Virgo's Spiritual Side

With a deep emotional reserve, Virgo is born with the innate sense that there's more to life than what he or she can see. But Virgos are also rational and science-focused, tending to get too caught up in the why of things. While this detail-oriented attitude helps them in the real world, it can leave them feeling jaded, confused, and alone when it comes to spiritual matters. This sign usually finds success blending the rituals that work best for them. While some Virgos find comfort, solace, and meaning in the rituals of organized religion, others prefer to develop a personal spiritual practice. Above all, a Virgo may find that his or her quest for meaning is a lifelong endeavor, and that reading spiritual teachings is key for their spiritual journey. Virgo needs time and space for personal reflection, and they find a lot of meaning in nature. Making time to watch a sunrise or sunset, journal by an ocean, or even just take a long walk to nowhere can help them tap into that inner Divine.

Virgo’s Ascendent

An ascendant in Gemini and Virgo speaks of one’s connection to the animal world through Mercury and the Wolf. It is the howling and the social bonds that define the life of these individuals, and the easiest way to understand them is as members of a pack rather than individuals ready to perform. Seemingly easy to tame, they really aren’t, although they may seem to remind everyone of someone else, all the time. In their natural habitat they have the freedom to choose a mate for life, but only someone equal to their set of values, beliefs, and strengths. If they are an alpha in the pack, their partner must be an alpha too. Survivors in all habitats and extremely quick in their movement, they are adaptable and spread out through the world as a network of grounded communication.

Virgo's Healing Mantra:“I am perfect, just as I am.”

Virgo's Spirit Color:White/silver. Wearing either color or focusing on it during meditation can connect Virgos to their higher power and stop them from getting too mired down in earthly details.

The Best Crystals for Virgo:Red jasper. A nurturing stone, jasper can help keep Virgos grounded and remind themselves that they are their best exactly as they are.

Honor Your Spirit and…….

Your Virgo Spirit is strength in quietness, order and sacrifice. Your energy is reflective, gentle and compassionate on an impersonal level. Virgo, being true to yourself means understanding that giving can only be empowered by accepting and by cherishing the minute details of life while applying them to the bigger picture. Your purpose is to bring strength, healing and understanding to our world. You put chaos into order, fix the weaknesses and prepare us to move outwards towards the larger world..…Give when your heart compels you to give and take when your dreams demand you to accept. Open your eyes to what exists beyond your immediate vision. Sacrifice your need to keep order for one day and regale in something you’ve longed to do. Look deeply into your own inner reaches and experience the being that exists there. Don’t take on more than you can comfortably handle…honor your needs first once in awhile. Don’t expect others to be able to understand the importance of your ways and give away your need to explain. Remember there is, indeed, a forest beyond the trees..journey into it at least once a week. Free yourself to the ethereal truth of the imagination and your dreams. Relent once in awhile rather than fight. Dare to follow the trail left by someone else….you’ll discover your very own treasure. Take a piece of a rainbow…and hold it in your heart…your love will complete its arc.

 

Virgo's Karma Boosters

Every sign has unfinished business to deal with. For Virgo, this includes letting go of perfection and embracing good enough. While it takes a lifetime to learn this skill, regularly incorporating these practices can help Virgos become their best selves:Don't triple check. Sending an email to a friend? Resist the urge to edit three times. So what if there's a spelling mistake or two? Dance. Not only that, dance while people are watching. Virgos tend to hold back on the dance floor, but shaking it in public can help them let it go! Go out in pajamas. By heading to a coffee shop in what they've slept in, Virgos can embrace imperfection (not to mention that it's super comfy). Don't harp on a small issue. Yes, Virgo's partner was late for a date, and he or she is sorry. Subject closed. There's no need to keep talking about it all night. Try a new dish at a restaurant. It's a small start, but stepping outside of that old comfort zone by trusting the waiter's recommendation instead of combing Yelp for hours is a powerful way to remind Virgo that sometimes surprises are a good thing.

Turning Adversity into Strength.

As is true for all of us and all the signs our greatest weaknesses are facets of our finest strengths. Your ability to sift through the details of any issue or scenario and to pull out what is strong and necessary while discarding what is weak and unneeded can turn against you during times of crisis or angst. Focusing on the smallest issue within an issue can take away your personal power to overcome and take advantage of a growth period. Learn to calm your mind, find diversions to take your thoughts off of your troubles and explore something that can captivate you and allow you an exit from the grip of your intellect. If you feel trapped and unable to see beyond your immediate problem force yourself to ‘feel’ your way through. Live in your heart..let your emotions do the steering and listen to something that speaks deep in your intuitive reservoirs. Your ability to apply intuition with mind is ultimately empowering..but you have to find that quiet voice through your dedicated commitment to it’s existence.
