I love running into words that I’ve never known before, notably ones that stand for concepts that I am familiar with, which I regularly reflect upon, and which hold significance for me.

We have at our disposal the ability to connect to the body (via earthy Virgo, the sign in which the Sun resides) and our intuition (via sensitive Pisces, the sign in which the Moon resides).
