I think so too.
Astrologically, Eight of Shields is known as the Sun in Virgo. The color of this Virgoan energy is gray.
Gray = maturity, dignity, modesty, conservative, practical, secure and reliable.
Color gray = churning thoughts and honest deliberation of wisdom depth and experience. We often associate old age and gray hair with the state of being wsie. Wisdom resides in the right hemisphere of the brain which is responsible for creativity, music and spirituality.
Gray lacks warmth, giving it a very solemn and gloomy look, but it's actually a very neutral color It has often been called the color of the Sage a person who is a mentor in spiritual topics and is characterized by profound wisdom.
White = confidence and knowledge, a sense of purpose
Wayland's work is consciousness emerging from confusion.
If you want a job done well call on someone you know that's like Wayland. They are the perfectionists of the world. People like Wayland have a consuming desire for perfection, especially with regard to their work. Attention to minute details can degenerate into hairsplitting and .. wanting everything in its proper place, easily fray Wayland's nerves. He is prone to hypochondria but generally lives a long and healthy life because he pampers himself. He regards his body as an instrument to be maintained in the best possible condition, and he expects it to give him faithful service in return.So, we can tell by looking at his meticulously clean working space, he can be easily and frequently frustrated in tidying up his small corner of the universe. Yet he toils until gradually, the results of his labors become evident. He does such beautiful work!
People like Wayland inspire us, we're amazed at their patience, their strength and will as well as their determination and their ability to work something to its perfect end. Wayland reminds us to strive being the best we can be and know that somewhere there's a dimension far greater and more beautiful than we've ever seen.
Reversed
The downside of the color gray would be along the lines of: indecision, confusion, feeling lost, uncertain, exhausted, lonely, empty.... this is because his standards are too high and life never seems to please him ... even the people he loves. Instead of loving of what he has, Wayland has a hard time enjoying life as-it-is now .. because he's always striving to perfect everything.
Virgo rules both work and health and both of these are intimately connected to their physical and mental well being. That's why it's important for people like Wayland to find their niche in life. If his job isn't something he enjoys, he will be at odds with himself and will suffer in body and mind. He needs a job where his critical attention to detail can be put to practical use and his reliability appreciated. Then watch him smile!
