When Everything Becomes Too Interesting - A Virgo Lesson in Discernment
When you are naturally drawn to patterns, meaning and what lies beneath the surface, almost anything can become interesting. During Virgo season, I have been considering the other side of this capacity - knowing when not to analyse, interpret or improve, rediscovering the value of ordinary people and experiences, and exploring how greater discernment may also help us move from service towards Sacred Service.

Across cultures and civilisations, symbolic systems such as astrology, numerology, mythology and the I Ching have emerged as different ways of exploring identity, relationships, timing and meaning. Rather than examining these traditions in isolation, this article explores what they have in common, why symbolic systems have appeared so consistently throughout history, and how they continue to shape the ways we make sense of human experience.
