EVOLVING YOUR EXPERIENCE.
This is a wonderful year for you, Virgo. It’s a year of Marie Kondo-ing how you play the archetype of Virgo. And while you are the sign most associated with cleaning house, this is more a cleansing and clearing in how you express. On January 11th, the nodes will move into Pisces (North Node) and your sign, with the South Node taking up residency here for the next 18 months. What this translates to is all the forthcoming eclipses taking place in your two signs. The South Node is associated with the more unconscious expressions of your sign; the perfectionism, self-flagellation, analysis-paralysis, high level self-critique and hectic inner critics.
Your Sun sign is something you are evolving into; each lap around gives you more of a sense of who you are and how you best operate. Virgo has an interesting catch-22 in that you will have had to navigate, quite naturally, by being a Virgo. You have an innate awareness of your own potential, and you likely know what the ultimate expression of that potential is, in all relevant fields. Do you allow yourself to get your hands dirty and be the beginner? While you have the natural ability to analyse absolutely anything into the nitty gritty, the planning and conceptualising is five per cent of the game. You don’t start perfect. You’re not meant to. You learn most through the doing of the thing, and it is here that that analytical majesty that you have can productively aid you in progressing.
If you have a tendency to hold off the ‘reward’ of rest or pleasure or fun until the to-do list is completed, or you won’t enjoy your body or buy yourself that dress until your form is a perfect sculpture, then this will be a potent time for you.
While the eclipses themselves represent these pressure cooker moments, this transit will be working its magic from the get-go. The medicine lies in the highest expressions of your opposite sign, Pisces. Namely, knowing that you are held in the cocoon of the cosmos, regardless of if you’ve actualised into your concept of a perfect being, or not.
Actively seek transcendent experiences; swimming in the ocean, rocking gently in a hammock, being immersed in the music and the art that uplifts you. Whatever resonates for you is high level medicine now.
It’s important to pierce the veil of your everyday and glimpse into and feel the sublime. It’s the waves of inspiration that balance out your natural drive to actualise your potentials. It’s a reminder that your sign has the great capacity to be a true conduit of alchemising the intangible (Pisces) into the tangible (Virgo). That your worth is inherent, not something you only earn if you tick all the boxes of your own (or inherited) self-expectations.
Take note of what comes up during and in the weeks on either side of the eclipses in Pisces and Virgo, as things will appear more obvious in these time frames. One thing to contemplate, what are the reasons you are wanting to self-actualise for? What are the driving forces? What do you perceive the rewards to be? And can you accept and love and enjoy who you are right now in this moment?
