emotional than usual, especially if you have planets near to 4 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini or Sagittarius. September 11th sees the Solar eclipse on a very significant day.
FULL MOON September 26th Sun in Libra, Moon in Aries at 3 degrees.
