my virgo energy is so strong. i really do love learning and working with information, creating with the earth, being a physical intuitive, communicating and learning new ways to, words, language, synthesis, science, numbers, the nervous system. all of it. being mercury ruled >>>>

virgo is so undeniably multifaceted. i play boring as protection and but when i open my mouth people are like

i have a lot of "sshhh i'm trying to listen" energy. i was that kid telling yall to be quiet and respect the teacher and always did the extra credit just to learn.

being a student is the admirable part. always being willing to admit that you don't know everything but what you do know, you KNOW it. i'm absolutely a know it all for things i really do know about and study. and when i don't know, i say it.

i'm not afraid to ask questions. everything you want to know begins with a single question. that is how all science starts. with the bravery to ask a question, the honesty to admit you don't know the answer, the willpower to initiate, and the resourcefulness to make it work.

i'm not a perfectionist. i'm about efficiency so for that, i am also insanely patient. i can make things happen when i want them to happen, trust. but then i miss things. and i don't like retracing my steps. so i make it so that i don't have to. god also gave me cap placements.

i was doing social studies fair projects in one night and winning 1st place. the idea was in my head the minute i knew the date. just because i don't have to actively work every single day doesn't mean i'm not working. work smarter, duh.

i don't believe in working harder if that doesn't lead to fruitful results. i don't take pride in physically overworking my body and using it as proof that i know how to achieve my goals. why would i ruin my tool (my body) to achieve a goal?? that makes zero sense.

virgo is so physically intuitive and we need space to retreat and rest ourselves in the ways that align with us. we may not sleep but what mercury ruled person doesn't experience some level of overthinking that keeps them up? what we need is physical recharging in our own space.

virgo is a hermit but you still hear from us, no?

mercury ruled people are by nature highly sensitive because mercury rules the nervous system. gemini is very mentally intuitive and sensitive as an air sign. virgo is very physically intuitive and sensitive as an earth sign.

i know for me as a virgo rising, i get overwhelmed.

it's never that i don't want to be around people but for now, i can't. i was always forced to be around people and never had my own space and it FRIED my nervous system. picking up on stuff. being physically harmed. too much violent touch (whoopings) and not enough gentle touch.

i went without touch for so long that any touch triggered me instantly and made me panic. repairing my nervous system is a delicate and long lasting labor of love and service to myself. i cannot jeopardize that by overwhelming myself before i am certain my boundaries work.

i had every intention of testing them for real when spring came and now spring is here and i'm in the house with yall when i had big plans to go out in the world, finally.

but that's okay! because now i can enjoy more rest and i feel grateful for it. my self care as a virgo rising + venus is long baths, beautifying my space by creating a new way to organize it and place things, reading, listening to music, daily plant walks, creating new medicine +

not talking to anyone outside of my immediate environment for a few days, massages, float tank, stretching, breathwork, swimming, lots of journaling, sleeping and resting my body, and puzzles.
