crimsoncurrentWestern Tropical Interpretations: 21 Virgo
Sabian Symbol for 21 Virgo: "A Girls' Basketball Team"
The Sabian symbol for 21 Virgo, as channeled by Elsie Wheeler in 1925 with Marc Edmund Jones and later refined by Dane Rudhyar, is "A girls’ basketball team." This image captures Virgo’s themes of precision, teamwork, and service, with a focus on coordinated effort and physical discipline.
Dane Rudhyar’s Interpretation (An Astrological Mandala, 1973):
Teamwork and Discipline: Rudhyar describes this as "The need for physical activity and teamwork in developing group consciousness." The girls’ basketball team symbolizes a collective effort where individuals work together with precision and skill, reflecting Virgo’s attention to detail and service-oriented nature.
Feminine Energy in Action: The focus on girls highlights Virgo’s association with the feminine archetype (often linked to the Virgin goddess), emphasizing nurturing through action and discipline. This degree suggests channeling Virgo’s analytical energy into physical or cooperative endeavors.
Social Integration: Rudhyar notes that 21 Virgo involves integrating individual skills into a group dynamic, fostering a sense of unity and purpose, which aligns with Virgo’s desire to improve and serve the collective.
Keynote: “The development of group consciousness through disciplined, cooperative activity,” indicating that 21 Virgo is about using Virgo’s meticulous nature to achieve harmony and effectiveness in a team setting.
In a natal chart, 21 Virgo might indicate someone who excels in teamwork, using their analytical skills to contribute to a group effort, often in a nurturing or service-oriented way. In transit, it could mark a period of focusing on collaboration, physical discipline, or improving collective dynamics through detailed effort.
Marc Edmund Jones’ Interpretation (The Sabian Symbols in Astrology, 1953):
Coordinated Effort: Jones sees this as “a capacity for bringing people together in a common effort.” In Virgo, this reflects the sign’s ability to organize and refine group activities, ensuring everyone works toward a shared goal with precision.
Positive and Negative Traits: The positive trait is “a gift for inspiring teamwork,” pointing to Virgo’s practical leadership. The negative is “a tendency to over-organize or become overly critical,” warning against Virgo’s perfectionism stifling the group’s spontaneity.
Physical Expression: Jones highlights the physical nature of basketball, suggesting that 21 Virgo often involves channeling mental energy into tangible, disciplined action, balancing Virgo’s cerebral tendencies.
Jones’ take might suggest a person or situation at 21 Virgo where teamwork and discipline lead to success, but there’s a need to avoid micromanaging or excessive criticism.
Linda Hill’s Interpretation (The Sabian Oracle, 1995):
Collaborative Success: Hill emphasizes the team’s cooperative spirit, reflecting Virgo’s service-oriented nature. She sees this degree as a call to work together, using individual skills to achieve a collective goal, often through physical or practical means.
Empowerment Through Activity: The girls’ team suggests empowerment, where 21 Virgo might involve building confidence and camaraderie through shared effort, particularly in a nurturing or supportive context.
Challenges of Competition: Hill warns that Virgo’s critical nature might lead to overly competitive or perfectionist tendencies, potentially causing tension within the team if not balanced with encouragement.
Hill’s interpretation might indicate a focus on fostering teamwork at 21 Virgo, with an emphasis on balancing discipline with support to ensure group harmony.
Charubel’s Degree Symbol for 21 Virgo: "A Man Holding a Net, Catching Birds"
Precision and Capture: Charubel’s image of a man catching birds with a net reflects Virgo’s precision and analytical approach. The net symbolizes a methodical effort to capture fleeting opportunities or ideas (birds), aligning with Virgo’s desire to organize and refine.
Control Over Chaos: Birds often represent thoughts or inspiration, and the act of catching them suggests Virgo’s need to bring order to scattered elements, whether in the mind, work, or daily life.
Potential for Restriction: Charubel’s symbols sometimes carry a caution, and this degree might warn against being overly controlling or restrictive, as trapping birds could stifle their natural freedom, reflecting Virgo’s shadow side of over-analysis.
In a chart, this symbol at 21 Virgo might suggest someone who excels at organizing and capturing opportunities through careful planning, but who needs to ensure they don’t suppress creativity or spontaneity.
Sepharial’s Degree Symbol for 21 Virgo: "A sheaf of Wheat in a Field, Ready for Harvest"
Abundance Through Effort: Sepharial’s image of a sheaf of wheat ready for harvest reflects Virgo’s association with harvest (as the sign of late summer) and the fruits of labor. It symbolizes the culmination of hard work, where Virgo’s diligence yields tangible results.
Practical Nourishment: The wheat suggests sustenance, aligning with Virgo’s focus on service and providing for others. This degree might indicate a moment of reaping rewards through practical, grounded effort.
Spiritual Harvest: Sepharial often includes a spiritual layer, so this symbol might also suggest a spiritual or intellectual harvest, where one gathers wisdom or insights after a period of disciplined study.
This symbol at 21 Virgo might point to a person or situation marked by the rewards of hard work, often involving practical or nurturing outcomes, with a potential for deeper wisdom.
Elias Lonsdale’s Degree Symbol for 21 Virgo: "A Healer Placing Her Hands on a Patient’s Forehead"
Healing Through Precision: Lonsdale’s image of a healer reflects Virgo’s association with health and service, emphasizing the sign’s nurturing, meticulous nature. The hands on the forehead suggest a focused, intentional act of healing, possibly through energy work or holistic methods.
Empathy and Skill: This degree highlights Virgo’s ability to combine empathy with technical skill, where 21 Virgo might involve healing others through careful attention to detail, whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually.
Transformation Through Care: The healing act suggests transformation, aligning with Virgo’s desire to improve and refine, often through acts of service that benefit others.
In a chart or transit, this symbol at 21 Virgo might indicate a period of healing or service, where one uses their skills to nurture and improve the well-being of others.
John Sandbach’s Omega and Chandra Symbols for 21 Virgo
Omega Symbol: "A Woman Carefully Folding a Handmade Quilt" (Manifesting/Receptive):
Attention to Detail: The woman folding a quilt reflects Virgo’s meticulous nature, where every fold represents careful attention to detail. The quilt symbolizes a labor of love, aligning with Virgo’s service-oriented approach.
Preserving Beauty: This symbol emphasizes preserving the fruits of one’s labor, suggesting that 21 Virgo involves taking care to maintain or honor what has been created through hard work.
Manifesting/Receptive: Sandbach labels this degree as both manifesting (actively creating) and receptive (open to receiving), suggesting a balance between crafting and appreciating the results.
Chandra Symbol: "A Scientist Observing a Microscope Slide":
Analytical Focus: The scientist with a microscope reflects Virgo’s analytical, detail-oriented nature, emphasizing the pursuit of knowledge through careful observation. This symbol highlights 21 Virgo’s focus on precision and discovery.

Virgo 21. A geologist studying bands of rock in a cliff. (Omega Symbol) Interacting/Experimental
(Degree Angel: YERATEL (YEH-ra-TEL) Silent Partner, Propagation of the Light)
You see how one thing affects another, and how energy builds up in patterns. This intuitive understanding of the past can greatly help you to see where we are now and how we got here. It can also provide us was the key to how to undo or reverse that which needs to be redeemed. You sense all this and use it, though often you may have no idea quite how you do.
The Chandra Symbol for this degree is, “Dark river and distant bell.” The dark river makes it difficult to see the currents, or the way ahead. To be carried forward without being able to know where we're going could evoke fear. The bell, though, calls to us – it's sound brings hope, and a sense of destination. This degree is compelled to often “work in the dark,” but if the inner voice is faithfully attended to it will guide you into realms of increasing light and clarity.
Pleiadian Symbol: A group of acrobats inventing new routines.
Azoth Symbol: Words written for specific people of future generations.
Seed degree: Sagittarius 6. In a red desert a lush green plantation produced by irrigation. (Omega Symbol). Realizing that we have the power, always, to transcend all limitations, we are able to understanding more deeply the cycles we have been through and how to rise above their restrictions.
A pair of shoes with live wings on each. (Chandra Symbol). Allowing our understanding to fly above the limitations of the rational mind, we hear the call to higher consciousness and are able to successfully navigate all confusions.
Fulfillment degree: Gemini 15. A magician's tower looms above the surrounding landscape. (Omega Symbol). Seeing deeply and clearly into the past we come into a profound understanding of ourselves that frees us to express our creativity in its purest form.
People gathering salt from the ocean. (Chandra Symbol). Eventually our attentiveness to the ringing of the spiritual bell sets up a vibration that clears all chaos and envelops us in harmony, even in the midst of the clouding illusions.
Degree Theory Interpretation for 21 Virgo
Degree theory, per Nikola Stojanovic, assigns each degree a zodiacal influence based on its numerical correspondence. For 21 degrees, this corresponds to Sagittarius (as 21 reduces to 2+1=3, and Sagittarius is the 9th sign, but Stojanovic often maps degrees cyclically; 21 is also directly associated with Sagittarius in some interpretations). At 21 Virgo, this adds a Sagittarian flavor to Virgo’s energy:
Expansive Precision: Sagittarius’ adventurous, philosophical nature combines with Virgo’s detail-oriented approach, suggesting a quest for knowledge or improvement through exploration. Someone with a planet at 21 Virgo might seek to refine their understanding of the world through travel, study, or teaching.
Big-Picture Service: The Sagittarian influence might broaden Virgo’s focus, leading to service-oriented efforts that aim for larger impact, such as organizing global initiatives or sharing knowledge on a wide scale.
Potential for Overextension: The downside is a risk of Sagittarius’ expansiveness clashing with Virgo’s need for precision, leading to scattered efforts or neglecting details in pursuit of a broader vision.
In a chart, a planet at 21 Virgo might indicate a blend of Virgo’s meticulousness and Sagittarius’ expansiveness, such as a teacher or healer who combines precision with a global perspective.
