Virgo Ingress; August 22, 2009
August 22 to September 22
6. VIRGO: Mutable, pre-Autumn, Earth, Body.  I ANALYZE! Methodical,
skillful, discerning, principled.
      No man's knowledge can go beyond his experience. (Locke)
In the U.S., schools always start when the Sign, Virgo, is reigning.  My two older grandkids
have gone back to college and the young'uns are getting ready to go back. Among other
things, Virgo rules high school and trade schools.  Too, the leaves begin to fall from the trees
during Virgo.  I think that's why she always seems the color, brown.

Virgo is called, the Virgin, because her M traditionally was made with her legs crossed:        
 *
Scorpio M has a devilish pointed tail;          Everything means something, the glyphs, colors,
seasons, numbers, etc. in Astrology.          That's why it's so much fun to learn and use.  

I use Chiron as the ruler of Virgo because he was such a great teacher.  Ceres would be my
second choice, but I tend to see her akin to the beginning of the growing season of Taurus,
rather than the end in Virgo.

This chart can be difficult with its Cardinal Cross and Mars moving swiftly into Cancer.  We all
may have a more difficult time settling in to the season and times.  However, the first aspect
the Sun makes is a trine to Pluto, so that should make everything a bit easier. It's time to get
down to earth, to business, and to success!

* Of course, Virgo wasn't called, "the virgin" because her M legs are crossed, but the reason
is so hidden in antiquity, that it makes as much sense as anything else.  See:
