Virgo in Esoteric Astrology

Virgo at the Personality Level

Virgo brings discernment and refinement to whatever it touches -- exoterically ruled by Mercury, oriented toward discrimination and the right ordering of what is valued.

Virgo at the Soul Level

Virgo is esoterically ruled by the Moon veiling Vulcan. Virgo's Labor of Hercules is Seizing the Girdle of Hippolyte -- claiming right authority over the nurturing, form-building nature so it serves what it has hidden and nurtured, rather than obscuring it.

Moon itself carries Ray 4 -- see the Seven Rays explained for what each Ray means. Read the full myth behind this Labor: The Labors of Hercules.

Virgo at the Hierarchical Level

Virgo is hierarchically ruled by Jupiter. What Virgo carries and protects for one soul's sake, at this level, is carried on behalf of the group -- the hidden Christ nurtured in matter becomes, Hierarchically, something nurtured for humanity's eventual birth.
