An Esoteric Perspective:
Virgo season it’s more than about someone’s birthday or assigned gemstone – it affects everyone in some way even if subliminally. Throughout history the movements of the heavens has been noted and significant for agriculture as many farmers follow the Moon placements for planting and harvesting. For example, water signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are generally known for being fruitful times with variations for each sign. Right now the Sun moving through Virgo is a harvest time in the Northern Hemisphere and if not a farmer you have this influence to help you to be in alignment with the world around you in a number of ways.
The basics of Virgo are: It’s an earth sign of the four elements, fire, earth, air and water. The symbol is the maiden or virgin and attributes are details and mental focus. Knowing where the sign falls in your birth chart gives insight about where you manifest those traits. The planet ruler is Mercury which is closest to the Sun. Harmonious energies on earth is such as specific gemstones, colors, and various other associations. One example is that Mercury has rulership (influence) over birds.
How all are esoterically influenced during this month long cycle to be considered – you are helped to think and manage details that lead to thoroughness; details are more easily discerned; management through order is helped; it is the gestation of the Christ hidden in form; and the Mercurial influence keeps your mind going at a greater pace.
All these are subtle influences to ease you along in to corporeal world and if mediated upon you may gain spiritual insight of a higher nature such as realizations of the why of events or interactions. Simple yet it can be profound is asking yourself during this cycle what you’ve garnered thus far in your life and what are you harvesting? Your current state of mind, emotion and life is expressing it and with detailed oriented Virgo you can sort through and evaluate it all with an intention of moving forward to the next cycle of Libra during which you can refine and balance. Taking stock is a form of mental harvesting so you can see what you have, where you are and what you are doing and then you can sort through and become more orderly to function. Keep in mind that idealism is part of the divinity of Virgo that needs to be embraced with wisdom rather than self-judgment. Do what you can, when you can and where you can in the most gentle way.
