Venus in Virgo

Hello, my beloved friends! Ciamar a tha sibh an-diugh? 
     So here we are, sun about to leave Leo and enter Virgo in a couple of days. Moon is in Taurus giving us patience today and emotions a little bit more down to the earth. Today is a good day to appreciate the small valuable things in life and what you have achieved so far. In this post I will be discussing the issues that will be brought up by Virgo Venus that is already upon us (00º11' Virgo). Well, to me it is quite an important month once it will be my Venus return soon (I've got my natal Venus in Virgo 4º) and it'll bring new matters for love and relationships. Now we are in a sign where Venus does not feel totally comfortable (It is in fall in Virgo and Exalted in Pisces) and why is it that Venus does not feel well with the Virgo aspect? Virgo is quite a down to the earth sign, can be quite pessimistic and perfectionist, most of the times (and I can tell) thinking that physical love was not made for them/us.
     In Pisces the situation shifts once Pisces is the opposite complementary of Virgo we have the symbol of Agape love (ultimate form of love according to Plato) or as we call Universal love. This form of love brings the symbol of the fish, sacrifice, ultimate spiritual guidance (once the fish lives under water - spiritual and sentimental worlds). But it is not bad when Venus enters Virgo. This sign will draw much of your attention to socially, mentally, philosophically alike-thinking people to your life. In Leo, Venus was in search of self love, achievements and loyalty now in Virgo Venus will search for...perfection haha! Although we know it is impossible and that is what is most important here (especially for people born under Virgo Venus like myself).
     During the time Venus transits this sign we must bear in mind that independent of what happens life is not a to do list where we have to tick all our dos and don'ts. Life is not predictably easy to handle and although Virgo tends to be quite "I only believe if I see it" we must understand that not everything belongs to the material realm and that seeing is not as concrete as we think. For example, when someone creates a situation to deceive you: You'll believe momentarily but you will also see that, but who guarantees it is real? There are more things than our eyes can behold.
     In what concerns love, well, it is a good time to evaluate carefully your partner (if you're engaged in any way) and also to reevaluate your personal choices for love and your relationships in general (being with someone or not). Virgo is the fair maiden, pure, strong, idealistic and admirable. If you have a Virgo in your life those ideals must guide them (I have quite a lot of Virgos in my map, especially the rising sign). But let's talk about what you should be careful and what you should try to do during this season that goes up to the second fortnight of September:
In a nutshell:

DOs

•  Try to be optimistic about love, it is made for everyone and you deserve it too. 
•  Be organised but not paranoid, try to take easy with compulsive jobs and paperwork
•  Take a time to relax and procrastinate with the loved ones - it will bring balance to the grumpy side of Virgo. 
• It is a time we tend to self-judge a lot, especially appearance: YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL the way you are, don't try to change just because John likes your hair like this and Mary like that, how do YOU like it? 
• Get some love in the fridge (the one from Leo season) and use on.

DON'Ts

• Don't judge people just because they don't take love the same way you do, not everyone agrees that love should be like you idealise. 
• As Mary Shelley (she was a Virgo :P) brilliantly said: I will fight for all people who want to live their many aspects of love and I will live my own truth. 
• Don't be too hard on your partner or loved ones, they won't know what you expect of them, people can't read minds yet, okay?
• Don't let small things upset you, it is okay to go against the rules sometimes, alright?
• Don't diminish yourself, everything is possible for those who thrive and persist. 
• Don't lose control: Stay neutral when it comes to attack or defend, don't hurt yourself just because people are mean. 
• Don't do things just because other people do, live your own truth :3

      We entered Virgo today, in the first decan we tend to be shadowed by Virgo alone, so quite intense virgo energy during these first weeks, on the second decan we'll be shadowed by Capricorn, it will bring us a kind of narrow minded state that we must avoid being too grumpy and bound to work and material achievements. On the third decan Taurus will be the shadow in Virgo and it will be time to be the noble maiden fair, time to let go our prejudice and trophies, we must understand that status is not all in life and feeling is more important than having. 

That is mostly all for now dear ones, I hope you have a Virgo season full of love and balance. And Oh! I was about to forget...With Leo leaving the sun try to focus on what you have achieved during this season and put together the Queen and King in yourself, be the wise sage now and let go of your Ego. Be very happy! 

Many Blessings!
