Fact One: I’ve been unusually focused on GTD of late. And my tolerance for fools is markedly low.
Fact Two: The Sun is in Virgo, now until late September.
Could these two Facts be related? Certainly my heavy-handed prose implies that they are. Not only that – read almost any description of Virgo and you’ll be tripping over words like ‘perfectionist’, ‘meticulous’, ‘fussy’ and ‘overcritical’ from here until Sunday.
Virgo gets a heckuva bad rap. Condemned as a worrier on one hand and damned with faint praise (like ‘diligent’) on the other.
A few months ago I ran across a cool post on Mystic Medusa’s blog wherein readers were asked to send in Virgo positives. At the time I was labouring under the delusion that I had a Virgo ascendant (a long story… or, more accurately, a short yet incredibly dull story), so I read on with interest and discovered that Virgos are frequently:
-subtly witty
-green thumbed
-artistic
-thoughtful
-there in a crisis
-kind
-sensual.
Link through to the comments on the post for more of the above (and a healthy dose of cynicism – seems it’s hard to avoid when the topic of conversation is Virgo).
Virgo is a mutable Earth sign and, along with Gemini, is ruled by Mercury.
In seeking to understand Virgo, it’s useful to dwell on these facts alone.
Earth – fair enough. Practical, reliable etc. Mutable – surely the monumental pain-in-the-ykw Virgo is made out to be would be fixed? And Mercury – renegade planet, trickster, magician, alchemist… I mean, what’s up with that?
As usual I have no answers, dear Reader… instead I Open the Floor to You for guidance…
