The Sign In Depth
The Astrological Symbol of Virgo is the Virgin. Virgos reflect
the qualities of a virgin rather than the definition: they tend
to be shy and somewhat nervous, and they may be undemonstrative
or repressed. But they are practical and logical, and they're
skilled at seeing all sides of a situation. In this way, Virgo
exemplifies the Mutable Quality assigned to it. Virgos are good
business people because of their methodical attention to detail
and their ability to stick with a practical and organized
routine. Within the Zodiac, Virgo is opposite Pisces, the Sign
of the Unconscious. Both Pisces and Virgos are Signs that serve
others, but Pisces works with groups and large-scale projects,
while Virgos tend to be about smaller-scale projects and
individuals. Because of Virgo's association with individuals and
health, many Virgos are drawn to careers in medicine, especially
nursing.
Virgo is ruled by the Planet Mercury. In ancient Roman
mythology, Mercury (and his Greek equivalent, Hermes) was the
Messenger God. He was a quick, nervous type, and he was known
for his strong reasoning and analytic ability. Communication is
his province. As a planet, Mercury is androgynous; Gemini is the
masculine half and Virgo the feminine. Geminis like to know
"a little about a lot," but Virgo prefers to explore
subjects more deeply. They are very good at understanding what
people are saying beneath the surface words of their
communication. Detailed and precise, people born under Virgo
tend too be neat and exacting, but sometimes petty and overly
fussy. At the other end of the scale, some Virgos can be sloppy.
Generally, though, they are dedicated to meticulous cleanliness
and can be compulsively tidy. Many Virgos have an excellent head
for business, relying on logic rater than ego or emotion to make
their deals. They are reliable, practical, and diligent, but
they can sometimes seem picky or over-critical to people who
aren't as discriminating as they are.
The Element associated with Virgo is Earth. Earth Signs are
practical: they tend to respond to the world by examining the
worth of each possible response, rather than through physical
action, intellect, or emotion. As an Earth Sign, Virgos are more
interested in material possessions than some other Signs. They
ave selective and discriminating -- sometimes fussy -- when it
comes to their possessions. Virgos are especially adept at
understanding the process of accumulating things, rather than
simply grabbing them. The practical Virgo nature aides them in
business as well; they are studious and sensible in business
dealings, and they are skeptical off extravagant claims and
promises. Because of their responsibility and attention to
detail, people born under Virgo tend to be perfectionists. They
may worry too much about small details, and they can seem
demanding and critical. Their analytical nature and attention to
duty can seem like nitpicking or pettiness if the people around
them don't understand Virgo's desire for perfection.
Virgo rules the House of Health, and as a result people born
under this Sign tend to be very health-conscious. They are
concerned with diet and hygiene. Occasionally they may become
hypochondriacs, and their concern with perfection may cause them
to set unreasonable goals for themselves or maintain an
unhealthy body image. Generally, however, Virgo's interest in
health ensures they take good care of themselves and their
bodies.
In their leisure time, Virgos often turn their interest in
health into an exercise or fitness program. It is less important
to them that exercise be interesting, so long as it is
effective. Their perfectionism makes them strive to excel in
whatever sport they choose. In love relationships, Virgo is
devoted and sometimes jealous, but rarely flirtatious.
Virgo rules the intestines, pancreas, and gall bladder. People
born under Virgo may be more susceptible to bowel or endocrine
system upsets than people of other Signs. Since Virgo is an
Earth Sign, its colors are reminiscent of earth and rocks: tan,
grey, and yellow.
The great strength of the Virgo-born is in their attention to
detail and their desire to be of service. They pick up on the
little things that most other people miss. Their commitment to
helping others makes them one of the most giving characters of
the Zodiac.
