Our energy changes tonight as the Sun enters the sign of Virgo and will remain there until September 22. Leo, known for its passion and brilliance as the sign of fire, passes the baton to Virgo, which remains focused on practical matters, details and order. You will notice this transition in both your thoughts and your actions as the emphasis shifts from creativity and expression to organization and efficiency.
I was thinking today, as I do every day, about the motivations of the people around me. I notice that many relationships are superficial, perhaps because introductions are now made easily and hastily. As if we treat people as if they are expendable, focusing only on how to 'have fun' or get validation. We don't invest deeply in others, perhaps because we see them as easily replaceable by the next 'potential' lover.
A similar mentality prevails in the workplace. Many employers have adopted a narcissistic attitude, believing that employees are just cogs in a machine. "Tear it up for a living," they say. "If you don't, others are waiting in line." It's as if all sense of humanity and respect is lost, and demands grow out of control. For example, you may hear, "Why have a child and get paid to sit around?"
This tough Virgo energy seeks self-interest in every situation. And if the person around us has not learned to value humanity, true love and emotional commitment, then this period can lead them to manipulative behaviors where they try to 'take advantage' of situations or people. He focuses on efficiency, achieving goals, and sometimes exploiting those around him if the necessary sensitivity is not present.
But if Virgo energy is combined with healthy emotion, then it is the best we can ask for. People who truly love take care of others, give of themselves, and show trust. When there is mutual understanding and cooperation, Virgo becomes the sign of practical love, support, and attention to details. Although Venus - the goddess of love - is in retrograde in Virgo, this sign can be extremely romantic in a quiet, practical way.
Many times, Virgo may find it difficult to express her love in traditional ways, because she may not have experienced it in the "expected" way in her childhood. So don't worry if you don't hear the coveted "I love you" or receive gifts and flowers. Virgo's love is shown in small, practical tokens of concern - like when she buys you a bookmark for your book, or notices that you need vitamins because your skin looks tired.
We need this energy by 22 September. Let's move away from people who expect only their own needs to be met and adopt habits that show we truly care about others. In a time when surface dominance reigns supreme, Virgo reminds us of the value of true caring, attention to detail and practical love.
