So, a Virgo, a Libra, and a Leo all live together in one house...

I always feel the most comfortable at home when the house is in Virgo order.  I haven't cared in the past few years about the order of the house, because I wasn't flowing with life.  But, since moving into Chez Sean, my OCD Virgo living tendencies have come out of the woodwork in full swing.  I really believe that in understanding our personalities and other people's personalities formed by nature and nurture and communicating our needs, we can have better relationships with our partners and our roommates.

So, back to this notion of the house being in Virgo order...

That means that every speck of dirt that I see is either wiped clean or scolded for existing.  Couldn't that dirt have manifested outside?  I need to find the deities for cleanliness.  The laundry is done and soon to be put away.  It might be a little wrinkled, and I might be sitting on it while writing this blog, but it will still be perfect, because I did it.  The bed will be made just as soon as I hit publish.  The dishes from the two-course meal served to nine folks at the full Moon ritual last night are mostly finished and put away.  It only took three loads in the dishwasher and countless scrubbing.  The counter is spotless, and if anyone puts another glass on the sink (instead of in the dishwasher) within 10 minutes of my walking away, they will get a sigh and a dirty look as I put it in it's proper place.  This is Virgo order.  Everything is clean and everything has a place that it currently resides in.  There is perfection.  Total order.

But, that's not the nature of the Libran.  The house is in order for Libra when it is full of merry faces, each one of them sharing a wonderful plated meal.  Everyone has a drink in hand.  Conversation is jolly, and everyone is having a grand time. 

Then, there is our Leo roommate.  I was talking about Virgo and Libra house order, and we talked about what Leo order of the house would be.  She said that that house was in Leo order when she was in a velvet track suit and everyone was waiting on her hand and foot.  Yes, this is true to Leo form.

Being on the cusp of Leo, I am very social, so I love when the house is in Libran order. Our friends are happy and smiling when they are with us.  What helps me the most is that everyone in the house allows me to be OCD Virgo when I want to be. And, I do not expect the entire house to be OCD Virgo with me.  I was born with these tendencies, and as long as I use them in a productive way instead of a way that demeans and belittles people for not living up to my standards of perfection.  Don't worry, the Virgo is always the most critical about his/herself.

The point here being that our personal tendencies in our living situation can be highly influenced by our astrological signs.  This as well as by how we were nurtured, the way we developed, and our environment growing up.  Understanding how the energy of the planets affect us individually helps us understand why we act and react the way we do in various situations.  This can help us overcome problems that might stop us from having deeper relationships.
