VIRGO (Kanya) (150°00'-180°00')

Virgo, represented by three asterisms—Uttara Phalguni, Hastha, and Chitra—poses significant challenges in egoic development. Operating mysteriously, it stirs past ego-centric karmic forces for resolution, purging Tamasic impurities. Virgo brings the superconscient to consciousness, motivating individuals to strive for their objectives. Despite the pain and difficulties, Virgo focuses on purifying the soul, providing a new vision and psychological orientation for future tasks.

Analogous to Nature or Prakriti, Virgo works imperceptibly, generating power for the journey ahead. It operates at the junction of thought and action, manifesting effects in the struggle of the ego and new realizations. Symbolized by the Cosmic Virgin, Virgo represents the generative power of the universe, operating at the level of psychological impetus, urging individuals to function under its influence.

Virgo symbolizes the noumenal depth containing past karmic accumulations. Resolution under Virgo readies the entity for control over Nature or Siddhis, stored in the Great Deep. Entering Virgo, individuals face karmic accumulations, inducing courage and initiative to transcend them. Friction between inner spirit upsurge and karmic resistances manifests as life difficulties. After karmic nemesis, individuals proceed towards light, power, and liberation.

Virgo, symbolized by a maiden in a boat with grain and a burning flame, provides spiritual and physical ingredients for evolution. It represents protective and inspiring impulses, intensifying courage, initiative, and enthusiasm post-karmic resolution, leading to the next stage in Libra.
