Jupiter in Virgo

Hope and inspiration are sought through a world view that we live in an orderly reality. Joy can be found in craftsmanship and detail. Growth and development is achieved when you see how all the interrelated parts are connected to make up the whole. Good service and modest displays of faith are usually present. Jupiter is in detriment in this sign and it is often difficult to embody faith if you try to digest too much information or attempt to find a clear view-point in religion, as there are so many views and nothing is clear-cut. In comparison, we are small and nobody really KNOWS the correct answer to many philosophical questions. And you tend to distrust world views that have no practical application.

You are always searching for something more tangible and tend to be discerning in what you choose to believe in. There is always an obvious struggle linking the material and spiritual world. Analyzing concepts, philosophies and different types of religion could be one expression of this planetary placement, but the fault-finding energy of Virgo may also find its way into this sphere of life. “God is in the detail” could be your slogan, expansion through mental productivity, down to earth philosophy on life and believing in “what works” all best describe this pairing.

Work needs to have a sense of purpose and personal growth. Perhaps you will find a sense of meaning in routine or personal health and hygiene which could be beneficial aspects in your life. If you do follow any type of belief it will form as part of your daily routine and part of your reality, how you see it. Belief in life is built step by step as you piece the universal puzzle together and you want to create a belief system that is useful but also holds sense of meaning and creates a better society.

The intellectual powers can be good, although both sign and planet are a difficult fit. Virgo tends to be so detailed orientated that it is made more difficult to see the overall larger pattern at work. Depending on the rest of the chart this can lead to exaggerated self-critical tendencies, the placement works best when you aim to serve something greater through practical knowledge.
