Venus in Virgo, strong Warrioress

Venus enters VIRGO July 21-August 16 a very quick sprint in the earthy, workaholic, perfectionist, service oriented sign where we love to get our work, diet, our health, our budgets, and all of our shit together.

Venus was known as the Goddess of LOVE and WAR in antiquity. The Sign Virgo was originally associated, now archaically as VIRAGO a WOMAN of “masculine ” strength, whole Goddess/woman, a Warrioress. Virgo, symbolized by the Virgin Harvest Goddess, is a very ancient Constellation. Their Mode and Element is Mutable earth, they are in their bodies most definitely and they are adaptable.

“A virago is a woman who demonstrates exemplary and heroic qualities. The word comes from the Latin word virāgō meaning vigorous’ from vir meaning “man” or “man-like” to which the suffix -āgō is added, a suffix that creates a new noun of the third declension with feminine grammatical gender.” -Wikipedia

 “A woman, however, if exceptional enough could earn the title virago. In doing so, she surpassed the expectations for what was believed possible for her gender and embodied masculine-like aggression[4] and/or excellence. Virago, then, was a title of respect and admiration. In Christianity, a nun or holy woman who had become equal in divinity to male monks through practiced celibacy, exemplary religious practice and devotion, and intact virginity, was considered to have surpassed the limitations of her femaleness and was called virago.”

The word virago has almost always had an association with cultural gender transgression. There are recorded instances of viragos (such as Joan of Arc) fighting battles, wearing men’s clothing, or receiving the tonsure.[3]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virago

Virgo Constellation Astrology

VIRGO is the largest Constellation. What we know as The Virgin Goddess as Demeter to the Greeks, was originally known as VIRAGO. A woman of “masculine” strength or spirit; a female warrior. We all know that VENUS was known both as the Goddess of LOVE AND WAR, so before the patriarchy really imbalanced her obvious physical strength, Virgo meant VIRAGO. The latter Virgin Goddess originally meant she was a parthenogensis Goddess too capable of self-fertility. She is not a-sexual. These women were sacred sexual Priestesses.

Whole and complete unto herself, needing no man at all. Virgo is the Great Mother, the Goddess of the earth and the Harvest shown holding an ear of corn, relating to mysteries of life death and transformation, part of the Eleusinian mysteries of rebirth. 

You just need to be very pure and hygienic, dedicated and focussed if you are going to be able to give birth parthenogenically or to be with a Virgo of either sex.

Virgo is apparently the most populated Astrology sign according to statistics.

Out with the VENUS in LEO drama and the passion, the power-mongering, Royalty treatments. Even though Sun enters LEO July 22, 2021 and It’s all about ME attitude. We need a break from all that Venus and MARS in LEO drama.

Venus in Virgo, in the 6th house naturally, is in it’s “FALL” because VENUS is considered to be exalted in PISCES so sheis considered weak in the 6th sign. 

Venus in Virgo’s is service-oriented “How can I help you” peeps.” For a Virgo work is their religion.

Virgo’s are not generally very emotional or passionate they have practical emotional control. This placement is very modest, earthy, the servants traditionally. The waiters and waitresses of the Zodiac. They are workaholics, perfectionists, intelligent, organized, budget-conscious, worriers. Totally opposite to LEO.

VENUS in Virgo

imparts VENUSian values- feminine, creative, relationships, values, to all things VIRGO.

Venus in Virgo peeps are the workaholics and perfectionists of the ZODIAC. Occasionally they appear messy but they’ve got it all organized in their heads. My Dad was a totally messy Virgo. They are sensitive and easily hurt.

It’s Marie Kondo declutter as a spiritual act time for sure.

HEALTH

Health is a huge issue for Virgo/Venus in Virgo as they do worry a lot and that affects their health. They often have underlying health issues. Their weakest body part is the Upper intestines and they should avoid drinking alcohol, greasy, heavy and spicy foods. They are very disciplined and health conscious so they are often working out, doing yoga, on special food diets.  They often work in the health care system and can be doctor’s, dentists, kinesiologists, chiropractors, natural health practitioners, administrators or salespeople with the health care system.

Naturally accountants or anyone who pays attention to details, statistics and the like. They are usually excellent money managers, and very tight with money, they  love budgets. They love “freebies”

With Venus in Virgo, you gotta love your work. If not find the work that you do love. 

DATING DURING VENUS IN VIRGO SEASON

women, love, values turn to earthy practical shoes and budget shopping, wearing brown or harvest ochres or golden shades. Women dress more conservatively business-like, more modest, sensible pumps, blue jeans, simple and clean styling.

Virgo’s are very focussed, detail-oriented, nitpicky, perfectionist, never satisfied, workaholics -you will have to pry them away from their desks, as they are married to their job’s and they may avoid intimacy because they love information, social media, especially hands-on books, etc.

Mercury rules VIRGO’s we must always remember that. They are intellectual, info gatherers, and they will analyze your potential first.

VIRGO is the sign that is associated with THE HERMIT in the TAROT

They don’t have to be all alone but they are private, humble, service-oriented people.

You don’t have to splurge on an expensive date to impress a Virgo. Take them to a health-conscious, organic nouvelle cuisine simplistic resto.  They love places that seem to offer good value, as they do not have expensive tastes necessarily. They like tasteful things and they love bargains. They like spas.

Virgo’s love to read and talk, they like Hi-brow culture, a good play, see lectures, or matinee movies.

Remember they are down to earth, nothing too fussy types. They love to and need to be in nature. Camping, hiking, bicycling, walk in the countryside.

VENUS INCONJUNCTS SATURN on July 30

An awkard day of disconnecting from feelings too much.

During this time your upper digestion will likely be more sensitive. Especially when Mars also enters Virgo and agitates Virgo’s already sensitive digestive tract. Do watch your diet very carefully, eating well and being meticulous about what you eat.  Good time to initiate a new cleaner, more plant-based diet too. The body works best with natural medicines.

These 150 degree aspects are when the planets and elements don’t understand or see each other. You may feel wounded and vulnerable. Self care is very important.

Perfect lovers, Venus and Mars in Virgo

November 2 is a big day. This is the third and final lust match for Venus and Mars in 2015.

They are in VIRGO 24+ degrees to be precise and opposite CHIRON the Wounded Healer in Pisces. That means trouble in the city of the heart, in the passion pits of intimacy. There is a lot of heart healing to do and practical hard work to get there. 

This is also close to the Solar Eclipse degree of September 13th.  Solar Eclipses change the basis identity of Venus and Mars the he and she factors. 

Lets look back over Venus and Mars previous rendezvous this year. Think back on what has been going on, or not in your love life these past 10 months. 

1st. On 2/22 a magical number February 22 @   1° + Aries

This was a new fiery beginning for love in Aries. Mars was in his own sign. Aries women may have taken command. Cardinal signs, Cardinal, Libra and Capricorn were affected the most. This degree was also just eclipsed on the blood Moon of  September 27, indicating that there may still be a lot of emotional clearing to do.

2nd. September 1   14°  Leo

This was a very passionate affair with Venus RETROGRADE. This was a lover come back to me energy. Many relationships also broke up during this time period. The Fires signs felt it the most, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. Aquarius was affected by opposition. The down side of Leo is pride, arrogance, vanity, too much show, too much drama. The Retrograde could have brought this out. Sounds familiar?

3rd. Third time should be lucky. November 2.    24° + Virgo. 

This event marks their last conjunction until October 5, 2017. 

THERE WILL BE NO VENUS MARS CONJUNCTIONS IN 2016!!!

Mars rules fire and water signs of Aries and Scorpio. Venus rules Taurus and Libra so she is more familiar with this very  humble hard-working perfectionist sign of Virgo than Mars is. 

VIRGO is the sign of perfection. The cultural fairy tale is seeking that “perfect lover.”

The Truth is there is no perfection, there is reality, there is working on it. Addiction to perfection is a serious psychological problem. We are bombarded with our cultures ideas of what perfection is, movie stars, money, lifestyles, perfect fitness. 

Virgos are not status seekers but do care about doing it right. The downside of Mars and Venus in Virgo is criticism. No one will ever measure up least of all yourself. So finding how to love and accept yourself or maybe just like  and accept yourself is a huge task. The Hermit is the sign associated with Virgo. This is  a good thing because you must learn to like your own company first before you can be comfortable and intimate with another. 

Mars is sex and so is Venus, In Virgo sex is work, and the work hard at it. 

VIRGO Love is very much about devoting yourselves to the other, to the Beloved. A Mars in Virgo man or woman may works with his/her hands,make something functional, be an accountant, writer, a doctor, chiropractor, midwife, professional organizer, or pharmacist. They can be nature lovers, working with the environment. Love is always demonstrated through something practical to show they love you.

VIRGO LOVERS  work together, communicate, are responsible, and serve the community. Love serves a purpose, it isn’t about flashy anything. It is conservative, natural and simple. Venus & Mars lovers share the same love of health, of taking care of their bodies, eating right, exercising.  They like to have practical tools and results.  They love to bike, run or be near nature. They love to camp.  Venus and Mars need to be intellectually compatible. They like stimulating conversations, books, reading and analyzing situations. They know they can count on each other. 

I know it doesn’t sound romantic, it isn’t about drama and ego-gooey stuff. It is clean, lean and efficient in all things. No wasting, very grounded. Virgo is the land’s harvest, food, it tends to wiccan, pagan and old-fashioned back-to-the-land philosophy. As lovers they remember what each other wants,and serves the others needs.
