Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, trying to figure out my whole cosmic blueprint thing. I stumbled upon this concept of sun and rising signs, and it got me thinking… what does it really mean to be a Sagittarius sun with a Virgo rising? I mean, I feel like a Sag – adventurous, optimistic, always up for a laugh. But sometimes, that Virgo rising…it’s like a little inner critic, always organizing and analyzing.
So, I decided to do a little experiment. Instead of just reading about it, I wanted to see how these two energies played out in my everyday life. I started keeping a journal, just jotting down moments where I felt particularly “Sag” and moments where I felt very “Virgo.”
Week 1: Spotting the Sagittarius
- Monday: Booked a last-minute weekend trip to the mountains. Classic Sag move – impulsive and totally driven by the need for adventure.
- Wednesday: Got into a super philosophical debate with a friend at a coffee shop. We were there for like three hours, just talking about the meaning of life. Definitely a Sag thing.
- Friday: Tried a new, exotic cuisine. Spicy, flavorful, totally out of my comfort zone…and I loved it! Sag, baby!
The Sag energy was strong this week. I felt that fire, that need to explore and experience everything. It was easy to spot.
Week 2: Hello, Virgo Rising!
- Tuesday: Spent the entire evening reorganizing my closet. Color-coded everything. And then alphabetized my spices. I couldn’t help myself!
- Thursday: Made a detailed spreadsheet to track my expenses. Okay, maybe a little too detailed. But hey, it felt good!
- Saturday: Volunteered at a local animal shelter. Helping others, being of service, feeling useful… very Virgo.
That Virgo rising was creeping in. It was all about the details, the order, the practicality. It’s like this quiet force that keeps me grounded, even when my Sag sun wants to run wild.
Week3: Finding My Own Way
- Monday:I planned the route I’d take on a trip I’d been looking forward to. This is the first time I’ve made my own plans for my own journey!
- Wednesday: I went to a new bookstore I’d never been to before. After a few hours of getting lost in the details, I ended up buying a book about history. I’m really enjoying reading it!
- Sunday: I cleaned the whole house to relax. I felt like this was the Virgo in me.
The Big Realization
After a few weeks of this, it started to click. It’s not about being one or the other. It’s about how these two energies blend together. My Sag sun gives me that spark, that desire for freedom and exploration. But my Virgo rising…it helps me channel that energy in a productive way. It helps me plan, to organize, to pay attention to the details that make the bigger picture work.
It’s like… I can dream big (Sagittarius), but I also have the tools to make those dreams a reality (Virgo). I can be spontaneous and adventurous, but also responsible and practical. I have noticed that my Sagittarius nature is getting stronger, but my Virgo traits are still there, making me a little more practical when I do things, which is a good thing, I think!
It’s still a work in progress, of course. I’m still learning, still exploring. But keeping this little journal, actually observing these energies in action…it’s been super helpful. It’s like I’m getting to know myself on a whole new level. And that, my friends, is pretty cool.
