The profound impact of Virgo men
& a guide to the season ahead.
Two of the most important men in my life are Virgos — my dad and my teacher Richard Rudd. So naturally I felt called to sharing my insights about my favourite sign (jk, we all know it’s Libra).
Here’s the thing — I didn’t always love this sign. I found Virgos to be rigid and linear in their thinking, lack the ability to trust the magic of the unknown, and over give to a point of burnout and bitterness. It wasn’t until I started doing shadow work that I shifted my perspective on this extraordinary sign.
Virgos are hardworking, funny, service oriented, caring, some of the smartest people you’ll ever meet. This sign has (re)defined my definition of love, unlocked my ability to push the limits of my greatness and taught me what true safety looks and feels like.
The mere presence of a Virgo is a blessing.

There’re so many layers to astrology that we cannot limit ourselves to just our sun sign. We are not one singular thing. We all have Virgo in our chart, even if we don’t have any planet placements in it. So, stay curious, hold this lightly, take whatever resonates.
If you would like to learn more about this zodiac sign, join me at my upcoming community call on Sunday, September 6th. I’ll dive into the archetype of Virgo, how to work with the energy of this season and how it might impact you personally.
Happy Virgo Season,

p.s. to harness the gifts of Virgo, find magic in the mundane — listen to music while washing dishes, savour your morning coffee, hold eye contact just a second longer.
