EXHIBIT 6
                OPINION AND CONSENT OF BRUCE E. BOOKER, ACTUARY

March 12, 1998



The Life Insurance Company of Virginia
6610 West Broad Street
Richmond, Virginia  23230

Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished in connection with the registration by The Life
Insurance Company of Virginia of a flexible premium variable life insurance
policy ("Policies") under the Securities Act of 1933. The prospectus included in
Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement No. 333-41031 on Form
S-6 describes the Policy. I have provided actuarial advice concerning the
preparation of the Registration Statement and the preparation of the Policy form
described in the Registration Statement and Exhibits thereto.

In my professional opinion, the illustration of death benefits and account
values included in the Appendix of the prospectus, based on the assumptions
stated in the illustrations, are consistent with the provisions of the Policy.
The rate structure of the Policy has not been designed so as to make the
relationship between premiums and benefits, as shown in the illustrations,
appear more favorable to a prospective purchaser of a Policy than at ages or
classes not shown, or for female.

Additionally, the prospectus information contained in the examples of the death
benefit options, based on the assumptions stated in those examples, are
consistent with the provisions of the policy.

I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to my name under the heading "Experts" in the
prospectus.

Sincerely,



Bruce E. Booker, FSA, MAAA
Vice President & Actuary
