Astrology has always been an interesting topic. Whether you follow it religiously, or read your horoscope for fun, there is a definite entertaining aspect to it. Although, even reading your sign as entertainment, there are some attributes that seem more than coincidental.

The sixth sign is Virgo. It is signified by Virgo the Virgin. It is unclear where the origins of the name come from. Yet, the virgin is in relation to the Virgin Mary. Pure and refined, they share the Virgin Mary’s maternal instinct. Observant, those born under Virgo are at the happiest looking out for people.

Like Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces, Virgo is a Mutable sign. A Mutable sign are seen as double-bodies. This is a result of the signs being in between seasons. In the case of Virgo, it bridges Summer and Autumn in the Northern hemisphere. Flipping between movable and fixed, they also retain an element of nature.

Traditionally, Virgo is ruled by Mercury. Mercury was known as the messenger of the gods to ancient Romans. Astrologically, the planet pertains to the mind, or mentality. Principles such as communication, rationality and reasoning are signified by the planet. Although, contemporary astrologers say Virgo is ruled by Ceres, a dwarf planet just further out than Pluto in the solar system. Its status is unknown in astrology at this time.

In the realm of jobs and careers, Virgo achieves well in any kind of care work. With traits such as the maternal instinct, a la Virgin Mary, along with a dependable nature and practicality. Of a modest nature, Virgo can take good care of others, without wanting to take overt credit.

As with anything else in life, Virgo does have a downside. Their modesty can make others question it as self-doubt. Modesty and shyness makes Virgo mistaken for introverts. Virgos can be too conservative for their own good. Getting tied up with every fine detail, they don’t like the prospect of taking risks.

It is only in Western astrology that star signs are linked to the elements. In the case of Virgo, it is the element of Earth. Stability and grounding, such as with the Earth, also pertain to Virgo. Earth is a very “physical” element. With this, Earth signs, like Virgo, have desire and need for physical security. Earth signs share this desire for security with the Water signs.

Romantic compatibility runs deep throughout the Zodiac and astrology. How one star sign can relate to another is an intriguing area. Seeing that Virgo lends a dependable nature, they look for this in others. They can find this in the other Earth signs, Taurus and Capricorn. The Water signs of Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer work well with Virgo. Earth is seen to “guide” Water to its ultimate goal. In return Water signs mould or release emotions for Earth signs.

Complementary Opposites

If you study any aspect of oriental philosophy or culture you soon come across the terms ‘yin’ and ‘yang’. These terms are used to describe the opposite yet complementary nature of iChi energy which ancient people understood to be present behind the manifestation of anything in nature – the creation of structures, actions, seasons, emotions and movement.

In I Ching Astrology the qualities of yin and yang lie behind the understanding of the cycles of change that we go through. These nine-year cycles are moving from yin to yang; this means from dormancy in winter (yin) through the active rising stage of spring to the consolidation stages of yang. Similarly, the principal numbers also contain yin/yang attributes.

Yang’s nature is seen to emanate from the heavens and descend towards the earth. Conversely, yin’s natural tendency is to rise and return towards the heavens. As yin’s energy rises it becomes more diffused, and therefore slower and cooler, whereas yang’s descending energy becomes more concentrated, harder, hotter and faster. The outcome of this process is that structures that are bigger are seen as more yin, while those that are smaller and more compact are seen as more yang.

Here is a list of some typical opposites associated with yin and yang.

Yin: passivity; coolness; stillness; potential energy (power); cool; introvert; diligent; cautious; maternal; insecure; dependent

Yang: activity heat; movement; power (obvious); self-conscious; passionate; extrovert; impulsive; stubborn; bold; paternal; adventurous; independent

Intermingled Concepts

An important principle to bear in mind is that nothing is totally yin and nothing is totally yang. The centuries-old yin/yang symbol, which everyone these days is familiar with, expresses this concept perfectly. The dark section of the yin/yang symbol is representative of yin, but within it is a small circle of the opposite (yang) from the left-hand side. If we were to look at a tree we could say that its leaves, branches and trunk represent the yin element in its structure and that the yang expression is within its downward-growing roots.

A spring onion has far more upward nature (yin) within its structure and far less root (yang); compares this with a carrot, which has a greater concentration of energy and structure within its root (yang) and less emphasis on the leaf structure (yin). Similarly, if our nature is predominantly spiritual or intellectual we are more yin than an individual who is practical and grounded, who would be seen as more yang.

People who are physically and emotionally flexible would be relatively more yin than people who are more rigid and inflexible. Nighttime, when we rest and are more passive, is traditionally understood as a more yin time, whereas the daylight hours when we are active and busy are seen as more yang. Winter, when it is colder and we are less active, is more yin than the summertime, when it is hotter and we are more outdoor and active.

By now, you’ve probably heard or felt the cosmic shift that happened at the March Equinox. Indeed, it’s quite an exciting time in the cosmos since the Goddess of Love arrived, well over a year and a half earlier than was expected, on the December solstice, December 21, 2012. However, it can also be a confusing time, as if you’re holding on to the past. Nothing seems to work, or at least not for long.

Coax Out Your Love

The Moon Goddess, the Goddess of Love and Aquarius, the facilitator of all the zodiac signs for the next 2100 years, are working closely together as a team to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to develop all the positive qualities that the Goddess of Love is emitting. First, you have to coax out your love that is hidden underneath the rubble, the pain and the hurts. Caring is the quality of the Goddess of Love that is being emphasized this year to develop, starting with caring for yourself. Only then will the love inside of you trust you to emerge.

Your Zodiac Sun Sign

Aquarius is busily facilitating each of the zodiac signs shift from their masculine articulation to their feminine, Goddess expressions. What that means to you is, the Zodiac sign that sponsored your birth and that you are a transmitter for your entire life, will be making this shift during its time on the Zodiac stage. As this occurs, your zodiac sign will then be transmitting its energies through its feminine aspect which will start your own shift whatever gender you are, to being a full-on participant in this matriarch inspired time. Get ready, it’s a bigger shift than you might realize!

Embrace the Changes

Aries the Ram has already turned over to Aries the Ewe Goddess. Likewise, Taurus the Bull has also acquiesced to Taurus the Cow Goddess. In hindsight we can look back and review our experiences during their time on the zodiac stage and embrace the changes. Many astrologers that are tuned in to this cosmic shift are now only doing astrological charts this zodiac year, 2011-12, for the zodiac signs once they have had their time on the cosmic stage and already gone through these transformations.

Your Sun Sign Guided Your Destiny

Also know, during the Goddess of Love’s matriarch reign, you will be learning to develop and express your feelings as well as unfolding your intuition. During the God of Will’s patriarch civilization, developing your power and your strength through your mind and body were more paramount. Naturally, your Sun sign was most important and guided you to your destiny.

Your Current Learning Curve

Now that the Goddess of Love is here, the shift is to your emotions and intuition. When these aspects of you are truly developed, you’ll be expressing yourself from the Goddess part of you. That’s your current learning curve, whether you realize it or not, developing those aspects of you.

Are you thinking about getting a love compatibility horoscope done, but are afraid it’ll turn out to be a total waste of time? If so, you’re not alone. But let me ask you this?

Are you tired of being alone (or worse, are you tired of being with the one you’re with)? Are you tired of kissing frogs, hoping they’ll turn out to be Prince Charming, but they only turn out to be another frog? Are you tired of going through the motions of dating, only to wind up disappointed again and again?

Again, you’re not alone, but let me ask you this?

Are you open to the idea that there’s a better way? That — in an infinite universe — the answers you seek are already out there, waiting for you? That those answers include the keys to happiness and love and everything good, and that — if you could only find them — that those answers can show you where you’ve been going wrong in your search for “Mr. Right?”

If you answered yes to most of those questions, you’re pretty much where I was in my life, ten years ago, when the most amazing thing happened to me after I’d just about lost hope of ever finding my true soul mate…

So, just what is a love compatibility horoscope?

Just what it sounds like, really; it’s a horoscope reading done with the express purpose of helping you see what you really need in a relationship, where you may have been going astray in getting that to manifest in your life, why you may have allowed yourself to do that, and how to let go of those self-defeating patterns once and for all.

Are all love compatibility horoscope readings pretty much the same?

On a high level, they all have the same basic purpose, but the techniques used are as diverse as can be: some love psychics use complex astrological charts and calculations that would make your head swim, some use tarot cards, some use no exterior aids at all; preferring to rely on their own experience and intuitive understanding to provide you with the guidance you seek.

Does the reader have to know everything about me and my current partner to get an accurate reading? What if I’m not even in a relationship right now?

There are some people (even some very highly-regarded readers) who insist that, without complete information about someone’s partner, it’s simply impossible to get an accurate compatibility reading. But there are plenty of others who say that if they had to know everything about both partners, they’d never be able to do a reading at all. And as to the second question, if you’re between relationships right now, obviously you couldn’t provide any information on your partner, could you?
