♍️ You've got Virgo in your chart and I wanna teach you how to understand that practical, grounded, perfectionistic, helpful and discerning energy of yours and what it reveals about your life's purpose.

🤓 Even if you don't have a single planet or your rising sign in Virgo, you have Virgo occupying one of the houses in your chart.

❤️‍🔥 If Virgo falls into one of your career houses (2nd, 6th or 10th or MC), the planetary ruler of any of your career houses is in Virgo, your north or south node is in Virgo, Mercury is in one of your career houses OR your moon or rising sign (AC) is Virgo, pay close attention because you're on this planet to be of practical service to others.

Not sure and wanna know ALL the things about your purpose? Book a Purpose Astrology Reading with me.

Reminder: I practice astrology using the Whole Sign house system, which means every sign occupies one of the 12 houses in your chart.

If you use Placidus or another house system based on the angles in your chart, you might have some signs that don't have any house cusps (aka intercepted) and other signs that have 2 or more.

I invite you to take a peek at your chart in Whole Signs to see how it resonates and then choose the one that feels most true to you and your life experiences.

🤓 If you're ready to learn all about Virgo, its struggles and superpowers and how you can use it to live your life's purpose, let's dive in.

🧐 Let's get to know Virgo

♍️ Virgo is the sixth sign in the zodiac.

Quality: It is a mutable sign, which means it comes at the end of a season. Mutable energy is the energy of change and flow. 

Element: It is an earth sign, which means it's grounded in the material world. Earth signs are practical, dependable and stable.

🥰 Virgo's supportive expressions: organized, grounded, humble, helpful, discerning, logical, intellectual and detail-oriented.

🤪 Virgo's sabotaging expressions: perfectionistic, judgmental, critical, anxious, too focused on the details and martyrs self for others.

Planetary Ruler: Mercury

Planets in Virgo: Each planet behaves differently in different signs.

Check your chart to see which planets you have in Virgo ♍️. Then, scroll down to read all about how that planet acts in Virgo AND how that supports you aligning with your life's purpose.

Also...any aspects to a planet (lines on your chart connecting it with another planet) flavor that planet's expression, so if you feel less Virgo-like, this may be why.

☉ Sun: The Sun signifies ego, core sense of self and greatest expression of purpose. It let's you know what you need to feel satisfied + fulfilled in life.

With your sun in Virgo, you need to be of practical service to others.

Watch out for your tendency to be judgy and perfectionistic. You're not here to use that against yourself or others.

You're here to analyze the health of a person, place or system, see how it can be improved and offer practical and efficient solutions.

Also don't be too humble. You've got gifts to share with the world and they are enough.

☾ Moon: The moon signifies emotions and intuition. It lets you know what you need to feel safe + secure to do your purpose work out in the world.

With your moon in Virgo, you need to create a sense of safety and security through organization and efficiency.

The more clutter and disorganization you surround yourself with in your daily life (especially at home + work), the harder it will be for you to do your purpose work.

Clutter, disorganization and inefficiency impact your emotional health more than others, so please make this a priority for yourself.

Getting out in nature and connecting with the earth also supports your emotional health and well-being, so do this daily.

☿ Mercury: Mercury is the planet of thought and communication. 

Mercury loves being in Virgo. It's at home AND exalted here. Mercury and Virgo get each other.

With your Mercury in Virgo, a big part of your purpose is using your words to be of service to others, whether that's through writings and/or teaching, interpersonal communications or offering practical guidance to others.

Your tendency to judge yourself and others too harshly will keep you stuck in drama and distracted from your purpose.

Be mindful that you learn how to tame that perfectionistic critic in your head who thinks nothing and no one are ever good enough, including you.

♂Mars: Mars is the planet of action, courage and bravery. 

With your Mars in Virgo, you're motivated to create more organization, efficiency and perfection in the world around you.

You're passionate about improving things and have a natural gift for doing that. Be mindful that you're not offering help or advice to fix other people or their lives when they're not asking for your support.

There's a tendency with this placement to point out other people's faults, from a place of deep insecurity within you, as a way to prove yourself better or avoid doing healing work on yourself.

♀Venus: Venus is the planet of money, harmony, relationships and beauty.

Venus hates being in Virgo. It's at its fall here. Venus moves from the heart. Virgo lives in the head.

You make and magnetize money for your purpose through practical service to others.

Help others create more organization, analyze systems, be more efficient and work on their health to make money.

♃ Jupiter: Jupiter is the planet of opportunity, success and expansion.

Jupiter doesn't like to be in Virgo. It's at its detriment here. Jupiter is expansive and focused on the big picture, while Virgo is reductive and focused on details.

For you efficiency feels like integrity. You have the ability to teach others how to get into integrity by analyzing, organizing and improving the health of one or many aspects of their lives and offering them practical solutions.

♄ Saturn: Saturn is the planet of discipline, responsibility and hard work.

With your Saturn in Virgo, you are a deeply grounded and practical human.

You are committed to serving others and feel responsible for the health of our world and everything in it.

You have the ability to set goals and achieve them by analyzing the goal, organizing each step, clearing the clutter and taking practical action, once you fully commit yourself to the goal.

♅ Uranus: Uranus is the planet of change, disruption and innovation. 

You bring practical change with innovative ideas, especially in the areas of health and wellness.

♆ Neptune: Neptune is the planet of spirituality, fantasy, compassion and unconditional love.

Neptune doesn't like to be in Virgo. It's at its detriment here. Virgo thrives on earth. Neptune thrives in other dimensions.

You bring heaven to earth by grounding spirituality in everyday life as a means of being in practical service.

♇ Pluto: Pluto is the planet of transformation and energy alchemy.

Pluto hates to be in Virgo. It's at its fall here. Virgo is focused on surface details. Pluto is concerned with what's going on at great depths beneath the surface.

With your Pluto in Virgo, you see beneath the everyday details to what's going on beneath the surface, so you can be of the greatest service to others.
