About Us
The Isle of Virgoa...
Is an imagined world dreamed up by Omy and Brinna on a long October evening walk together... It is a beautifully stunning place where all Virgos find happiness, and where we Virgo Moon sisters find that ever sought-after measure of well-ordered peace! In the spirit of that night, we created this blog to embrace all things astrology- In the hopes of spreading a little wisdom and promoting a friendly understanding of the ever-elusive, always-enigmatic subject of the stars...

Astro Manifesto!
Astrology has been an interest of ours for well over a decade. The more you learn about it, the more you realize there is to learn! This is one of the reasons we have choosen to narrow our focus and concentrate soley on a few aspects of the nulti-faceted astrological world. For instance, while the use of astrology to predict and analyze events in the outside world is admittedly fascinating, we both find it too broad in scope to hold our attention for long. We tend to be absorbed with the charts of individual people, espescially those close to us. Also, while there are many different “types” of astrology out there (Vedic, Siderreal, etc.) these are bred quite naturally out of different cultures interpretations and refinements of these astrological sympbols. Since we are in the West, we study Western astrology, as this makes the most sense for our cultural background. Again, this is not to discount any of the other types of astrology that exist, but we have enough to study when it comes to Western astrology alone, without adding in whole other cultures interpretations! Also, there are indeed many “schools” of astrological thought in existence. There are competing opinions about even the most fundamental aspects of the chart, like which house system to use. While we respect the right of each individual to make up their own mind about these issues, we are firmly of the modern or “psychological” approach to astrology. We do not believe that astrology achieved a “Golden Age” in Medieval Times (when it was “most accurate”) and has since been falling into disrepair and illegitimacy. We do believe that the introduction of Jungian ideas of archetypes and the collective unconscious fit quite nicely in astrology and serve to inform and deepen our study. But also, and most importantly, we believe in the power of free will, and the ability of each individual to determine their own fate. Astrology is an excellent map. It can describe the landscape of your personality, but it cannot tell you where to go. That is very rightfully up to you to decide. (Side note: studying the charts of twins we know is particularly fascinating for this reason! Two people with identical charts, and yet they are distinctly Individuals! Still, you see them working with the same themes—but each in their own unique way!) In the end, our study of astrology can be summed up in a very simple phrase: “As above, so below”. Astrology grew out of human nature's curiousity about the natural world. We studied the plants and the seasons, we watched night follow day, and we soon followed the movement of the stars. We recognized patterns, patterns we can now see in the movement of atomic and sub- atomic particles. And we recognized, and some of still DO recognize, that we are part of this natural environment. The same patterns we can witness happening “out there” are happening “in here” too! We are not, thankfully, separate from the natural world we inhabit, but gloriously and intrinsically part of it! And lastly, something to keep in mind is that astrology is not static. It has evolved over time, and continues to evolve with our interpration of these symbols and characters. Our blog is our attempt to add our voices to the larger story that's unfolding, while being cognizant of where we've been.
Wow!
ReplyDeleteI always thought Cancer, no question! You know, that whole 'looney' thing :) And he reminds me a lot of some of the other Cancer males I know that are in the entertainment business...
But Leo? Hmmmmm...
He DOES command your attention :)
He's soooo LEO to me! Cancer's are funny, but not that frickin' loud. Thanks for the info.
