Title: Virgo Full Moon
1Virgo Full Moon
2All 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.

14We 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.
15Virgos 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.
16How 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 are effective negotiators.
Virgos react to what they experience by assessing
its practical worth.
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.
17Virgos 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).

19Virgos Constellation
20Virgos 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.
21The Virgo Myth
Virgo
The Great Goddess, the Magna Mater.
22She 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 thus
can give freely because he need not fear losing
himself in another.
23 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. ?
24(No Transcript)
25Virgo 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
26The Goddess as self-contained nurturer of life is
a fitting and noble image for this underplayed
sign.
27Every 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.

Virgo. Remember though we are talking about the
energy of Virgo and there are many types of

38Further 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.
39Those 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.
40The 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)

and humanitarian vision, acting in concert for
the good of mankind as a whole.
