Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, trying to figure out my whole birth chart deal. I’m an Aries Sun, which I kinda already knew – I’m pretty fiery and impulsive, always jumping into new things. But then I found out I’m a Virgo Rising, and that’s where things got interesting. It felt like two parts of me were constantly battling it out.
The Aries in Me
First, I started by really examining my Aries traits. I made a list of all the times I acted like a “typical” Aries:
- That time I impulsively signed up for a marathon with zero training.
- The countless unfinished projects scattered around my apartment.
- My tendency to blurt out whatever’s on my mind, even if it’s a little… blunt.
- Get angry easily, and calm down easily.
Yeah, it was a pretty long list. I’m definitely a “leap before you look” kind of person. I get these bursts of energy and excitement, and I just have to do something, anything.
Discovering the Virgo Rising
Then, I dug into this Virgo Rising thing. I read a bunch of articles and watched some videos, and it described this meticulous, analytical, detail-oriented energy. I was like, “Wait, that’s… kinda me too?” I do love a good spreadsheet. And I can get super focused on perfecting tiny details, especially when I’m really into a project.I always have obssessive-compulsive disorder and have to arrange things neatly.
The Internal Struggle
This is where it got tricky. I realized I was constantly swinging between these two extremes. One minute, I’d be all fired up and ready to conquer the world, and the next, I’d be obsessing over the font size on a presentation or rewriting an email ten times to make sure it was perfect. I also have a bad temper, but I always like to reflect on myself.
Finding the Balance(My Personal Experience)
So, I decided to get practical about it. I started experimenting with ways to blend these energies, instead of letting them fight each other. This is a personal experiment, after all!
I try very hard to control my temper and try to think before I act, but I don’t deliberately suppress my temper. When I am angry, I will still vent out, but I have to vent my emotions on some safe things, such as by hitting the pillow or shouting in an open place, rather than hurting other people or myself.
- I started using to-do lists and timers to channel my Aries energy into productive bursts. I’d give myself a set amount of time to work on something, then move on, even if it wasn’t “perfect.”
- I began to embrace my Virgo side’s love of planning, but with a twist. Instead of getting bogged down in details, I focused on creating flexible plans that allowed for my Aries spontaneity.
- And the most important thing is I have to listen other’s suggestion.
It’s still a work in progress, for sure. But I’m learning to appreciate both sides of my astrological makeup. I’m a fiery, impulsive Aries with a dash of Virgo’s meticulousness. It’s a weird combo, but it’s me. And I’m slowly figuring out how to make it work. I’m still recording my experiences, and maybe it will help more people later.
