Take Exam (Pay Later)Aries to Virgo: The Personal Journey
The Essence
The first six signs represent the development of the 'Self'. From the birth cry of Aries to the self-analysis of Virgo, this arc is about building a strong, functional Ego. You cannot transcend the self until you have built a healthy one.
Classical Verse
"Mesha (Aries): The Ram. Vrishabha (Taurus): The Bull. Mithuna (Gemini): The Twins. Karka (Cancer): The Crab. Simha (Leo): The Lion. Kanya (Virgo): The Virgin."
Modern Translation
1. Aries (Mars/Fire): The spark of life. Initiative, courage, head-first action. 2. Taurus (Venus/Earth): Sustaining the spark. Resources, food, family, stability. 3. Gemini (Mercury/Air): Exploring the environment. Communication, curiosity, hands. 4. Cancer (Moon/Water): Establishing a home. Emotion, mother, security, heart. 5. Leo (Sun/Fire): Expressing the self. Creativity, royalty, children, ego. 6. Virgo (Mercury/Earth): Perfecting the self. Service, details, health, digestion.
Practical Insight
The 'Gandanta' Danger. The transition from Water to Fire (Cancer to Leo) is a Gandanta point—a 'karmic knot'. Planets placed in the last degrees of Cancer or the first degrees of Leo struggle immensely because the emotional security of the water is boiling away into the fire of individual destiny. The remedy involves worship of Ganesha to untie the knot.
