Bear with me...I've read quite a few opinions on the 'secondary element' of signs.
It seems common to put 'air' as the as the secondary element of Virgo.
I greatly disagree, I have studied mythology quite a bit in recent history as well as meditated on astrology.

Here is my assertion.
Virgo is Earth Fire...why? Virgo is ruled by Vulcan and Mercury. Vulcan is a blacksmith, a man who controls molten lava in order to create great works of technology. Uniting fire and earth. Mercury is the sign that travels between all realms except under the sea. He is accredited with CREATING FIRE.
The Earth/Fire nature of Virgo is also reflected in the fact that, Taurus/Virgo is quite hit or miss. T inthe Virgo finds the Taurus too sensitive and often injures them...far more than Capricorn, who in my opinion is a less hurtful more stable relationship than Virgo/TAURUS. Virgo/Taurus is always intense, like fire and water.

Thus for all Earth Signs.
Capricorn = Earth/Air
and
Taurus = Earth/Water

I think Virgo restlessness to create, short attention span for interests, and lightning fast logic all reflect a fire element...THAT IS when compared to the slow moving other Earth signs...

What do you think?

Good topic but I have to disagree.

What makes you come up with the cap/tau associations?

The "secondary" argument is an anomaly because the "earth" sign association has nothing to do with the planetary ruler itself...correct? It's rooted in the sign's element which in a way is independent of the planet.

Venus was brought forth from the ocean and by virtue of that, I get how you would associate tau with water. But what about capricorn? It's ruler is saturn, agriculture, so wouldn't that make it earth/earth?

For virgo, you've elevated vulcan over mercury which doesn't make sense. Virgo is therefore earth/air.

I think the secondary argument would be far more accurate when examined on an individual basis and by virtue of that, a person's "secondary ruler" would be their ascendant which in laymen terms is our "Earth" sign. "Earth" is the only planet that does not rule any particular sign but each of us has an "Earth" placement (asc). So I think the asc is more valid as the secondary.

Irrational.

You are not the sum of your "parents" for if that was the case, Venus would also be fire. Each planet has its own identity and complexities. You claim to know astrology and yet, you know nothing of Mercury/Hermes. "He" is air...all the time.

Mercury IS air. Period.

You attribute a secondary element to these signs and offer no proof. You're entitled to your opinion but without any factual or intellectual basis, your spout infactual info and misinformation simply makes you an asshole.

No wonder virgo is so anal. Are you a virgin?

you stated that it is independent of the planet. secondary would be the indirect element not the direct element. mercury is the hottest planet and hermes is always depicted with being a trailblazer so the initial proposal is formed on gathering bits of information to form a sound and reasonable deduction.

the fact that virgo is mutable can also mean that all water air and fire adapt in shape of its container with much more sensitivity than solid earth. so to use this to say virgo or hermes IS air as secondary will fail here. you need to use all information to form a sound and logical deduction

i would have suggested water for virgo as secondary because of the mutability, the more sensitive would be air, the mo

@zeoblade, clearly you need to bone up on your astrology and mythology. you obviously know little of mercury/hermes with regard to mythology...nor does the OP.

the OP's argument related to planets, you are arguing qualities. in essence, you're both wrong.

astrology is what it is. falsely adapting established principles, critiquing them, presuming that you know what's best...ahh, virgo 😛
