I’m a Leo and Jonny is a Libra, but this is a very Virgo household. Our composite chart has oodles of Virgo planets, I’ve got Mars, Pluto, and the Midheaven in Virgo, and Jonny has Venus and Mars in this service-loving sign.
So while you’d think I’d be happy (for once) about Saturn ending his interminable dance across my many Leo planets, that joy is eclipsed by the prospect of Saturn in Virgo torturing my Virgo household for the next two years (through October 29, 2009). As Virgo types, both my dear spouse and I endeavor to deliver excellent service, customer satisfaction, and a high degree of quality in all we do; if we occasionally fall short of these goals – and we do, we do! – it’s not for lack of trying. Alas, the lesson of Saturn in Virgo seems to be that as mere mortals, we will inevitably – and more often than we’d like – fall short of perfection. We will from time to time fail to meet our goals, will fail to make customers happy, and will let a few bad pieces of work slip through the cracks, if only because we didn’t get quite enough sleep last night.
I’m sure the lesson in all this is to stop identifying so closely with our work, to learn to celebrate imperfection as part of the human condition, etc. But today, specifically, it’s frustrating… so very, very frustrating.
Are you a perfectionist? And are you finding it harder and harder to meet your own high standards?
