Virgo is profoundly important in the scheme of everything, but Virgo rules the 6th house, which is beneath the horizon. This means that Virgo works should be done behind the scenes - before something (crosses the horizon) and becomes public.
If there is a problem with something that is already public, Virgo should try to fix it, to help (which is Virgo’s job), but this should be done behind the scenes. Let me tell you, I learned this the hard way.
About ten years ago I upgraded my astrology software. I was upgrading from DOS to a Windows version of the same program, so this was a while ago - more than ten years. I bought the upgrade and these programs were expensive. You may imagine how upset I was when I received the upgrade, installed it, and found what I maintain to this day was a screaming flaw. It was a flaw so bad I thought the whole software unusable for my purposes. It was just awful. This was my perspective.
I figured I was wholly screwed. There was nothing I could do because the software was non-returnable, or at least it was at the time. I uninstalled the thing, went back to the DOS version (which I was thrilled with), and decided the least I could do is warn others.
Back then there was really only one astrology mailing list and I used to post to it all the time, several times a day. Astrology software was routinely discussed so I thought nothing of posting to say “Whatever you do, do not buy this upgrade because it sucks!”
I went to sleep that night and boy I almost fainted when I woke in the morning to several scathing mails. The author of the software had called me “a sick and malevolent bitch.” I was stunned, because I am neither sick nor malevolent, and I immediately burst into tears.
The fact is that when I posted this negative review, I killed that guy’s business. He had been working on this upgrade and trying to make a living, and his customer base was who? It was astrologers who used computers and guess who was on this list? Virtually every customer or potential customer he had thinks I messed him up?
