virgo and pisces both have this yearning for perfection, in different ways. virgo seeks perfection because only through perfection are they able to release the criticism. even though arriving to the perfection often comes with a lot of self-criticism. but it isn't until a virgo is completely satisfied and feel as if something is "perfect" that it becomes easier to be less critical. with pisces it takes on a different tone. pisces wear rose-colored glasses as their way of achieving perfection. they paint everything in the illusion they wish something would be versus how it really is. so their way of achieving perfection is through creating this world in which everything is how they want, even if it's an illusion.
~ The Virgo-Pisces axis is one of the astrological karmic poles. Virgo is the harvest and Pisces is the cyclic finale, so it makes for a duty-bound, hard, and solitary life for these signs in comparison to others. This is the axis of responsible service to the physical and spiritual realms, sickness and recovery in order to provide the remedy, healing crafts, and healing arts. For the individuals who undertake the inner work produce something great to offer, while the pressure and temptation for escapism pulls others completely under
hello~ what do you think about sun virgo and moon pisces. I have a crush on someone with these placements and im curious lol
ooof that’s cute!! 💞💞💞 Good luck with your crush! ;; 💞 I hope they bring u lots of joy!! 💞💞
[Below Cut: Virgo Sun - Pisces Moon] 🐟
Surprisingly stubborn about their own ways skdfnksnf I know it’s weird, but if you tell them to change something about themselves they find it incredibly hard to make the change/shift and will feel Bad like they’re failing/slower than others
This is usually like, they hear a good approachable advice and they’re like ‘yeah!!! i can do that it will help me!!!’ and then they feel like the first Mistake they make they’re back to Suffering and Drowning themselves again
There’s something so refreshingly pure and innocent about them though, like they seem like genuinely good people who just– do their best and is approachable to people
There’s a sincerity to them in how they approach others, and how others give them back. Their interactions with people are usually demonstrative and pure. I can’t stop saying pure enough because that’s what it feels like, it feels ‘clear’ like a bubble floating up from a bubble bath. It’s not in a ‘shining light’ way or any kind of abrasive way– it’s just the internal seems to reflect the external. There’s a delicate quality to them somehow, like they can gently persuade others but they also don’t intrude themselves/put themselves in the spot light much
They’re rather— kept to themselves, like they may not exude or throw their wants here and there, but they holds a lot of internal control (that’s good for them cause its free flowing and not like– stagnant like earth signs) They have a lot of inner clarity, yet at the same time they often think/work focused on demonstrating the solution.
Like, imagine a person who can see the conflict/problem arises. There’s a Problem that they can see in the future and they’re at the starting line. They pre-plan their solution, and then they just– do it, embody the solution because they think they will face the problem in the future.
Do you see what I mean?? Like the problem can be non-existent or just what they see/hasn’t experienced themselves (seen happen to other people/think will happen– predictive). They’re like ‘oh take note of that’ and adapt/swiftly incorporate the resolution into their overall approach/demonstration to things (when I say demonstration it’s like, how they are externally. Their manifestation. The way they carry themselves, their principality, the way they treat others and how they are.)
It’s far thinking, but there’s also a problem with assuming things. If you always have the solution to a problem, you wouldn’t truly know/understand what the experience entails. The Actual Experience itself – and thus lack that true empathy they’re going for y know? It restricts them a bit and they don’t realize it.
There’s such a thing as being too cautious, but the thing is they might not even realize consciously that it becomes a problem.
I think part of that is just how— hmm they have strong principles. They aren’t overt about it, but they are firm in their belief and understanding of the world.
Often they’re accepting and KNOW there’s unjustice/evil out there, that’s why they’re driven to be so gentle and firm in their principle. Their survival instinct is like ‘ok I’ve faced/suffered from this challenge, I have to hold onto the purity of principle’ (cause Virgo y know)– thus, they use it to move forward
It’s pretty nice?? But at the same time it’s like– they’re mutable/mutable so pls don’t expect them to be like a Taurus/Cancer to you (consumingly nurturing when they open up to you, dedicated and Would Die For You sometimes)
Mutable/Mutable has their individuality, like they’ll be their own person and may need their space. Too clingy/attachment to them is like— mmm maybe not
Not that they don’t appreciate touches or comfort but like— maybe don’t push/become over-bearing to them. Because they may need time away from others to truly feel like they’re themselves too.
For the Virgo/Pisces themselves– you might find yourself being passive when compared to others around you. Often comparing to people would be a ‘bad’ thing right? But maybe learn from that, that you might want to take a few gambles in life (even if it seems daunting/makes no sense). Sometimes jumping off a cliff feels like a totally Stupid Idea. But see where you stop. You already see it as a Stupid Idea and thus you don’t do it, why do others do it then? Where is the need coming from?
If only you’d take the experience yourself, you’d know. Somethings can’t be explained by just the resolution to things, it’s in the experience themselves. Trust.
That’s it!! 💕 hope you like it!! 💕💕 good luck with them!! 💕💕
Overlords vs Overminds - the Virgo-Pisces axis in the Childhood’s End
***SPOILER ALERT***
As I was getting to the finish of Arthur C. Clarke’s book, I begin to see some resemblence of the two paths a species’ evolution can take and of the axis above mentioned. As for the Overlords, it meant a highly developed technology and astonishing intellect, but, for, for example, mankind, altough unable to reach this level of intellectual clarity, torn from the stars forever, they could transcend to another mental dimension. They were all united on a very sensitive, telephatic channel, remaining in a numb trance, yet being able to move the Moon and connect with the Overmind. This reminds me of the Pisces Mercury’s difficulty of expression - it processes thoughts in another way than usual thinking goes. Fine details like these transcendent children had a way with animals while growing apart from them as their potential progressed, to the point where they destroyed even the grass around them, only accepting the waters on Earth; and the Overlords’ meticulously serving whatever they were bound to also add to the picture. Both Virgo and Pisces are selfless, buth the Earth sign won’t pass the line of giving their self up. Like the Overlords, the Mercury-ruled Virgo serves, perfects, and develops in a down-to-earth way (however ironic it sounds in this context). The 6th house rules over pets, while the 12th is of the cattle and large, wild animals (Jan was hiding in a whale!). Pisces is traditionally associated with the ocean, and the dissosiacion of the self; the 12th house serves the community, works behind the scenes (opposing to, for example the Overlords, whose ships were many things, but unnoticable), but moves worlds.
Being an offly individualistic and alienated person the idea made me cringe, and I personally feel more in tune with the Overlords end, nevertheless, the novel is fascinating, well-written, and clever. If you already read it, I’d be happy to hear your opinion. :)
Virgo deals with purification of the ego and of the personal motives behind overt behavior, and Pisces is related to the purification of the emotions and mental images that have accumulated over the centuries.
Stephen Arroyo, Astrology, Karma, and Transformation, page 14
. . . . no one can fly unless the fairy dust has been
sprinkled on him.
The Fish were born under a double feminine influence - the feminine Sun Sign
of Pisces, ruled by the also feminine planet, Neptune. The Virgins were likewise
born under a double feminine influence (but with a slight difference, as we shall
see) for Virgo is also a feminine Sun Sign, whose true ruler is the equally feminine (and powerful) planet, Vulcan - not yet discovered, but soon to be (see
Virgo-Virgo chapter). Meanwhile, Virgo is foster-guided by Mercury, a masculine
planet. Right away, you can see that the Virgins are one up on the Fish, in the sense of active or positive (i.e.: masculine) initiation. Not that Pisceans think they're missing anything, however. All Fish consider active initiation an energy-depleting and tiresome thing at best, and they'd just as soon not be burdened
with the astrological necessity to "actively initiate" anything in particular. So they're quite content to leave Mercury's masculine vibes to Virgo.
Still, the Pisceans must keep in mind that Virgos can call on both the masculine
(Mercury) or feminine (Vulcan) weapons, at will - so they can be tricky (Admittedly, Pisceans can be more than a little tricky themselves, considering
the evasive and elusive influence of Neptune.) The reason I referred to "weapons" is because the Fish and the Virgin represent the 7-7 Sun Sign Pattern of opposition. It's not so much that Pisces and Virgo are at war with one another, but that each of them possesses certain qualities the other (if only on a subconscious level) lacks, envies and would like to acquire.
To begin with, Virgos possess the talent of mental card indexing. They can
sort out, efficiently file and quickly locate, when necessary, detailed data on all
manner of people, situations, worries, problems and frustrations. Everything is
kept neatly recorded. Virgo checkbooks are nearly always properly balanced
(allowing for the exceptions that prove the rule, such as those Virgins who have
Pisces Moon Signs or Ascendents). Virgo payments of bills are usually made
when due, they arrive at work on time, or a few minutes early, obtain the proper
number of hours of sleep per night (when they aren't constipated or have insomnia from fretting), write their courteous bread-and-butter letters promptly, keep their clothing and personal possessions in a more or less systematic order - and make sure their cars, their teeth and so on are checked regularly for any possible deficiency. They can spot ring-around-the-collar a block away, and they tend to carefully measure both the bleach and the detergent in the washing machine, therefore avoid using too much or too little. They seldom get parking or speeding tickets - and never spend excessive amounts of energy in counter-productive activities such as daydreaming, wool gathering, relaxing and taking it easy. (Neither are they famous for spending excessive amounts of money.)
The typical Piscean is the veritable opposite of all the foregoing. As far as
precise order is concerned, most Piscean personal belongings resemble a Picasso abstract. As for the neatness of their dwellings, whether they live in one room, an apartment, a house or a mansion, the residence of your typical Fish is about as neat as a Salvador Dali canvas - utter chaos. A lovely, charming and rainbow- streaked mess of total confusion. But only in relation to tidiness. Beyond that, there's always a contradictory, yet unmistakable feeling of peace and quiet which is hypnotically inviting, in the very midst of Piscean disorder. Now and then, of course, you'll run across a Neptune person like a male bachelor Fish I know in Colorado, whose house is always ready for the photographers from Better Homes and Gardens to pop in the door unannounced - but he has several planets in Virgo, and a Virgo Ascendent. Never mind Piscean Dick Johnson, he's one of those rare exceptions; astrology still claims that most Pisces homes are like a tangle of colored ribbons - a crazy crochet of warmth, coziness, tea and sympathy, and casual disorder, not carefully dusted in each and every nook and cranny. Who cares about a few specks of dust in nooks and crannies? (The Fish have lots of odd sized secrets tucked away in their nooks and crannies, and may not want them disturbed by Virgo's feather duster.)
Actually, all those Virgo qualities mentioned in the last paragraph are not
habits the Fish would care to acquire - consciously. Deep down inside, however, they're aware they could benefit by a little less daydreaming and relaxation, a little less procrastination, a little more mental tidiness and emotional neatness - whether involving their cars, their teeth, their checkbooks or whathave-you. They just don't like to admit it. Nevertheless, they do sense it, which is why the Fish are fascinated by Virgo. That is, they're fascinated by the opposite sex of their opposite Sun Sign of Virgo, but they may feel a little nervous around Virgins of the same sex, who seem to project an unspoken challenge of competition with Pisces. There's nothing in this world that makes a Pisces man or woman more fidgety and uncomfortable than to feel that he (or she) is expected, in some manner, to compete with someone. That's an activity they happen to feel is "counter-productive," as well as time and energy wasting - competing. Because they were both born under Mutable Signs, Virgo and Pisces often surprise each other by managing to communicate very well together, even when they are competing, despite the vast differences in their polarized personalities. Also, they're both somewhat reticent and reserved with strangers.
It wouldn't be fair (what is Libra doing in here? Maybe to help us make
peace between the Fish and the Virgin?). As I was saying, it wouldn't be fair
(Libra nods, with a beaming smile of approval) to fail to point out that the Fish
also possess qualities the Virgins would benefit by imitating - and it's a safe
bet that Virgo, unlike Pisces, is aware of this on a conscious level. Virgo minds
are so acute and alert, there's almost nothing left down below in the subconscious. They drag all their thoughts and feelings up from the basement, so to speak, and check them over periodically, to make sure there's nothing being overlooked, neglected or mislaid. So the Virgins are usually painfully conscious, not only of a vague envy they feel around Pisces, but also what causes it. It's the Neptune talent for daydreaming and wishing, then making those dreams and wishes happen by some sort of strange Neptunian alchemy - from causing a parking space to magically appear at the mall, to becoming happily mated or winning the Nobel Peace Prize, sometimes the Pulitzer. Virgo frowns. Well, but how do they do it? Sprinkle faerie dust on themselves?
Your guess is right on the button, Virgo - as your estimates frequently are
(which the good Lord knows they should be, the way you analyze and re- analyze all possibilities before you hazard a guess). The Fish cause their dreams
and wishes to manifest into reality by the simple process of continually affirming
their faith in the essential goodness of the "all" (the mass, collective subconscious) and in the eternal wisdom of uncomplaining patience. (Virgos are not slouches in the area of patience patterns either, but one wouldn't call it "uncomplaining" patience.) I hate to tell you this, Virgo, but they do it by not fussing and worrying their dreams and wishes into fading away into the shadows of futility. As a matter of fact, these Neptune traits just happen to be the chief ingredients of faerie dust.
Virgo is admiring and interested, but still puzzled. Where may one buy a
tad or so of this faerie dust, and is it frightfully expensive? You just goofed it.
Sorry. I know how you hate to goof. But you did. First off, one is either born
with a supply of faerie dust, or one is not. If you are (as Pisces is) you're fortunate - but then it can be unfortunate too, because in possessing an invisible supply of faerie dust, one sends out a certain color in one's aura that's easily detected by the baddies and nasty little entities in the astral, and which invites them to plague you with trillions of all sorts of problems to test your worth. They also keep trying to steal your faerie dust from you. It's the ancient metaphysical law of Light attracting darkness, you see. Second off, if you weren't born with it, obviously you'll have to manage to somehow acquire a dram or so of it, at least for emergencies - and the surest way to insure that you won't find any to obtain, is to ask the price and worry about the expense. As soon as you start that picky-picky money mantra, the stuff disappears, faerie dust being very contrary (almost as much so as faeries themselves, who can be simply unbelievably contrary when they're in a mood for mischief). The best way to obtain faerie dust is through a close association with a Pisces friend, business associate, relative, lover or mate.
Now, I must be honest and perfectly factual (or Virgo would never forgive
me) by confessing that, although the Fish are amply supplied with magical faerie dust, and although they do usually refuse to allow their dreams and wishes to "fade into the shadows of futility," they are at the same time occasionally guilty of submitting to nameless apprehensions, fears and timidity. Don't blame me for confusing you, Virgo. Pisces is a Sun Sign of duality, you know. Oh, one of those? Yes. One of those. Pisces is represented by two Fish, not one - and worse yet, the symbolic Fish are swimming in different directions. It's not at all easy to be pulled in different directions simultaneously. It would drive you, as a Virgin, absolutely crackers to be tugged in two directions at once. You wouldn't know which route to analyze first. So you really should give all the Fish you know your sympathy. Goodness knows they're always passing out sympathy to everyone else in such a constant flow, they can certainly use some themselves, to pick up their own spirits now and then. In short, and I hope Virgo forgives our slang, duality can be a drag.
Take, for example, the Piscean sensitivity. The Fish are startlingly perceptive
and precognitive. They can read your mind and your heart before you say a
single word. Whether you're a friend or a stranger. They pick up your vibes and
soak up the emotional joys and sorrows, elations and depressions of everyone
within a few feet of them. Taken in one direction, that's a blessing. It makes
the Fish compassionate, wise, understanding and psychic. Taken in a different
direction, it can be a curse. The ability to be sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others, whether in the same room or at a distance, brings with it a constant danger, for a sound astrological reason. The gift of being "sensitive" or
psychic, is never present (including all Sun Sign people who have sensitive planetary configurations in their birth charts) without being accompanied by the
twin trait of a vivid imagination - and the potential of exceptional creativity.
Even though the latter isn't encouraged in childhood, therefore later grows dormant, it is infallibly latent in the Piscean personality (or in the personality of
any sensitive person of whatever Sun Sign). And so the sensitive Fish must always be on guard against allowing the strong imaginations and creative talents they all possess to some degree (whether they're aware of possessing them or not) to distort the "images" they are constantly receiving from others, to cloud their impressions with possibly misleading negative tones and shades. Imagination, like fire, is a "good servant, but a bad master."
There's little chance of Virgo permitting such distortion. Therefore, the
Virgins can be very helpful to Pisces, and the opportunity to be helpful is enticing to Virgos, being as it is, their main mission on Earth. They can courteously and gently point out to the Piscean where a certain image, impression or idea may not be quite as negative as the Fish first thought, assisting the Neptune ruled to bring out all the bright colors of their ideas, after retouching the negative with reality (a reality that's nearly always more hopeful than might appear on the surface). By so doing, the most marvelous thing occurs to Virgos! They come away from a comforting, solacing couch session with a Fish (who needs comfort at times desperately, the same kind Pisces so freely and humbly gives to others) feeling rather happy and cheerful and good inside. Then suddenly, in the middle of the night, Virgo notices that his (or her) hands seem gritty. In fact, the Virgin's whole body, from head to toe, feels . . . well, not quite squeakyclean and shiny. How could that be, when the nightly shower was taken before climbing in bed? So Virgo hastens into the bathroom to wash his (or her) hands, and lo and behold! A miracle has occurred. The Virgin's hands are covered with a glittery, sparkling, fine substance, like little starflakes. Faerie dust. It rubbed off from the Fish. And it didn't cost a penny. Now Virgo can become a touch magical too, like Pisces - and won't it be grand fun? All because of giving to a sad and lonely Fish just a bit of the same kind of compassion and genuinely interested "listening" the Fish gives so generously to others, and needs so very much himself (or herself). That's how you obtain faerie dust. They don't sell it in stores.
Now that Virgo has his (or her) tad of the mysterious Neptune elixir, it
must be remembered what will inevitably happen next. Just as with Pisces, the
Virgo aura will instantly be streaked with that strange color which signals to the
imps of the astral that here is one who hides a secret stash of faerie dust - and
before long, Virgo will face the Piscean kind of testing, becoming, like the Fish,
entangled in the skeins of all the various heartaches, intrigues and complex
problems of friends, loved ones, neighbors and strangers. Glorious! Pisces
could give Virgo no gift more welcome than this. Just imagine. A hundred new
worries to analyze and solve efficiently, as only a Virgin can. You see? Virgo
has already delightedly danced over to the desk, and is promptly, as usual, writing a bread-and-butter thank you note to Pisces.
Dear Fish. . . . . thank you so much for the enchanting
F.D. Are you sure I don't owe you something for it? You
really musn't give everything away, as you do. It's generous
and sweet of you, but remember that "a penny saved is a
penny earned." At any rate, I just had to express how
grateful I am for all the new problems you've allowed me to
share with you and your friends. No one has given me such
a marvelous gift since the Christmas I was three years old,
and Santa left a huge Tinker Toy set under the tree! It
took positively months to figure out exactly where all the
pieces fit together. That was the happiest time of my
whole life, until now. I do hope you're feeling better since
our little talk. I'll drop by in a few days, to see if there's
anything you need, any way I might be of further help.
Thank you again.
Very truly yours
The Virgin
P.S. I just realized how exciting it was, back then, when I
believed in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, druids,
leprechauns, elves and wishing stars. You've made
me remember my old dreams, even made me realize
they might actually be worth something, even after all
these years. Maybe I'll clean them up a bit. They
must have accumulated a dreadful amount of dust all
this time in the basement. I hope none of them are
broken. Of course, I suppose I could glue them
carefully. Do you suppose anyone will notice? I must
close now, because it's nearly two and one half
minutes till midnight, and I set the alarm for five
a.m. since I have to be at work by eight in the
morning. Do you know what I might do?
I just might take the day off tomorrow, relax and dig
into some books I've been wanting to read. My God.
That F.D. is powerful. Really quite intoxicating. It's
probably healthy too. I'll bet it even aids regularity,
and may eliminate my nervous indigestion. You
simply must let me pay you something for it, or at
least allow me to make a contribution to your favorite
charity. I'd feel terribly guilty about accepting it
otherwise."
