Virgo is the sixth sign of the Western zodiac. The ancient myth concerns Virgo, daughter of Jupiter and the goddess of Justice. At the end of the Golden age, when men defied her, Virgo returned to the heavens in disgust. Virgo is a Mutable, Earth, Feminine sign ruled by Mercury. Those born with the Sun in Virgo are characterized as being critical, analytical and, above-all, practical.
Mutable signs are associated with the ability to adapt to situations and the behavior of others, tending to be broad thinking and compromising. Earth signs imply practicality, reliability and personal stability. They are thorough and careful, and not given to extravagant behavior. They can be fussy and selfish at times. The Feminine association is one of receptiveness, introspection and non-assertion. Appearing weak or fearful, although appearances can be deceiving.
Interpretation of the natal chart can be thought of in terms of three major facets of the individual. How you appear to others, your innermost desires and aspirations, and what you are really like. The characteristics associated with your Sun sign, Virgo, are not absolutes and should be seen only as likely dispositions.
Active. This word will appear many times in the description of a Virgoan. Hard workers, always on the go, Virgo people mostly have an excess of nervous energy. Knowing when to stop will be a milestone in the personal development of many Virgoans. Much pleasure can be gleaned from relaxation. At best, you are discriminating, modest and tidy. Meticulous with a great sense of detail. At worst, you are straight-laced and conventional to the extreme, hypercritical and fussy. You may also tend to lack a breadth of vision and be seemingly obsessed with minute details. Virgoans have a great capacity for solving problems and to understand something, or someone, totally is of great importance. In business, the Virgoan is shrewd and logical. It is also likely that great satisfaction will be realized from service to others. Virgoans are not renowned for their ability to express themselves, especially in love. Virgo is associated with chastity for good reason. The placement of Venus in the natal chart will have much influence on your ability to express warmth and feeling.
In the area of the career, the Virgoan thrives in a secure, stable and predictable environment. At their best in supporting roles, providing stability and practical advice. You will probably thrive on routine. Organizational ability is not a prominent feature of the personality in general. Most Virgo people have a hobby of some kind.
The Virgoan parent should beware of being overly critical of the child. Relationships with children will be the easiest in which to express emotion sincerely. Virgoan children should have matters explained to them from the earliest age and be encouraged to be creative.
