Virgo Poem

found this thought it would be appreacited here

The Virgo is of Earth??s Element-
Depicted with a flower in her hand
Based on the Pentagram, its petals are
Linked closely to the magic Penta-star.

As nameless goddess once at Babylon
She was depicted sitting on a throne.
And Egypt showed her forth as goddess —Isis??-
Petitioned, and implored in need and crisis.

Her —Spica?? sigils, - ears of corn or wheat
Adorned her garb and curled round her feet,
And sacrificed to her was lamb or goat
If famine overwhelmed the land, or drought

The V-shaped crossing on a head of grain
Resemble bandages that do constrain-
Its spirals going forth and in reverse
Support the broken arm and lift the curse.

She is the sixth of symbols zodiacal,
Reliable, sincere, methodical,
Her color is a gold-brown russet-red,
Her ears of wheat or corn make finest bread.

Vettius Valens* did with her consult
And says she has a fling for the occult,
And in assemblies has her special niche,
But is a spendthrift that can overreach.

As polar opposite of Pisces, she
Does analyze with sharp acuity;
Is independent, deft and practical,-
Her favored music form - the MADRIGAL

Concerned with many details, Virgo she
Is not to blame, but her Lord Mercury,-
Her WILL gives over to cool reason's sway
Who keeps vain fantasies and dreams at bay.

Her symbol is the cube, I know not why,
For mathematics and algebra high,
Great Pytagoras and geometry-
All the above are not my cup of tea.

Her eyes are sparkling with intelligence,
Her judgment keen, and great her competence
She vibes with dreamy Pisces very welll,
And has a stake with them, so seers tell.

Her special stone and gem is the Opal,
Her single mindedness,- proverbial,
This latter attribute of Virgo is
The sacred stone to crack analysis.

Mutable is Virgo's quality,
Who keenly analyzes poetry.
Her Spica Star a-gleaming, Virgo lures
Fair Minnesingers, bards and Troubadours.

Best wishes to all Virgoans!
