Astrology Notes II: Earth Sign Edition
I like taking photos of the most random views and places and just posting them as photos for here. Bit by bit you get to see what my city looks like🫶🏾 Cool thing is that from this particular stop, I’m only a good 15-30 minutes from Mexico!
Virgo Ascendants, cannot, for their love of life hide their facial expressions. It’s kind of funny if you ask me because you can see them try not to judge but it’s there. But hey, we can also feel the tension and if you don’t speak up on what you’re critiquing, then there’s no problem💜. They’re often considered knowledgeable due to Sagittarius in the fourth house. They most likely traveled between two places, or they were born in a place that is not their hometown/culture.
Capricorn ascendants are so so so fun to be around. Just look past their RBF and get to know them. They naturally have such a stable outlook on life. When I say they’re fun, they have Aries in the fourth house, so definitely they’re not as composed at home or in their natural habitat compared to in public.
Taurus ascendants are very beautiful and if you pair them with Cancer and Capricorn placements, they can be very hardworking but may vacillate between trying to ground their emotions and letting it free. Having Leo in the fourth house must be interesting because you could have a very prominent role in your family, and one way or another, they took good care of you growing up. (Leo considered being regal, so of course they’re going to have nothing but the best quality stuff. The Venusian energy from the ascendant also emphasizes this).
Virgo suns are so chaotic and in a good way but also a bad way (speaking from experience.) I have known Virgo suns where they feel bad for not being up to par with people's standards or they genuinely don't care what standards are placed upon them. The transition from the former to the latter is beautiful, but it's never in between.
I also noticed that they are more chill than not with a person who is rebellious, surprisingly. If you're talking more about the "control freak " Virgo placements, then look towards the moon, mars, mercury, and ascendant. These placements naturally grasp that structured energy more than the suns.
Taurus suns, are really interesting. The way how their intuition works like magic. Sometimes it just feels like Venus just bestows her beauty, charm,wisdom, and love in a natural manner. Unfortunately, people get caught up in just the charm part without genuinely recognizing you for you and I get it. May you find someone who sees you past Venus's charm.
Capricorn Suns are the masters of patience. If one desires to cultivate patience in their life, it is best to channel Capricorn energy. However, if you have any risky placements such as asteroid Nessus, Deijanira, and Chiron, then I advise to be a little more cautious when it comes down to trying to channel this energy because it will be skewed one way or another.
Taurus Moons are often raised in a stable household. Like materialistically stable. Like their lunar Libra counterparts, they aren't too fond of their more intense emotions, and they will often try to process them via logic. Also like their lunar counterparts, they often separate themselves from their loved ones to process them. Due to Taurus's fixed nature, it may take a couple of times to fully process and release them. (That is fine and take all the time you need, but make sure you're not indulging in these emotions on purpose.)
Capricorn Moons also need to learn patience as well when it comes to your emotions. It may feel confusing due to the restriction and groundedness. But take time out for yourself. I recommend journaling especially if you have a Capricorn Moon in your 3rd house. Saturn is basically holding your hand while sitting next to you rubbing your back saying "It's okay bestie. Take all the time you need." while sitting in a dark room with the moonlight shining through the window.
How is it that Virgo Moons will literally have a mental breakdown, do one load of laundry, and then feel better? Even one small act of service for yourself may genuinely relieve the stress you're experiencing. The moon shows our core emotions and so what better way to express them than to be yourself and show yourself the grace to do so?
Virgo Venus is a very picky placement. They will be so quick to drop you as well. Emotions are kind of tricky when dealing with a native with this placement, at least from my experience. These natives will cringe when emotions are displayed outright and right away. They will genuinely have to be stimulated mentally, right there with those who have their Venus in Gemini. I wish those the best of luck dealing with someone who has these placements. (Watch how they'll still find someone who isn't worth it.)
Capricorn Venus is a very interesting placement to have. This is the "ultimate standards" placement. For example take American model and entrepreneur, Lori Harvey. She makes any potential suitor sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement, so basically keeping it a secret). The best part is that if they violate that agreement, they have to pay her a $1 Million dollar penalty. You can't tell me that's not the ultimate standard right there. (Well, one of them).
Taurus Venuses...I am personally biased as a Scorpio Venus and they are mesmerizing. Their love for nature. Their love for learning about the scenery around them. It's really cool and interesting. They have an endless abyss of information and will happily tell someone what they learned. People don't realize how possessive Taurus Venuses are like their sister sign. Well, actually they do, but they downplay it often. Wait until you experience it. Good heavens.
Capricorn Mercury and their endless skepticism. If you show anything to a Capricorn Mercury, they will want the facts, they will want the evidence. If you can't prove it, then move it. Lol. They are the best when you need a reality check. Being in between two other extremely blunt signs--Sagittarius and Aquarius, they often have an interesting perspective that remains grounded yet very open-minded. They can definitely help guide others or teach others really well because of their natural out-of-the-box process. This is an underrated placement and not given enough credit. However, do be weary of an angry Capricorn Mercury because they're blunt. Not nice.
Taurus Mercury and zoning out haha. But seriously every single time before they say something, they will take a pause. Now, a friend of mine has learned how to master the "talking pause." He notes how this makes others feel uncomfortable because of the silence in between (and he is not wrong). This placement has that naturally. You can see how they're literally processing everything around them. Cue the Netflix buffering symbol on the top of their heads. But the intelligence that this placement has is astounding. The way they hold so much information makes me question the capacity of the human brain. Slow and steady wins the race." is the epitome of this placement because as much as people complain about how slow they are, they still end up on top because they're more thorough than most people when pursuing an endeavor.
Virgo Mercury is also interesting. People don't consider this to be a blunt placement, but if aspected by Saturn or Pluto, or even Mars, then you will be surprised at how far they go with their words.(speaking from experience once again. I am an 8th House Virgo Mercury in sidereal astrology.) This placement is so organized but not at the same time. They can still keep track of what one is telling them, but they may also be in lalaland too. Can easily pick up on other people and read them, if they needed to. One thing about Virgos is that when they are aware that their mental energy is drained, even if they do have to continue to do stuff using more mental energy, they can set it to the side or say "f it. I'll come back to it later." I don't think anyone would want to waste the last bit of mental energy trying to read someone if they aren't of any benefit to the native. This mercury placement, due to its mutability, has the uncanny ability to multi-task extremely well. It may be easy to do this compared to others because like Libra, Virgo knows how to see the different perspectives and incorporate that.
When it comes to Virgo Mars, being organized isn't necessarily the way to describe us. I want to bring to light the reality of having this placement because of how idolized this placement is. I would like to mention to the public that stereotypes should not be encouraged in regard to astrology. This, dare I say can have a weird effect on the people who have the placement, by conditioning them to think they're supposed to be some super organized clean freak. That isn't the case for most of us. Personally, I see that the phrase, "your room reflects your mental health" fits those with this placement. Coming from a Virgo Mars myself, we're not all organized, but we're organized *enough* to know where our necessities are and can surprisingly keep good track of our personal inventory.
Taurus Mars and just like Taurus Mercury, are sloowwww. This isn't a bad thing either. This placement screams "stop and smell the roses every once in a while." The way how these people have such a strong inner self like no other, really makes them like a rock still standing even when a tsunami came. (Figuratively speaking). I think people like to hate how sensual this placement is because they most likely are often disconnected from their own sensuality. A Taurus Mars has no choice but to connect with their sensuality in order to do whatever they need to do in their life. It's how they connect with the world.
Capricorn Mars is an amazing placement. I have to pay respects to people who have this placement because people with this placement have probably gone through some really gut-wrenching moments in life. You still passed it and stood against the test of time. These people are role models to those who are nervous to step into their leadership skills and also become a voice for them. These people, off this placement alone, have been granted immense power. How are they able to face EVERY adversity they live through AND you see them happy and wealthy and content in life later on? The Universe got these people on a priority list.
