And you came to my rescue..

Virgo - Holy Herbalist 

Virgo is the winged angel of the mineral world. She activates medicinal and healing properties as nature passes through her hands. The Virgo hands are coated in a divine brush. They are capable of soothing someone’s distress with a gentle touch, they can dress your physical and emotional wounds with delicacy and finesse, they can restore wellbeing with their powers of mind and supportive direction, they can ease the suffering of your body through simple but discerning comfort measures. The Virgo mind buzzes like a honey bee and nervous energy is filtered throughout the body. It creates a sort of vibration in the hands that magnetises primordial natural therapies and healing herbs. 

Curative energies lain dormant for centuries become awakened with the Virgo touch, like the witch’s touch, the traveling medicine woman’s touch, the ancient pharmacist’s touch, each of these forces meet and release through Virgo. Because they are the sign that connects body with soul, Virgo re-connects the body of human with the soul of earth. The connection is made through her brilliant mind. She has the ability to stop the mind contaminating spirit and becoming physical illness. She feels in her gut when her anxiety is being mismanaged or she is eating poorly, she is forced to feel psychological distress as a physical symptom. She can restrict her food intake, lose or increase appetite, or have unusual food cravings all stemming from her state of mind. She can feel unreasonably nauseas the morning of an exam or before a big event, she can feel sick when she is worried about things she hasn’t even acknowledged yet. It’s from this personal experience that she understands how powerfully and convincingly the mind thrusts its own pain elsewhere to save itself. She comes to acknowledge that all healing undertaken eventually circles back to her mind. This is the place where everything began as she recognises that purity of thought is necessary for purity of body and soul. Mercury the great communicator is the ruler of Virgo, so she can learn the unique ways her body speaks to her. Because Virgo rules the 6th house it means that her experiences, knowledge, and capacities are not solely for her, but cultivated for her role in cosmic service. The mineral wisdom and highly vibrating earthly current that runs through her body and eventually culminates in the hands is made to be shared. She is still the ancient pharmacist who was once known as the sorcerer. She is still tendering her tonic in secret ceremonial offerings, like she has been for centuries, revealing remedies of the medicine gods and rituals primed by her ancestors.
