(Bernice Grebner)
First Decanate (Virgo-Virgo): The Sagittarian Ascendant (if applicable) gives broad horizons, but on the job they get down to details and work very hard. They give this job a computer-like dedication. They like the organization they work for to be large and safe with excellent backing. They are not prone to start from a small, speculative beginning. If they do start a new business, it will have time-tested people behind it.
With the nadir in Pisces-Pisces, they have a domestic situation that usually calls for real sacrifice. There is always a feeling of uncertainty in domestic affairs or with one parent. A secret may be part of the family heritage. If they use this compassion and understanding they can care for otehrs who are in trouble and take them into their homes. At its best, this position could cause the person to want to build a kind of halfway house where people could come and get temporary help and stay until they get on their feet again.
Second Decanate (Virgo-Capricorn): Here are the people who can organize anything. They can do a good job and at the same time fulfill a deep need to serve. However, do not let their desire to serve on the job make you think they do not want power - they do, and ultimately it will slow up. They need to give the world something and not make themselves greater than the purpose they serve (at least this is the spiritual message). They can straighten out very complicated business situations and, in that sense, become invaluable.
With the nadir in Pisces-Cancer, they are willing to maek great sacrifices for the family. They never seem to be able to forget the past. They seem driven to discover the mysteries of their own life and death and the whys of birth, past lives, and all the other esoteric wisdoms. They seek a deeper meaning and identity.
Third Decanate (Virgo-Taurus): This gives the ability to back up ambition with work and the innate knowledge of how to organize in order to make money. They have all the materially oriented signs to reinforce their vocation. They have one-track minds and acquire resources almost without limit. They go right to the point with their Sagittarius Ascendant (if applicable).
With the nadir in Pisces-Scorpio, they like to move about, but for them there is really no place like home. They are willing to sacrifice much for the family, but have strong tendencies to be secretive about what goes on in the home. There is a deep desire within them to unravel the real reason for sex in our lives, besides procreation. They sense a deep connection with the universal rays of rejuvenation at the roots of our being. They have strong leanings toward genetic research.
(Frances Sakoian and Louis Acker)
Virgo MC people are usually particular about their public images. They appear cicumspect, efficient, and organized; and in their professional roles may seem cold, aloof, and critical.
With Pisces on the fourth house cusp, the homes of these people are often places of retreat, set aside for retrospection. Sometimes their houses are provided by institutions; they may live in rectories, ashrams, university-provided housing, etc.. At any rate, they enjoy privacy in their homes.
(Dane Rudhyar)
Here one may find a person who identifies with large social trends at a time when it may be his personal destiny to focus forces of radical change. This in turn forces him to take a critical Virgo approach to social institutions or set professional patterns.
(Jeanne Avery)
The ruler of Virgo, Mercury, describes mental qualities, intellectual activities, and ideas or speech. These people need a career in which they can express their practical, concrete observations and their thoughts and theories. They will be bored unless their career requires the exchange of ideas. Verbal acumen leads to activities where they express their particular points of view. Since the tenth house also describes the parent of the same sex, the photographs he took of that parent precondition success in that expression.
Mercury is the planet describing the adult ego state. The adult part of ourselves learns to express thought in a clear, concise manner, collect data, and be aware of what's going on in the world. If Mercury is well aspected, the intellectual capabilities were do doubt encouraged by the parent of the same sex. The personality may have enjoyed great rapport with that parent, shared and exchanged ideas, and respected the mental ability of that parent. He photographed that parent as one who used his mind, and was interested in education and the exchange of data. The Virgo Mercury is analytical and objective, however, so the parent may have encouraged research and attention to details. The personality can participate in anything from editing to writing. Any activity that requires a focus of mental concentration will appeal to him. Words are his vehicle.
If Mercury is not well aspected in the chart, the relationship with the parent of the same sex may not have felt comfortable and easy. Areas of communication could have been colored by that parent's own intellectual insecurity. Misunderstandings may have occurred, or lack of agreement and understanding may have been constant. The parent may have been particularly critical, overly analytical, or picky. The person may have to overcome many mental blocks before he can easily express himself. If a child is given free rein to express his own ideas or share information, his growth develops along those lines. If he is shot down or criticized for expressing himself, he learns not to risk saying what he thinks. He may have to relearn how to communicate.
There are always positive and negative interpretations of the energy described by various planets, and also various levels of energy that can be tapped. If Mercury is well aspected in the chart, the native reaches for the highest level of expression he can find. He will want to be in a career position where communications are involved, and where his ideas, information, or speech are important. He may be the decision maker. If Mercury is not well aspected, the individual may avoid the particular career activity that would bring the most fulfillment. Social activities are also described by the tenth house. The person with Virgo MC cares about how he spends time socially. He wants to be around people who share ideas, or to be in situations where he is stimulated mentally. He will enjoy lectures, theatre, concerts, or just good conversation. If Mercury is not well aspected, the Virgo MC may avoid activities where he is stimulated intellectually. Self-criticism may be his worst trait, as he may become especially critical in social situations. He may take up the criticism where the parent of the same sex left off. Learning to express the objective, analytical part of himself may bring the person with this ascendant into tremendous fulfillment with work and career, however.
Neptune rules the fourth house when Pisces is on the IC, indicating how the person feels about his home life, the parent of the opposite sex, and the conditions during the third portion of his life. It describes the kind of environment he looks for as a base of operations. Neptune is the planet of dreams, idealism, and vision in the positive sense, but describes disillusion, naiveté, or lack of reality in a negative connotation.
Neptune describes a tendency to put someone or something on a pedestal. The parent of the opposite sex may have been a visionary or a dreamer, idealistic or unrealistic, intuitive or disenchanted. Whatever the case, the young Pisces IC probably glamorized that parent. He may be very unreaslistic about the qualities of that parent, preferring to project his own dreams or colors onto that parent. Confrontation may not have been easy between the two, yet the decision to look at the reality of the relationship can be vital to progress later in life.
Pisces IC can be very sensitive to his environment. He must have ideal conditions surrounding him in order to function well. He may look for the kind of environment that will provide an escape from the harsh realities of life, that will be a haven in which he can dream his dreams. If Neptune is well aspected in the chart, he can be quite fortunate in attracting the kind of home that reflects his ideals; and he can be a visionary when it comes to land or property. If Neptune is not well aspected, the individual may settle for less than his ideal, be unrealistic about real estate, or be disillusioned as far as home life is concerned.
Neptune indicates areas where one creates circumstances by visualizing what he wants. The person with this optimistic, happy-go-lucky outlook can find perfect solutions to living problems through his creative process. He may be inspired by living close to water, such as a lake or pond. A swimming pool may be another solution to the need for water close to the home. Since Neptune rules oil and gas, the luck of this person may have to do with land where oil or gas is found. If Neptune is not well aspected, the person may be disillusioned or defeated before he beings to create an ideal lifestyle. He lets other considerations prevent him from using his marvelous visionary ability.
As the individual with Pisces IC grows older, he follows in the footsteps of the parent of the opposite sex, perhaps taking hte inherited potential one step further. He may fulfill the unrealized potential of that parent, or limit himself by the photographs he has taken of that parent. He either becomes more of a dreamer, visionary, and idealist - or settles for disappointment. If the parent of the opposite sex lived up to his expectations, he is more likely to allow himself full range with his dreams. He brings illusion into reality. If the parent disappointed him or was disillusioned, unrealistic, or naive, confrontation on some level is essential in order to better conditions in his own life. He may become quite disillusioned due to an impractical course of action. He may have to learn how to keep his goal or vision intact while he works out the practical steps toward achieving it. He may eventually become involved with concepts that will better the lot of humanity, for he secretly wants to save the world.
He may be worshipped and adored as he grows older. Conditions may enable this individual to express more of his dreams with the passing of years. He learns to be realistic about the situations that could come crashing down, becomes focused and selective about life. When the rose-colored glasses are finally removed, productivity is enhanced. With the desire to inspire others, he achieves many of the dreams of his early years.
