What can you tap into to increase personal power in your life?
The energy of improvement and service. When we delve into anything Virgo, particularly Pluto, we often confront feelings of inadequacy. You might feel that you're not doing things well enough or efficiently enough, leading to feelings of unworthiness. However, Virgo's true aim is to improve and genuinely be of service. This impulse shouldn't lead to feelings of inadequacy but to a mindset of always striving to be a little better and more helpful. Recognize that you are not inherently unworthy; instead, you have the power to make meaningful improvements in your life and others'.
Your recipe for subconscious healing?
Recognize where you could have acted differently and learn from it without self-reproach. For example, if you realize that more integrity could have led to a better project outcome, or a different approach could have made your efforts more helpful to others, that's valuable insight. Separate the idea of personal unworthiness from the reality of actions that could be improved upon. True power comes from knowing you could have done something differently and being okay with that because you didn't have the knowledge you have now. This placement can be incredibly powerful as long as you don't dwell on past mistakes and feel guilty. Aim to do your best, not to be perfect. The goal is to make a difference and to matter.
The shadow side of this energy?
Being constantly down on yourself doesn't make you more helpful or efficient. It doesn't inspire change in yourself or others. You might feel guilty about past mistakes or get trapped in feelings of failure and self-doubt. Avoid letting these feelings stop you from moving forward and gathering feedback. Remember, you're aiming for competence, not perfection. Practicing is key, and you must avoid feelings of shame, guilt, and self-sabotage. View your experiences as data that can help you make better decisions in the future. This will help you reach a state of high competence and become nearly unstoppable in the Pluto energy.
