Choosing the Seeds We Plant...
If a Person Sows Discordant Thoughts They Will Reap Painful Experiences, But if they Sow Thoughts of Harmony They Will Garner Success and Happiness.
In the garden of our consciousness, we constantly plant seeds of thought. We sow various kinds of thoughts. These seeds are nurtured or hindered by our intentions and the emotional energy we feed them. Eventually, they grow and attract similar events into our lives. When harmonious, we barely notice them and often forget to appreciate our gifts and intentions.
Virgo, the harvest sign, reveals how and why the trials and tribulations of earthly experience offer opportunities to gain wisdom. The humble seed planted in the spring promises a bounty of unrealized possibilities, reminding us that each of life's experiences is a necessary part of preparing us not only for this life but also for the transformation that occurs when we pass from the physical to be born into a new and better life on a higher plane. As we sow, so shall we reap. The lesson is clear: what we sow in our minds and hearts, we shall reap in our lives.

Character Insight from Spiritual Astrology...Zendaya
The 2nd Decanate of Virgo (Virgo/Capricorn) — Hercules, Knowledge Gained Through Direct Observation or Participation
Perform Conscientously Whatever Work comes to Thy Hand, and Because of Thy Experience, Greater Things to Perform Will be Given Thee.
Keyword: EXPERIENCE.
Johann Bayer, 1624, WikiMedia Commons, public domain
The Saturn decanate of Virgo is symbolized by Hercules, the Hero, who completed twelve superhuman labors and reflects the potential of those born under this section of the sky. They have the ability to undertake and achieve great tasks through persistent effort. Like Hercules, individuals born during this time often lead lives full of diverse experiences.
Experience is the greatest teacher, and those born under the Saturn decanate of Virgo embody this truth. The assimilative powers of the mind conferred by Virgo are combined with the diplomatic traits of Capricorn. By resisting internal struggles and leveraging their exceptional powers of discernment and comparison, they can achieve great success and rise to impressive heights.
Those born under the influence of this decanate should be aware that self-analysis can create a negative self-image. Therefore, it is important to feel satisfied when they have done their best.
Zendaya’s dominant planet is the Sun in the Capricorn decanate of Virgo. This placement indicates that she fulfills her Power Urges by seeking opportunities to gain experience. In the seventh house, her Drive for Significance manifests through partnerships and the public eye. The close Earth grand trine between Jupiter in the eleventh house and the Moon in the third house magnetically attracts a supportive network of friends and allies who enhance her growth and support her drive to achieve AUTHORITY through EXPERIENCE. Her desire and ability to handle large-scale responsibilities, a Capricorn trait, are remarkable for her age.
Like Hercules, she is eager to take on primary responsibility for tackling difficult work and has shown a willingness to be tested. She seems to handle pressure with endurance and reliability, calm analysis, and the professionalism typical of Capricorn energy. Among the many EXPERIENCES she has gained are those of being a versatile performer with high standards—she’s a singer, producer, and fashion icon. She took on producer-level responsibilities in her acclaimed series, Euphoria, while also playing its most emotionally demanding character, Rue. Her colleagues often describe her as disciplined, focused, and meticulous—classic Virgo-Capricorn themes. She is deeply involved in costuming, writing, and even stunt coordination. This level of control and responsibility indicates she thrives under personal accountability.
To complete the twelve labors, Hercules had to be strategic and persistent. Zendaya is known for her careful planning in her career choices. She has been deliberate about avoiding typecasting. She has moved between commercial success and arthouse credibility, which requires a cool-headed, practical approach—a trait of Capricorn enhanced by Virgo’s detail-oriented nature.
Her Aquarius ascendant tempers her ambitions toward altruism and social awareness. She often speaks of:
Learning from her experiences, staying humble
The desire to lead with kindness and “grow into” the responsibilities she holds
Not allowing fame to “change who she is at her core”
Signs of a soul developing toward a constructive role in the “Divine Plan.
Not everyone will achieve fame and glory in our journey to discover who we are. That makes us no less important in the Divine Plan. Each of us plays a vital role, and our task is to learn how to recognize and feel valued as we follow our inner guidance and what we learn through the lessons of astrology, while discovering who we are through compassion, kindness, and a desire to help others.

In Elbert Benjamine's classic series, he explains the astrological significance of the sign Virgo and its relationship to Arcanum II, the tarot card of “Science.”
EXPRESSION:
In the spiritual world, the consciousness of Absolute Being, which embraces the three terms of all manifestation; the past, the present, and the future.
In the intellectual world, the binary reflection of unity and the perception of things visible and invisible.
In the physical world, feminine energy uniting with masculine energy to accomplish a whole vision and an equal destiny.
ADMONITION:
Remember, then, son of earth, that the mind is enlightened in seeking God with the eyes of the will. God has said, ‘Let there be Light,’ and light inundated space. Man should say, ‘Let truth show itself and good come to me.’ And if man possesses a healthy will, he will see the truth shine, and guided by it will attain all to which he aspires. If Veiled Isis should appear in the prophetic signs of thy horoscope, strike resolutely at the door of the future and it will open to you; but study for a long time the door you should enter. Turn your face toward the sun of justice, and the knowledge of the true will be given you. Keep silent in regard to your intentions, so as not to be influenced by the contradictions of men.
Mercury is the ruling planet of Virgo.
The following is a prayer for Harmonizing the Energy of Mercury and Uranus, the upper octave expression of Mercury.
For use at times when thought is disturbed and difficult; when we are restless and apt to be extreme in our viewpoint or action; or, when there are drastic changes in our lives.
Constructive Intellectual Urges require individual Self Expression in the environment thru concentration, use of the mind and analysis of situations. Constructive Individualistic Urges inspire Originality and best express thru moderate viewpoints, tolerance and avoidance of extremes in all things.
O Thou Eternal Spirit, in Whom I live, move, breathe and have my Being! I rely upon Thy Power to bring to a successful conclusion those matters thru which I cannot clearly see the way and in which I have done my best. Bring to me the realization that happiness and benevolence, confidence and trust in Thee will cause all things to work out for my ultimate good. Inspire me to see only good in others.

Why Astrology and the Tarot are so important to understanding Traditional Knowledge
The word Kabala signifies traditional knowledge. It thus refers to the Oral Law, as handed down from antiquity; and embraces the occult traditions of all lands and all peoples. Often it is used merely as referring to the esoteric doctrines of the Jews; but in its broader sense it includes also the secret doctrine of other races. This secret doctrine, common to many lands, was jealously guarded from the profane, and was never permitted to pass into writing except in such ambiguous terms as to baffle the uninitiated as to its true purport. In this sense the sacred books of the world, including the Avesta, the Vedas and the Bible are largely kabalistical; for they set forth traditions that are capable of an inner, or esoteric, interpretation. In fact, there are usually several interpretations possible, each more inner version revealing a deeper truth to those who have advanced along the path far enough to comprehend it.
And this seems the proper place to point out that the unwritten kabala, like the written kabala, is set forth in symbolical language, with purposeful blinds and subterfuges to confuse the uninitiated; so that of the few who undoubtedly exist at the present day who have received it, most remain in as much ignorance of its true interpretation as the majority of students do after studying the more accessible written kabala. This unwritten kabala has been transmitted only through certain secret schools. Those receiving it well merit what is given to them. They are left to their own devices in the matter of interpretation. And because the real keys to its interpretationóastrology and the tarotóhave been largely ignored, or distorted, they have floundered sadly in arriving at its meaning. Whether written or unwritten, the kabala is a philosophy correlated to esoteric astrology as exemplified by the tarot; and it can only be comprehended fully by those who perceive the true relation between astrological energies and their pictured tarot exemplification.
