why we are born into our sign

I fond this and thought it was great.

...And it was morning as God stood before his twelve children and into each of them planted the seed of human life. One by one, each child stepped forward to receive the appointed gift...

"To you, Aries, I give the seed first that you might have the honor of planting it. That for every seed you plant, one million more will multiply in your hand. You will not have time to see the seed grow, for everything you plant creates more than must be planted. You will be the first to penetrate the soil of men's minds with My Idea. But it is not your job to nourish the Idea, nor to question it. Your life is action and the only action I ascribe to you is to begin making men aware of My Creation. For your good work, I give you the virtue of Self Esteem."
...Quietly, Aries stepped back into place.

"To you, Taurus, I give the power to build the seed into substance. Your job is a great one, requiring patience, for you must finish all that has been started or the seeds will be wasted to the wind. You are not to question nor change your mind in the middle nor to depend upon others for what I ask you to do. For this, I give you the gift of Strength. Use it wisely."
...And Taurus stepped back into place.

"To you, Gemini, I give the questions without answers, so that you may bring to all an understanding of what man sees around him. You will never know why men speak or listen, but in your quest for the answer, you will find my gift of Knowlege."
...And Gemini stepped back into place.

"To you, Cancer, I ascribe the task of teaching men about emotions. My Idea is for you to cause them laughter and tears so that all they see and think develops fullness from inside. For this, I give you the gift of Family, that your fullness may multiply."
...And Cancer stepped back into place.

"To you, Leo, I give the job of displaying My Creation in all its brilliance to the world. But you must be careful of pride and always remember that it is My Creation and not your own. For if you forget this, men will scorn you. There is much joy in the job I give to you, if you but do it well. For this, you are to have the gift of Honor."
...And Leo stepped back into place.

"To you, Virgo, I ask for an examination of all man has done with My Creation. You are to scrutinize his ways sharply and remind him of his errors so that, through him, My Creation may be perfected. For doing this, I give you the gift of Purity of T

"To you, Virgo, I ask for an examination of all man has done with My Creation. You are to scrutinize his ways sharply and remind him of his errors so that, through him, My Creation may be perfected. For doing this, I give you the gift of Purity of Thought."
...And Virgo stepped back into place.

"To you, Libra, I give the mission of service, that man may be mindful of his duties to others and that he may learn cooperation, as well as the ability to reflect the other side of his actions. I will put you everywhere there is discord and, for your efforts, I will give you the gift of Love."
...And Libra stepped back into place.

"To you, Scorpio, I give a very difficult task. You will have the ability to know the minds of men, but I do not permit you to speak about what you learn. Many times, you will be pained by what you see and, in your pain, will turn away from Me. You will forget that it is not I but the perversion of My Idea that is causing you pain. You will see so much of man that you will come to know him as an animal and wrestle so much with his animal instincts in yourself, that you will lose your way. But, when you finally come back to me, Scorpio, I have for you the supreme gift of Purpose."
...And Scorpio stepped back into place.

"Sagittarius, I ask that you make men laugh, for amidst their understanding of My Idea, they become bitter. Through laughter, you are to give man hope and, through hope, turn his eyes back to Me. You will touch many lives...if but for a moment...and you will know the restlessness in every life you touch. To you, Sagittarius, I give the gift of Infinite Abundance, that you may spread wide enough to reach every corner of darkness and bring it light."
...And Sagittarius stepped back into place.

"Of you, Capricorn, I ask the toil of your brow, that you might teach men to work. Your task is not an easy one, for you will feel all of man's labors upon your shoulders...but the yoke of your burdens contains the Responsibility of man, which I put in your hands."
...And Capricorn stepped back into place.

"To you, Aquarius, I give the concept of future that man might see other possibilities. You will have the pain of loneliness, for I do not allow you to personalize My Love. But, for turning man's eyes to new possibilities, I give the gift of Freedom. That is your liberty and you may continue to serve mankind whe

But, for turning man's eyes to new possibilities, I give the gift of Freedom. That is your liberty and you may continue to serve mankind wherever he needs you."
...And Aquarius stepped back into place.

"To you, Pisces, I give the most difficult task of them all. I ask you to collect all of man's sorrows and return them to Me. Your tears are to be ultimately My Tears. The sorrow you absorb is the effect of man's misunderstanding of My Idea, but you are to give him compassion that he may try again. For this, the most difficult task of them all, I give you the greatest gift of them all. You will be the only one of my twelve children to understand Me. But this gift of understanding is for you, Pisces, for when you try to spread it to man, he will not listen."
...And Pisces stepped back into place.
...Then, God said: "You each have a part of My Idea. You must not mistake that part for all of My Idea, nor may you trade parts with each other. Each one of you is perfect, but you will not know that until all twelve of you are One. Then, the whole of My Idea will be revealed to each of you."
...And the children left, determined to accomplish the job assigned to the best of their ability, that each might receive God's gift...but none fully understood the task undertaken or the promised gift and when puzzled, they returned, God said: "You each believe that the other gifts are better. Therefore, I will allow you to trade." And, for the moment, each child was elated, considering all the possibilities of the new mission.
...But God smiled as he said: "You will return to Me many times asking to be relieved of your mission and, each time, I will grant your wish. You will experience countless incarnations before you complete the original mission I have prescribed to you. I give you countless time in which to do this but, only when it is done, can you be with Me."
This finding brings a smile to my face. You find the best stuff out there virgoking, kudos to you.
thanks caj what did u like the most

I like the Virgo one but no one likes their flaws pointed out even though its a good thing so it can be fixed changing you into a better person i think Virgos lost it's place back then the Virgo sign had so much power and dignity now people down Virgos for that excellent ability that we have its a shame that we are talked about because of that power that we use to better people and our self on a daily basis.

U are right and no one appreciates it ether thats the sad thing I guess that is why there are so many introverted virgo b/c we gets so disgusted with man we stop helping or caring well at least I feel like that.

your right Virgoking a lot of Virgos do stop caring because some are afraid of getting hurt by people so they keep some things to them self i still try to offer my insight to people and if they don't take it that's on them at least i don't have to feel guilty and say y didn't i say that when i had tha chance 2 i always keep things 100 regardless.
I liked our gift the most, Purity of Thought.
I put myself out there for people and trust easily, that's how I get used.
I'm a very naive guy and it is easy to deceive me. I don't know why, but people always say sex is on their minds, 24/7.
This is not the case with me, at all.
I always thought I was weird, I'm not even sure if other Virgos are like this.
was a good read
lol maybe as the constellations story goes to, i think we may have long been this way. Many people are lame though, few in between that arent. like gold in a mine, just gotta dig around the rock.
Excellent post really loved reading all of it, its interesting because I as a virgo wrestle with caring and not caring to protect myself but more often than not I put myself out there and get burnt but hey ho that's naivety (pure thought) for ya!
