VIRGO: I Analyze

Element: Earth

Ruling Planet: Mercury

Power Chakra: Throat

Part of Body Ruled by Virgo: The nervous systems and intestines

Virgo season begins this year on August 22nd and goes until September 21st. Ruled by Mercury, communication is top of the list of important qualities. Aiming for perfection and order with a side of intelligence, their exquisite logic and need to know even the tiniest of detail, makes Virgo’s the go to person for solving the world’s problems. That is because they need to know the why and how of everything before utilizing the information to better the world. They will ask questions until they completely understand. Their dominant key word is ANALYZE. Full of willpower, dedication, and ambition, Virgo’s are not born to sit around and procrastinate. You would rarely see them put off tomorrow what can be done today.

What Can Virgo’s Teach us?

♍️ Communication is key to success- Virgo’s teach us that we are able to achieve more through collaboration. No one person holds the key to all greatness. It comes from creating, sharing, listening, and the understanding of thoughts and ideas from multiple individuals to create something bigger, bolder, and better.

♍️ Ask questions - Virgo’s ask us to take nothing at face value. It has little to do with a lack of trust, it’s a need to understand and have all the facts before utilizing the information. To them, there is no need for vague ideas and emotional judgements. They need to see it to believe it.  Some Virgo’s will admit that they need to have a little more faith and trust in synchronicity rather than focusing on only the hard, true, and proven facts so it’s important to keep balance here.

♍️ Have control over your finances - A Virgo is not afraid to tell you that if you don’t have the money for something, don’t buy it. Virgo’s can teach us the importance of a budget and sticking to it in order to avoid foolish spending and unnecessary self-indulgence. While financial education is important to a Virgo and they will offer their advice at any chance they get, keep in mind that they practice what they preach. Virgo’s are valued for their honesty.

Astrology & Chakras

If you didn't see my last article on Leo's, continue reading this section to learn more about the astrology and chakra connection. Chakra means “wheel” in Sanskrit and consists of channels within the subtle body (what you cannot see or touch) that circulate free flowing energies. There are 7 major chakras within that run from the base of the spine up to the crown of the head. All correlate to different physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the body.

There is a powerful relationship between chakras and astrology. Although each zodiac correlates to all 7 chakras, a single zodiac sign has a chakra that is more dominant than the others. Hence the term, power chakra. When this power chakra becomes out of balance, individuals with this zodiac in their chart will feel the impact on a higher and more intense level.

For instance, Virgo’s that have an imbalance in their throat chakra, may not be able to communicate in a calm and logical way. They could also become closed minded and hypercritical unable to listen to other people's ideas believing that their way is the only way, or that they know best. Their creativity could take a turn for the worst leading them to become uninspired and unmotivated. Their worry free, I’ve got this attitude could backfire causing them to become anxious feeling as though they are failing in life. Because the nervous system and intestines are ruled by Virgo, it is necessary to focus on keeping the throat chakra open. This allows disrupted communication between the brain, spinal cord, and nerves allowing the body to function in a more healthy and balanced manner. Incorporating yoga postures that allow this energy to flow freely are critical. Again, noting that anyone can have this imbalance, Virgo’s will feel it on a more extreme level. A level than can get to a crippling degree if not managed.

Although there are many ways to ensure that your chakras are in alignment, here are a few yoga postures that can be added to anyone’s practice to promote emotional and physical balance within the gross and subtle bodies.

Yoga Postures to Align with Virgo’s Power Chakra, the Throat

*Please note, that while astrology and chakra healing can offer guidance and support, they should not replace professional medical or psychological advice. These practices are complimentary and can be used alongside conventional treatments to enhance your overall wellbeing. Before practicing yoga, please consult with your physician and always practice postures in a safe manner.

Rabbit Pose

Sasamgasana

Begin by bringing your knees and feet together with your hips towards your heels. Top of feet will be on the mat. As you tuck your chin, clasp onto your heels and gently roll your body forward bringing your forehead towards your knees. Keeping your shoulders away from your ears, grip your heels tightly, allowing your forehead to hover the mat while pushing your butt up and away from your heels.  Avoid putting weight to the top of your head.

Bridge Pose

Setu Banda Sarvangasana

Lying on your back with arms to your side, palms facing down. Bring knees towards ceiling allowing your feet to be flat on the mat and hip-distance apart. Begin to lift hips up by pressing through your feet and legs. For more chest opening, tuck your shoulders under, interlace your fingers, and reach hands towards your heels. Gaze should be toward the ceiling.

Plow Pose

Halasana

Lying on your back with arms at your sides, lift knees towards your chest. Once lifted, take both hands to your hips or low back for support and use your core to slowly lift hips off of the floor. Legs move up and over your head while toes reach towards the floor. Arms can stay on hips/low back or come down to sides with palms facing down or hands clasped. Press down through upper arms and shoulders to create more lift stacking hips over shoulders. Keep chin away from chest while gazing at your belly.

How Do You Know if You Have This Zodiac Sign in Your Chart?

Most likely you are familiar with your sun sign. It is the sign that is more widely known as it relates to the month and day you were born. So, your sun sign is not a Virgo. Guess what? You could still have Virgo placements in your birth chart. Typically, you’d focus on your sun, moon, and rising (ascendant) signs to gain a more thorough picture and getting your birth chart is easy. There are multiple sources online that will give you a free report. I used astrologyzone.com. You will need your birth date and the exact time you were born for the most accurate information as planets are constantly rotating.

For example, you know of someone that has the same birthday as you but you both have COMPLETELY different personalities. Thats because your natal placements are different. Of course you are not going to be anything like the other! Even if you are twins, you could have different placements which is why the time you were born is so critical.

Still no Virgo in your natal chart? It doesn’t matter! You can still enjoy the wonderful benefits of these 3 postures as you still have the Throat Chakra within you. Life happens and things naturally get out of balance when we are not prepared for it. So, practice these postures anytime and anywhere!

Conclusion

Virgo season is officially here and focusing on communication, additional questioning to gather all of the facts, and keeping our finances in check are just a few of the things that we can take away from the conscientious Virgo. Like the Virgin, utilize the knowledge, information, and skills you've cultivated to harness this energy in a way that will enrich the world. If you have additional questions, please feel free to reach out or leave it in the comment section. Stay tuned for the next astrology article on the zodiac sign, Libra which will be posted on September 22nd.
