Virgo

Virgo: Love Quality

One Universal energy.

Do you remember Superman’s voracious appetite for food? Well, no, he actually never ate food as Superman, but what he ate was solar energy. It was his response to solar energy that gave him his capacity to serve other, and to love life.

As a Virgo, our sign is related to diet, nutrition, and service to others. It is through the food we eat that maintains our constitution, and the right selection of these things determines the fullness of our life. Our body serves the spirit, and as this awareness dawns more fully, it begins to change the choices we make, supplying the body with real nutrition.

When the illusion of separateness has been resolved, the critical faculty stops its criticism of self and others, filling the body with solar energy as radiant light. We absorb the energy through what we eat, when we acknowledge the feeling of light. Everything is radiant energy including the things we classify as being “dead” food. Our ability to combine solar radiant energy, taken in as prana in the air we breathe, with the solar substance of food is by seeing its radiance. This attracts the prana energy, and acts like a “grounding” foundation for more prana energy.

All food, in fact everything that we respond to through our senses is really crystallized light, and all light is really conscious radiant cosmic electricity. We are not only living within this light, but assimilating it to transform our body to become more like it. Not that the body can become fully like it, but so that the consciousness within the body can transfer its sense of identity from being a body, to being a light body, consciously connected with all.

As we respond more and more to life being the handiwork of Solar energy, and us being the mediator or furnace for the light’s expression, we release the soul from the confinement of the body. The Mercury of Gemini (discrimination), becomes the Mercury of Virgo (Mercury exalted in Virgo), touched by our own capacity to grow toward a more perfect state of being.

At a low vibrating level, Mercury is the ability to form value judgments about others, and even more detrimentally about ourselves and parts of our body. The prudish nature of Virgo blocks the divine from entering that area of the body, and eventually causes health problems.

When we begin to comprehend the purity in this source of light, we can begin to let go of our false structures of error built around our response to being touched by this light.

The false ideas that have led to our sense of separateness is actually helping us to grow toward a more perfected state, and our criticism is a response that keeps that perfection hidden. It is only by experiencing life through a body can we become fully conscious or our divine nature. It is only by responding to life as being conscious, radiant energy crystallized into matter, can we begin to bring our perfection into true being as heaven on earth.
