Mercury in Virgo means I still get to write Virgo posts 🙂
Ever try to talk to someone whose mind was tied up in knots? VIRGO knots.
I have a Virgo Moon and so does my roommate. I see these knots in myself. Maybe you do too.
This evening she was working on her blog and I was helping her. That’s how I saw it anyway 😉
I had been doing a reading and was taking a break, needed to clear my energy and yet I felt “in the zone.” So she was working on her blog post and I saw her overthinking everything and wanting to delete it and being self-critical and… destroying. She was destroying her own creation, or wanting to… and this speaks to more than Virgo… but I said to her: leave it. Break it into pieces (it was quite long) and make a few posts out of it. And continue. Keep going. Continue. Continue. Continue. Continue. Keep going.
See, the blog subject is something, someone, she’s obsessed with (i.e. a certain public figure) and I was telling her that obsessions have strength! Energy! Use it! Keep going! Keep blogging! Don’t turn the energy in on itself. And I said to her, all Venus in Leo, all haughty: LISTEN TO ME. I know. RIGHT NOW I KNOW!
When we were done chatting, she came out of her room and said, “Oh, it is breaking up very nicely into sections.” Smile 🙂
Trying to get a Taurus Sun/Virgo Moon, trying to get ALL THAT EARTH TO LET GO? It can feel impossible because the Virgo has to analzye and turn over in their mind everything you say to make sure it’s sound. They don’t take it on faith. They NEED faith.
Roomie also has a busy 12th House. She gets in her own way and yes she SELF-UNDOES.
Let it go, Virgo. Let it go… You can’t move forward if you don’t let it go.
Virgo holds on. Taurus holds on. With their teeth! How do you get the earthbound to fly? You don’t. You just hope some of your hope can… leak into them? No. Wrong metaphor. They want it verbal, you know? They want it mind. They want to feel it, touch it, they want evidence.
But I told her: you’ve got Jupiter in the 1st House. You know all about faith. You can do this.
You don’t get an earthbound Taurus/Virgo to fly. You push them off the ledge. And they come out of their room and tell you that you were right heh heh heh.
Letting it go. Letting it all go. Into space, literally. Cyberspace. Her precious words and thoughts.
Roomie overedits. Everything. She overedits her writing, she overedits her life. Instead of living it.
Virgo mind cannot set itself free by using Virgo mind. Virgo mind needs help imagining another way.
Anyone reading this, please don’t make the same mistake. Yes, write. Yes, edit. But live too.
Mercury was the winged messenger. You must fly.

thanks 🙂 it’s funny you say “find your balance” because my mercury is in libra.
a Libra without balance is like a Virgo without a broom (real or imagined) or a Cancer without someone to nurture (hopefully real). You *can* find it. It’s inside you.
great post. i am in the same bind 🙁 my virgo sun is intercepted and “calling” in the 10th house. i am uber-independent and perfectionistic to the detriment of other things, such as my home life. pisces intercepted in my 4th house – i need my home to be a retreat where i can recharge and let my imagination flow. but being too busy working (my day job AND on my aspirations) leaves me with no energy to be a homemaker. i look at my home and want it to be PERFECT and yet i hate the repetitive (read: inefficiency) aspect of chores. a messy home bums me out. i can’t get perspective on this 🙁 i need to get off my butt and organize things but then what should be a speedbump just throws me off course and i give up. argh!!
awwww dorchid! Be the tightrope walker. Find your balance inside the interception… Take that broom and walk across the wire with it. And then back again.
Thanks for reading 🙂
I have a busy 12th house too and I really relate to the line you wrote “She gets in her own way and yes she SELF-UNDOES.”
Its a bit freaky!
Yes, 12th House syndrome 🙂
Bahaha! I have Virgo Sun, Taurus Moon (and Ascendant) with a lot of Scorpio thrown into the mix and I totally relate to your roomie. I couldn’t get 12th house energy to work for me (mine is so empty) so I finally this year tapped into my buddy’s Sagittarius energy – I have Jupiter in the 7th! Learn when to let go, when to have faith in things working out, and other Sagittarius-type stuff has been extremely healing and soothes all that earthy anxiety that Virgo tends to suffer. Oh and, he is right every time! He too has a Taurus Moon so he understand the pitfalls of earth energy and will stamp his feet at me if I fall back into it haha.
Hi Lindsey! Yes Sag energy for you yes! My theory is that when a Sun (or Moon) sign gets stuck, look to what squares you. Or opposes. To help shake you out of your corner. Yes yes yes to all you say here. I was going to write about this again soon….
Totally unrelated to this post, MoonPluto but thought I’d mention a GREAT movie to watch on a DVD: Mademoiselle Chandon.
It beautifully illustrates Venus in 12th as well as Moon Pluto aspect.
And the way it is shot: Virgo through and through.
Perhaps you’ll have time to see it.
AND I recommend the interview with the director in the “extras”
Thank you Joanna. That’s awesome. I will see if it’s on Netflix!
