That the ‘Cross’ is ‘Standing Alone’ depicts a sense of desertion,
perhaps of one’s faith or life circumstances. This can bring a sense
of isolation. The idea, or belief, that suffering and giving up one’s
personal desires as a means to salvation has special significance
for many people.
WATCH OUT FOR …negative inculcated beliefs that cause you
now to believe only what can be proved. …self-justifying piety and
being opinionated for this ultimately repels rather than attracts what
you need. …mistakenly making suffering a way of God rather than
seeing it just a way to God.

Virgo 2: A large white cross upraised
Higher standards...
The cross of Virgo 2 implies several themes: a standard set up for all to meet; a choice; a rigidity of values; a focal point; a parting of the ways; a crucial judgment; an elevation of energies; an elevation of core ethics/morals... ways of carrying oneself individually and socially.
Virgo individuals can set lean hard toward perfection. When directed to others, this Virgo trait can be BITTER, PICKY, JUDGEMENTAL. The Sabian symbol, "A large white cross upraised" echoes chilling standards set by moral vigilantes in the American south. This theme can be found in the Gemini and Sagittarius 2nd degree symbols as well.
But for practical application , look to the cross roads choice of setting a higher inner standard for one's self, or setting critical standards for others. The attendant disposition may be 'cross', or just highly focussed ( Pisces 2, "A squirrel hiding from hunters" suggests trying to avoid the cross-hairs of a hunter's rifle).
In terms of character formation, the focus clearly is on raising the bar on one's personal journey. In general, a rigid stance militates against all growth and positive development, while quickness and inner focus intensify positive refinements.

A person who is hanging upside down from a tree. This individual is detached from their personal ego-mind and aligned with greater universal laws. They observe events without personal bias, acting as a fair witness. Their purpose is to hold and convey truth, unaffected by corruption or distortion. They keenly perceive goodness and truth, appreciating how divine will manifests in the world. Essentially, they embody transparency and idealism.

TITLE: STAYING WITH SOMETHING LONG ENOUGH TO YIELD RESULTS
Omega Symbol: A table on which many healings have been performed.
You work at building up energy gradually, often by doing something over and over. This can be nearly magical in nature, in that you can refine your ability to do whatever you are dong, as well as acquire greater subtlety in doing it. You have an instinctive way of being able to make the right kind of space for whatever you’re going to do, and this can insure success.
Pleiadian Symbol: In a sacred cave a lingam of ice.
Power manifesting with clarity and calmness. The slow and steady accumulation of certainty and creative potency, which has its roots in the receptivity and focus of the Omega Symbol.
Chandra Symbol: A man hanging upside down from a tree.
Just as the table of the Omega Symbol is WAITING for the next patient, the man of this symbol is WAITING for the RIGHT TIME to ACT. The tree symbolizes knowledge, and the man of the symbol is dedicated to it. His feet, which signify understanding, are raised to heaven while his head – his mental/intellectual part – is nearest to the earth, meaning devoted to the affairs of practical existence.
This degree knows and sees to a great extent how the spiritual light is working in the world, its insights and perceptions may not be heard by others. The truth of this degree is that if enough positive energy is built up, the tide will eventually turn, though to do this sometimes great patience, focus, and waiting are required. - Greg-Pluto
Azoth Symbol: Children tasting many different kinds of fruit which they are picking off trees.
An innocent assimilation of the pure essence of nature. Approaching experience in a spontaneous, unprepared manner that is fun, exciting, and which tends to leave behind all biases and preconceived notions. You encourage others to fulfill their needs directly and innocently as you do so yourself, and to partake of the beauty that the world has to offer.
Seed Degree: Aries – 18
Sitting in the Lotus posture, a monk’s body is incorruptible. (Omega Symbol). The ability to focus faithfully on the inner silence slowly and inevitably creates a vortex of healing energy.
A jellyfish. (Chandra Symbol). To be soft and transparent allows us to patiently wait until we perceive the connection between consciousness and matter.
Fulfillment Degree: Scorpio – 13
An acupuncturist who activates points simply by holding a needle over them. (Omega Symbol). When we have refined and perfected our preparations for anything we are often surprised by the ease with which they are eventually carried out.
Someone tells a joke and no one laughs. (Chandra Symbol). Focusing more and more on self-understanding, we let go of the need for the approval of other people.
Omega Oracle
I, the healing table, belong to an illustrious community of locations where humans lay prone. We consist mainly of beds, coffins, and autopsy tables, and of course, my breed, where people come to be healed.
Prone, the body naturally re-establishes its earthly nature as it lays there upon me, sometimes beneath the sky, or most often beneath its surrogate – a ceiling. I am always surprised that I can support such weight and such vastness – whole worlds, mostly forgotten, and immeasurable continents of dreams, with their dense forests of images, and seas where creatures appear spontaneously in the depths as others continually mutate, while, in the atmosphere of these worlds, currents of desires and herds of unformed thoughts flow in the air like gigantic rivers, creating weather.
And though I am only a table I am porous enough to receive the residues of all these dreams and memories, and when needed to recall what is stored in me to assist the healer.
