Virgo

Modality: Mutable
Element: Earth
Ruler: Mercury
Season: Summer
6th Sign of Zodiac

Metal: Mercury
Stone: Sapphire
Color: Blue, Beige
Anatomy: Intestines, the nervous system

Keywords: analytical, intelligent, reserved, critical, helpful, conscientious

Virgo's symbol is the virgin, and is often considered a shy, "lady in waiting" personality that is a little naive. Though Virgos are seldom celibate, they often keep their personal identity intact throughout their lives. This composure is virginal in nature.

Virgo's symbol is sometimes shown as a woman carrying a sheaf of wisdom, representing the harvesting of wheat at the time of year of the Virgo (late summer).

Virgo Symbol 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.

Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury.

Sun in Virgo



(The Sun is in Virgo from approximately August 23 to September 22, depending on the year)

It is rare to find the stereotypical nitpicky, exacting, "clean freak" in modern-day Virgos. Although the sign of Virgo has evolved with the times, there are some unmistakable traits that remain. Virgo people are generally respectable, hard-working individuals who have a love of knowledge and know-how.

Virgo's symbol, the Virgin, shows itself in the lives of Virgos through a love of all that is "natural" and a certain purity of spirit that keeps Virgos self-sufficient and self-contained, at least on the surface. Virgos are sensitive to their surroundings, and they tend to embarrass easily. They are generally reticent when faced with anything or anyone new. However, once they feel comfortable, they can talk up a storm. Many Virgo Suns are not too comfortable in the limelight. These types are just fine living in the background, as long as they feel useful and appreciated. Solar Virgos have a strong sense of responsibility. Even when they've convinced themselves to be irresponsible about something or the other, they worry about it.

Not all Virgos are workaholics. However, when Solar Virgos are not involved in some kind of project, there is generally a vague feeling of discontent. Even when their lives are filled up with work, they are restless and somewhat nervous creatures. The fear of under-performing is often strong. Virgos want to do things well. Some are exacting and thorough, and those Virgos who have convinced themselves to do a less-than-perfect job will generally feel incomplete.

Virgo, as an Earth sign, has a notable connection to the body. Solar Virgos are generally very body-aware. In some cases, this shows up as some form of hypochondria, but, for the most part, Virgo is simply quite concerned with health matters and nutrition. Virgo is attracted to all that is natural and pure, but is generally unafraid to explore all that is not. In fact, Virgo is an intensely curious sign. Still, there is a strong desire to remain pure on some level, despite all of Virgo's curiosity and drive to know things. Those Virgos that find a true interest or "calling" easily become connoisseurs--their attention to details and enormous observation powers give them the ability to learn all of the ins and outs of any subject. These people love to do research, in addition to analytic or detail work. They'll happily pick apart practically anything, although they are less adept at putting things back together, and often have trouble grasping the big picture.

Virgo Suns who are stuck in the practical, material world may learn a lot about themselves if they are brave enough to try placing their lives on automatic pilot once in a while. Letting some things go will do wonders for their spirit. Virgos tend to be too hard on themselves. They worry about their health, their performance at work, all the things they haven't done, and the emails that might be waiting for them while they are away from their computer. When they're not feeling well, they can be overly critical and nervous. They fuss around, have a whole slew of assorted little complaints, and throw small tantrums.

Solar Virgos are perfectionists--there's simply no escaping it. They dream of mastery; they long to do something really well. Some Virgos are so scared of their own perfectionist qualities that they tell themselves they don't care. Others will forever dabble into one thing or another, leaving a string of incomplete projects behind them. However, the happiest Virgos accept their need to get things right, without overdoing it. Probably the best advice for Sun in Virgo people is to find something that interests them--however small or large--and master it.

Most Virgos can be rather private and fussy about their work, or their personal workspace. They get nervous when others look at their unfinished work, and they are quite protective of their methods of doing things. Despite an overall lack of confidence, Virgos can be mighty proud--even arrogant--when it comes to their work, routines, or hobbies. Secretly, they think their methods of doing things are the best. Often, they are! They do take pride in the little things they do, even though, in a broader sense, Virgos can be rather self-effacing and self-critical.

Solar Virgos often confuse people when their curiosity is mistaken for passion. The surprising part is that Virgo, although knowledgeable, doesn't always get its hands dirty. Their willingness to explore is often kept at the intellectual level. However, Virgos are often well-respected and valued in their circles for their loyalty, research skills, willingness to lend a hand, and their excellent powers of observation. They are generally kind and helpful souls who, when appreciated, do everything to make things work.

There's an odd combination of the intellectual and the practical in Virgo that is sometimes mistaken for coolness. In fact, Virgos are often self-effacing and shy. They'll brush off your compliments quickly and, sometimes, critically; but don't let that fool you. They need your respect and appreciation. In fact, the happiest Virgos are the ones who feel appreciated and useful. Add plenty of worthwhile projects to keep them busy, and Virgos can be some of the sweetest, kindest people around.

Moon in Virgo

Lunar Virgos find security in the little things in life. They feel most content when they've straightened out all the details of everyday life. Many of them enjoy running errands, paying bills, and balancing the books. They take care of these things happily, although some won't let on. In fact, many Lunar Virgos are quite practiced at nagging and complaining. As long as they are appreciated, however, these people will help you take care of your life, too. They are at their best when they feel useful and needed. If somebody needs help, they are generally the first to jump up and take on the task.
Some people with Virgo Moons are accused of being underachievers. While it may be true that Lunar Virgos can lack self-confidence, many are--quite simply--content with living "regular", unassuming lives. They appreciate simplicity, and are often most comfortable when they're not getting too much attention from the world at large. Lunar Virgos are easily overwhelmed by pressure and stress. They worry incessantly when there is too much to think about; and they know their limits.

Arguably the worst position for a Lunar Virgo is without a steady routine or a simply satisfying job. They need to feel useful, and they best express this by helping others in little ways. They need something to call their own, and the space to do what they want to do.

The unhappy Lunar Virgos are fussy and complaining sorts. They are victims of routine and freak out when their plans are not followed. They are restless and nervous, and can't seem to see the big picture. Probably the best remedy for these people is a job or hobby in which they can express their deep need to analyze, attend to details, and micromanage.

These people express their affection for the people they care about in little, but practical, ways. They can be a little stiff when it comes to open, gushy displays of affection. Lunar Virgos are often shy with new people. However, when they are comfortable, they are anything but shy.

More often than not, others can count on Moon in Virgo people. They are reliable and trustworthy. Above all else, Lunar Virgos are practical. Others turn to them for help and advice.

In relationships, Lunar Virgos can be self-effacing and kind. Some are quite shy in love, and easily intimidated on a sexual level. Many are not very comfortable with their sexuality, but they aim to please nonetheless. The sign of Virgo is very body-aware, in general. If this awareness combines with a lack of self-confidence, Lunar Virgos can be too aware of the parts that make up the whole. This can lead to a tendency to be intensely self-critical. Once Lunar Virgos learn to come out of their shell, however, they can be earthy partners with a lot to give.

Some of the most skeptical people are Lunar Virgos. They can't help but poke holes when faced with others' blind faith. Their criticism can be maddening, and their insistence on seeing the practical in anything emotional can be challenging, especially if you are the dreamy type.

Virgo curiosity shows up big time with this position of the Moon. To some, it can be confusing. Lunar Virgos seem very interested in others' problems, for example, but can be quite cool and even unsympathetic in the long run. Their advice can seem hard to more sensitive folk; yet Lunar Virgos can be surprisingly delicate when faced with others' criticism.

Virgo Moon people are generally busy and quietly happy when they have their lives under control. They aim for a simple existence, and are often quite content with very little. Many are early risers, ready to take on the day with enthusiasm. They scurry around, keeping busy and managing their life quietly and expertly. As long as their little world is manageable, Lunar Virgos can be a delight to be around.

Mercury in Virgo

Mercury in Virgo people are rarely flashy in their communication style , but they do thoroughly appreciate it when others acknowledge their brainpower. These people love to keep track of all the details. They can be a little high-strung when things are not orderly or when things seem out of control, so they put a lot of energy into taking care of day-to-day, practical matters.
Mercury in Virgo men and women are generally adept at organizing, planning on a short-term scale, and doing errands. They pay their bills on time, enjoy learning the details of a trade, and generally don't balk at secretarial tasks. They function best when they (or others) have laid out exactly what they have to do. They are generally prompt at responding to others (although a Leo Sun may be less so), and often are willing to lend a hand to others by doing research and leg work for them.

Generally, these people are considered rather useful in their work and as friends because they have a handle on the details of the things they do.

Although they are capable of learning a lot, they need orderly environments in which to learn and study, and organized study methods. They generally pick up a lot of facts and figures, and learn their own trade well, but have trouble truly absorbing the knowledge they collect on a deeper level. Although resourceful, Mercury in Virgo is not as strong at lateral thinking than, for example, water sign Mercuries.

If your Mercury is in Sagittarius or Gemini, you may find Mercury in Virgo difficult to communicate with. Although you two may share common interests, the way you deliver your message can be intensely different to the point of frustration. Learning to understand that your thought processes are different, and the way you present your ideas differ, but there is more common ground than you may know.

Mercury in Virgo natives may appear humble at times, but they get quite protective when it comes to handling day-to-day affairs. They can be very impatient with others, feel they do these things best, take on more work than they should, and then complain that they are doing all the dirty work.

Venus in Virgo

Venus in Virgo people are not the flirtatious sort. Instead, their appeal lies in their dedication, their willingness to work on the relationship, and to make the relationship work in real terms. Unlike Venus in Leo, they won't try to impress you with grand gifts or promises. Their gifts are less showy, but perhaps far more generous -- gifts of devotion and attention to details about you.
Venus in Virgo men and women quietly (and often slowly) make their way into your heart. They are quite sensitive in love -- even insecure -- and this reserved, loner-like quality is part of their appeal. They prefer to play it safe in their relationships, and they need to be confident that you like them before they make a move. They are great listeners and they make it a habit to observe and learn all of your ins and outs. Their love can be of the Kindergarten variety -- they show they care by nagging or criticizing. Remember, though, that they are not trying to hurt you when they are pointing out the flaws in your thinking, plans, or even character. They truly are trying to help! Venus in Virgo is attracted to nondescript people who have largely gone unnoticed. Show-offs and know-it-alls turn them off.

Pleasing Venus in Virgo involves showing you appreciate them for all the little things they do -- and they do a lot. The problem is, they do these things so quietly that you may not always notice or credit them for all these kind gestures. They do need some space (after all, they're generally quite busy making everything work), so give it to them. Be genuine, not ostentatious. They are really not difficult to please after you have taken care of these basic needs. Avoid pushing your friends or family on them too fast -- remember they are a little shy. They aim to please, and are easily intimidated by your experiences. Let them know how much you value them, and they will reward you with devotion and a charming willingness to talk things out.

Mars in Virgo

These productive and busy people are goal-oriented, practical people. Although they can be a little scattered at times, simply because they are doing so many things at any give time, Mars in Virgo natives get things done--quite well! They have a knack for handling a wide variety of tasks at once, and a tendency to take on perhaps too much at the same time.
Most Mars in Virgo natives are not particularly aggressive by nature. Although they can be a little hard-nosed and critical at times, they rarely resort to pushing others around. Still, an annoyed Mars in Virgo native can be difficult to be around! Arouse their anger and they turn into complaining, over-critical nags. Generally, these natives don't make themselves nuisances, so this stage is unlikely to last for very long. It is a sensitive position, however. It doesn't take much to make these people nervous.

Mars in Virgo people are quite protective about their "system" for getting things done. Although rather humble in a general life sense, they can be quite particular about their methods--how they organize and accomplish their goals, mostly with work. Theirs is a nervous energy. Although they have some staying power, they can be restless and are not given to sticking with the same projects for too long.

These natives derive plenty of energy and life force from the things they do--their work, hobbies, and any kind of projects they take on. An idle Mars in Virgo native is a sorry sight, indeed. Fidgety, nervous, worried...all of these things are a sure sign that Mars in Virgo people have either too little to do, or far too much on their plates. There is a perfectionist at the heart of all people with this position. They'll be the first to deny this, but it's there! They worry when they are not producing anything, and they worry about whether what they've produced will measure up.

An earthy and sometimes nervous sexuality generally characterizes people with this position of Mars. In a sense, their performance in bed is similar to their work. These people want to be good at what they do. They will generally be open to experimentation, if only to feed their curiosity and to feel savvy. There's often a shy and humble side to Mars in Virgo in any area that involves putting themselves out there and letting go (areas ruled by Mars). But experience and knowledge are important to these natives, and this drive generally wins over their natural reticence.

People with Virgo rising are often a little understated in their personal mannerisms and appearance, although a lot depends on the position of Mercury (the ruling planet of Virgo) in the chart. Generally, there is an intelligent and reserved aura about Virgo rising individuals that is unmistakable. These are actually somewhat shy people who need time to analyze things around them before they warm up to both situations and people. This quality can be received exactly as that, or it can be received as a rather stand-offish, cool, and even critical manner (depending on the audience).
One of the biggest personality traits of this position is body-awareness. People with Virgo ascendants are sensitive to any discomfort or other signals their body gives them. Many are especially interested and concerned with physical health, and some are attracted to mind-body awareness exercises such as yoga. Virgo rising people are often rather particular about food. Although some have good appetites, there can be an unmistakable pickiness about what they put in and on their bodies.

Virgo ascendant natives have a tendency to worry a lot, especially when confronted with new situations. They notice the tiniest details that others overlook.

Many people with this position have a tendency to attract (or be attracted to) people who need help. Their relationships may be confusing as a result. Despite the Virgo rising tendency to appear rather collected and professional, relationships can sometimes be messy simply because these natives don't always see their partners and partnerships clearly.

There's a quiet charm to many Virgo rising people. Once they have the chance to warm up to new people and situations, you'll find they have a lot to offer. They'll help you out of a jam, go out on a limb for you, and surprise you with a natural modesty under a somewhat critical and standoffish manner.

Your Sun sign is Virgo, which means that it is only when people know you well that your Virgo traits become obvious. They may be different from your outward appearance, which is influenced by your Ascendant sign.


Virgo, Ascendant Aries

Your Ascendant sign is Aries, which means that, at first glance, people feel the influence of Aries on your outward appearance It may be different from your inner self, which defined by your Sun sign.

Virgo is quite picky and precise, whereas Aries is exclusive and Manichean. As a result, you are not a very compromising person. You do not hesitate to give your point of view, especially when you disagree with the majority of people. With an Aries Ascendant, you react headlong, and you often put your foot in your mouth. In the bright side, you make it a point to turn down all hypocritical compromises which may mar your clear-cut and sometimes final stands. When they first meet you, people may criticise your excessive impulsiveness or your apparent lack of nuance because they are unaware of your Virgo Sun. Indeed, Virgo can be felt only when people know you better. You are perfectionist and well-organised, you leave nothing to chance, and you are particularly wary of rough lines of thought which prevent from moving forward. You are hard on people as well as on yourself because you are driven by a genuine will to progress and lend assistance to others.


Virgo, Ascendant Taurus

Your Ascendant sign is Taurus, which means that, at first glance, people feel the influence of Taurus on your outward appearance It may be different from your inner self, which defined by your Sun sign.

With you, one can rest assured that one never goes short of anything! Since Virgo is thrifty and meticulous, and Taurus is greedy and productive, there is no doubt that the members of your entourage and your guests are perfectly well attended to. Your Taurus Ascendant prompts you to behave with gentleness and liveliness, which delights your friends, except when you are annoyed, in which case, you display a strong and scornful indifference which may degenerate into thundering fury. In normal circumstances, your Virgo Sun displays moderation and tolerance, but it never misses an opportunity to criticize. Indeed, you excel at spotting people's flaws, and your cutting

Indeed, you excel at spotting people's flaws, and your cutting remarks usually affect the poor imperfect thing that your interlocutor is. Nevertheless, it would be wrong to think that you are ill-intentioned because you only try to be helpful, and you are no less intransigent about your own shortcomings. Although Virgo and Taurus are not the most daring signs of the Zodiac, their unfailing loyalty and their healthy humility are major assets.

Virgo, Ascendant Gemini

Your Ascendant sign is Gemini, which means that, at first glance, people feel the influence of Gemini on your outward appearance It may be different from your inner self, which defined by your Sun sign.

Don't cogitate to the point that you get sick! The peculiarity that these two Mercurian signs have in common is that they are high-strung and tend to give precedence to their intellect over their emotions. The difference is that Virgo is analytical and fond of figures, whereas Gemini is curious and fond of letters. Despite your nervous disposition, you are quite rational, and you easily steer clear of subjective concepts dripping with mawkish feelings which do not match the reality. Your Gemini Ascendant gives you a spruce, playful and impish outward appearance. Your Virgo Sun strengthens your mental agility, which enables you to manage your relationships cleverly and to cope with the most various situations. This sign combination endows you with a sharp curiosity and urges you to look for as much information as possible about various topics, out of fun, but also in order to get a good command of the areas which you are interested in. You are more level-headed and cautious than you seem to be, and you often keep your observations and your manias to yourself. Intellectual objectivity is actually second nature to you!

Virgo, Ascendant Cancer

Your Ascendant sign is Cancer, which means that, at first glance, people feel the influence of Cancer on your outward appearance It may be different from your inner self, which defined by your Sun sign.

It is so difficult to tame you! This zodiacal signature indicates that you think twice before you leap, or before you reveal your true personality. Is it owing to reasonable caution, or to irrational fears? To speak the truth, you do not really know the answer, and when you are in unfamiliar settings, your first reaction is more the consequence of a sort of gruff and stubborn refusal rather than the result of a clear strategy. But you also have an endearing, fanciful, and bohemian side, and once people are able to sneak into your tough shell, they discover your Virgoan inner self. You uncompromisingly select the acquaintances which deserve to be admitted into your private circle, and later on, even though you have adopted them, you do not hesitate to banish them from your world if they do not live up to your expectations. You enjoy cultivating your universe, organizing all its details, and assigning a place to everyone and everything, lest your life becomes a mess. You are considerate and helpful, and you deem that you deserve the same attention, which is the least that could be expected.


Virgo, Ascendant Leo

Your Ascendant sign is Leo, which means that, at first glance, people feel the influence of Leo on your outward appearance It may be different from your inner self, which defined by your Sun sign.

There seems to be a clash between your inner self, represented by Virgo, and the way you behave in society, which is influenced by your Leo Ascendant. You loathe unexpected events, and your close entourage mostly notice your reasonable and pernickety facet which enables you to organize your life and to never be overwhelmed by any situation. You are appreciated for your brilliant remarks and your incisive sense of humor, which, as vexing as they may be, are never ill-intentioned. The Leo mask you wear in society conceals your reserved nature. On the contrary, Leo endows you with catching warmth and a dignity which is devoid of ulterior motives. You sometimes goof, and in such cases, you react comically because you never want to reveal your weak spots. This sign combination results in a blend of humility and pride which is quite paradoxical since, on the one hand, Leo needs to shine and comman

Leo needs to shine and command respect, and on the other hand, Virgo cannot help feeling guilty for the sin of pride. You are constantly dissatisfied, and although you turn down the praises people extended to you, you anxiously fish for compliments when they don't come quickly enough!


Virgo, Ascendant Virgo

Your Ascendant sign is Virgo, which means that, at first glance, people feel the influence of Virgo on your outward appearance It may be different from your inner self, which defined by your Sun sign.

You are twice a Virgo and therefore, there is no discrepancy between your inner self and your outward appearance. You are a Virgo to your fingertips. Your outstanding feature is your laser-like mind which sorts out all the pieces of information you need in order to improve your situation or to defeat potential enemies. You are smart, observant, and high-strung, and you appreciate clarity in all things. With all these qualities, you are fully-equipped against vagaries and misfortunes, and you can be likened to the provident ant in Jean de la Fontaine's Fables "The Cicada and the Ant". You may be criticized for your maniac and pernickety side, but you go about your business with discretion and humility without disturbing anyone. Actually, the mean cicadas will be very relieved to see you rushing to rescue them after they have sung for too long! Because you are a perfectionist, you prefer to tackle the modest tasks in which you excel and which you can improve, rather than to embark upon large-scale undertakings which are impossible to properly control. Your ambitions are limited, and it is really a pity because your meticulousness and your pragmatism are outstanding and would be highly appreciated. Sometimes, as you feel quite tired of exerting self-control, you forget all about it, and you allow the wild side of Virgo to enter the stage. In such cases, you lose all your usual modesty and reason, but it is only to cling to them even more tightly afterwards. Quite a healthy reaction, actually...

Virgo, Ascendant Libra

Your Ascendant sign is Libra, which means that, at first glance, people feel the influence of Libra on your outward appearance It may be different from your inner self, which defined by your Sun sign.

Do you prefer to remain reserved, or to cheerfully rush to meet people? Your polite and charming smile is not to be trusted because your Virgo Sun strategically protects its autonomy, which is of utmost importance. As a nimble and sociable Air sign, Libra facilitates your search for nice and highly civilized relationships. Beneath your unmindful and pleasant outward appearance, you make every effort in order not to offend your interlocutors because you know that you very quickly pick up incompatibilities and flaws, and that this may hurt them. You carefully select your acquaintances, and you keep only the most trustworthy persons. Once they pass the test, people discover your true personality which is harsher, more critical, and deeper than what you seem to be at first glance. As an Earth sign, Virgo never loses sight of its down-to-earth interests. However, its refined sensuality and extremely selective tastes are quite amazing. Owing to your Libra Ascendant, you are an aesthete and a diplomat, whereas your Virgo Sun endows you with perfectionism and mistrust. As a result, you constantly waver between these two tendencies. Under all circumstances, you project an angelic and inaccessible image...

Virgo, Ascendant Scorpio

Your Ascendant sign is Scorpio, which means that, at first glance, people feel the influence of Scorpio on your outward appearance It may be different from your inner self, which defined by your Sun sign.

Your personality is marked by two signs which have in common some reserve and an extremely developed critical mind. You use, sometimes you misuse, insightful but punchy words which may hurt or reveal your interlocutor's lack of sincerity. The Ascendant sign describes the image you project, whereas the Sun sign symbolizes your inner self. In your case, there is no discrepancy between the ways you behave in society and in private settings. Both of them are cautious, perceptive, and perfectionist, even extremist as far as Scorpio is concerned. Virgo is often considered to be the "mild" version of Scorpio, and as such, helpful, discreet, and almost impossible to corrupt. Your Sun sign also has a component known as the "Wild Virgo", which is prone to sudden about-turns and, surprisingly enough, recalls Scorpio's traits. Nevertheless, Virgo and Scorpio are quite different. Scorpio is often seething with internal rage and revels in provocations just for the sake of showing that it cannot be tamed or influenced. Although your outward appearance is abrasive, you offer to your close ones your sound intellect and your pragmatism which prove so convenient in everyday life.

Virgo, Ascendant Sagittarius

Your Ascendant sign is Sagittarius, which means that, at first glance, people feel the influence of Sagittarius on your outward appearance It may be different from your inner self, which defined by your Sun sign.

With their clashing personalities, Virgo and Sagittarius don't get along too well, and it is most likely that you feel torn between their differences. Your Virgo Sun is introverted and analytical, and self-control is the safeguard against your anarchistic tendencies, but excessive restraint yields the exact reverse effect of what is expected. Owing to your Sagittarius Ascendant, you come across as a sociable and cosmopolitan person. When you meet people for the first time, you approach them with so much openness, enthusiasm, and politeness that you feel that you can understand any opinion and give your own viewpoints freely, though you do so with a touch of proselytism. In society, you are relaxed and you show your fondness for feasts, perhaps because you fear that your more intellectual and critical true self puts people off. You are wrong because your Virgo facet offsets the pomposity and casualness you are often blamed for. Owing to Virgo, you are composed, organised, and modest. Your piercing gaze overlooks nothing, especially not the smallest details, and your snap judgements are merely an entertaining mask which you are the first one to consider unimportant. Since they are both Mutable signs, Virgo and Sagittarius are equally flexible and able to adjust to any situation.

Virgo, Ascendant Capricorn

Your Ascendant sign is Capricorn, which means that, at first glance, people feel the influence of Capricorn on your outward appearance It may be different from your inner self, which defined by your Sun sign.

How serious you are! What a great sense of organisation and discipline! You know how to protect yourself against regrettable vagaries which might upset the reassuring pace of your life. However, your Virgo Sun always retains the necessary hindsight which prevents from falling into oppressing austerity, probably because this sign is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication fond of humour. Since Virgo is a Mutable sign, it is flexible and mentally agile. It remains updated and makes progress in its chosen fields as well as in its personal achievements. Capricorn and Virgo are quite similar because they are both Earth signs, but your Capricorn Ascendant projects a more abrupt and aloof image towards your acquaintances. It has an aura of aristocratic and solemn seriousness which may repel or intrigue your interlocutors. Furthermore, Capricorn always gives the impression that it bears the weight of the world on its shoulders, perhaps because its vision of the world is too realistic and ambitious. In order not to fall into pessimism, you use your black humour. In any case, regardless of the sign exerting the strongest influence on your personality, you are endowed with an unfailing modesty and a loyalty which is seldom disappointing.

Virgo, Ascendant Aquarius

Your Ascendant sign is Aquarius, which means that, at first glance, people feel the influence of Aquarius on your outward appearance It may be different from your inner self, which defined by your Sun sign.

The first traits people notice about your Aquarius Ascendant are your optimism and your nonconformism. You are an idealist, and you always want to appear independent and open to new things, especially when they question well-established values. But this is perhaps only an outward attitude, since your Virgo Sun mistrusts unrealistic stands and considers them as cranky theories. Virgo is happy to work on its own. It progresses at a slow pace and offers its support and its help to people who seek them and deserve them. You are withdrawn but discerning, and you sometimes regret that, because of your first and uncontrolled reactions, you project an image which does not reflect what your true self is. It is difficult to access your deeper thoughts or your personal world. Indeed, each in its own fashion, these two signs seldom reveal their sensitivity and focus more on the intellectual aspect of people and things. Virgo is more sensual and practical and prefers to show its attachment through daily caring gestures rather than through dramatic demonstrations of affection. Aquarius is successful in instilling hope in others, and it is appreciated for its solidarity, but it is reluctant to talk about itself because the words "to confide a secret" are not part of its vocabulary.

Virgo, Ascendant Pisces

Your Ascendant sign is Pisces, which means that, at first glance, people feel the influence of Pisces on your outward appearance It may be different from your inner self, which defined by your Sun sign.

Your Sun sign and your Ascendant sign are opposite but complementary. Flexibility, abnegation, and modesty are their common traits. You are definitely selfless, and you have no intention to participate in the race for honours which seems so meaningless to you. Owing to your Pisces Ascendant, you come across as ambivalent, and people find your benevolence and your generosity quite bewitching. You sometimes let yourself be tempted by opportunism because you are exhilarated by your capacity to merge with the most different personalities. This is Pisces' formidable asset! Nevertheless, your inner self, defined by Virgo, urges you to remain careful and on the alert, and therefore, you closely guard your tranquillity and your daily pace, which is as organised as a music sheet. You are more rational and maniac than what you appear to be at first glance, and you admit in your private sphere only trustworthy people who are unlikely to upset your life style . One should not be fooled by your apparent indifference because you are eagle-eyed and you never miss a weak spot on the armor!

Sun in Virgo, Moon in Aries

The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces some degree of conflict in your nature because of vast differences between these signs. The common qualities are hardness and a true strength of purpose. Real emotions are not likely to be common to your nature. The variance of these to signs suggests a personality that is high-spirited, combative, and critical. Sociability is not second nature to you, and you seem to hold on to friends and lovers in spite of, not because of, the way you project yourself. You are demanding and exacting; always such a perfectionist. You have much less self-confidence than most perceive. You express yourself in a dynamic and executive way that makes you a strong, but probably not always the most popular manager. Mentally, you are both thoughtful and accurate, having piercing insights into people and situations. Being not at all disinclined to voice your dissatisfaction with others, many will view you as an exceptionally demanding leader. You may have difficulty seeing yourself objectively as a sense of detachment and the lack of emotional involvement retards self appraisal. You may express emotions when you feel this would serve your purpose, but sentimentality and gushy emotions are viewed by you as character weaknesses to be avoided. You are repelled by others that openly demonstrate such traits.

Sun in Virgo, Moon in Taurus

The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces a very solid, dependable and salt of the earth type personality. This is usually a materially fortunate position. Though you may have a natural tendency to worry, you may have little to worry about. You have a sharp mind and an affable personality that endows success with little difficulty. You are strongly rooted in security and appear to others to be a most stable type. Though nerves may sometimes flare up, when you are given time to think things through, they are easily brought back into control. You can get a little flighty, sometimes a bit extreme, even eccentric, or at least unconventional in your habits and general behavior. Ambition is not strongly marked in your nature because you never seem to need it as things just naturally seem to flow your way. You have the capacity to stick with any job until it is done and done right. Yet you may never be the one to initiate the big project, scheme or dream. You excel at overseeing and keeping the troops in line. You have a way with people because you don't "beat around the bush" and play games. Straightforward and constant, you manage with integrity and purpose. If you weren't born into a fortunate environment, you know how to create one. Common sense and a wise practical bent will lead to success in business and in personal relationships alike.

Sun in Virgo, Moon in Gemini

The combination of your Sun and Moon signs makes mind power your greatest strength. Quick, brilliant reasoning is the hallmark of this configuration. You are rational, capable of figuring things out analytically, and of grasping details and intricacies. Because you are so inclined to live by reason, the emotional side of your nature is not nearly so responsive. It isn't that you're not sympathetic or emotional, but cold logic sometimes gives that appearance. You can detect underlying motives and feeling with ease, thanks to your careful perceptions. Your responses to what you have perceived may not be particularly emotional or sympathetic, as it is difficult for you to mix or integrate your logic and your feeling. You are a natural student with a thirst for knowledge, and you do almost equally well with definite, detailed work and abstract, philosophical thought. In a sense you may appear fickle and too changeable because of the variety of mental interests that appeal to you. Physically, you may have a tendency to "go to pot" if you don't make a special effort to keep in shape. You'll never be fat as nervous energy burns the necessary calories, but your muscle tone may deteriorate, and you may grow pale and wan from lack of exercise. In your youth, active sports were important to you, but as you mature there is too much of a tendency to become sedentary. You're inclined to take to a good book or to any number of hobbies that are passive in nature. Exercise is the best medicine for the enormous amounts of nervous energy associated with this configuration.

Sun in Virgo, Moon in Cancer

The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign shows a sensitive, but harmonious personality; one that can think and feel very deeply. The intelligence, analytical insight, and discrimination of Virgo, blends well with the emotional sensitivity of Cancer. You have a receptive temperament often deeply influenced by outside conditions or other people with whom you come in contact. Inwardly you are practical and discriminating, but outwardly you seem changeable. The combination of practical intelligence with feeling and a vivid imagination, can support success with relative ease. An intuitive insight into facts and details allows you to often "feel" the truth of an issue. Your have a good sense of values and find it easy to know what things are worth. Your intuitive knowledge of human psychology, and of the things people are interested in or will buy, supports progress and opportunity in business. Security means a good deal to you, and to some extent you can emphasize protective and defensive instincts in your affairs and activities. You form close attachments to those people who are near you, but you're ever shy around those you don't know so well. Reserved and perhaps even a little timid, you project a conservative attitude. You are attached to traditions, convention, and habit, with change being a concept that you accept slowly.

Sun in Virgo, Moon in Leo

The combination of your Sun and Moon signs produces a very earnest, if contradictory personality. The pairing blends the intelligence, analytical insight and discrimination of Virgo, with the vitality, confidence and authoritativeness of Leo. There is much internal indecision in your nature, but the Virgo personality is sure to rule. You do what you should, instead of what you would. You are naturally conscientious, revealing great working capacity or devotion to duty. You have a very confident and positive personality, often proving assertive, sometimes aggressive. Your assertive impulses may cause you to spend some time worrying when you later take the time to reflect and analyze what you have said or done. You feel better when you can hold back until you have that inner confidence that the direction you're headed is correct. You're a person of very high character and strong principles. You rely on individual worth and expect others to recognize your sincerity, and they usually do. You have a practical individuality and a discriminating nature. Your strengths of character and high principles should help you attain your potentials in life.

Sun in Virgo, Moon in Virgo

The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign shows that you are dominated and motivated by your intellectual interests. You are very loyal and sympathetic, but never very romantic. When you marry, it will be for intellectual affinity as much as anything else. A high sense of discrimination restricts you from getting involved with anyone with an inferior mind. You are very finicky in your tastes in matters of people, dress, food, and even household furnishings. This sense of discrimination keeps you pretty conventional. You have an innate dislike for anything radical or daring, keeping you and the object of your interests very much on the straight and narrow. You are very secure in your practicality. Flightiness, insincerity, and frivolity, heavy emotions or half-thought-out ideas have no place in your life. Since you think matters through so carefully, you are not likely to be gullible or easily convinced. You are a very socially oriented person. You believe in preserving the law and order, and when issues need changing, you want the improvements to occur in an orderly and gradual way, according to the rules of the game. The revolutionary spirit is not strong in your nature. Peace is so important to you. Nothing is worth fighting for except in a polite and well-bred way. While you are one to hold rigidly to your well conceived ideas, you have no difficulty fully understanding and appreciating the ideas of others. At times, this makes a firm and decisive course of action hard to plan and execute. When a direction is decided, your creations are marked by care and precision and a flawlessness that is amazing. You are the perfectionist, always placing many demands on yourself.

Sun in Virgo, Moon in Libra

The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces a personality that is discriminating, intellectual, and peace-loving. This position blends the intelligence, analytical insight and discrimination of Virgo, with the emotional balance, courtesy and friendliness of Libra. You are friendly and know how to make a good impression, but you can remain detached and impersonal in relationships. You have a sense of restraint and diplomacy in your nature that prevents you from ever coming on very strong. You may not even voice your opinion unless you feel you really have something of value to offer. Mental stimulation and study keep your quiet and observant personality occupied and content. You enjoy companionship and in having a good time, but excesses and extremes are not your style . The critical aspect of Virgo is softened by the Libra Moon, creating a fine and precise balance. The elements of discrimination and criticism blend to make you very selective in associations, and contained or restrained in the saying or doing of anything that might hurt or offend others. Your reaction to coarseness is avoidance. While perhaps a lover of humanity in general, your tendency to examine individuals closely before you accept them in any social sense, leads others to view you as highly aloof and particular. You have a way of eluding the issue and being thought of hard to get to know. You practice a quiet and unassuming approach to life, having a live and let live creed. The social aspects of Libra make you inclined to enjoy friendships, but not the deep, intimate relationships associated with romance. You have an intellectual curiosity and love to experiment, to muse over what you have learned. Mental analysis and impartial judgment are the major strengths of this combination.

Sun in Virgo, Moon in Scorpio

The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces one that looks and acts like an intellectual, but with an emotional nature that is truly the driving force. This is perhaps the most emotional of the quiet Virgo breed. The quick mind and common sense that is so notable in all with Virgo Sun, is charged with an intense rashness and impulsiveness common to Scorpio. Your ability to reason and rationalize is well developed, but you often seem almost incapable of believing what is foreign to your internal emotional bias. Thus, you become very partisan in whatever causes or ideas light you fire. These you may rationalize and try to give intellectual status, but you usually color judgments with intuition rather than logic. You are facile at thinking up reasons why your ideas are right and always persuasive at putting them across. At times you appear near genius, and at other times, way off base. You are often to be found among the theoretical and radical thinkers, able to prove nearly anything on paper with diagrams to show how it should work. Whether it really will or not in real life may be another thing. Your intellectual powers are strong, but you're often less than realistic. You have a certain zeal that makes it hard for you to remain still and listen to what others have to say, and you can be dominating in your approach to group endeavors. Underneath, you have a somewhat brooding personality that is forever probing, turning over stones and delving for ideas with which you can either feel affinity or enmity. In business you are likely to be successful and valuable to your employer because you do possess powerful leadership qualities. In this environment you seem to become more objective and less emotional. Nonetheless, learning to restrain the natural tendencies of this configuration will make life and relationships much easier.

Sun Virgo, Moon in Sagittarius

The combination of your Sun in Virgo and Moon in Sagittarius in many respects produces a dreamer that thinks in large broad terms; a Virgo who consistently belies the nature of the sign. You are capable of doing things that you probably disapprove of, for the sake of adventure, romance, and excitement. The puritan nature, commonly the hallmark of Virgo, may have to look the other way while you accumulate a few experiences. You are definitely not a classic Virgo possessing a narrow and focused mind. Many of the thoughts that run though your head bear little connection to everyday life. You are surprisingly philosophic and somewhat introspective, but instead of looking inside yourself, you seem to hold preconceived notions of what you are or would like to be. You can be so idealistic at times that it will be hard for anyone to meet your expectations. You can spend a good part of your life just daydreaming, though you do possess a practical analytical nature allowing you to be a very creative person when you decide you want to be. Your challenge will always be to control your restlessness and concentrate on things that have true relevancy. You can be very dramatic in all your actions, and you likely have a good talent for acting. Your use of body language and gestures can clearly communicate. You must be especially careful in this sometimes, and be aware of a tendency toward bluntness in dealing with other people. Often they will take a tactless comment much more personally that you intended it. Human sensitivities are something that you will have some difficulty understanding.


Sun in Virgo, Moon in Capricorn

The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces a well-integrated personality with a fine mind, but one who is on the critical, rather than the creative side. The intelligence, analytical insight and discrimination of Virgo blends well with the realism, conservatism and deep ambition of Capricorn. You are your own source of strength, moral support, and ambition. There are few who can claim such self-sufficiency as can you. This is one of the most practical Sun/Moon combinations in the Zodiac, endowing you with splendid abilities, business shrewdness, a calculating and realistic mind, and the ability to place emphasis squarely on material values. Your healthy ambition wants wealth and power. Your ability to organize and systematize your knowledge of business facts assures success and

***

Your ability to organize and systematize your knowledge of business facts assures success and sound enterprise. Your mind can exclude trivial issues and concentrate on the important matters. You are committed to personal integrity and people recognize this and trust you. A quiet determination and dedication to purpose describes your resolute demeanor as you uphold convention and follow routine. You are independent or you dislike the restraint or control of others. Public recognition or executive position means much to you, and you need a high objective on which to focus your energies for major accomplishments.


Sun in Virgo, Moon in Aquarius

The combination of your Virgo Sun and Aquarius Moon produces one who, in part, is very earth bound and practical, while another part is somewhere above the horizon searching for truth, understanding, and knowledge. You strive to be aloof from the mundane elements of everyday life, as this is not a combination featuring much human emotion and passion. Periodic moods of emotionalism and romanticism notwithstanding, you're inclined to be cool and self-sufficient at heart. You can be insensitive in the way you handle people. You tell them what you think rather than what they want to hear, expecting them to be big enough to handle it; supreme objectivity, it might be called. You are a sympathetic person, but it's more because of your totally objective way of looking at things, rather than just a bleeding heart. You can use sympathy and understanding without letting your judgment get too clouded with emotion. In romance, the intellectual connection and perhaps romantic idealism, is more important to you than the emotional and physical side of love. You can become absorbed and occupied with an idea or a plan, a true mental explorer, dreaming, scheming and trying to satisfy an endless curiosity. You are a somewhat suspicious person, critical and judicial. Your mind may often be unconventional, but you are usually guided by a sound analytical and intuitive sense.

Sun in Virgo, Moon in Pisces

The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces insight, an understanding mind, a profound personality. You are both intellectual and intuitive, can reason things out by cold logic, learn facts, and absorb figures, while your hunches are actively at work. Born wise, you know a lot without being told. The combination blends the intelligence, analytical insight and discrimination of Virgo with the emotional sensitivity and intuitive understanding of Pisces. Born during a full Moon, you express a profundity of mind, studious inclination, and deep understanding that sets you apart from most people. Success in business or a profession is aided by a keen intellect and sound retentive memory. However, the strong blending of the intellectual and the intuitive may steer you toward more contemplative inclination of mind and away from the practical. Perhaps you are interested in the arts, music, or the metaphysical. You can easily balance practical interests and the theoretical. The vast differences in your individuality and your conditioned responses can cause a good deal of restlessness in your nature. Thought and feeling, logic and intuition, observation and impression, all are balanced well in this configuration. Understanding, but critical, you are highly respected for your ability to listen and advise with trustworthy discretion. While not being very ambitious and perhaps not the best executive, you are willing to shoulder a good deal of responsibility. You really don't want to be in the spotlight, yet you are very popular and people seem to just naturally rely on you.

All about the 6th house...

The House of Health

The Sixth House is commonly referred to as the House of Health. Implicit in maintaining good health is the ability to cope in the face of adversity, and this theme rings truest in the Sixth House. As human beings, we naturally have shortcomings. What will we do with them? How will we react in the face of a personal crisis? Crises, illnesses and reversals of fortune are all part of our Earthly trek. How we confront these situations and deal with the lessons they invariably teach us helps to define the person we become.

Our fears may hold us back, but if we can meet them head-on and come out stronger on the other side, we may learn the valuable lesson of service or what our life's work should be. Work and service are central to the Sixth House. The focus here is on employment (employers and employees), training, those who serve us (along with those we serve) and those who depend on us. Keeping ourselves strong throughout these efforts is also important here, which is why this house further focuses on health (good and bad), diet, fitness and hygiene.

Essential to the work we do in life is the work we do on our self. Duty, responsibility and personal growth all contribute to the creation of a fully-realized being. We work for others as well as for ourselves; we are at service to those who need us, including our own being. There will be times when crises of health or faith will stand in the way of our best self. At those times, we must endeavor to heal ourselves (again, the focus of this House is on health) so that we can return to the work of realizing our sum potential, of serving our world.

The Sixth House also addresses the daily dealings of life: what will I wear today? Do I need a haircut? Has the dog been fed? These simple matters keep our engines humming and enable us to do the more important work of our choosing. It's a patchwork quilt: the ability to serve others in health and through work, which is both valuable and fulfilling.

The Sixth House is ruled by Virgo and the planet Mercury.

Mercury, Messenger of the Gods

Mercury, the messenger of the gods, is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo. Mercury is the messenger in Astrology as it is in Mythology. It is the planet of day-to-day expression and communication. Mercury's action is to take things apart and put them back together again. It is an opportunistic planet, decidedly unemotional and curious.

In modern times, we tend to "meet" people's Mercury first. Many people make a connection for the first time through e-mails, for example. Mercury rules whether we are flowery in our speech and/or written words, concise in our choice of words, or business-like even in our personal communications.

Mercury not only rules communication, it represents coordination. Thought processes, ideas, and sensory information from both unconscious and unconscious sources all need to be coordinated and understood. Mercury analyzes, sorts, groups, and makes sense of things. How does we handle nervous energy? How do we express and convey our thoughts? How do we approach others and information in order to learn and exchange ideas?

When we are "acting out" our Mercury, we are inquisitive, curious, communicative, and versatile. On the negative side, we can be high-strung or nervous, nit-picky, indecisive, and overly technical.

On a personal level, look to Mercury in the chart to reveal how individuals get their point across, how they study, and how they process information. Mercury by sign shows an individual's style of communication. By house, Mercury reveals where natives seek to have a voice as well as which areas of life they tend to intellectualize and give a lot of thought to. Mercury colors the planets it aspects with a desire for communication and exchange of information. Similarly, the planets Mercury aspects affect the way an individual communicates. Mercury prominent in a chart points to wit, liveliness, and curiosity.

Virgo Constellation

Virgo is a congested constellation with 26 known exoplanets — planets outside of the solar system — orbiting around 20 stars, and at least a dozen Messier objects. It is the largest constellation of the Zodiac and the second-largest constellation overall, behind Hydra.

Locating Virgo

Virgo covers 1,294 square degrees. Most of the constellation??s stars are dim, but Virgo's bright blue-white star, Spica, is fairly easy to locate. Stargazers can use the Big Dipper as a guide. Follow the curve of the handle down to the southeast until you come to the bright star Arcturus, in the Bootes constellation. Continue the arc to the next bright star, which is Spica. There's even a mnemonic phrase to help you remember: "Follow the arc to Arcturus, then speed on to Spica."

Tied to fertility and agriculture, Virgo appears to stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere during the spring and summer months and to those in the Southern Hemisphere in autumn and winter.
?? Right Ascension: 13 hours
?? Declination: 0 degrees
?? Visible between latitudes 80 and minus 80 degrees
?? Best seen in May at 9 p.m.

Spica, also known as Alpha Virginis, is the brightest star in the constellation. Spica ranks as the 16th brightest star in the night sky and can be regarded as a nearly perfect example of a star of the first magnitude. It is a blue giant about 260 light-years from Earth. The star is about twice as big as the sun and its luminosity is 2,300 times that of the sun. It is known as the "ear of wheat" being held by Virgo.

The second brightest star is Gamma Virginis, also known as Porrima and Arich, is a binary star. The third-brightest star, Epsilon Virginis, is a yellow giant that is also known as Vindemiatrix, or the Grape Gatherer.

Zeta Virginis, or Heze, is a white dwarf notable for its exceptionally short rotation period of less than 0.5 days.

The star 70 Virginis has one of the first known exoplanets, with one confirmed planet 7.5 times the mass of Jupiter.

The Virgo Galaxy Cluster contains 11 deep space objects catalogued by Charles Messier, more than any constellation except Sagittarius, which has 15.

Mythology

Virgo is typically linked to Dike, the Greek goddess of justice, and Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, the harvest goddess. According to Greek mythology, the earth experienced eternal spring until the god of the underworld abducted the spring maiden Persephone.

Persephone

It was a beautiful day like all the others in this land, the sun shone brightly in the sky, the hills were lush and green, and flowers blossomed from the earth. The lovely young maiden, Persephone, frolicked with her friends upon the hillside, as her mother Demeter sat near by, and her father Zeus peered down from the sky above. Laughter could be heard in between the young girls' whispered secrets, as they gathered handfuls of purple crocuses, royal blue irises and sweet-smelling hyacinths. Persephone thought to bring some to her mother, but was soon distracted by a vision of the most enchanting flower she had ever seen. It was a narcissus, the exact flower her father hoped that she would find. As she reached down to pluck it from its resting place, her feet began to tremble and the earth was split in two. Life for Persephone would never be the same again.

From this gaping crevice in the ground emerged the awe-inspiring God of the Underworld, Hades, and before Persephone could even think to utter a word, she was whisked off her feet onto the God's golden chariot. As the crack of the whip upon his majestic horses brought her to her senses, she realized she was about to taken into the black depths from which he'd come. The thought of this brought terror to her heart, yet any screams of protest were soon lost within the darkness, as they descended quickly into the Underworld below.

While Persephone's cries could not be heard above the ground, the pain in Demeter's heart quickly alerted her to the fact that something was terribly wrong. She searched high and low for her dear daughter, who had vanished from both the heavens and the earth. Consumed by depression over the loss of her child, she soon ceased to remember her worldly duties as Goddess of Grain and Growth. As she watched the plants wither and die all around her, she felt her own hopes begin to fade as well.

At the same time, deep down in the realm of the dead, Hades hoped to explain his actions to the sweet Persephone. Professing his love, he told her of the plan her father helped deploy and begged her to stay and be his wife. Yet, Persephone longed for something more, the comforts of her mother's home and a view of the lush green grass and blue sky up above.

Far above the darkness of the Underworld, her mother continued to wander the forlorn earth. Eventually she found her way to the town of Eleusis, where she rested by a flowing fountain. Stripped of all her vital energy, she appeared old and wrinkled beyond her years. Soon four young females found the aging Goddess, and agreed to take her home. Their parents were glad to offer the elderly woman lodging and a stable position caring for their little son. Wishing to reward the family for their kindness, Demeter attempted to offer the child the gift of immortality, by sticking him in the fire each night and removing him every morning before dawn. When the child's mother found him in the flames, she was horrified. Her mortal mind could not comprehend the actions of the Goddess, and she asked her to leave their home at once. This immediately brought back Demeter's fighting spirit, who surprised them by exposing her true self. The family begged the Goddess for forgive them and in return agreed to her demands: "A temple would be built in my honor, and you will teach the world my secret to immortality." Within no time, the town built a beautiful temple on the hillside, which the Goddess blessed before continuing on her journey.

Yet it didn't take long for Demeter's happiness to be replaced with rage, as she recalled the disappearance of her daughter. She flew to the home of Zeus and demanded that Persephone be found at once. She also questioned every immortal she could find and eventually uncovered Zeus' plot. In an attempt to appease Demeter's growing anger, he dispatched a messenger to retrieve their daughter from the depths.

Upon his entry to the Underworld, the messenger Hermes was amazed at what he found. Instead of finding a frail and fearful Persephone, he found a radiant and striking Queen of the Dead. She had adjusted well to her new position, saying she had even found her calling. The Goddess was now in charge of greeting the new arrivals and helping them adapt to their new life. While she wished to see her mother up above, she was torn by her desire to remain Hades' wife.

Hoping to comfort Persephone in her confusion, Hades came to his Queen's side. He gently kissed her forehead and urged her, "Do not fret, eat instead from this fruit I know you will like." As she pressed the red pomegranate seeds to her lips, she listened to his words. He told her he would miss her very much, but her duties as a daughter mattered too. So, she climbed into the chariot and bid her husband farewell, as Hermes sped them off to the middle realm of mother earth, the home of her devoted mother.

The flowers sang joyfully of her return, while her mother beamed with pride. Yet, the child that she had born and raised had changed while she was gone. She had grown into a goddess, one both beautiful and wise and the more that Demeter inquired about her experiences below, the more she came to worry that the life they knew was gone. She recalled a declaration Zeus had made from the heavens up above: in order for Persephone to return to the home and life she had known, the young goddess must be as pure as the day she left her mother's side. However, the ruby stain upon her lips spoke of the beauty's fate. Persephone had tasted of the fruit of life. It could not be erased.

Even so, Zeus loved his daughter too much to send her back to Hades without the hope of returning to her mother's abode above. So, each spring Persephone comes back with the flowers that pave her way, to tell the story of rebirth, hope and harmony. And each fall when she leaves again for the Underworld below, her mother mourns and winter comes, while she waits for her return. Yet, for Persephone there is no remorse. She looks forward to the time she spends as Hades' Queen and wife, and to guiding those who have lost their way to the next phase of their life.

Virgo Sexuality

I find that this topic is more often than not analyzed by someone who isn't a Virgo, nor sensitive to Virgo outlook, and is therefor rather inaccurate. This isn't unexpected because this is a subject Virgo keeps quite close to herself??_ not in an act of shy moral qualm, but rather, in an act of modesty.

Virgo is certainly not the prudish untouchable she's painted out to be. In fact she's quite the contrary. As with any other undertaking in her life, Virgo will not jump into sex without brimming with knowledge on the subject first. Virgo actually tends to discover and pursue sexuality at an age younger than her peers, experimenting in early years with a realist's view and intentions to test what the hype is about. Before any formal education on the matter, she knows every position in the book and in early practice this —virginal lady in waiting?? will often take the reins and put her knowledge into effect.

After this point it doesn't take very long for Virgo to have all the technicalities worked out. She see's sex for what it is; a skill. True to her nature, Virgo aims to perfect it. She measures it's values and takes satisfaction in her ability to master sex in it's practical aspects while twisting in that deep mindfulness and intuition to create a fervid connection (One reason Virgo??s often facilitate eye contact during sex). When her lover asks what she's smiling about after sex, Virgo??s short, sweet ?? You. ?? can often be translated to a satisfied, ?? Just look what I can do for you. Look how good I can make you feel. ?? With her dexterousness, vitality, intuition, sensitivity, perfectionism and unending will to please, Virgo makes an excellent lover for those lucky enough to have her.

On the the other hand, however, Virgo the —Pleaser?? is not quite as easy to please, where her peg as the undersexed member of the zodiac probably originates. Virgo is turned on by what she can do for you but if you can't return the favor, all is generally lost. To keep her interested, Virgo need??s a lover who is sensitive and precise, in tune to the little things that get Virgo going. (And, take note. It is all about the little things.) The reason for this sentiment is pretty universal - nothing turns Virgo on like the idea of her own arousal. As the maiden of the zodiac, she is very in touch with her body and it's presence. Her high standards hold true in all aspects including her body??s sexual response and if you can turn a Virgo on you may lay her down. The idea of her partner being able to reach her sexually on such a level maddens Virgo, and any coolness about receiving, or, —being taken??, she might have portrayed dissipates and makes way for a very willing mate. However, if Virgo is not satisfied sexually, she quickly looses interest. Sure, she can please you - but if there is no balance, you will lose her respect and Virgo will not put up with someone she doesn't respect. The Virgo coined to —dislike sex?? has no problem with sex. Her problem lays in the hands of the insufficient partner she cannot justify as worthy of wasted effort or time.

All this said, it is certainly not to convey Virgo doesn't withhold her trademark purity. Virgo??s intentions are never impure. She won't put up a front for you and won't take it from anyone else. Even a Virgo who??s only interested in casual sex will be completely clear with her intentions. She won't lower her standards for anyone and, again, Virgo will not sleep with someone she does not respect.

When a typical Virgo makes love it is a pure-minded, natural, healthy act. Virgo only enjoys sex when it is with someone who has gained Virgo's confidence.

Celibacy, for short or long periods, is not usually difficult for Virgo. In general, Virgoan's are looking for a spouse, not a one-night stand or an affair.

A Virgo who has not had his or her fragile sense of self undermined in youth will enjoy sex. The bedside library may include informative books on sex, because Virgos like to understand the finer details.

Virgo (male or female) tends to seduce with finesse, charm, and subtlety.

The fact that typical Virgoan instincts are chaste does not mean that Virgos are virgins. The Virgin of astrology is a symbol of self- improvement and fertility.

Virgos are typically loyal and will avoid ending a marriage or other permanent relationship whenever possible. However, in the long run, Virgos are sensible, practical people. If the Virgoan sense of fair play has been outraged, the Virgo will make a quick and final break, legally and in every other way.

It is rare for a typical Virgo to linger in a fading marriage. If sensible, intelligent discussion does not solve the problems, the Virgo soon makes up his or her mind to end it.

Reconciliation is not typical of Virgoan behavior. Pleading, tears, sentimentality, or a more aggressive approach will have no effect. Because the Virgoan has good self-discipline, the past is soon put aside.

However, if children are involved, the divorced Virgo will want to ensure that the children receive good educations.

To Virgo, love is not dramatic, emotional, or sentimental. A Virgo's love is devotion and will include love of family, friends, and those less fortunate than he or she.
