Chiron and Wholeness: A Primer on Amazon

Chiron and Wholeness: A Primer on Barnes & Noble

Discover this permanent collection of articles on Pluto, Saturn and Uranus, created for the 1st International Astrology Day and 2010's turning-point Cardinal T-Square. The event is over, but the blog posts linger on as your Change Survival Tool Kit!

To learn the characteristics of a Radical Virgo, read Joyce Mason’s article, “The Radical Virgo.” In a nutshell, these Virgos are not the old fussbudget stereotype—no Felix Ungers or Adrian Monks here. Radical Virgos have the potential to change the world through their ability to develop and discover their unique pattern, becoming true human beings—not “human doings.” Radical Virgos give service in a whole new way by contributing to their community and world what they were designed to give. When we each do that, we have made heaven on earth. It’s like having all the cogs in the great wheel of creation turning like they were just oiled!

You don’t even have to be a Virgo to be a “Radical Virgo." It helps if you have your Sun or a few other planets in the Virginal Maiden. (A Radical Virgo may be anything but virginal, as you’ll read.) If you read this article and you’ve got the spirit of this way of Self-expression, you have been radically Virginized! You don’t join this club. You recognize that you already belong.

This award-winning blog is a place where all signs--not just Virgos--learn how to express the best of their star map.

Better Selves = Better World

The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly--that is what each of us is here for. ~ Oscar Wilde

Joyce Mason has Sun in the last degree of Virgo, three planets in Libra, Taurus Rising and a Capricorn Moon. She's a "PUNC," or a person with a prominence of the outer planets Pluto, Uranus, Neptune--add bridging and healing Chiron. (See her Outerplanetary People series for more on PUNCs.) Joyce is often mistaken for an Aquarius/ Sagittarius blend. Even if you don’t speak astrology, that makes sense on some symbolic level because they both end in “ius.” She believes that I and Us are one in the same—and celebrates the human spirit in which we’re all joined.

First and foremost a writer, Joyce is also a practicing astrologer, tarot reader, dreamworker, and flower essence practitioner. Her astrological specialties are the sign of Virgo and the centaur planet, Chiron. She writes on these and many other topics. Read her complete bio and astrology articles on her Writer Joyce Mason website.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires bloggers to disclose any relationship they have between a product manufacturer or service provider, when writing about a product or service.

My guidelines on The Radical Virgo follow:

~ I am never paid to do a review. I never accept money to review a product or service. I invest my own time to review and test products. Occasionally, I will accept a free copy of a book or similar product before or after a review, but the review is not contingent on such an exchange. I review books or products only because they move me and for purposes of sharing "good finds" with my readers.


~ If I create a link to a product or service in a review, sometimes I may get paid a commission if you purchase the product or service. These links are included after the posts are written, and posts are never composed for with the intent to advertise. They’re provided primarily for your convenience, if interested in learning about a book or product mentioned. The commission merely helps offset the expenses of operating a blog.

~ No advertiser will ever influence the content, subjects, or posts made in this blog.


Any exceptions to these policies will be stated at the bottom of any post to which they apply.
