"A swimming race" 19 Virgo
Emotional currents.
Inspiration: Slipping into a swift current is sure to bring moments of being all alone and helpless.
Today: The flow of feeling like a rapid current goes. twisting now down and under, now surge and spray on the top.
Consider yourself a swimmer navigating current and undertow. You can choose the rapid changes and thereby come up for a breath or two, or you can feel the victim, pulled under, weakness exposed.
The trick is to keep your head up, without resisting the current. Touch what arises in feelings and emotion, release to the river and breathe again.
It is said the mystics feel this way when immersed in the river of prayer.

Dr. Marc Edmund Jones provides the official meaning of this Sabian symbol in his work, The Sabian Symbols in Astrology:
Virgo 19° A Swimming Race
This is a symbol of the utter impartiality of existence in any larger dimension, and of the stimulus of direct competition whenever an individual seeks to perfect or enjoy some one of the special skills comprising his individuality. He discovers that it is necessary to control every separate factor of his being, or else be ruled by the divergencies which make them up apart from their function within himself. Life superficially remains in unstable balance, and survival is in the terms of that effectiveness or excellency which is best able to prove itself.
The Keyword is ELIMINATION.
When positive, the degree is man’s capacity for any extreme of self-pointedness he may find valuable in a given case, and when negative, inadequate self-dramatization.
Concentration v Look around and see the bigger picture..smell the coffee do NOT over think and get LOST in your own world.tOO busy..over work, workaholic, selfish or at least self absorbed by Greg Young

Virgo 19: A SWIMMING RACE
You may find yourself in competition over emotional issues or working your way through shared emotions and hoping to win, or to come out on top. It is through training and practice and the controlled use of your emotions that success can be achieved. It is this experience that you must call on now. Work hard at achieving the win for rewards in the larger picture (club, school, country) or for winning the race leaving purely personal gains behind may be the answer.
Have you determined your outcomes? Have you got goals in mind? Are you competing in the race? Do you feel like you’re on the sidelines? Are you feeling the heat of competition? Are you sticking to your ‘lane’? Do you sense that others are ‘competing’ with you, even though you just want to get on with your own race? Are you tired from having to push yourself? Do you, perhaps, need more physical, emotional or spiritual training?
Looking sideways to see how others are coping with the strain of competition. Competing with one’s emotions. Wanting to be first at everything.
The Caution: Allowing the competitive spirit to dominate emotional sensitivity. Always going for “the win”.
