Your Sun, Moon and Rising Signs

Your Sun Sign describes the centre of your personality, what motivates and drives you, and who you are learning to become

Your Moon Sign describes your instinctive and emotional nature. Whilst your Sun Sign describes qualities you are learning to develop and become, your Moon describes who you already are

Your Rising Sign shows the way you project yourself, how others see you, and the kind of experiences needed to make your life meaningful.

Your Ascendant is Virgo

Virgo Rising Ascendant

Your Virgo Ascendant (or Virgo Rising) reveals the ways in which you present yourself to others, as well as the ways in which you immediately respond to the world around you.

As such, it describes the ways in which we project ourselves out into the environment as well as the kinds of experiences we need to have in order to make life meaningful.

The combination of Sun, Moon and Ascendant describe what you want (Sun), what you need (Moon), and the style in which you will go about getting it (Ascendant).

Planetary ruler: Mercury

Born with Virgo on your Ascendant (or with Virgo Rising), you are likely to view the world through the lens of mental analysis, with a view toward organization.

You have strong critical faculties and need to find practical outlets for your skills, talents and abilities.

Typically humble and at times self-effacing, you are likely be more concerned with being useful than being recognized.

You need to be productive – to be of service somehow – and your chosen career will typically give you the opportunity to experience best employ your skills.

You are likely to be practical, capable and dexterous. You may be very good with facts, figures and details.

You may also be quite hard on yourself because of early childhood experiences, and need to learn to recognize and appreciate your talents.

The sign and house position of the Sun in your chart will give you many clues as to how to express your talents. Once integrated, this will also show the area of life where a sense of purpose and deeper meaning should be sought.

For a well-rounded picture, the qualities of your Sun Sign and House should be considered, as well as the qualities of your Moon sign.

Virgo Rising – The Urge For Service

When your Ascendant is Virgo, you are usually willing to assist and be of service to others. Unless other chart factors dominate, you are likely to be hardworking, conscientious and studious. You like to know your place in the wider scheme, and feel most comfortable with a plan in place.

Cleanliness and order are often very important, as is the need to be systematic. You are likely to be good at solving problems, and will do well in any situation that requires you to work through an issue or challenge in a linear, demonstrable way.

 

A Tendency Toward Criticism

Despite your abilities, you are likely to be tough on yourself, with a tendency to worry. If you do not perform tasks to an imagined standard of perfection you can be very self-critical. Your tendency to worry may undermine your nervous system, and the uncertainty of too much change can take a heavy toll.

On the way to realising your potential you may need to overcome a crippling lack of self-confidence. Virgo rising is often associated with a tendency to self-censor and criticize that can be debilitating. You may inwardly question and criticize every move that you make, leading to extreme levels of anxiety and even chronic illness if the impact on your nervous system becomes too much.

Organize a consultation with a professional astrologer to understand how unconscious patterns can undermine your sense of confidence or capacity for success.

 

A Sensitive Constitution

For these reasons, with Virgo Rising you may a have delicate constitution, and need to take extra care of your body. Your health, and especially digestion can be easily affected by negative thoughts and emotions. When anxious you will second-guess yourself and find it hard to choose. You may become easily overwhelmed so that stress gets confused with logical analysis.

This confusion amplifies your tendency to self-doubt, and you should perhaps get feedback from others when you are spiralling down a mental sinkhole. Learning to praise, rather than criticize, your own talents is a great step forward. Developing a sense of purpose through being of assistance can work wonders.

Instead of trying to be perfect Virgo Ascendant, perhaps you should aim instead to simply be better?

You may also be very particular about food, which reflects your delicate nervous system. Learn to listen to your body and take care of your health, but watch out for tendencies to worry about your wellbeing as a substitute for something better to do!

Taking care of your self is a smart choice, and you will benefit greatly by incorporating a healthy diet, workable routines and natural therapies that can assist wellness. Regular practices such as yoga and meditation that work to synthesise mind/body focus are especially useful for you.

 

Discernment and Discrimination

Whilst you enjoy doing things for others, you may have a need to try and control outcomes. This will be based on an innate fear of chaos or lack of order. You should make an effort to relax and welcome the input of others. Look for people and experiences that can teach you how to flow, trusting in the natural rhythms of life without trying to preempt every outcome.

Virgo rising is associated with the assimilation of experience. This occurs through trial and analysis, through discernment and discrimination. Use the processes of metabolism and digestion as metaphors for your own approach to life, and in this way can learn to see any imbalances within your own body as perhaps symptomatic of an imbalance in how you are assimilating your experiences.

Once you connect your fine sense of discrimination with your practical sensibilities you can be of real service to yourself and others in an unlimited numbers of ways.

 

Your Ascendant is Virgo: The Gift of Virgo Rising

At your best, you can be supportive, nurturing and stable helping others achieve practical outcomes. Your gift is your ability to add value to whatever task or problem you set your mind to.

In this way, your sense of discernment, practicality and willingness to serve rises to the fore, adding purpose and fulfilment to your life. You do best with partners and friends who uplift you, to help you see the bigger picture behind immediate appearances. You may be especially drawn to those you see as sensitive, creative or especially intuitive. The gift of Virgo Rising is the ability to discriminate precisely between what is useful for you and what is not.
