The Two Energies
Virgo Sun

Drive: To be useful, to get it right, to serve something worthy of their exacting gifts — and underneath all of that, to believe they are enough exactly as they are.

Challenge: Self-compassion, releasing perfectionism, and receiving love without immediately deflecting it back into service.
