How can you be hap\u00adpy when so many are suf\u00adfer\u00ading; how can you be at peace when so many in your world are trou\u00adbled with strife and con\u00adflict? How is this possible?<\/p>\n<p>The answer to the ques\u00adtion of where you will find hap\u00adpi\u00adness and peace has always been the same. Hap\u00adpi\u00adness and Peace can\u00adnot be found in some spe\u00adcial cor\u00adner of the world, nor in any cor\u00adner of the cos\u00admos. The place that you must start is with\u00adin your\u00adself; hap\u00adpi\u00adness and peace are root\u00aded with\u00adin your true heart and held for\u00adev\u00ader with\u00adin your lumi\u00adnous&nbsp;soul.<\/p>\n<p>We have come to that time of year, yet ever-present some\u00adwhere in your very own chart, we have come to that sacred time where we give thanks to and hon\u00ador the gifts that Vir\u00adgo brings to our lives. After the stretch\u00ading and striv\u00ading for greater self-expres\u00adsion and authen\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adty in Leo, we all have need for a time to reflect, recon\u00adsid\u00ader, and improve our\u00adselves; we all need to know and feel that there is good and beau\u00adty in our\u00adselves and in the&nbsp;world.<\/p>\n<p>After every Fixed Sign, (Tau\u00adrus, Leo, Scor\u00adpio, and Aquar\u00adius), the Cir\u00adcle of Life moves us into what we need, the adapt\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty and inte\u00adgra\u00adtion that fol\u00adlow in the Muta\u00adble Signs (Gem\u00adi\u00adni, Vir\u00adgo, Sagit\u00adtar\u00adius, and Pisces). These are the \u201cTran\u00adsi\u00adtion\u00adal Signs\u201d, the Ener\u00adgy-Forms whose pur\u00adpose is help us move from one state of Con\u00adscious\u00adness and Being into anoth\u00ader. Tru\u00adly, it is in the Muta\u00adble Signs that we take what we start\u00aded with in the Car\u00addi\u00adnal Signs, and then moved towards ful\u00adfill\u00adment in the Fixed Signs; and now we need to under\u00adstand, so that by our Expe\u00adri\u00adence, Wis\u00addom and Love we may move into a greater state of aware\u00adness, accep\u00adtance and understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Much like its \u201ccousin\u201d Gem\u00adi\u00adni, who is also ruled by Mer\u00adcury (or Her\u00admes the Mes\u00adsen\u00adger), Vir\u00adgo is equal\u00adly a sign of \u201cThe Mind\u201d. Gem\u00adi\u00adni is about the won\u00adder\u00adful fac\u00adul\u00adty of posit\u00ading mul\u00adti\u00adple points of view, of being thrilled and delight\u00aded by our won\u00adder\u00adous tal\u00adent for ques\u00adtion\u00ading and re-ques\u00adtion\u00ading, of fram\u00ading and refram\u00ading our points of view; with Gem\u00adi\u00adni you look at your world with \u201cthe eyes of a child\u201d, won\u00adder\u00ading and watch\u00ading with a mul\u00adti\u00adtude of approach\u00ades and angles as you mar\u00advel at the mir\u00ada\u00adcle that is Creation.<\/p>\n<p>Where\u00adas in Vir\u00adgo, we use our mind to find the most ele\u00adgant, ver\u00adsa\u00adtile, and mean\u00ading\u00adful way in which to under\u00adstand our\u00adselves and our world. We use our fac\u00adul\u00adty of \u201cDis\u00adcern\u00adment\u201d or \u201cDis\u00adcrim\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion\u201d, and with atten\u00adtion to the details, to the intri\u00adca\u00adcies, inter\u00adcon\u00adnec\u00adtions, and lay\u00aders of the count\u00adless forms of the many instances of spir\u00adit, by see\u00ading the many in their mul\u00adti\u00adple con\u00adnec\u00adtions, we weave our under\u00adstand\u00ading of the greater whole into the One. Where\u00adas Gem\u00adi\u00adni is all about fol\u00adlow\u00ading our insa\u00adtiable curios\u00adi\u00adty, Vir\u00adgo is about our mind\u2019s gift for exact\u00ading analy\u00adsis and refinement.<\/p>\n<p>In this time of Vir\u00adgo espe\u00adcial\u00adly, and as an inte\u00adgral pres\u00adence in your body, mind, and spir\u00adit, you will become bet\u00adter by mak\u00ading use of this gift of clar\u00adi\u00adty and grace every day. Take some time to pause and con\u00adsid\u00ader, to clear\u00adly dis\u00adcern what was and what may be, so that you may learn how to \u201cdo bet\u00adter and be bet\u00adter\u201d every day. It is a time-hon\u00adored prac\u00adtice among many who are on the path of spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal self-improve\u00adment to pre\u00adpare for each day ahead by care\u00adful\u00adly con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ading what lies before you; and then equal\u00adly close each day by exam\u00adin\u00ading how you fared and how you might do bet\u00adter next&nbsp;time.<\/p>\n<p>What\u00adev\u00ader prac\u00adtice works best for you, by what\u00adev\u00ader means and meth\u00adods that help you to main\u00adtain atten\u00adtive\u00adness and mind\u00adful\u00adness, you will see that there is only one way to find the peace that you seek. It starts with the under\u00adstand\u00ading and accep\u00adtance that the only con\u00adtrol you will ever tru\u00adly have, and the only mas\u00adtery you tru\u00adly need to acquire, is for you to lift your\u00adself up by your self-aware\u00adness. It is by this that you stay on the roy\u00adal or mid\u00addle path of self-con\u00adtrol, and this will lead to your self-mastery.<\/p>\n<p>Vir\u00adgo is one of the prin\u00adci\u00adpal por\u00adtals to the expe\u00adri\u00adence of Ini\u00adti\u00ada\u00adtions. As in ancient cul\u00adtures, like in the Less\u00ader and Greater Mys\u00adter\u00adies of Greece and Roman cul\u00adture, and in var\u00adi\u00adous ways on up to our present age, we have always under\u00adstood that we must pre\u00adpare our\u00adselves for entrance into a fuller par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpa\u00adtion in our soci\u00adety and cul\u00adture. You must become a mas\u00adter of the tech\u00adniques for life and liv\u00ading in your time, as you move from novice to stu\u00addent, and then adept and even\u00adtu\u00adal mas\u00adtery in the arts and crafts of liv\u00ading a whole life, of becom\u00ading a whole person.<\/p>\n<p>You only grow by tri\u00adal and error, by learn\u00ading from your mis\u00adtakes and by your striv\u00ading to do bet\u00adter. We only grow when we try and fail, and then try again. Our so-called \u201cmis\u00adtakes and errors\u201d are the means to our sal\u00adva\u00adtion. Fail\u00adure and Growth are insep\u00ada\u00adra\u00adble; you can only learn by dis\u00adcov\u00ader\u00ading what not to do and dis\u00adcov\u00ader\u00ading how you might do bet\u00adter. With Vir\u00adgo, by your self-cor\u00adrec\u00adtion and adjust\u00adment, yes by your humil\u00adi\u00adty and ser\u00advice to one anoth\u00ader, you will slow\u00adly but sure\u00adly lift your\u00adself and one anoth\u00ader high\u00ader. This is known as the Path\u00adway to Per\u00adfec\u00adtion, and this is the Gift of&nbsp;Virgo.<\/p>\n<p>And most cer\u00adtain\u00adly at the core of this gift is found the price\u00adless reward that all have sought. Many believe that their hap\u00adpi\u00adness and peace will come if they have rich\u00ades or fame, or pow\u00ader and posi\u00adtion. But the Wis\u00addom Keep\u00aders and Sages know that these are not \u201cthings in them\u00adselves\u201d; they are mere\u00adly ephemer\u00adal moments in the jour\u00adney that is life. The great\u00adest gift, the trea\u00adsure of trea\u00adsures is found by reach\u00ading a qual\u00adi\u00adty or state of being, a Way of Being that holds you true to your heart and soul. Yes, the great\u00adest gift of Vir\u00adgo is to live with Peace of&nbsp;Mind.<\/p>\n<p>The good life is a beau\u00adti\u00adful life, and it is found\u00aded, formed, and held true by the qual\u00adi\u00adty and state of your thoughts. The whole pur\u00adpose of meta\u00adphys\u00adi\u00adcal, spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal, and philo\u00adsoph\u00adi\u00adcal teach\u00adings is to help you find the way to Peace and Hap\u00adpi\u00adness. The Wis\u00addom held by Vir\u00adgo will help you to form the sacred tem\u00adple of your Mind. When the Lumi\u00adnous path of Wis\u00addom is fol\u00adlowed, forged by the del\u00adi\u00adcate and inte\u00adgral bal\u00adance of your Intu\u00adition and Rea\u00adson, you will achieve a know\u00ading and being that is lucid, self-crit\u00adi\u00adcal, and open to the ever-unfold\u00ading jour\u00adney of Spirit-Life-Consciousness.<\/p>\n<p>Quite sim\u00adply and won\u00adder\u00adful\u00adly, you will walk the path of the One, which is known as the Path of Beauty:<\/p>\n<p><em>As I walk, as I&nbsp;walk<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Uni\u00adverse is walk\u00ading with&nbsp;me<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In beau\u00adty it walks before me<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In beau\u00adty it walks behind me<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In beau\u00adty it walks below&nbsp;me<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In beau\u00adty it walks above&nbsp;me<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Beau\u00adty is on every&nbsp;side<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As I walk, I walk with Beauty.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Johfra Boss\u00adchart Zodi\u00adac Paint\u00adings The Great\u00adest Gift&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One of the most pro\u00adfound chal\u00adlenges you will face in your jour\u00adney of awak\u00aden\u00ading is this: how can you find a place of hap\u00adpi\u00adness and peace in a world that is torn and bro\u00adken by human con\u00adflict, and by nat\u00adur\u00adal and human-made dis\u00adas\u00adters?
