Virtues of Virgo
The virtue of Virgos springs from courtesy which is cultivated into tact of heart. It is embodied in the graceful gesture of bowing. Virgos can apply the their ability to observe and listen to the phenomena of nature, her cycles and spiritual realms. The acute discernment of Virgos allows them to digest the essential useful meaning of situations. Virgos can hone their abilities to listen for the right time to share and the right time to employ restraint. By holding warm silence for another we support and hold doors open for them to enter and express their own soulful wisdom.
Vices of Virgo
When one chooses how others “should” organize their reality then they are imprisoned in your judgment. If one rudely barges in without an invitation, one disturbs the intrinsic wholeness of a situation. The polarity of virtue and vice can be embodied here as the distinction between the temple priestess and the whore. One holds pristine sacred space. The other receives a misqualified energy into her space.
