I knew you had to have a prominent Virgo influence!<br /><br />I have to agree with what your first teacher says about the 4th house, too. I have Mars in Cancer on the IC, and in addition to being "the Radical Virgo," I am so Cancerian. Fortunately, they complement each other. Once a friend/colleague called me the uber mother. I'm probably the most maternal person I know who has never had children of her body. This has freed me up to nurture the world, a very special husband, and a menagerie of four-legged children.<br /><br />I'm glad to be part of your Harmonic Concordance family, out applying the Radical Virgo principles to tidying up the world. :)Joyce Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462878902674014180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881668285026141614.post-77455206775389710752014-02-26T21:50:47.410-06:002014-02-26T21:50:47.410-06:00More than twenty years ago, and you're just NO...More than twenty years ago, and you're just NOW making me aware of this typically outstanding work?<br />Shame on you! LOL<br /><br />You know some 45 years ago my 1st astrologer teacher, Lionel Day, once said to me, "Yes, the Sun and Ascendant are important, but if you really want to know what someone really is like, look at the 4th house cusp...that's what we are at the very roots of ourselves."<br /><br />Well, now I know what it means to have Virgo there (along w/ my N. Node). In my bones, I'm pure Virgo through and through.<br /><br />Great piece, Joyce. <br />Johnny Mirehielhttp://hcblog.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881668285026141614.post-65538348766379615352013-04-20T15:50:23.757-05:002013-04-20T15:50:23.757-05:00You're article really has withstood the test o...You're article really has withstood the test of time! I was glad to have stumbled across it, it definitely helps me to make sense of my Virgotude. With Virgo rising, Chiron in Cancer, South Node in Virgo, with Mercury, Venus, and the Sun in Aquarius; I definitely feel radical. Would you say Chiron 2*27' is conjunct the Moon 5*15' in Cancer? What do you see with this information?<br /><br />It's so lovely that you opened yourself up to be a blogger in the realm of astrology instead of staying in the shadows.Thank you!

Happenstance lead me to this article (you linked to it from the article "Your Astrological Blind Spot"). <br /><br />I seem to be at typical Virgo with living alone (an usually enjoying it), owning a pet, and working in a middle-level position in education. However, once others get to know me I've left many scratching their head, with doing everything from meeting the Queen Mum to experience cultural immersion/exchange programs where I often had heart-to-heart talks with people from much different upbringings and cultures from my own. From spending retreats with nuns to scuba diving in very deep water (oops, Neptunian slip!). <br />Thanks for sharing this article because now some things make better sense!<br /><br />~KrissyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881668285026141614.post-26532998865337203742011-06-26T15:09:34.839-05:002011-06-26T15:09:34.839-05:00It's me. :) Chiron in 6th opp (Uranus conj Asc...It's me. :) Chiron in 6th opp (Uranus conj Ascendant) + Virgo Sun in stellium conj Pluto.

It has just kept giving since I first wrote it in the early '90s. An example is your notice (I had never thought about it)of how it relates to people with Pluto conjunct Uranus opposed Saturn/ Chiron. Here's another interesting idea to contemplate regarding "continua". My 1st astrology teacher used to say that women own their Sun more as they age; men express/own more their Moon. I'm also noticing that as this Radical Virgo becomes more mature, I am owning my Pisces complement more. I'd love to hear how others experience the recessive side of their continuum as they grow.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing! As you may have seen, one reader's resonance to this article two decades after it was written was the catalyst to creating The Radical Virgo blog. I so love your continued part of it, Mandi!Joyce Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462878902674014180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881668285026141614.post-42349129235212227222011-06-20T08:09:07.447-05:002011-06-20T08:09:07.447-05:00Hi Joyce,
Fabulous article. The Virgo-Pisces axis...Hi Joyce,<br /><br />Fabulous article. The Virgo-Pisces axis (or continuum, as I'm going to call it from now on) has always fascinated me and I've had many people in my life who have that continuum strong in their chart.<br /><br />I'll be sending it on to a few friends, including hubby who has a packed 6th house, including Mercury in Virgo conjunct Pluto and Pisces-Virgo nodes.<br /><br />Reading it, it struck me that your words seem to speak very strongly to those of us born with the Uranus-Pluto Virgo conjunction opposing the Saturn-Chiron conjunction in Pisces. We've just been through our midlife transits and have our Chiron return coming up in a few years. <br /><br />Thanks again and I'm glad that Linnea has found you <br /><br />MandiMandi Lockleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08583430448640478127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881668285026141614.post-36310067469168616472011-06-14T08:15:13.287-05:002011-06-14T08:15:13.287-05:00Hi, Anonymous--and thanks for stopping by to comme...Hi, Anonymous--and thanks for stopping by to comment. As it says in the sidebar of The Radical Virgo blog, it's really up to you to decide if you're a Radical Virgo:<br /><br /><i>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.</i><br /><br />There are a few hints in a chart, but no guarantees, because how you live and work your chart really determines it. The question is whether you relate to the ideas in the article. The astrological hints that you might be a RV are any planet in Virgo, especially Sun, Moon or ASC; and outer planets (Pluto, Uranus, Neptune or Chiron)in aspect, especially close aspect, to Virgo planets. This would be true of Uranus most of all.<br /><br />Hope this helps,<br />JoyceJoyce Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462878902674014180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881668285026141614.post-75467872918346977582011-06-14T02:04:59.627-05:002011-06-14T02:04:59.627-05:00Salutation!

It’s enough that most well developed Virgos are stars without even trying though their devotion to bring order out of chaos in every aspect of life and their magnetic personality which draw everybody toward them for their stability, honestly, intelligence, purity, practical advices/solutions and oh, above of all that, their unmatched sense of humor lol.<br /><br />I want to know if the concept of Radical Virgo applies to me. Here is my natal chart:<br />Sun in Virgo, Moon in Cancer, Mercury in Leo, Venus in Libra, Mars in Libra, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Virgo, Uranus in Scorpio, Neptune in Sagittarius, Pluto in Libra, Chiron in Taurus, Ceres in Capricorn.<br /><br />Position of houses are located in the sign of the previous one, like House 1 in Taurus, House 2 in Gemini, House 3 in Cancer…ect..ect<br /><br />Thanks & have a nice day :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881668285026141614.post-80048125233613232822010-08-26T21:15:42.269-05:002010-08-26T21:15:42.269-05:00Hi, chartreuseviolet--I'm so happy to hear tha...Hi, chartreuseviolet--I'm so happy to hear that this article spoke to you so deeply. When I wrote it in 1992, I had no idea it would prove timeless and helpful to so many Virgos and their Pisces complements who have not felt served by the "typical" descriptions of these signs. I love open heart/hollow bone. The Lakota way and wisdom always wows me.

I've always felt like a bad virgo, or a fake pisces, because of all the tradtional press on virgos. This is particularly true in regards to the virgo north node and how we're supposed to turn away from our pisces south node. I love my pisces node and my pisces moon. In addition, I have a 2nd house stellium of four planets in virgo opposing all that piscesness, and super chiron all over me. Needless to say, I must be a radical virgo, and maybe even with radical pisces filling!<br /><br />Every part of this article touched on something I've dealt with, especially recently with the huge oppositions falling on my 1st saturn return. I think the uranus chaos has finally given way to a "nervous breakthrough" and I'm feeling life really present and "being here now." And the synchronicity of this is amazing as well: I'm reading this while talking to a woman I've quickly become enthralled with. I've been very "free" in the past and celibate for the last 8 years, true to form. And now, in spite of my fluid sexuality, I find myself shocked by the prospect of a relationship with anyone, let alone an amazing nurturing evolved woman. TMI, but this article is all about opening the heart and being a "hollow bone", as my Lakota relatives say, for the spirit to work through. Amazing, and great website.chartreusevioletnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881668285026141614.post-16555936319807959932010-07-25T10:11:17.090-05:002010-07-25T10:11:17.090-05:00Hi, Linnea--

I did a double-take, because as you can see on the first comment, I have another astrologer friend named Linea (one N). I truly love that name.<br /><br />So glad this article speaks to you, as it has done for many for so long. I first wrote it/it appeared in The Mountain Astrologer in 1992. I'm planning an update to it soon! This article catalyzed the creation of this blog last year because of an enthusiastic reader. It remains on my Top 10 most read articles.<br /><br />There are many articles here, and I look forward to hearing from you in the comments in the future. Mandi Lockley has been one of my great new astrologer friend finds after my 7-year hiatus from the stars. Astrology provides one of the best communities in the heavens and on earth!

I'm a three-degrees Virgo (8/27) with Uranus and Pluto conjunct at 18-degreesish and Saturn in Pisces (it's part of a water Grand Trine with Jupiter and Neptune).<br /><br />I really enjoyed this article and learned a lot from it. I can see RV-ness in aspects of my being (the Pisces-attraction factor, for starters -- my daughter, as well as many of my closest friends, are Pisces), and I see RV-in-transition in others.<br /><br />Interestingly, I've been doing Kundalini Yoga for a little over a year and the internal shifts I've felt as a result have been profound.<br /><br />Thank you for writing this. I'm adding you to my follow list and will definitely be back!LMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09160163335941092292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881668285026141614.post-75422927204843287172010-04-10T23:01:58.341-05:002010-04-10T23:01:58.341-05:00Hi, Anonymous--

I wish I had a dollar for every person who has said those exact words after reading this article, i.e., "Where have you been all my life?" LOL! Sounds like a great pick-up line, but it's really the sound of kindred spirits finding each other. It has amazed me what a chord "The Radical Virgo" has continued to strike since I first wrote it in 1992. It has always been out there somewhere, originally in The Mountain Astrologer and in other places online. A person with your reaction made me see I needed to be out there being "The Radical Virgo" on this blog. I had been on a long hiatus from astrology. What I'm trying to say is that the concepts in this article have a life of their own. I feel privileged to have channeled them and to share them. It enables me to meet more people in our fabulous Rad Club!<br /><br />I am very happy to know you.

It has been delightful to reconnect with you and so many of my old "astro buds" since the synchronicity that led me to start this blog. Even though I think my hiatus from private consultations is likely to be permanent, writing about astrology is apparently the keeper! I don't rule out speaking, either. Maybe we'll have to have another "Chiron salon" sometime in the future. What great memories.Joyce Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462878902674014180noreply@blogger.com
