Virgo Astrology-An Astrologer Interprets the Virgo Quest for Perfection
When you read sun sign astrology or ask an astrologer
what does it mean to have so much Virgo in the chart,
many times you will hear the word perfection. But does
that really apply to Virgos? How many times have you
seen a Virgo who appears far from being perfect? So
what is the story behind this key word perfection with
Virgo?
The quest of Virgo is service, to do something that
they know they are good at and to be able to help
others along the way. They do not need to be perfect,
it is only in the path of Virgo that they can limit
themselves in taking a risk in something that they may
not feel they have all the qualifications for that they
are not quite "perfect" enough to interview for a job
that they do not think they qualify for.
Somewhere along the way in life the Virgo child had an event where they felt they did not do
something good enough or that they were not good enough. The Virgo child adopted a belief that
they were not "perfect" or "good enough" in the eyes of a respected adult, whether it was a parent
teacher or other significant adult figure. This belief goes underground, so to speak, operating
unseen or unknown as a driving force that can hold back the talents and gifts of the Virgo person as
they are always waiting until they are "good enough" to reach the next dream or goal they set. In
the critical Virgo this event triggered anger and resistance where silently they became resentful at
being told or taught they were not good enough in whatever way and began to look at the world as
wrong, in essence criticizing people and things around them to thwart the rejection and pain of
being criticized.
The flip side of Virgo is the critical Virgo, always finding what is wrong. Instead of directing the
negative not good enough inward, it is directed outward to others and the world. Astrology charts
have many components and the difference between the outward critical demeaning Virgo and the
inward self effacing Virgo is seen through the rest of their respective chart combinations. In
essence however the mechanism is similar, that the critical Virgo sees the world through: Many
things in the world are not right, it is not good enough and I can be better by pointing that out to
you.
Ask your astrologer or look in your astrology chart for planets that support you in your Virgo
dilemma. Many times the positive qualities of Jupiter or your Venus will bring happiness in your life
and help in navigating your path of transformation. The Virgo may resist this idea, as they may think
that the path of perfection keeps them from falling into a deep pit of being on the bottom of the
barrel with nothing to offer. "I must be better" cries the voice from the subconscious, yet when
the inner child is soothed with the words that "you are good enough just as you are and yes you can
learn more and keep advancing wherever you want" then something clicks and they are free from
the chains that keep them from competing with others where they feel they will not be equal or
feel less than.
When the Virgo person becomes comfortable with who they are, and feel that what they have to
offer is good enough for now, and understand that life is an evolution and they continue to grow
whether or not the inner voice is chiding them that where they are in the moment is somehow wrong
or not enough they become free and happy.
Finding peace and happiness is difficult for the critical or introverted Virgo if he or she is giving
power away. Whether the powerlessness comes from not believing they cannot change the outside
world or the change themselves from within. However the solution is the same, finding peace with
what is and not resisting what is allows for life to flow. See the perfection in the imperfections of
