Virgo Full Moon

Virgo Full Moon

Why are we here?
The time of the full moon is a time of
celebration.
We celebrate the energy of the SUN.
The reason is that when the Moon is full it is
the furthest from the Sun, thus the Suns energy
is the strongest.
Thus we celebrate the energy of the Sun through
meditation and reflection.
3
All is Energy!
For those of you who are not familiar with
esoteric philosophy or do not know it well I
will remind you that all is energy. Thus you
should simply relax and try to feel the energy
rather then concern yourself with understanding
everything.
During the lecture you can ask questions or make
comments. After the meditation you may also ask
questions.

We get Virgo!

• As the sixth sign of the zodiac, Virgo represents
  the sixth stage in the evolution of man and his
  place in the universe.
• The Virgo need is
• to find ways to put mans individual talents to
  the best possible use.
• the need to make things better is satisfied by
  pursuing careers in health-related fields or in
  other areas such as teaching, labor relations,
  environmental protection, social work, or
  religious counseling.

17
Virgos adapt to change.
This trait is a strength because it is a survival
mechanism, and a weakness because it makes them
vulnerable to the demands and influence of other
people.
Instinctively responsive to the needs of others,
they usually adapt to different people and
changing circumstances by finding ways to make
themselves useful.
The Virgin is the astrological symbol of Virgo
and, like the true virgin, most Virgos are shy.
Like a virgin waiting to give herself to the
perfect lover, Virgos are also idealistic.
18
How do the elements react?
If the advantages they find are not necessarily
useful to them, they are willing to give them to
those who can benefit.
They patiently endure endless details and
responsibilities if convinced it accomplishes an
end they think justifies their efforts.
Virgos react to what they experience by assessing
its practical worth.
Virgos are effective negotiators .
Before they take physical action, before they
sort out their emotional involvement, and before
they reason it out intellectually, they must
ascertain what tangible advantages are to be
gained from the experience.
19
Virgos Astrological Symbol

• Virgos symbol is the virgin, and is often
  considered a shy, lady in waiting personality
  that is a little naive. Though Virgos are seldom
  celibate, they often keep their personal identity
  intact throughout their lives. This composure is
  virginal in nature.
• Virgos symbol is sometimes shown as a woman
  carrying a sheaf of wisdom, representing the
  harvesting of wheat at the time of year of the
  Virgo (late summer).

Virgos Astrological Glyph
?

• The glyph for Virgo is thought to depict the
  sexual organs, with a tail that wraps inwards,
  closing itself to the world. This, in contrast to
  the symbol for Scorpio, which is similar, except
  that the tail points outward and upward in an
  arrow.

23
The Virgo Myth
Virgo
The Great Goddess, the Magna Mater.
24
She represents the nurturer and giver of life to
all of life.
She is self-possessed, her own person.
She ruled alone, self-contained, husbandless.
The ultimate goal of this apparently humble sign
is nothing less than the self-possessed psyche.
The person who integrated within himself and can
therefore give freely because he need not fear
losing himself in another.
25
from his own place of completeness,
rather than because his need for finding himself
in another drives him into relationships or
situations which destroy him or rule him.
this seems to be almost a requirement for Virgo
to develop himself or herself.
something in them says that you must learn to
be yourself and love your own company before you
can allow another person to love you.  ?

Virgo in its deepest sense is about the real
synthesis and integration of the individual.
Virgo contains all the stages of individual
development.
Its one of the reasons you find so many Virgos
obsessed with health and diet, and equally many
obsessed with psychology and self-help. 
Its the need to prepare the vessel, to craft it,
shape it, refine it, for some vaguely sensed next
phase
28
The Goddess as self-contained nurturer of life is
a fitting and noble image for this underplayed
sign.
29
Every Virgo, in some way, little or big, is an
alchemist.
Alchemical gold isnt ordinary gold.
Its transmuted substance, inner gold, spiritual
gold, creative gold.
This laborious process of transmutation goes on
throughout Virgos life.
Virgo is attempting the alchemical transformation.
Its life. And life, ultimately, is himself.

The Exoteric Rulerof Virgo is Merury
Mercury in Virgo is analytical power. Reasoning
is channelled into practical avenues, wherein he
learns and then uses that knowledge and the logic
he develops for material advantage.

Further Comments
The goddess of Virtue or of Vice
At first he fares badly
His mishandling of the feminine principle is
ultimately redeemed by his deed of love in saving
Hesione.
41
Those who first put foot on the spiritual path
often consider the body the root of all evil.
But this is not so
for the purpose of human incarnation is to
redeem matter
to raise it into heaven through the birth and
rule of the Christ consciousness.
42
The disciple in Virgo demonstrates an
understanding of the feminine principle of nature
symbolized by Mary, pictured with the moon
under her feet and the one to be known as the
Prince of Peace, in her arms. (See Revelations
121-2)

We can view this as the energy of earth -
cautious, premeditative, conventional and
dependable - (Virgo) on the level of the
personality and water -impressionable and
reflective - (Pisces) on the level of the
emotions looking at the elements. Both are
mutable signs which are concerned with changing
things into something else or moving on to
something else.

Mercury square Mars indicates individuals likely
to allow their ideas and thoughts to race too far
ahead of the logic, facts, and information at
hand. They have active, alert, and intelligent
minds, but may have to develop more careful
attitudes, better organization, or more complete
foundations of evidence and understanding before
they attempt projects. They can be quite accident
prone at certain times.

Saturn opposite Uranus is a generational aspect
that indicates fierce opposition between the old
and the new, the liberal and the conservative
elements of society. Compromise is rarely
possible. When a winner is declared, there is
usually no trace left of the losers or that which
they represented.

Jupiter conjunct Neptune implies a generational
receptiveness to spirituality in the religious
sense, spiritualism in the occult sense. Those
born in this generation reject realism
substituting it with idealism, abstraction, and
impressionism, especially in art and literature.
They may or may not get caught up in their
private lives in this generational flow of
sentiments, but they are bound to have to deal
with it on some level.
53
Why are we here tonight?
The time of the full moon there is a direct
alignment between the energy of the sign the sun
is in and the affairs of the sign the moon is in.
Sun Virgo Nurturing form and consciousness of
the indwelling god
Moon Pisces guarantees eventual messiahship
In our meditation this evening, let us visualize
a common goal for humanity. Groups of men and
women of goodwill bonding together to support
right-human values. Let us use our magical powers
of manifestation, and see this happen. Leaders
and ordinary people alike, afire with goodwill
and humanitarian vision, acting in concert for
the good of mankind as a whole.
