But the sun does not stay on the horizon.

It rises and sets every single day.

And if we look at our zodiacal wheel, our astrological chart, as a full 24-hour rotation,

right, that circle, then it means that energy will rise in our life, become more prominent, and then it will set in our life, right?

And so I see the ascendant as literally the energy that is here to help your soul ascend on its journey.

That is why it's the ascendant.

That energy becomes more prominent and then it gives you more of its characteristics

to help you develop in your soul's journey.

Now, your ascendant is in Virgo.

Virgo is a mutable earth sign.

It is what I call the second earth sign.

The first earth sign is Taurus and Taurus represents the organic earth.

It's like the flowers and the trees and the soil and the food we grow and all the beauty and comfort and nourishment that the earth gives us just naturally.

The second earth sign is Virgo

And Virgo represents the maiden in our astrology or the virgin is what we talked about it it's the physical body, it is the mind body connection it's ruled by the planet mercury who controls our mind and our thought, but it governs the body and its systems.

This is why Virgo is often considered to be very detail-oriented.

We can talk about it as sort of always making sure that the things are in place.

Sometimes people talk about it as critical, but I think Virgo is one of the most misunderstood signs in the zodiac, and I'm going to tell you why.

Because we talk about Virgo as the virgin, and we translate virgin to mean pure, and I don't think that that's a mistranslation.

I think we do mean pure, but we don't mean pure as perfect.
