Virgo
Virgo refers to the purity of Matter, and the capacity of Matter to respond to the impact of God's Love upon It. The Virgin (mother-matter) is essentially receptive and her response always depends on the impact of the consciousness within her. The body will never turn its back on us, but rather it is we who neglect it. Caring for the body is necessary because in its generous receptivity is the springboard for the right attitude, the purified character which will later be the basis for the expression of the inclusive Love or Christ principle.
As in the case of a shining or precious stone, in order for the soul to express itself on the outer plane in its fullness, it needs a long and slow process of inner adaptation, in which "the mother" (the matter aspect) is the custodian and at the same time the nurturing substance.
