Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Virgo is an earth sign historically represented by the
goddess of wheat and agriculture, an association that speaks to Virgo’s
deep-rooted presence in the material world. Virgos are logical, practical, and
systematic in their approach to life. This earth sign is a perfectionist at
heart and isn’t afraid to improve skills through diligent and consistent
practice. Virgo rules the digestive system, which makes these earth signs
especially attuned to the ingredients that make up a whole — in food and in
everything else. They're hyper-aware of every detail.
Virgo is governed by Mercury, the messenger planet of
communication. Though Mercury also rules Gemini, these two signs are radically
different: Gemini is about output and expression, whereas Virgo is about input
and processing. A Virgo deals with information like a computer, transforming
even the most jumbled set of information into organized, clear concepts. Though
Virgos long to be meticulous in all pursuits, they must remember that
constantly chasing after the ideal can be destructive when applied to self or
others. Beauty exists within our imperfections and it’s important for Virgos to
learn that flaws are not defects.
Above all else, Virgos want to help. They are kind, gentle,
and supportive friends and lovers who use their incredible intellect and resourcefulness
to problem-solve. Virgo's opposite sign, Pisces, offers guidance through
spirituality, but Virgos want to assist on a practical level. These earth signs
are always striving to provide workable solutions and improve broken systems.
Methodical, committed, and hardworking, they make excellent teachers, healers,
editors, and musicians.
