These little tidbits of information regarding your sign can help you understand some of the ways you act and react to situations. For those reading about someone else’s sign, these bullet statements can help with everything from choosing an appropriate gift to seeing if they’ll fit |
| in with the mix at a social gathering or employment setting. |
| Glyph description and meaning: The glyph for Virgo is also an ancient symbol for the virgin state. It is considered to be a pictograph of the closed reproductive organs…pure and |
|
| untouched. The more ancient symbology for this glyph is that by being a straight line connected to one plain curved line and a curved line that is crossed, practicality, wisdom, feeling and emotion are evidenced and all meanings associated with this glyph remind us that more goes on beneath the surface of the Virgo than we ever see. Ruling Planet: Virgos are ruled by the planet Mercury. Mercury is a strong planet having its main effect in the realms of communication. Business matters are also associated with this Planet. The strongest alliance Virgos often feel with their plant is the intellect and reason it carries. However, Mercury also carries a warning of the high-strung personality. Placement and Symbology of placement in the Zodiac: Virgo is the 6th sign of the Zodiac and takes us to the halfway point through the celestial chart wheel. Virgo strives for balance and industry. Virgo brings the energy of the first five signs and coalescences them into a combined strong foundation for the second part of the Zodiac. With Virgo we have seen the entire Zodiac (remember we’ve already talked about the opposite signs for each of the first five, and here, number six). Now, knowing what is before us forward movement can be ascertained. Duality: Duality in Western Astrology is much like Yin/Yang energy in the Eastern Tradition. The idea of opposites is rooted in the Pythagorean School of Ancient Greece. Virgo as the Virgin is the ultimate sign of feminine energy and power. Directly related to the Goddesses and the purity of the untouched feminine sexual energy, Virgo is the essence of receptive feminine energy. Polarity: This is the sign that is opposite the Zodiac Wheel from Pisces (the last sign in Western Astrology). Pisces is considered to be a sign with traits that tend toward illusion and self-deception. Virgo represents work and self- improvement. Where the Virgo will innocently dig until she finds her answer, Pisces would prefer to sit in escapism. Cardinal/Mutable/Fixed: A Sign is either Cardinal, Mutable or Fixed. As the very name of Virgin implies, only Mutable energy can be assigned here. The Virgin is the ultimate symbol of innocence and potential change. The Virgin can change her state should she choose, but she prefers to remain chaste, waiting for the right masculine balance to create the appropriate balance for he and her. Dominant Keywords: I Analyze. You are the ultimate thinker, sometimes falling prey to the “thinking things to death” mentality. You analyze everything. This allows you to see much that others miss, but because you forget most don’t see all that you do, you are sometimes accused of being a busy-body when all you are truly trying to do is help. Most Likeable Trait: Conscientiousness. Period. The act of being Conscientious. Taking care of business, doing what you say, keeping your promises, always being mindful of those about you and considering their feelings. Also, Virgos are great in a quiet leadership position. Lucky Day: Virgos would do well to schedule that important presentation on a Wednesday if given a choice. This association also allows Virgos a little extra energy in the middle of the week. Danger: Although you are only trying to help, and even trying to do it gently, sometimes your help isn’t appreciated. There are times when it is best to let folks learn some lessons on their own. Not everyone has the depth of emotional connection within that you do. Remember to look twice before jumping in – even if you have been asked. Cities and Countries: The following cities and countries are associated with the sign of Virgo and could be great destinations for happy world travelers with associations to countries like Turkey, Greece, Crete and the West Indies. For cities, a Virgo would get a lot of renewing energy from time spent in Paris, Boston, Strasbourg or Heidelberg. Element: Virgos are aligned with the element of earth. If you’re a Virgo and feeling a little disconnected, take off your shoes and walk barefoot in the garden or yard. Earth is solid, earth is stabilizing, earth is strong. Earth energy can also be overpowering and brash when not tempered with just thought. Metal: Mercury is the metal aligned with Virgo. Its fluid essence says much about the feminine receptive energy. Mercury as a planet (and a metal) aligns with intelligence and reason. Beware the tendency to become “high strung” because others don’t see what you do. |

Magical Birthstone: Virgo’s magical birthstone is the Sapphire. Long thought to be protective to its wearer, sapphire also carries the energy that can bring tranquil thoughts. Virgos going through a difficult time would do well to wear sapphires to help keep their mind clear. |

Sign Name: Virgo, the Virgin |
Sign Glyph: |
| Stones of Power: Peridot, amazonite, and rhodochorosite are all stones that Virgos would do well to have around to help keep them grounded. As residents of the sign of self- improvement and work, Virgos would do well to connect with these stones. Special Color: Virgos soft emotions are best displayed in shades of navy blue and grey. If you have a business meeting, wearing blue and grey will help to keep you at your best. Although the primary blue association is Navy blue, Virgos may be called to other shades of blue as well. Considered colors of restraint and refinement, blue and grey are Virgo’s special colors. Flowers: The Morning Glory blooms each morning and as the sun passes it by through the day it will close its lovely blossom at night to protect the delicate reproductive parts of the blossom. Taking care of itself the morning glory vine, once it takes hold is a tenacious and fast grower. Shakespeare had Ophelia say “Pansies are for thoughts,” reflecting the Elizabethan allegory of pansies with their “faces” to remind us of thoughts for others. These two plants are directly tied to Virgo. Trees: The fecundity of the sign is shown by its alliance with the nut bearing trees. From these trees come sustenance. Nuts have long been representative and emblematic of unopened ideas. The unexplored potential hidden in the hard shell holds much promise for the squirrel. Animals: The animals that Virgo has claimed as her own are the small domestic pets. Virgos are sure to have some pet living with them if their circumstances allow. Cats, dogs, gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, iguanas, fish or mice, there’s sure to be small creatures Virgo is loving and caring for. Myths and Legends The power of the Virgin was recognized in ancient times as the power of potential untapped. The virgin was emblematic of the power of innocence unsullied. The myths of Demeter, Astraea, and Hygeia may help to understand the honored place of the Virgin. Famous People: Virgos aren’t normally shrinking violets although they do tend to keep their innermost thoughts and plans to themselves. Here’s a sampling of prominent Virgo personalities – the wide range of their careers says much about Virgo creativity. |
