Venus Into Virgo Will Be Your Everything
Right. Venus is now in Virgo and as you know from Virgoans Of Fashion this could get a tad obsessive.
But in a (sort of) good way.
To Do Before Oct 29:
* Screech through your undies drawer ruthlessly discarding all items with unpleasant texture, threadbare crotches, off-white or greige tones and loose elastic. It does not matter if you are thus left knickerless. That, to a real Virgo, is preferable than something inappropriate.
* If jeans create any semblance of muffin top, either go juice diet mental till the effect is diminished or accept that your jeans actually look like shit and go up a size.
* T-shirts to be assessed precisely the same way as undies & bras.
* Devise a new “uniform” for yourself. There is no excuse to not have a wardrobe policy. Even if you are a slacker, you will arrange proper slacker-ware so that you always have a go-to sarong or clean pair of trackpants.
* Mend everything that demands it or condemn yourself to insomniac hell more or less every night of October.
* Brutally assess certain items of clothing in terms of their suitability for your age/lifestage and/or figure type. You may wish to donate some things to a deserving charity.
* Schedule in wax/mani/pedi or d.i.y. dates with yourself for the next several decades. Because it would be a Venus in Virgo nightmare to be unable to wear the appropriate outfit due to a failure of scheduling.
* Ensure clothes/grooming etc are unfussy and neurotic – all neurosis is to be kept internal and not at all signaled by your clothes.
Actually, i am not joking. This IS Venus in Virgo and watch how your inner observational powers get more honed and snarky as you strut down the street eyeing off the populace in ‘what-not-to-wear’ mode.
THOUGHTS?
Well, that’s my own personal Transit of Venus beginning then. My sun is 1deg Virgo so yeah… This ought to be an interesting remainder of the week!
Oooooooh I am so very much so feeling this one right now…
Now off to go echo a wee ritual of sorts I performed during the actual Transit of Venus earlier in the year..
OMG and I thought I was just trying to distract myself from disappointing news by being … well … all of the above, and KNOWING it wasn’t a Virgo moon (to which I always react that way!).
Taking that as validation to indulge those hyper impulses, in that case.
Thanks, Mystic!!
Awesome list, says my Virgo Moon
I already tossed some ol’ underwear, now I have a good reason to not do “oh but it’s really still quite wearable, despite…”. Hah.
Been going through my wardrobe on an off, quite a lot of stuff went to the local charity already.
Only thing I scheduled so far is an acupuncuture session for next week. Very curious.
i’ve actually been tinking about doing a proper closet cleanup. this may be the time.
Done with shopping – a handbag big enough to carry books and fresh coffee. This Gem is happy. Next week I will see what I can create with my uniform- jeans, blue tshirt on long sleeve white shirt and clogs
Definitely been thinking of a wardrobe overhaul. This is the time to do it!
Am in major tossing mode – highly unusual for me but feeling the strong inclination to be ruthless.Having a wonderful time !!!
This, this, this! Two months of ennui had me wanting to get rid of everything. Then life went upside down and now I’m considering getting little neon stickers to put on the items that I am most definitely getting rid of and what I would like to keep, and what is making me feel anxious about parting with but probably should be rehomed. You have to rehome to sentimental stuff. /comes from the hoarder bloodline
Can totally relate to the rehousing bit ! Sometimes it’s the only way to unload stuff you don’t really need.Good luck !! Am currently reading a book from one of MM’s reading lists “Clear your clutter with Feng Shui” author Karen Kingston . Can highly recommend
I just love how you visualize your title Mystic ^^
Venus in Virgo..ka-chiing
Vogue!
Venus in Virgo could be a Saint of Superficiality or a tough fashion police.
The opposite of Venus in Pisces, she’s all about abstract love and outlook indifference, quite possibly a mess but true artist
That’s fantastic, you’re clearly a Maniac Mystic.
I will read and re-read.
When oh when will hipsters go out of style? I haven’t been able to wear hipsters comfortably-lookin’-good since i was about 12. As my friend Ms Pants would say “what is wrong with everybody!” Can they not see that muffin top is ughlee.
low cut hip hugging jeans went out of style in my area about 2 yrs ago…theres still some around but its all about med and high rise painted on tight jeans now. so at least theres no muffin top to worry about unless you are pairing them with a crop top.
Mid to high rise may equal camel toe errrrr…. I’m with hipsters all the way
Already done! My wardrobe was the first thing I tackled when I began my huge declutter a couple of months back. Once I’ve got the bod in shape I will be shopping for new stuff.
Odd tho’, that the last couple of days I’ve been thinking rather obsessively about getting a manicure. (Yes it’s all the big issues here at chez Chrysalis). I never get them, I’ve always banged on about being proud of my working woman’s hands, blah blah. But I’ve caught myself looking disdainfully at my cuticles and pondering the relative merits of DIY with orange sticks /olive oil v finding some fab uber haute ritual nail spa.
I cleaned out 7 boxes from my storage under the house + old clothes! It’s like I’ve been doing a HUGE spring clean of everything! I hope Venus into Virgo is good!!!!
Explains why I’ve HAD to update my glasses, wardrobe and accessories of late. Not sure if I’m ready to embracing the whole fuqin Mummsie age appropriate thing tho. I seem to have developed an obsession with skulls, all-be-it rather tasteful skulls (?) – MQueen-ie proper noice gear, but still…
Seems my long forgotten/suppressed inner Goth Scorpy-ness is reborn, and must be appeased.
This is meant to be a transit? Because it’s pretty much the norm for moi. The only reason I skip mani/pedis is to let my nails relax from polish, though I still maintain at home. Otherwise, yes, I have long standing relationships with my “preferred” vendors i.e. tailor, cobbler, lash girl etc etc. However I do not pre-schedule them for eons as I like to have options.
I also scrutinize the neatness of my clothing to be just so.. too neat and it tries too hard, there has to be a balance between being you know, touchable vs antiseptic. Hair coloring? I double check how it’s done to make sure no one taller than me gets a glimpse of gray. They say the devil is in the details but apparently so are the Virgos or in my case, Virgo Risers.
I don’t think of this as obsession or nit picking but more as a public service. Guess that’s what you get with Venus in Leo/Virgo Rising. A bit odd though, the only Virgos I know are so not precious about details – in fact quite the opposite. In fact, one of them wears a grungy bra I can’t help but be secretly irked by each time I spy the grayish white and frayed straps.
Interestingly enough, I see more neatness with the Librans in my life. Hmm.
lol my thoughts exactly. what transit?
my venus is in sagg though in the 6th. I hate camping, salt water hair, the beach in general with sand grains. Give me an iron and colour coded hangers anyday. where is upbeat scorp? she is the queen of coloured hanger codes. She had a whole rainbow once.
my venus in virgo has color coded hangers too!!!
Agreed. These attentions are not a transit but a commitment. Either you care or you don’t. I have to say i’m so bad at ironing though it makes me cry, so i send it out (after last ironing basket had layers going back years and man after man valiantly offered to battle it but ended defeated). I have tried to undo my own organisation by hanger type however as it brings out bad compulsions. I’m “settling” for only 3: wood, metal padded clip, plastic..
virgos are also quite frugal which is why they are apt to keep wearing that fraying bra vs. libra who will spend to get a new one.
Good point Anon. The other interesting bit is that Libra is THE one sign I’ve ever witnessed to consistently go “Eeeeuw” on anything ugly, unbecoming, smelly or aesthetically displeasing. Some real life examples:
*Ratty tennis shoes, yes even they’re reserved for gardening. Lovely Libran sister told me off on this one.
*Arm flab in untoned arms, muffin tops, over-cleavage. (All the Librans I ever knew)
*Bad/cloying perfume (ditto)
*Overdone make up, hair etc.
*Nasty language covering everything from swearing to dirty innuendos (again all of them)
*Amorous advances from inappropriate parties and by inappropriate, I mean you can be hot but if you don’t make the Libran cut it’s a no-go. For ex. Double Libran was spitting in disgust when his Virgo roomie’s booty call decided to make a bee line for him, “like she’d ever have a chance with me”. The girl was hot but you know, slutinsky.
Fascinating how Libran Qi gets disturbed by these things.
The anon above was me. I don’t know why it erased my name when i hit reply. Grrr..
Yes it’s true. We librans hate anything “ugly” or “stinky”. It pains us to look at mismtached decor. @_@ I have a sensitive sniffer. When I was younger, I was one of the people who was tested to whether I could smell-detect early stage lung cancer in a person or not. I can, but not as well as dogs or machines. The Libran sense of smell is scary I tell you!
My Saggo rising and Venus in Virgo lets me a be a little bit dirty. ^_~
Nails me to a T: Libran, Taurus moon, Venus in Virgo. Did all this weeks ago and feeling so chuffed!
Tho’ with Sagg rising – I do love military style Glamping!!
i love camping but i need…require freq. shower or bath.
Haha.. how Venusian can you get EEL? Fabulous to have a super-powered sense of smell, no? I had to laugh when you said not as well as dogs and machines, hmm are you able to smell drugs, money, qi vamps??
Actually now that I think about it, the Double Libran is employed by Nike as a Merchandising Specialist i.e. he sets up store fronts, lay outs, displays so everything is lined up and perfect.
Apparently doing so well at it, he’s been flying all over the country. Talk about the Scales at work. He has Venus Virge too so yes, definitely brings the dirt there.
yes to money and drugs. no qi vamps come in all smell combos sadly.
sometimes it sucks being stuck in an elevator with someone wearing too much fragrance.
oh goodness..2x libra is almost too much.
Yes, ’tis true. A commitment! Goodness, I laughed at you admitting how you loathe camping Ms., I do too. And if I were ever to be found with “beach hair” trust me, I have pre-approved that look for adjustments before going live on the beach.
Funny about the hangers, mine are selected by garment, ones for coats, pants, padded for delicate fabrics, etc etc. and yes, my closet is arranged by color wheel. It’s just easier
sounds divine. I live in a shoe(box) but it’s a wee order out of chaos thing. I am TOTALLY getting off on architects dealing with space atm. I get little gasms of joy.
Lash girl?!
*sniggers*
Kinky…well, we were talking about Virgo after all.
haha… you like?
I am working to classical music right now and this list of yours is like a symphony. I live like this every day.
love the models hair
am packing boxes before a move interstate next week. the last few weeks has been non stop appraising clothing and goods and packing them, selling them on internet & local sites or donating bags of things to charity. Great to get down to a workable wardrobe and relevant belongings. Purchasing a few select, but good quality items to replace/update old belongings. this is a great process of change by virtue of re-definition of the self (through belongings).
Yes, you’ve nailed it!
Change by virtue of re-definition of the self.
Love it,
Thank you Z!
Even Karl is not immune to the winds of change…

Venus in Virgo is waaay too critical for this Aqua but hey, yes I’ve been observing fashions in the outback streets the last 24 hours & thinking nup…..wrong!! I never really notice because I think the quirkiness makes life interesting and where people are at. Years of association with stong libra/leo/Virgo ex has left it’s scars lol. That said, I’ve been packing to go away….ruthlessly piffing aside crap items. Naff all to take. Can I just say modern day cheap fabrics are shit? Get a good brand, that works for me Dream Diva works well, mostly.
Not an Aqua, but I do have my sun conjunct uranus and consider myself rather uranian, and I totally agree about it being too critical.
…That being said, I have caught myself lately being a wee bit critical of others’ fashion choices. Though it’s usually just stuff like, “Oh, honey, why are you wearing those cheap leggings as pants? That visible-panty-line is doing you no favours, I can practically tell what colour your undies are.. try black skinny jeans instead. Seriously.”
Either that, or feeling kind of bad for people who look like they’re too scared to try wearing anything not pictured in a fashion mag. Who cares? As you said- quirkiness makes life more interesting!
Perfect.. have been wanting to shop and did so a little last w/e. I am in a new state and fashion is SO different than what I am use to but I LOVE it.. so I need to shop. I also have been going through my drawers. Went to Good Will last w/e and will be doing more. The undies have been ignored but will clearing out. LOL!! I can’t wait.
Started working out and I will be determined to stay on track for at least month. I need a new bathing suit! LOL!!
Hair is next…
Hah ! I am RIGHT on the money. Just forked out a small fortune for a new summer wardrobe, completely in complementary colours, all in pure linen, and four new bras + another pair of Huraches (also in complementary colours).
I also have nailpolish to match
Now I am ready to chuck -a-rama all my non-nouveau moi clothes
LOL!! Don’t you love it when you are in sync!! Have fun!
No wonder I have the urge to do a rip roaring toss through the lingerie draw.
Me too Sister… Can’t wait. I get frustrated opening that drawer.. BAD Feng Shui!
Trackpants are my new everything! Just commented to a friend last week that i need 5 more pairs. Finding yellow with black stripes a la Bruce Lee or The Bride? Priceless.
oohhhhhhhhhh… so *that’s* why! lol i’ve been spreadsheeting a new wardrobe for the past 3 days, with Color Me Beautiful in one hand and Trinny & Susannahs various books of rules in the other.
Am keeping a suit and matching shift dress, 2 DVF wrap dresses, and a pair of yoga pants. And the one bra that really fits. Everything else has been shipped out to op shops, other than a few things to keep me going til I can buy again. New haircut last week, picking up 2 new pairs of glasses tomorrow. It’s a pretty strict ‘take no prisoners’ policy with clothes now – no passengers. Everything has to earn its place, and earn my $$. I’m starting with one outfit and only adding stuff that really works. Easy when you work from home.
This explains tonight’s deep dive through my overflow beauty products drawer in search for a hydrating hand microexfoliant that I felt compelled to apply literally everywhere.
I am also suddenly really into the idea of buying a classic Burberry trench and other staple-y, grown up pieces (usually not my style).
Sweatshop girls working for 2 cents a day. Not very Virgo fashion to me
support non sweatshop, its a can do. say no to fast fashion
Ooh, SLOW fashion…that conjures up a lovely image.
Models flowing down the catwalk, eating carbs and drinking tea in the glossies, happy seamstresses burning the midnight oil… Is there a slow fashion website that you can provide?
common as. Veronika Maine and Cue are made in Australia. Good quality but a tad expensive..but last a lot longer than your fast fashion.
expensive because you are not paying a child 2 cents and someone is getting a wage. its the reason fast fashion and sweatshops exist, massive issue here in the uk, but that is a reflection of the average wage here. Min wage is 5.50 pounds and hour xx
it just feels right! I do enjoy a good Virgoan vibe now and again. and my house is clean and tidy:)
Have been pondering thoes drawers for a few weeks.. but too zapped to actually take action.. perhaps pre-empting the transit? And in the broader scheme a time for culling but as I have retro pieces dating back 30 years melded with recent pieces it’s not always a simple process. The rock chic in me is still rocking so have to cater for that, the boho Saggi is who I am and the eclectic mood swings of fashion that do not follow trends must still be able to flourish at a whim. Toro rising keeps me a little sane in all that
Age has naught to do with it if you know your style and how to wear something and you’re straight up with yourself about whether it works or not for your age/body type but in saying that there are always things that one has to commit to a former self or admit were mistakes you were glad weren’t photographed lol. Those things I willingly relinquish.
Mars in Virgo Mercury Rising person here. I have Uranus in Libra and I generally am pretty easy going about old clothes, as long as they are clean.
Why is it all the Saggi’s I know have a fetish for old holey clothes?
“it reminds me of the time Ezra came to visit.. Plus it is really soft! I don’t want characterless (read new), stiff (read clean) clothes.”
My 4 year old Sagg Rising son cut tiny holes in his t-shirt the other day. “look, I just like Grandpa now!!” … Who is multiple Sagg of course – but with a thrifty moon in Virgo.
i have sagg rising and yes … we like things “broken in” which is why they get to that state.
hahah yes, multi sagg here, my Leo mum would “disappear” my favourite holey things. That shirt had MAGICAL ENERGIES. A strong hatred for stiff clothes! The fabric has to be one with me lol so it feels like nothing.
LOLOL! The Sagg Ex had one shirt for three months while he was living on an island in Indonesia. He would wear it swimming to ‘clean’ it. He said it was his second skin. Naturally I washed it and he was terribly upset as the fabric wasn’t ‘the same’ after that.
I would love to see a post on you Saggi’s broken in, boho, holey magical clothing!!
I must admit my ex bestie quadruple Sag shrunk my fav hooded cardigan years ago. I still have and wear it, even though it is so tight there are now armpit holes from the effort of getting it over my arms and sitting across my shoulders right.
Wouldn’t dream of being like this with lingerie or shoes or most clothing (esp wrk wear) but i do have some woollen clothing that *sigh* i admit i feel has magical properties. Something about woollen knitwear partic with silk or angora mix. If i threw them without ceremony i might lose my juju.
you can give shrunken woolens a new second life. one that had a high amount of cashmere, i turned into diaper covers for friends with babies. i turn others into felting sculptures.
Diaper covers!!!
I’m Uranus Libra trine Venus Aquarius – that is SO against my womanly gender shaking juju vibe!
The very idea! *shivers*
*draws woollen juju tighter around self*
Well, EEL, now they will NEVER take my wool from me. I will wear it even if it is a seam holding a thread stitched together with holes x
Yes, the baby won’t appreciate your magical shrunken woolens!! Lolol.
Haha… Dromi, I would love to see a post on “Saggi’s broken in, boho, holey magical clothing” too!!!
I only have moon in Saggo (but it’s very strong). I get really upset when my fave t-shirts start looking like they need to be thrown out.
I also really hate having to change into different clothes every day, but I must when I’m working or out n’ about.
I would totally be happy to wear the same thing for a week! but you know.. must keep up appearances (Cap Asc)
Well if your t-shirt has massive holes my impression is – so much the better! Then you can do Goth Cap and wear a nice white top underneath and wear crapulous magical holey top over it. Instant cool. Pair with docs and a huge cable chain necklace.
I love super soft worn in sweaters and tees- and yes they are magical!
woah mm… when you speak like that, how can I not do what you say!!!!
Goodbye undies… jeans…. (though Im going to upcycle and make shit) and I will be desperately organised….
Interesting because last time I had a heavy saturn transit… like saturn return, I got all groomed on myself. I remember breaking down and crying over the fact that I only had dirty socks, no clean ones… MOstly I wouldnt care, i just wouldnt wear socks! but this was during saturn return, i was mental, i was also excercising … a lot… it was aspected pretty heavily to pluto as my saturn is was or something… so anyway I think ive told this story before… but here I go again despite venus in virgo or maybe just as well that venus is in virgo as saturn comes consistently and well noticed into my ascendant, I have already been getting high stress levels regarding the arrangement of clothing, the inpracticality, the lack of finesse or grace of some items, the terrible fit of most others, and I have begun (save for the chocolate binge as we speak) a no carbs thingo to deal with the thingo that hangs over jeans…. well ive been doing it for a while now… some happiness but not a lot…. hence the chocolaTE….
I know Im not writing very well here, and am a bit impetuous with my punctuation, I just have been big time zapped, and am having sentence diarrhoea. I survived all the two weeks leading up to the zap zap with my head down, chanting so help me gods or something like that, to find that I got super zapped after the full moon when mm you suggested it ight be ok… I thought I was being careful, but no, all i had to do was open my mouth, actually im sure I wouldnt have even have had to do that, just my presence and the fact that I was living probably was enough to get zapped… well what a fuckin trip!
Interestingly at the same time some amazing other things were bubbling to the surface and evolving into life form real quick… but have been in collateral damage mode for the last 36 hours…. Nothing like the soak and burning through of a sauna and spa, beautiful friends to hold space and heart for me, and risks that had to be taken… bless ya cotton undies…
All over this vibe like a tramp on chips. Yesterday even.. Also bought the most expensive item of clothing ever, a designer wax jacket. The ventilated zip sleeves won me, perfect for gardening and never seen on the non designer versions
That’s hilarious about your son! My nephew is a Sagg with Uranus on the Ascendant and couldn’t care less what he wears, and yet he has a physical grace where anything he throws on just seems to suit him. I so don’t have this carefreeness when it comes to clothes, and I love that my nephew does.
No new clothes…pluto in capricorn is driving towards venus in capricorn and opposite moon in 10th house…post trine jupiter conjunct ascendant virgo 12th. The currently preferred are now sombre, in black, smoke, slate or very dark aubergine, also in more expensive fibres, some with subtle woven metallic pattern, beading or tone on tone trim or detail…
Months ago by chance I found a designer flea market at a townhall that occurs periodically selling really good vintage labels…more like a boutique clothing exchange. I am loathing too much colour in hectic or clashing patterns…this is especially so since neptune moved away from aquarius. One exception was floorlength cherry red with tiny white polka dots sheer spring 1940′s inspired dress…
I do not believe in support undergarments to wear tight clothes; its unconvincing and no longer appropriate to squeeze what one doesn’t have into nonexistent places…had to dispose of half of the bettina liano jeans post baby…mothers in the parent group look more like executives these days…
Go juice diet mental? I’m going on a mental juice diet. That doesn’t mean I actually have to improve my diet. It just means I believe I’m on a slimming diet. I think today I’m going to wear my Donna Karan couture suit to work. It barely fit me when I was 10 pounds lighter. It will fit, if I just BELIEVE it will fit.
so you’re turning piscean now?
Nope, it didn’t work. I had to wear my cheap suit, the Kenneth Cole one. Damn, I have to lose some weight, so I can fit into my good suits. I have given up on ever again fitting into my Versace skinny jeans.
LOL. I’m all over the place with my eating at the moment – was very clean under the beady eye of my acupuncturist, then spent 5 days in Margaret River living off good red wine and triple cream Brie…..
So mentally, I am living off salmon and asparagus, whilst doing yoga; but I’m *actually* eating cheap sausages in mayo-&-ketchup sauce, in front of the computer
I HAVE to get this under control !! My acupuncturist is going to *look* at me !! (This is the Vulcan, who doesn’t need needles)
PS: Pity about those Versace jeans !
i sped read this on my phone as “going mental on a juice diet”
Have also recently discovered that not many people clean the inside of their shoes after each wear. Mind you i have a Virgo sister and she thinks i have er particularities. She gets a bit highly strung about what she thinks my compulsions are when i’m at her place. I finally told Sag sis that i’m not attending any more op shops with her. If she tries it on again with me i’m going to tell her a ghost story about one. …And those stereotypes of sloppy Pisceans? Shit me.
OOh, can you tell us the ghost story about the op-shop pleeeze?!
me too…story! story!
Barimba sighed with pleasure. The vintage silk blouse matched her new high waisted wide legged denims, complete with sardonic little denim bib, absolutely perfectly. She felt thrifty and amazingly blessed… how had this little number not been snapped up two seasons ago? Silk never dates. But she knew that it was her Jupiter in Leo second house that brought amazing luck with glam fash finds. She kissed her finger and dabbed it onto the blouse, placing the find on a hanger.
But little did Barimba know that the blouse was not what she thought. The dear old thing who seemed oblivious to the amazing treasures she housed was actually a very canny Capricorn Gem Rising, who knew a sucker when she saw one. The thing was synthetic. And had been owned by.. DU NU NU NUUUH…
A Lo Taurus Qi Vamp, Lois! ..who had died horribly when her boyfriend pushed her from a pedestrian overpass screaming, “Whoever you are, whatever your name is, i’m NOT your boyfriend and i’m MARRIED!” Lo Taurus Lois had cursed as the concrete zoomed up to her face: she would NEVER let go the boyfriend nor the new sexy blouse that she knew made him want her so much he was just frightened of the karma.
Poor Barimba. Cancer Rising, she had sensed that the blouse called to her, wanted to go home with her, had her name on it. Bu what she didn’t know was that deep in the seams of the armpits, just enough hormonal reek of Lo Tau Lois remained to provide corporeal form to the calling of the desperate restless spirit. About the armpits an ectoplasmic mist swirled. Soon the mist increased into a dense sweaty fog. The arms of the blouse puffed, fabric stretched against the form of arms. Hands softly reached, felt in the dark of the wardrobe, until they found the door.
The wardrobe door opened slowly. The blouse suspended behind it, glowing in the dimness, hanger poking out like a deformed head. Barimba slept on…but not for long.
Too busy laughing at my own story to sign in.
lol synthetic? hahaha
I’m not sure whether to be scared or thrilled, my natal venus is in virgo on the descendant in the 7th forming a gorgeous little triangle with pisces on the asc and neptune on the MC. (North node also in scorp just for fun)
So i’m feeling so NOW right now its hard to believe the me of a few weeks ago was even the same person… new hair, new bedroom colour scheme, business cards indexed and sticky labels, shoes in clear boxes!
Just don’t ask me to go shopping as thats when Venus in Virgo goes to town with the snarky sefl deprecation…. without my Gem virgo rising bestie i’m in childs pose in the bottom of the change room with a paper bag….. seriously Venus can be a tricky master in Virgo. So far so good but keeping mirrors dimly lit and cuticles well moisturised!
hehehe every time you do an outrageous-virgo-in-action list i find myself thinking – but thats so sensible! spot on again mystic
im so busted. i have natal venus in virgo so yes i do have a go-to “uniform” for each season. its an outfit i can put together in a snap on autopilot.
I love the whole Virgo uniform thing, it’s so true. Even the messy, un-groomed ones I know have their look at they stick to it.
Personally I’m trying to overcome my need for perfection and being physically groomed at ALL times (except at home). It’s actually a bit of a problemo for me so I’m going to have to ignore this blast of Virgo energy by repeating my favourite mantra, written by my favourite Virgo (Rev Leonard Cohen).
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.
Love it…
My undies were all upgraded during Mars in Virgo. Can we talk about he Neptuning? Natal Venus in Virgo square Neptune here. I’m thinking I may need to call in some psychic re-enforcements to get through this transit – it is a transit, yes? Suddenly, sometime around Sunday night-ish, I was thrown full force into the Neptunian swamp. I lay around vibing and ignorning my to-do list. Based on the daily scopes, I’m feel much more Libra-like than Virgo-like this week. My undies and wardrobe are tight. I have a new closet even. But…Neptune seems determined to remove me from this time/space reality.
Is Neptune transiting your Venus or is it the other way round? Because if it’s Venus as the protagonist, then it’s just a dolce far niente vibe that’s too short-lived to do much harm.
If it’s Neptune transiting Venus, then I’d follow MM’s love zombie good hygiene to the letter. A friend and I had this for a year and a half in our progressed composite chart and it did a number on our relationship. We survived it fine, but full LZ tendencies kicked in: playing victim, unclear communication, sacrifice, weird undertones, etc.
I have Sun conjunct Neptune so I’m used to dealing with Neptune, but I wouldn’t wish a Venus-Neptune natal square on my worst enemy.
MM posted a note about Venus opp Neptune transit goon on in the sky now. Hadn’t thought of a natal transit but I guess that’s something to keep an eye out for. I’ve got sun in 12th so i’m used to broth in energy too. Still Lately I’ve been feeling put to sea.
Yes! Venus at 12 degree Virgo here. Sun in Leo. I am itching to get into that closet. I need a new look. Sleek, unfussy, and elegant. Understated flashy. Cannot abide torn or stained clothes so out they go. Ditto everything above for body care. Love a good clean-up.
HA!!!
I live like this most of the time….natal venus in 0*Virgo.
Having my venus return right now.
Feeling disappointed, but hopefully that changes soon.
This post has really made me think about the mental hygiene I practice: I exercise and take good care of my body, but what kind of crap am I feeding my mind on a daily basis? I’m not just talking about the media I consume, but all the micro-messages I tell myself about myself, about others. about how the world works. How many of them are actually true?!
I feel it’s an important part of the Scorping to feed myself healthy messages every day. Not in a frantic, overcompensating way, but as part of a daily routine of taking care of myself.
Yes, for sure gbs…. You’re on it… I’ve recentlystopped watching the news again, I like to stay informed but the news is mostly baloney! So back to choosing info….
I’m moving into my own house for which I’m incredibly grateful and will not have a tv, actually to think of it last time I lived alone was Saturn return, now Saturn on ascendant, I think mind discipline and kindness, cleansing etc is Saturn….
Lots of Virgo in my chart including the Moon – but – Venus 7′ Pisces so I’ll have to remain mindful of sticking to the higher Venusian pathways. 7th cusp at 13′ Virgo – lots of potential for very good results. Thanks for the heads up MM!
My Virgo moon has had me doing this all summer, and even though I have some sentimental t-shirts and other articles of clothing, they are organized literally to the left. On right side of the closet, all of my beautiful uniform pieces (I have notes with this title: New Uniform) are divided up by function and then color.
Walk-in closets should be standard and twice the size of mine, so that I can put in a dresser/vanity and a comfy chair. I also require a window. Making a list of new apartment needs for after my Phoenixing.
Christ, I also became super specific with who I want to attract night now: Liberal Quaker boy with Sun in Libra and Moon in Gemini.
When under serious amounts of stress, make lists until you can’t help but smile at what life would be like once you check off all of those boxes.
Same here… Kind of. Remember, spreadsheets are your friend. No settling!
“… thus left knickerless.” love that phrasing. You are so my kinda writer, MM. Bravo and posies! (phrase lifted from Linda Goodman)
I’m going to start dressing like a grown-up human lady.
and ladies don’t forget to cull the bras that don’t fit (the ones that give you a double boob each side). a lot of lingerie stores now collect pre-loved bras for an org that sends them to countries where women do not have access to such luxuries. there are collection boxes around the place, just ask.
Libra sun, Aries rising, Saggo moon, Venus in Virgo, Jupiter in Gemini + more that is all going OFF right now.
This astro is so intense for me. Venus/Virgo sensibilities are raging. Saggo moon-Aries rising convinced me that Chez Anemone was fundamentally cluttered and unbeautiful. Solution? One way ticket to Copenhagen– NOW! Dreaming of clean streets, immaculate apartments, and Haute Couture of course.
Wow some really good food for thought here, got me pondering more about my Virgo-ness which is actually quite strong. While I am Leo rising, Virgo takes up almost all my 1st house and lots of 2nd, with Uranus/Pluto conj there plus Mars not far away in 2nd.
I am quite Virgoan about laundry. Obsessively categorise everything by specific wash, and it all has to hang together by genre. My dream laundry would be clinically white with expensive pegs all in one colour.. and the greatest organisation/storage system known to mankind, not a bottle or sponge or stray pair of knickers in sight, wall to wall shiny surfaces… *fans self*
Wardrobe-wise I’ve always loved the idea of a ‘uniform’ particularly for summer – having a dozen identical exquisite shift dresses made in different fabrics – only natural of course.
Part of the Mars in Virgo wardrobe declutter involved chucking out non-matching hangers in favour of identical black hangers. I found real joy in that.
Oh my, you’re so right. Found myself appraising two bogans at the traffic lights this morning in identical “pre-slashed” black tights. The one on the right was really rocking the look with her belly-exposing pastel knit (and blingy belly-jewelery) (could have passed for an ironic look at Paris Fashion Week) while her pal failed with a baggy white tee and thongs.
I’m never usually this bad (Virgo sun). Thanks Venus.
What do ya know, I threw out underwear that now sags off my ass. Must be Venus in Virgo
Today was really “off”… like crashing down, really low, from everything from past two weeks, which were really actually a great smooth two weeks, even though the full moon and all that. I felt fine during that time.
Really tearful today, and angry….. started to feel this way after receiving acupuncture today. It was a weird interaction with the practitioner and then they left me too long, sort of forgot about me, I think. I didn’t feel cared about at all..
Transition here with new housemates in my house. I feel uneasy about it, not happy about it so far… so sick of living with other people…
At the same time, I could have benefitted from having a friend tonight, just someone to talk with…. I need some support and feel really alone..
p.s. Virgo energy is always difficult for me, as an Aquarius, but I also have Jupiter at 3 degrees Virgo, so I guess Venus is about to transit there. I would think that would be a nice transit, albeit short…hopefully it will brighten up my days…
Reach out pumpkin…call someone. Anyone who you think will listen. Don’t forget that people don’t mind read, you gotta make ur needs known for anyone to have a chance to respond…
Ahem…clearing throat…MM you forgot to mention that the pedicure must, repeat must, remove heel callouses. I am often appalled at the number of women wearing backless shoes with heels that look like a skin disease. Ugly ugly ugly.
On another note, is the entire French nation Virgo in Venus ? It really does offend them wearing sloppy clothes…but maybe it’s just Paris ?
I was just wondering what to do with those faded blue-with-white-stars shortie-shorts, that I bought when I was 21… now I know.
