Virgo: Key To Happiness

Pure Response: our ultimate goal.

Pure response is the mind purified of all personal criticism. For a Virgo, it is a difficult task, because the energy ruling Virgo is felt as purely critical. It is the ability to process by categorizing the details, by focusing on the flaws.

Mercury: our Ruling Planet

Like all planets, Mercury has a dual quality. The first quality is it creates mind chatter, the comparing and analyzing, as it looks for the  imperfections that separate us from the experience. Imperfections are a personality trait, but choosing to see them, blocks awareness of the divine perfection. Imperfection is not in the object, but our ego personality looks for flaws in order to remain active. Without flaws, its flaw-finding judgment, would be redundant. Everything is evolving to perfection, and the ego focuses on one frame, but not the whole picture.

The second quality, is the hope that the imperfections will bring out an attitude of serving and loving life. When we touch others by our capacity to give, humility develops and causes a turning inward, where the forces can be used for personal transformation. We see the light, and mold it to reflect its perfect state.

Saturn: our motivation

Saturn, as the ruler of the next earth sign Capricorn, also has a dual quality in influencing our ultimate outcome as a human. The first quality influences us to be responsible and practical in the way we use our mind. The more something is magnified the easier to see the divine order in the details. Seeing perfection is the lesson of Virgo, because the way we respond to the world determines how we perceive it.

Saturn’s true potential is the level of cosmic consciousness, where the critical faculty is turned off to let the perfection of the divine order shine through. It is there, but blocked by the impure response. Not until our personality is developed enough to begin to see the perfection in the details, does the grounding of the divine in physicality take place, by becoming a servant of the most high.

Venus: our Good Fortune

Venus, the ruler of the next earth sign magnifies our desires and emotional propensities. Its dual influence causes the need for beauty and perfection physically, and the need to resolve the impure perspective spiritually. Its beneficial influence expended merely physically can lead to distractions of all kinds, teaching, fixing, repairing, or obsessing, all contributing to our critical fault-finding attitude.

Spiritually its influence imbues us with a detached perspective, without judgment, seeing the details as evolving to perfection, and letting go of the need to fix anything but your own response. This allows us to share in the building of the divine realization that is already here now, just clouded by our imperfect response. We must use our creative imagination to see everything as light, including the food we eat. The light begins to build a finer structure enabling it to attract higher vibrations that allow us to experience the divine glory here and now.

Exalted Planets:

Mercury is exalted in Virgo: When intellect (Mercury) is purified of its false judgment and incessant mind chatter, it becomes a clear channel allowing the experience of the earth plane to be filled with the glory of light. It reverses the flow of intellect, from being outwardly critical, to drawing down images that contribute to the building of a more receptive vehicle.

The more light, the more universal will power that can be used for the betterment of mankind. The more will power the greater the capacity to see heaven on earth, thereby uniting the divine in physicality by releasing the soul from the imperfection of the body!
