"I'm A Virgo" - How Your Sun Sign Can Lead You "Home"
This was my Virgo horoscope today:
Jan 30, 2024 - New information could be coming at you from all sides today, Virgo. Books, magazines, TV, the Internet, and conversations with friends are likely to bring exciting knowledge your way that reinforces some of your own convictions. Your intuitive abilities aren't lying fallow either. Insights and revelations could come to you that blend well with what you're learning from outside sources. Write down your thoughts. You'll want to put them to work for you later. -Horoscope.com
All this COULD happen, but this horoscope is about as personalized as those sayings on the Taco Bell sauce packets.
When you hear people say " I am a Taurus", "I am an Aries", what people are referring to is their Sun Sign.
(A label most people have heard of because of these horoscope columns.)
It's fun to read about but not realistic enough to take seriously...
Or is it?
We ALL have a Sun Sign but the thing is, we have A LOT of other planets and variables that are in our astrology as well!
So first things first:
There is no way the Sun Sign will describe ALL aspects of you - That expectation is ridiculous.
I mean, have you ever seen a natal chart?
It’s complex AF!
Your Sun Sign tells about a very specific PORTION of you.
Thus why, those horoscope readings may not resonate.
So in this article, we will talk about what a Sun Sign IS and what it is not and how to use it to lead you back to yourself ("Home").
So FIRST let's talk about what the f**k a Sun Sign really is.
You Sun Sign is obtained by looking at the star constellation the sun was passing through when you were born.
The Sun was passing through Virgo when my happy ass arrived to Earth.
As all things in nature, the sun in astrology is a symbol for life archetypes and experiences.
And Zodiac signs are the STYLES you take to manifest those archetypes.
Ok I get it if you're ???ing me right now
I promise this is going somewhere!
Imagine that the sun is the main character in your life play and the WAY they behave, the clothes they wear, their STYLE of being, is dictated by the zodiac sign they're in.
Think, Winnie the Pooh is the main character out of a cast of animals, and he just so happens to be a Sun Sign in Pisces so he tends to day dream a lot and be really imaginative while he is out and about eating Honey and sh*t.
Are you following me so far?
Your Sun Sign is the STYLE in which you go after fulfillment of your purpose here on Earth.
It is the STYLE in which you stand out to others and yourself.
For example, if you're a Virgo Sun, the BARE BONES archetype you may relate to as an individual will be:
A necessity to master your chosen craft.
An interest in a range of things.
The tendency to lean towards Introversion.
A pressure to get it all right
Health/wellness orientation
Judgement of what is right or wrong for you and guarding against doing wrong
Self-sufficiency, freedom
Pushing yourself to new limits
Moving between opposite parts of you.
So as I go about life and accomplish what feels most fulfilling to me, I will approach it from this style, as a Virgo, and feel these tendencies strongly.
Every day, I feel this pull to create, master my craft, consider my health and incorporate all aspects of myself while fighting self-judgement.
Lord KNOWS it took me YEARS to get past my perfectionism and embrace writing my newsletters.
Virgo-Cado
A Sun Sign DOES NOT:
Determine everything about you.
Classify you as one thing.
Commit you to one outcome in life.
Chani Nicholas (a Fellow astrologer and Author) describes the Sun Sign as "the ways in which we are comfortable shining".
Think of the Sun's role in nature: To bring daylight, to make things bloom, to make the damn world go round - Literally.
Your Sun Sign is the style in which you ground back into your own gravity of whats meaningful and important to you.
This style is how you shine, how you reach for your own flourishing and how you come to life.
"Alright enough, lady. Why is any of this important?" You are probably asking.
Here is the bottom line:
It's important to know what TENDENCIES you find yourself gravitating to over and over again, so that when times get TOUGH, you have a "solar sense" of what puts you back on your orbit.
Your Sun Sign is the broad strokes of your painting, the underpainting, we can say.
This style of being is your foundation that you can always depend on and go back to.
When sh*t gets tough, my Virgo-self jumps in and gets me back on course.
It is my Virgoan tendency to organize chaos and be better every single day.
As a Virgo is how I approach calamity and that is how I shine. It is how I steer full steam ahead towards my dreams.
If you feel lost, getting in touch with the ways you manifest your Sun Sign can make you feel grounded.
If you're a Capricorn Sun, you will feel aimless without a goal or a future plan.
It's time to create one.
If you are a Gemini, your life doesn't feel as good without getting to learn new things.
Fill. your. life. with. cool. shit. you. find. interesting.
If you are a Sagittarius, exploration and expansion are part of your core.
Put yourself out there.
When you understand your Sun Sign, you can understand your style of comfort, how you best function, what you bring to the table, and overall your style of going after what you want.
