| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Virgo is the sixth sign of the Zodiac, which the Sun enters as the harvest begins. Represented by a Maiden holding a sheaf of grain, it is linked with decorous grace, attention to detail, and completion of tasks. In Virgo, the Angels regulate conditions, discriminate high from low, command evil spirits, and confer health. The tarot card that signifies Virgo is The Hermit.

Understanding Virgo in the Zodiacal Year
Virgo is the Mutable Earth sign, symbolizing cultivated ground. It is technically a Feminine sign, but because it is ruled by androgynous Mercury, it is vivacious, clean, and young, not hyper-feminized or sexual. Mercury and Hermes are ancient ancient Roman and ancient Greek gods of commerce and communication. Virgo is one of two signs Mercury rules, the other being Gemini.
Because of the Mercurial rulership, Virgo people are intelligent, capable, and detail oriented — but because Virgo is the Virgin, are also said to have a somewhat reserved emotionality, and to insist upon proper procedural protocol. Their worst flaw may be a form of hyper-fastidiousness, which is the result of their extreme desire for cleanliness and order.
If You Are a Virgo
If you were born between August 23 and September 23, Virgo is your sign. You have a calm, inquiring, and orderly mind. You could succeed as a lawyer, office manager, accountant, chemist, or janitor. Your love of honesty causes friends to have great confidence and trust in you, and you expect their respect and trust in return.
You can adapt yourself to almost any kind of environment and gain financial success by careful attention to details. Overcome worries and you will rise much faster in your chosen field. Most of your health problems can be solved by carefully regulating your diet and hygiene. Find partners at work or in love in the signs Taurus and Capricorn. Your most fortunate day is Wednesday.
The Virgo People in Your Life
These people, like the Virgin, are pure in mind, refined, modest, courteous and abhor anything vulgar. They are exceptionally neat and careful with their wearing apparel. Being critical but not aggressive, they lose opportunities to advance in business and marriage by looking too long before they leap. They are proud, fastidious, and dogmatic, admire dignity and intellect, and seldom regard anyone as being their superior. They have fine reasoning abilities and are often loved and admired, yet they find it difficult to show affection on account of their discriminating natures; they are prone to see the defects in others rather than their virtues.
