No joke....just finished Big Magic last week! I too felt like it was a read that I “had to be ready” for so to speak. It was so, so good.

Wait! Also just read your footnote about the origin of Virgin and I am 🤯. I used to hate being a Virgo because of the link to the idea of virginity and purity and that was such a powerful nugget to me!

Yay!!! I feel the exact same. Do you resonate with virgos connection to the hermit?

TOTALLY! It’s why I adored Big Magic as well. Leaning into my “own path” and being in a state of receptivity has been my biggest focus lately and it is HARD. So stinking hard, but it also just feels so right.

"These are cards of slow, steady work. They are cards of practice, and being ok with good while letting go of perfect."

Not a Virgo, but definitely an Enneagram Type One with perfectionist tendencies. Love that the cards line up with the sugar ants in my bathtub, which is always my signal to be patient with an outcome (and call my pest service because even though they're not harmful, I'd like to take a shower in peace?)

I have some dear ones in my life too 🩷 and so many lessons on patience from nature 😂

I am a five and that has some good Virgo/hermit vibes too.
