Routines, health, homework, housework, purity. These are some Virgo keywords. There are many Virgo keywords. Sometimes, but not always, when I talk to the Virgo people, they ask about health. They ask about work.  But what’s underneath it all is purity, that which is, or is not, clean. Clean meaning… correct, direct.

It might be too hot for me to leave the house today so I’m staying in with you, writing here. It’s been a while. Yesterday I had a conversation with a wise woman who told me about a time in her life when yoga helped her. My grandmother did yoga. I grew up with knowing that yoga was health. The last time I took a yoga class was twenty-five years ago. So this morning, because I listen to wise women, I took a yoga class on Zoom. Yes, it’s not the same as in person but better than nothing and there were parts of my body that felt more open and parts of my body that felt like they were tingling. And then I did my usual exercise (I need a lot of exercise and a lot of rest) and then I ate breakfast and then decided to sit here and write you this letter. Routines, health, homework, housework, purity.

I said on Twitter: the body is the unconscious. What is it that you don’t want to see?

Mars and the South Node in Virgo mean that it’s time for you to really end something, really let it go. South Node is a cleanse. If Virgo is the body and the house (where you live/exist) is the body and Mars (action) is fusing with (conjunct) the South Node (the letting go) then… you must take action. It’s now or never. Time to clean up your routines, your health, your homework, your housework, your purity. Maybe it sounds overwhelming. It’s too much. Well, lucky for us, Virgo rules the miniature, the detail. So you can pick one small thing and adjust it.

I can’t remember the last time that part of my back that I don’t know the name for was talking to me… or my knees. My knees were talking to me in a different way. And my big toe. I never ever think about what my big toe has to say. How many of us live in fear, are scared of, what our bodies have to say. Neglect is easy. Listening is hard. Bodies tell so many stories. I know you know this. Thank you for coming back, I can hear my body say. But I also hear my body has new stories.

Mars is not soft. The South Node is not soft. It might feel like a cut, like a break. The past is gone. The cool thing though is that you are a creative being and you can make something new.
