Perfectionism is a trait that is specific to Virgo correct? Well I've learned that from my own experience that it's used to deny or help realize the span of our own personal potential.....it's a dangerous trek, fall off, and your depressed beyond belief becuase you didn't ambitiously arrive at the goal you thought you would; stay on, and your driven further, faster, and more hungry for life and the pursuit for everything then ever before; it feels like death, and rebirth; growing from the forceful and realization that I want far too much than I myself can accrue and dying in a way because of that same impulse....I've learned to use it as a backdrop to fool others not into not just being perfect per se, but to show them that they should rely on me, and believe in me, hell envy me in a way! But it's used to master a deeper well of emotions that I wasn't even aware of.....because of my need to be perfect, and proud, and poised I kept the perfectionist self up, I realized I was so ambitious becuase I wanted for so much...what I'm saying is is that there is a passionate side of Virgo hidden under a need to control not the environment, but themselves; self mastery/understanding in all that it means even before the rawness of emotional expression saddly if it's poorly understood....I can't speak for everyone, but for myself, I pride myself on the ability to control my deeper emotions; nothing moves me unless I want to be moved. How have your experience with your perfectionism been?
Our gift and curse
It's an introverted form of egotism....forcing such intense and strong standards on yourself becuase you feel in someway you deserve them; otherwise, why desire perfection? why not take slack standards, and fall shy, and short of yourself? Becuase perhaps we don't want to dissappoint ourselves becuase we believe we are secretly more than what we externally put on. I've learned perfectionism is the harnessed form of a savage, and primordially driven ID. An Ideal that is placed on a person, if even at that persons own detriment......I mean look at all the people who want plastic surgery, and the spiritualistic monks who train mind, body, and soul, what is it all for? What is the grand goal purpose? I speculate that it's simply to be one with one self.....to acheive a hightened form of awarness beyond the self, when we are whole within, we turn to the outside.
to achieve harmony with oneself; a resonance of the soul....maybe perfectionism is used (in the physical sense of itself) to force and instill the belief that we want to be whole, (utilizing the Mind, and Soul for higher expression) what an idea! We (as a people not as a specific sign) use wealth and materialism to gain a sense of self, to prove that we can manifest our destinies..... but what if that's not the true purpose of it? What if it's (perfectionism) just a metaphor for the soul to develop, maybe it's just about the souls journey through the turbulence, and tranqulity of life.....a period of reflection to reach inward, and gain a firm idea of who we are...
