Wandering Stars: Tentacles of Truth
Every week, professional astrologers and Taurus suns Ada Pembroke and Kyle Pierce get together for 60 minutes of off the cuff astrology talk.
In this episode of the podcast, Ada and Kyle talk about the differences between Virgo and Gemini and the creative ways Mars creates trouble. Also includes a special guest appearance by (the birth chart of) Charles XII of Sweden!
I knew that I was in for an interesting ride when, on the very first day of my Mars return, a Virgo-ish friend of mine had the world's most eloquent breakdown.
The key to happiness for someone with a progressed Virgo ascendant is developing confident competence. This is my story.
Astrology’s individualized approach can help you level up your personal growth. It helps you develop an accurate model of your strengths and weaknesses, and that self-awareness helps you to zero in on the practices that will be most effective.
All of the signs can help you grow, but one sign is a particularly useful guide in your personal growth journey.
What can design thinking help astrologers understand the creative dance of Virgo and Pisces?
Most of the time Mars shows up in my life as, frankly, stupid shit. When I learned that praying a quick hymn on Tuesdays might improve my relationship with the red planet, I had to try it.
One of the difficulties of working with archetypes is that they have the tendency to get stuck in time without anyone realizing it.
The Warrior, for example, is an archetype that seems pretty easy to understand: A warrior is someone who fights, right?
But where in the modern world do you find the Warrior?
As a child, I was a bad Leo rising stereotype. Now that I’m an adult, the influence of Virgo has taught me the joy of service.
Because sometimes there are beautiful things that would exist… if only someone would give them space.
