Zodiac Sign Meanings Part 1: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo

I hadn't read it in the last two weeks before it was published. And there's just that ability to notice that, to notice the details, to notice the little things that stand out to you because you have this unique ability to see that that other people might miss or overlook. AC: Yes, totally. As many typos as I'm guilty of, there would be tons more without Kait going through a bunch of my stuff. KS: Oh my God! I just realized that we all have

ners who have personal planets in Virgo. CB: That's funny. KS: Because I always ask Peter to check my stuff too.

And not only he will edit the lines, where this word appears. His grammatical skills are phenomenal and he'll say, "You need to change this sentence," or "You've used the wrong tense here," whatever. But he'll also do the structural type editing where he'll say, "You've gone off track here," or "This piece doesn't connect to this piece," that kind of thing. AC: And I think the person who edits this podcast also has a Virgo Moon. CB: Stephen? Well. KS: Shout out to all the wonderful editors in our lives because we couldn't do what we do... or at the quality level.

That's the thing: Virgo is doing quality control. CB: Correct. KS: And the people you see have Virgo support behind the scenes, which helps improve the quality of their production. AC: On a general note... CB: That's a really good one. KS: Yes. AC: On a general note... KS: 'Quality control'. AC: A lot of people have Virgo planets, but they have other things, and sometimes your “quality control”

s can get in the way of your “being brave enough to publish something.” KS: That's a beautiful way to talk about the problems of the "perfectionist." AC: Yes, having an eye like that means you also have an eye like that for flaws in everything you do, and that's either a gift or a curse.

If you're a person who also wants to be seen and wants to show things to be seen, and you have that Virgo eye, you think, "No, I can find eight thousand problems with this." KS: It's funny. Speaking of other helpers, my wonderful assistant Katrina has a ton of planets in Virgo. And we were talking the other day and she said, "But I procrastinate," and I said, "Yeah." "Procrastination" is actually a Virgo trait in that it comes not from an unwillingness to do something, but from a worry that what you're trying to do won't be good enough;

It won't live up to the standard you have. And they get stuck saying, "I can't even start because I haven't figured out the whole plan," or "I can't conceptualize how it's going to be perfect, so I shouldn't start until it's finished." “I have that plan.” And one of the challenges of the Virgo planets, if you will, is to discover or learn that you can take the first two steps even if you don't have a completely perfect plan. CB: So perfectionism is the potential downfall. KS: Yes, and how that manifests itself and how it can interfere with what Austin was saying about the expression of his own ideas or his own genius, if you will.

CB: Correct. It's funny because sometimes there is an overlap. Sometimes Saturn can seem almost "Virgo", but there is this idea of ​​"pedantic", of being pedantic or scrupulous, precise or demanding. And that's commonly something that comes up with Virgo, but sometimes it can also be a Saturn type thing. AC: Yes, there is some Venn diagram overlap. KS: Yes. And I think specifically the Mercury-Saturn aspects have a lot to do with the standards and the rules of language or the rules of mechanics, whatever it is, but there is definitely a crossover. And I mean, I'm sure Austin and I would say that anyway.

We wouldn't just say it anyway, but we both... AC: Having Saturn in Virgo... KS: ...we have Saturn in Virgo. I mean, my husband and I sometimes argue about words. He says, “This is a better word for it.” I'm like, "No, no, I'm trying to say this." And then the argument is about the word, not about what we were actually discussing and that's the kind of thing Virgo does on a Saturday night. CB: Correct. KS: Word nerd. CB: Good times. KS: That was a good one, Chris. Okay, what else do we want to say? CB: I feel like there has to be.

So have we said enough? We have said many positive things. Have we said enough negative things about Virgo? AC: Virgo is already very aware of the negative things about Virgo. KS: Yes, they don't need us to help them put them out. I mean, the phrase I say often is "paralysis by analysis" for Virgo. Therefore, overthinking can lead to inaction. And not all people with Virgo planets identify with that, but many do. But since we just expressed our love for Virgo editors, they are actually wonderful. Even if they think they are not, everyone else thinks they are exceptional.

CB: Because one thing I want to be careful about is not relegating Virgo entirely to a supporting role. What is a manifestation of Virgo when he is the leader and not playing the supporting role? AC: World famous neurosurgeon. KS: Beautiful. CB: That's good. KS: Yes. The technical/mechanical, that is, working with devices and things. AC: Yes. In addition, there are completely "financial" Virgos who are very good at accumulating and multiplying money. CB: Yeah, that's a good one. Mercury traditionally had many commercial activities... KS: Business. CB: ...and business and some banking connotations. AC: And money has become increasingly fickle over the last fifty years.

KS: Yes. AC: They are not gold coins that change hands. They are numbers, growth rates and interests; Now it's all time for fickle math. KS: Yeah, with credit rates and interest and things like that, all of that is incredibly... AC: Mercurial. KS: The way large financial packages are put together is complex: very fickle. CB: Sometimes there are some good musicians. I know some musicians who have Virgo rising. Donald Glover, 'Childish Gambino', has Virgo on the rise. Billy Corgan and Kurt Cobain, of course, were born within a month of each other and both have very similar, if slightly different, Virgo rising and chart positions.

Paul McCartney has Virgo rising. KS: Yes, Freddie Mercury, the Sun, Mercury and rising, all in Virgo. And Whitney Houston is also Mercury in Virgo. CB: Oh, sure. KS: Yes. So there is something about the technical competence that Virgo has that can lead to excellence in a variety of fields because of the competence that Virgo grants. CB: Correct. And speaking of technical competence, the two founders of Apple Computer, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, have Virgo rising. KS: Beautiful. AC: Yeah, that makes sense. CB: Although the Wozniak thing was interesting because he also had Mercury in Virgo and of course he was the actual programmer at the beginning...

KS: Yes. CB: ...while Steve Jobs was the leader. KS: More ideas/creative person and then Wozniak made them. AC: Steve Jobs is also the Mars in Aries man. KS: Yes, he is very combustible. CB: Yes, and yours was modified by having Mercury in Aquarius. This is an important thing that maybe worth mentioning for everyone looking at this in terms of your rising

sign

, that your rising

sign

and having it as a certain

zodiac

sign is going to be important in terms of character traits for you, but then modifies. It depends largely on the sign the ruler of the Ascendant is in and modifies those energies and mixes them in some way.

AC: Yes, that's the art. CB: Although that is a completely separate topic. I think we achieved it. We got to the end. It only took us three hours, but we managed to get through the first six signs of the

zodiac

. KS: Excellent. Hurrah! CB: Yes, this was amazing. Thank you all very much for joining me today. This was so much fun. KS: It's a pleasure. CB: We'll be back next month to do part two and finish the next six zodiac signs, right? AC: Indeed. KS: Yes. CB: Very good, I'll be waiting for you. They both teach introductory astrology courses or have different modules where they go more in depth with the signs of the zodiac, the planets and other basic concepts of astrology, right?

AC: Absolutely. KS: Yes. CB: Okay. KS: I think I have a six-week class called Practical Astrology for Beginners. Actually, in the first module, we are making signs and houses. Do you want more about that? That's what I have as a basic program. And Austin, what do you have? AC: I do four weeks on planets, four weeks on signs, four weeks on houses and then four weeks on five other things, but that's the basics class. KS: Yes, perfect. CB: Brilliant. And I address and teach all of this through my course on Hellenistic Astrology, as well as my book, Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune, available in fine bookstores around the world.

And in fact, I forgot to mention in our last forecast episode that I finally released it as an ebook and you can get it through Google Books. Go to HellenisticAstrology.com/book and you'll find a link to the Google Books version, which is now available to everyone who has been demanding for the past few years that I publish an e-book version. Alright, guys... KS: Congratulations. CB: Thank you. We did it. Thank you so much. This was amazing. Thank you all for listening. I hope you all enjoyed this, please let us know. Thank you to all the patrons who support the podcast and make it possible every month.

I couldn't do it without you. And yes, we will return again. I guess I'll be back in a couple of weeks to do the forecast episode. KS: By November. CB: For November. Bright. Alright, well, until then, I'll see you again next month for part two. I'll put the link to that in the description once it's available. And otherwise, that's all for today. Thank you very much for listening and we'll see you next time. AC: Goodbye. KS: Goodbye.
