Earth Medicine is based on the Native American Medicine Wheel, which honors the Circle of Life and holds all paths as sacred. This ancient knowledge is about our connection to the earth and all her beings. The Brown Bear is the symbol for the cycle called ‘The Harvesting Time’….a time for reaping the bounty of the Earth. This cycle runs from August 22-September 21….the related sun sign is Virgo. If you have any questions about Earth Medicine pertaining to your particular birth sign, I will do my best to answer them. This is best viewed larger.

I took this when I should have been getting ready for work this morning… changing the white balance created this odd yellow effect. Looks more like a wheel of gouda than the moon… LavenderMoon~
MY ZODIAC SERIES / / /
First part in a Mucha inspired Zodiac series Another collaboration with Chiaki and Ona. Reference here / /
Libra, a zodiac sign in 3D gold look
Another in my Zodiac series. This image was created for and commissioned by Romo. Traditional / Virgo Traits Modest and shy / Meticulous and reliable / Practical and diligent / Intelligent and analytical On the dark side…. Fussy and a worrier / Overcritical and harsh / Perfectionist and conservative Virgo is the only zodiacal sign represented by a female. It is sometimes thought of as a potentially creative girl, delicately lovely; sometimes as a somewhat older woman, intelligent but rather pedantic and spinsterish. The latter impression is sometimes confirmed by the Virgoan preciseness, refinement, fastidious love of cleanliness, hygiene and good order, conventionality and aristocratic attitude of reserve. They are usually observant, shrewd, critically inclined, judicious, patient, practical supporters of the status quo, and tend toward conservatism in all departments of life. On the surface they are emotionally cold, and sometimes this goes deeper, for their habit of suppressing their natural kindness may in the end cause it to atrophy, with the result that they shrink from committing themselves to friendship, make few relationships, and those they do make they are careful to keep superficial. But the outward lack of feeling may, in some individuals born under this sign, conceal too much emotion, to which they are afraid of giving way because they do not trust others, nor do they have confidence in themselves and their judgments. This is because they are conscious of certain shortcomings in themselves of worldliness, of practicality, of sophistication and of outgoingness. So they bring the art of self concealment to a high pitch, hiding their apprehensiveness about themselves and their often considerable sympathy with other people under a mantle of matter-of-factness and undemonstrative, quiet reserve. They are still waters that run deep. Yet in their unassuming, outwardly cheerful and agreeable fashion, they can be sensible, discreet, well spoken, wise and witty, with a good understanding of other people’s problems which they can tackle with a practicality not always evident in their own personal relationships. Both sexes have considerable charm and dignity, which make some male Virgoans appear effeminate when they are not. In marriage they can be genuinely affectionate, making good spouses and parents, but their love making is a perfection of technique rather than the expression of desire, and they must be careful not to mate with a partner whose sex drive requires a passion they cannot match. They are intellectually enquiring, methodical and logical, studious and teachable. They combine mental ingenuity with the ability to produce a clear analysis of the most complicated problems. They have an excellent eye for detail but they may be so meticulous that they neglect larger issues. Also, although they are realists, they may slow down projects by being too exact. / They are practical with their hands, good technicians and have genuine inventive talents, Thoroughness, hard work and conscientiousness are their hallmarks, and they are such perfectionists that, if things go wrong, they are easily discouraged. Because of their ability to see every angle of a many-sided question, they are unhappy with abstract theorizing. Appreciating the many different points of view as they do, they find philosophical concepts difficult, and they vacillate and have no confidence in any conclusions at which they arrive. With these qualities, they are better as subordinates than leaders. Responsibility irks them and they often lack the breadth of strategic vision that a leader needs Virgoans are essentially tacticians, admirable in the attainment of limited objectives. Their self distrust is something they project on to other people and tends to make them exacting employers, though in the demands they make on those under them they temper this attitude with justice. They have potential abilities in the arts, sciences and languages. Language especially they use correctly, clearly, consciously and formally, as grammarians and etymologists rather than for literary interests, yet they are likely to have a good memory for apt quotations. Although they are well suited for careers in machine drawing, surveying and similar occupations, they are better fitted for a job in a library or office than a workshop.

This is the second image in my Zodiac series, the first being Leo’s World. So, two completed and only 10 to go!! I wanted to portray Virgo as a vulnerable, but very powerful woman. She is carrying a sword, and we do not know what she is planning do do with this. Are the lambs sacrificial, or not? In the background is the large bull, eying her intently, but she seems oblivious to him. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- / Top Ten Winner in ‘Story Telling’ in Photo Manipulations / Featured in Jen & Erics Eyes / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / Music:Emilie Autumn – I Want My Innocence Back / The others in the series are.. / I am indebted to the following people for stock images. / Lion / Woman / Bull / Lion Cubs / Lambs / Horse / Ram / Building / Table

...the sixth sign of the zodiac’...Your element: Earth / Your ruling planets: Mercury / Symbol: The Virgin / Your stone: Sapphire / Life Pursuit: To do the right thing / Vibration: Compassionate and caring / Virgo’s Secret Desire: To love and be loved in return / The Sun is in Virgo between about 23rd August and 23rd September. / More than anything else, if the Sun was in Virgo when you were born, you not only want to be useful, but you truly are. You study and learn as much as possible, and then put it all to good practical use, because you can see what needs to be done. You’re not interested in glory for yourself, you just use your common sense and make sure that the job is well done. The only drawback is that you may forget to enjoy yourself at all. From the point of view of the rest of the world, with Virgo rising, you are a godsend. Others needn’t bother about tidying up, because you’ll do it for them, but you do worry about things. If someone is ill you know just how to make them comfortable, and you probably have some vitamins on hand to raise their resistance. In later life, people would tell you how young you look for your age, if you ever had the time to listen to such nonsense… ...
