• 6th Sign of the Zodiac
• Life Phrase: I analyze
• Modality: Mutable
• Element: Earth
• Duality: Feminine
• Planetary Ruler: Mercury
• Season: Summer
• Associated with the 6th House
• Direction: All Earth signs relate to the South. Virgo describes South by West.
• Anatomy: Virgo principally governs the abdomen area including the diagphragm and the soft tissue that lies beneath it, and the spleen. Cancer takes rulership of the stomach, although Virgo has some significance here, and resumes the major rulership over the organs that lie below the stomach, including the belly, bowels, and small intestines.
• Places: Like all the earth signs, Virgo governs places that are low down and near to the floor. It also rules places connected with agriculture, harvest and agricultural storage, in particular dairies, granaries, malt-houses (and breweries), cornfields, hay-ricks, greenhouses, places connected to barley, wheat or peas or where cheese and butter is churned or stored. Inside the house it signifies areas and objects used for study, accountancy, or storage; the former includes libraries, book cases, or places where books, pens and reading/writing instruments are kept, (typewriters, word processors and computers), study halls, office areas and items used for book-keeping. The latter includes cupboards, pantries, closets, cabinets, drawers, medicine cupboards (and drug stores generally through its association with health). Virgo will also signify objects or areas that serve a purely utilitarian purpose - places or things that are used to store, restore, or repair, such as sewing instruments and machines (also knitting and spinning equipment), tools, and servants quarters in homes that have them. Modern authors associate the sign with places connected with pets, small animals and veterinary services.
• Countries and Cities: Include Turkey, Southern Greece, Athens, Iraq, Baghdad, Croatia, Africa, Jerusalem, South-west France, Toulouse, Paris, Lyons, Rhodes, Heidelburg in Germany, Basle in Switzerland, and Brindisi in Italy.
• Colors: In general Virgos avoid strong dynamic colors in decor and personal attire, preferring subtle hues and muted greys and earthy tones.
• Strength Keywords: Analytical, observant, helpful, reliable, and precise.
• Weakness Keywords: Skeptical, fussy, inflexible, cold, and nosy.
• Mutable: Hard working, Give things their all when they truly believe in themselves, Can be very critical because they value perfection, Realistic and health conscious
• Earth: Can be rather indecisive, but still stable, observing, and analytical, Take comfort in order and organization
• Feminine: Spend a lot of time thinking and analyzing, quite shy at times, focused on what’s in their head and can appear overly critical despite their caring and helpful intentions.
• Polarity of Service: Assist others through bringing order
• Symbol: Virgo is associated with the “Virgin” in two main ways. Firstly because of “purity,’ but more so because of “self-sustainment.” Virgo is symbolized as the Virgin. While in modern times “virgin” is only associated with someone who has yet to participate in sex, but it wasn’t always that way. In the ancient world, a “Virgin” wasn’t just associated with purity, but self-sufficiency. Virgo is often depicted as a women holding a wheat or bread, which does show their providing and sufficient nature.
• Glyph: The glyph for Virgo is thought to depict the sexual organs, with a tail that wraps inwards, closing itself to the world. This, in contrast to the symbol for Scorpio, which is similar, except that the tail points outward and upward in an arrow. This symbolizes the internalization of their energy, both mental and physical.
• Life Stage: Virgo represents the initial stage of adulthood. Where we begin to analyze and become more practical. Spontaneity, emotions, and whims begin to take a back seat, as we pay more attention to our physical wellness and material/financial sustainability.
