What does humility mean to you?
How are you fairing this week? I keep hearing from friends that:
"It's too much."
Can you relate? I sure can!
Virgo Seasons comes on the heels of playful Leo Season, which gives us just enough reprieve from the typical day-to-day activities to make us feel like we're on vacation even if we aren't.
Virgo on the other hand, is not so much about frivolity and much more about the task at hand.
That's why this shift of energy can be experienced as a seemingly endless amount of chores and an influx of work and responsibility.
It's a lot — maybe even too much given our changing times.
Virgo is the sign of the Busy Bee. Still, even Virgo has to eat some humble pie on occasion and concede that she just can't do EVERYTHING all the time — especially if she's paying attention to the Mind-Body-Spirit trinity.
Virgo is also a naturally demure sign. She's modest about her modesty! Likewise, she is most prone to act as a devoted servant of God, embodying the Spiritual Archetype of Humility.
Moira may feign busyness, but she's most definitely not a Virgo!
When Virgo takes a step back from being an anxious over-achiever ("practically perfect in every way"), she is decidedly realistic and humble.
She also reminds us that strength can be found in modesty.
We often put a lot of pressure on ourselves to be perfect in one or more ways, abandoning the Humility that reminds us we can only do our best in any given moment.
Here's some contemplations on the topic:
What does humility mean to you?
Are you able to recognize when a situation calls for a deepening of Humility? Have you ever even thought of it before?
In what area of your life do you continuously struggle or repeat patterns you would like to break?
Are you willing to humbly ask Divine to help you out?
Where do you expect yourself — and others — to be better or do better?
What part of your ego or judgment is arising in these moments to the detriment of yourself and the relationship? How can you deepen your sincerity and Humility around these expectations?
Remember that the Virgin is mostly concerned with the health of the whole, hence representing the Mind-Body-Spirit trinity.
That's also why Virgo Season is a good time to take a pause from Busy Bee-ing to realize that ... "um, maybe my expectations for myself (or others) are just a tad unrealistic."
Or, "I need to turn this over to God because I have no idea what I'm doing right now."
Dream, Dream, Dream! This Week's AstroLogical Forecast:
On Friday, September 16 around 5.30pm, the Sun is in opposition to dreamy Neptune. You'll be feeling the buildup of this energy all week, however.
Positively, this energy expresses as romanticism, idealism, imagination and spiritual devotion.
On the flip side, you might be feeling fuzzy or ungrounded. Some may experience a loss of meaning or despair.
>> Also keep in mind that Mercury went retrograde last Friday, which can bring confusion and mixed messages to the table.
You may experience confusion or doubt about your direction in life or decisions you've made.
Don't give in to doubt and agitation now. This energy can be disorienting. Allow what arises to illuminate where your Mind-Body-Spirit wants to come into greater alignment (healing work).
>> You'll for sure see with greater clarity and confidence once the energy passes.
Regardless of your personal experience, there's one big take-away: Things are not as they appear.
We've all been deceived or manipulated before, and it's under this type of energy that the likelihood increases. Ugh.
This is especially important when something appears too good to be true — like your ex calling with a big change of heart or an amazing deal on an expensive purchase.
>> Absolutely delay any important decisions until next week when things are clearer; remain discerning and employ critical thinking skills.
It's an excellent time to revisit your spiritual path with meditation or some other form of sacred ritual.
Virgo is the Humble servant to Divine. You'll benefit from cultivating serenity and surrendering to Life. A good night's sleep is also advised.
>> If possible, surround yourself with compassionate and sincere friends who share similar values.
Are you feeling Neptune's influence already? Write me back and let me know!!
In next week's email — the fall equinox on September 22 and the Sun's ingress into Libra! Until then ...
Cheers to understanding yourself better!
