He Virgo Amavasya (August 27, 2022, 1:17am PDT) asks: What does it mean to be healthy? organized? clean? Or – the most dreaded of Virgo adjectives – perfect?

Like everyone else, I’ve had a life that pushed perfection out of decidedly early reach. I never prayed for the perfect figure, the perfect career or anything close to the perfect family life. It seems that imperfection is the human condition, but it makes me sad that I have often fallen so short of my standards. Wouldn’t it be amazing, over and over again, to be able to trade in for a shiny new life with your old beat-up as easily as upgrading your car?

Some of my imperfect lives are, of course, my own fault One fact is that my Mars, Pluto and mid-sky in Virgo don’t let me forget even for a moment. I don’t have the right kind of personality for office work, so maybe I should have finished college after high school instead of deciding to drop out and earn a living as a secretary. I should have found a better way to deal with my childhood trauma than to self-medicate with junk food and put myself behind the Metabolic 8-Ball. And there’s no doubt that I could have avoided some of the credit card debt and bad relationships that caused me so many headaches in my twenties.

But my few missteps in response to events outside my control, were the best coping techniques that came with me at an early age. By the age of ten I had lost a parent in a tragic accident, had been dragged across the country to live in California, watched my family’s financial situation approach poverty, and had a life long before it was fashionable. was living as Kundi’s child. Despite this rocky start, I eventually mended my way to a satisfying career, formed a happy marriage, finished college, and had a healthy relationship with money.

Mind you, this is a far from perfect resume, and I know a lot of other people have done a lot with very little. But when I think that whatever I am was suddenly invented, in response to strange and disturbing circumstances, I feel like I haven’t done too bad. Perhaps, sometimes, what looks like an imperfection is actually a constructive, practical response. We have been dealt with by hand.

Maybe in my next life I’ll take my time and get it all right the first time. This time, though, I’ve found that there is a certain relaxation that comes with letting go of perfection and making do with whatever comes your way. This does not mean that one should not strive to be better. But what exactly does “better” mean? better than what? I’m not so sure that an earthly, practical sign like Virgo was ever meant to symbolize anything as unattainable as the afterlife and perfection. Rather, I think Virgo’s concept of “better” will make us strive for more useful and optimal service, How much could we be of use to the world when we’re preoccupied with carbohydrates, harmful credit card interest rates, and keeping our bathrooms spotlessly clean?

I am fortunate at this point in my life to know so many people who are deeply involved in making the world a better place. They don’t have time to think about their imperfect thighs, shopping for the perfect little black dress, or spots on the carpet. They are very busy organizing demonstrations, working as mental health professionals and spiritual counselors, and volunteering time for social justice. I don’t think he would describe his life in full; But then, instead of perfection, they have shifted their focus. Effectiveness – An infinitely more joyful and attainable goal.

When you get right down to it, life is one big mess — and really, it’s beautiful that way. Maybe everything is already perfect as it is, and your only job is to find your place in it, and make the best of what you have been given. Be better, urge Virgo; more useful. be of optimum service. Find out what the world needs from you, and organize your life so that you can give it. If we orient ourselves this way, I can’t help but think that Virgo will be pleased with us—no matter how chaotic our homes are, how unbalanced our checkbooks, or how abundant our cellulite is. be in

You have a remarkable ability, in the best of times, to pluck the depths of your and other people’s feelings. But still more because of the intensity of what is happening internally and externally.

Mercury has entered its shadow zone on the 25th of Virgo – to look back and complete our transformation into Libra and Virgo

The shadow region is defined by the period where a planet turns retrograde, and where it goes directly after the retrograde period. In this case, Mercury turns retrograde on 9th September into Libra. It will retrograde back to the 25th of Virgo, where it stabilizes directly on 2nd October, the birthdays of Mahatma Gandhi and Groucho Marx. It casts a shadow zone between 25 Virgo and 9 Libra, and on August 21 Mercury enters 25 Virgo, the degree where it will go SD in early October. I will be writing some articles about the upcoming retrograde which will be posted as we get closer. So now we begin an 8-week round of three phases on the first 9 degrees of Libra and the last 6 degrees of Virgo. We will have old Virgo and Libra returns related to people and events that affected our lives in the past. It would be “looking back” in memory of past work and partners, past service and the people we once looked up to as equals. It brings up memories of former Virgo and Libra experiences so that...
