Don’t Be Mean to Yourself During the Double Virgo Sky

Moon in Virgo, Sun in Virgo

A double Virgo sky. Your mind may be nagging you with thoughts that aren’t really that fun.

Clean up your act.

Get your shit together.

You’re lazy.

You’re overweight.

You are a half-ass; you could do so much better.

You suck.

Welcome to the low road of double Virgo. Is this kind of internal dialogue familiar? The voice that secretly robs you of your self esteem, your good feelings about you, as your life feels heavier and even more disorganized. Bye bye, self love.

Let’s flip that over. Truth be told: you are doing just fine as seen through the eyes of your soul. Your soul is aware that this is not an easy thing – this game called life. 

You deserve to just relax and trust you are right where you belong. This is how the soul sees you, without judgment at all! Believe it or not, you are right on schedule. Notice the trees, the rocks, the flowers; they are not living under the stress you impose on yourself.

You are alive and willing to take on this life. You are a student of life, learning the hard way and then aging with some collected wisdom – right? That’s the truth!!

At best, Virgo is that part of all of us who longs for perfection and seeks growth and lessons, but please, not at the expense of one’s own self love. Careful with this influence, it’s a double-edged sword. It cuts to clear up what isn’t needed and to help refine yourself, but those voices can hurt and even destroy your ability to ever feel relaxed and accepted.

I went off to Esalen Institute in August for a workshop with Andrew Holechuk, a teacher on meditation, lucid dreaming, and death. He is a Gemini with a Moon in Virgo, which creates an intense hunger of the mind. That hunger can be a genius or at worst a critic who will not be silenced. Lucky Andrew – he found Buddhism and meditation and worked hard at it! 

The class he was teaching had a great title: How to Prepare to Die (yes, his Saturn is in Scorpio, how appropriate!). His mind was inviting and it was teaching our minds to consider the truth: we are all going to pass/fade from this world, why not think about that? He anchored his wisdom with several practices of meditation and awareness. 

This is one of my favorite topics of all time. Anyone who knows me knows that I have always read endless books on meditation and near-death (hello Raymond Moody and Anita Moorjani, hello The Afterlife of Billy Fingers). Yet Andrew took it all to another level. How can we prepare for death – now?

This is surprisingly a totally Virgo topic. How clean can my life be in order to have a beautiful death? How can I adjust my internal dialogue to soften the inner critic and allow myself to see the right use of this life and how well I’m doing? So I can leave here in peace, better known as: I can live now in peace.

Can you imagine seeing through the eyes of love as you look over at this lifetime? “No,” said every unevolved double Virgo. 

If you could adjust the voice of your ego, you would surely be considering the beauty of what you have been through with kindness, asking how to finish this life with, “Good work, a life well done.” 

So it should be no surprise that during this Virgo season, I will be in Andrew’s online class studying death. But, first things first: you must study YOU first, study your chart in order to enter into the room called self love, which is next door to peacefulness and a readiness to die softly. 

After a lot of study of Astrology, I am at peace with who I am.

This is the first stop on the path toward preparing for your death – choosing life in its full expression WITHOUT the judgments of the low road voice of Virgo. To find self love is where Astrology comes in. You must know the doors are closing soon for our school.

So, during this sky, a double Virgo heaven – you will want to start with facing the negative: I don’t like myself, I am afraid of my death, I am not fulfilling my purpose, I am not even close. If your ego speaks like this and suffers from low self esteem, here is the positive formula to fix it:

Know thyself. Fall in love with who you are – here’s how:

1. Study your chart, the cycles you have passed through with the voice of wisdom nearby.
2. Rewrite the narrative that something is wrong with you, with life, with your ex. Haha!
3. Prepare for your death wisely.

Our Applied Astrology School is in the final enrollment days for the Fall semester – school starts the week of September 9, 2024. If you’re ready to know yourself deeply and unpack your chart, get started with us. The doors are only open twice a year; your next chance to get in will be next year (January 2025). 

Hope to see you in class.
