Virgo, your strong need to feel like your skills and talents are being used in the world, that you're making a difference, won't go away anytime soon. When you feel that you are not self-activating here, your highly analytical energy can turn on itself, manifesting as high-level self-criticism, perfectionism, and analysis paralysis.
Virgo energy is best when she has something external to focus on, outside of herself. All routines, list-making and clean house, pure expressions of the mind are manifestations of your energy that allow you to automate many things so that you can work with maximum and clarity and focus on what is important to you.
Perfectionism, analysis paralysis, and self-criticism are the shadow aspects of your sign. Chiron is currently making a long transit through Aries in your eighth house, letting you know where, how, and why these shadow aspects are rearing their heads as you create and continually develop your chosen craft. In particular, look at how you are taking or not taking action to achieve your goals. Taking action is the key to your sign's health. To improve something in the long run is a brilliant goal, it is much more important to start working on it.
Saturn has begun a three-year transit of your sixth house, natural territory for you. In tandem with a deep dive into the eighth house, Saturn will allow you to explore the basics of your relationship to your work and purpose; if there are new skills to be acquired or old ones to be perfected, you will naturally work on those now. Saturn also brings with it the beauty of practical application; how can you practically apply yourself more and more to your goals, and how can you practically use your shadows and light expressions to work for you and not against you?
