Micromanaging the Self

While there are parts of ourselves we are overly unaware of, there are also parts of ourselves where we are overly aware of. While the 8th House is the house that shows the sides of ourselves that we are overly aware of, the houses where Virgo and Scorpio rule in your natal chart shows an overly strong awareness of the self.

However, due to this strong awareness, there is often a lot of hiding and fixing with this part of yourself. Where Virgo rules in your natal chart will show where you often try to micromanage yourself. You constantly analyze yourself in this area of life, maybe overthinking and perhaps getting anxious. Where Scorpio rules in your natal chart will show where you often try to hide yourself. You constantly try to control yourself in this area of life, maybe to the point where you’ve developed a fear for yourself.

Where Virgo rules in your chart shows the strong mental control we have over ourselves while where Scorpio rules in your chart shows the strong emotional control we have over ourselves. To have an interception in Virgo/Pisces or Taurus/Scorpio will show a feeling of not having that control. Seeing where Mercury and Pluto are in your natal chart can show why you emotionally and mentally micromanage yourself.

RULINGS

I micromanage my [Virgo Ruling in the Houses] to handle my [Mercury in the Houses] well.

I hide my [Scorpio Ruling in the Houses] to control my [Pluto in the Houses] well.

  • 1st House: sense of self

  • 2nd House: security of self

  • 3rd House: mind and thoughts

  • 4th House: past and coping mechanisms

  • 5th House: creativity

  • 6th House: everyday life

  • 7th House: relationships

  • 8th House: intimate relationships and secret self

  • 9th House: beliefs

  • 10th House: reputation

  • 11th House: friendships

  • 12th House: subconscious

Example: Virgo in the 1st, Mercury in the 5th. I micromanage my sense of self to handle my creativity well.

It’s noted that both Virgo and Scorpio ruling our houses show where a person might micromanage parts of themselves due to being overly aware of it. The sign in the middle, Libra, is known to be the sign of balance. This is the sign of socializing, balance, justice, and peace. Where Libra rules in our natal charts shows the area of life where we seek for peace, and can serve as a balance for the overly managing sides of ourselves. We can either manage this balance within ourselves or find this balance through communicating with others, for Libra is an air sign.

If you have an interception in Aries/Libra, you can struggle to find a sense of balance in your life.
