Virgo has a mission. The mission of Virgo is to separate what is useful from that which is not useful. This is called discernment. This is a sign that needs to feel a sense of usefulness and purpose. Someone needs to create order from chaos. They've earned a reputation for being too critical. Don't take their criticism personally. Everyone and everything is subject to the same scrutiny. Those who are comfortable in chaos will not last long around Virgo. Their perfectionist drive comes from their innermost being. They may seem picky and uptight to other people but the reason why Virgo can get so uptight is because theirs is a never-ending job. There is always work to be done and so much of it is not fully appreciated by other people. Remember, Virgo has a large contribution to make to the world. Do you want your dentist to be a slob? Do you want to sleep on unchanged sheets in a hotel room? Do you care if the cook washes his hands? Virgo has taken on the job of worry and concern over the everyday duties that actually make life liveable in so many unseen ways. Virgo is the civilizing effect on mankind.

Virgo is into reality. They don't dream about what is possible- they do it. If the five senses cannot detect it, then what use is that? Virgo has a talent for logical analysis. Virgo and Gemini are both ruled by Mercury. Virgo sorts through the Gemini function which takes in everything. It sorts through it and files away that which may be used later if necessary then tosses out that which has no use. Pure Virgo energy always knows where the scissors are. A place for everything and everything in it's place. If you won't do it, then they will. Virgo likes to help. It's a service-oriented sign.

Thank a Virgo today for being humble enough to do what needs to be done. For taking the time to fuss over the small details which enhance the quality of life in so many practical ways.

The House with Virgo on the cusp is where you will learn to use discernment.

THIS was deep/in depth?! lol

If the five senses cannot detect it, then what use is that?

I dunno; you tell me? what transcends the senses? Nothing I can think of.....

anything that is 'outside the senses' is rendered 'unfathomable/unprecievable' if you can't come into contact with it somehow, than how can you know about it? Life is full of surprises, get ready for all of them....and good luck...

I guess I'm a different breed then. Outside the senses, is a world I can perceive. I may not have logical explanation (wordly logic) but I know what I feel, smell, taste, hear and see are not all that's out there. Too many experiences in the supernatural to disregard.

perhaps I haven't clarified myself well enough; what I was saying is even the supernatural is preciveable and can be experienced all things that we can come to learn about are, and anything we don't know about is outside of our knowledge/awareness; it's not saying it's not real, it's saying we don't know about it yet. now if someone came to me and told me somethings out there I'd like to believe it, but I'd rather come into contact with it for lack of fear, and desire of understanding and knowledge; I want first-hand contact with it; the idea of it is great, but if it's out there as something more than an idea, let's find it!. Wether it exists in the mind, or abstract as an idea it can be fathomed, and understood; I'm not saying that just because I don't know about it yet that it means that it dosen't exist.

and 'existence' is a matter of form; as long as it has conception whether it be on the absract plane or the physical, it can be concevied of; have YOU ever thought of something that was unconcievable? lol if you had I'd have to call you a liar because this thing or things is beyone conception, that's why it's called unconvievable in the first place.

EVERYTHING can be explained. It's a matter of finding the words for it. People try to mystify everything just to keep it interesting, but if that's so, what's the bother for expansion/discovery? Why not stay in the muck of ingorance, when you could use that spark of inspiration/wonder to create something? Everything that has solid form started off as an idea in the abstract. I just am too enthusiastic to just leave it be, I want to pursue it, and give it form. I dream wide, and large dreams, but I want to manifest them, rather than just kicking back and waiting for it to happen; dreaming is only HALF the fun in the creative process.
