 Having
Virgo as your star sign means that the
Sun in the zodiac was placed in Virgo,
an earth sign, on your birthday. The Sun
in astrology stands for your inner nature,
the mark of your true character. Virgo,
the sixth sign of the zodiac, is a feminine
sign ruled by the magical trickster Mercury,
the messenger of the gods. A mutable (fluid
and changeable) sign, Virgo governs critical
analysis, intellectual subtlety and service.
Virgo people are practical and industrious,
yet adaptable, with a remarkable eye for
detail.
The emblem of Virgo, a virgin holding
sheaves of wheat in her hands, symbolises
wisdom, garnered in the fields of experience.
Like the true virgin, most Virgos are
shy and, like a virgin waiting to give
herself to the perfect lover, Virgo is
also idealistic.
Disappointment, however, can harden you
into a cynic and a skeptic. Virgo consequently
becomes quite critical with self as well
as circumstances, due to the effect of
such disappointments on a sensitive and
discriminating nature.
The planet Mercury, governing our intellect
and communicative faculties, rules Virgo,
where tradition also places the house
of its exaltation, so Virgins have a truly
intellectual, critical and analytical
approach to life. Communication is important
and you love books, magazines, and writing.
A critical eye for detail, combined with
your ceaseless pursuit of perfection,
endows you with an irresistible urge to
improve everything and everyone (whether
they need it or not!).
Service-oriented Virgo seeks to improve
the environment, by pursuing careers in
health-related fields, or in other structured
areas such as teaching, labour relations,
or counselling. Intensely personal situations
can be somewhat inhibiting, but other
circumstances can produce a very dynamic
Virgo indeed. Hmmm.
Although you often have altruistic motives
in helping others, you do have a teensy
tendency to act the martyr when your offerings
are ignored. It is not unheard of for
you to use guilt as a weapon. Helping
others to improve is one thing, my dears,
but pushing them toward goals of perfection
they cannot hope to accomplish is quite
destructive, as well as impossible.
Health conscious Virgo makes an effort
to stay physically fit and you don't mind
repetitive exercise routines, if you can
see achievable outcomes. You enjoy tennis,
racquetball, swimming, sailing, fishing,
and biking, even though athletically you
are not overly competitive. It's just
that you always seek to perfect whatever
skills you may have, primarily for the
sake of doing a thing well. Talented in
various crafts, dressmaking and designing,
you may also take a particular interest
in such things as cartography, travel,
and philately.
Virgo rules the the sinuses, respiratory
system, and bowels. Colds, flu, allergies,
problems with intestines and constipation
are common Virgo complaints. You are also
subject to black moods and despondency
from time to time, which can adversely
affect others in your vicinity.
Your colours are blue,
yellow, grey, tan, navy, and lilac and
your birthstone is the sapphire, a variety
of corundum. This gem was considered by
ancient societies to be a love charm.
Though they come in a variety of colours
and can even be transparent, the most
valuable sapphires are blue. Blue is also
the principal colour associated with Virgo.
Flowers and plants for Virgo include the
aster, chrysanthemum, ivy, and fern.
