The symbol of Virgo is the Virgin. This mutable earth sign is both adaptable and practical. Virgo is a sign of individuality following the creative will of Leo. The grandiose Leo traits which express as generosity, drama, and pride, are resolved by Virgo's saving, criticizing, and humility. Leo's leadership is served by Virgo, but generalities are acutely analyzed with discrimination.
Virgo is the last of the subjective signs of spring and summer and represents purification of self and preparation for relations with others. Thus Libra the sign of marriage follows the sign of the Virgin. Mercury is the significant planet giving Virgos youth, quickness, competitiveness and excellent minds. In this earth sign these are expressed in scientific analysis, discernment in evaluation, and a lifelong thirst for learning.
The self-expression of Virgo is I ANALYZE. The mind takes precedence over the emotions, because it tends to take everything apart piece by piece to see how it works. The Virgo asks many questions and can assimilate each piece of information. The Virgo becomes hung up when this critical faculty turns negative in fault finding, skepticism, cynicism, and judging people. To avoid this, observe to learn for yourself rather than to condemn. The intense penetration of Virgos' thought enables them to handle the minutest details.
Virgos do love deeply and make good companions in subtle ways. Their love is more for goodness and truth than for beauty. Underneath that ever active mind there are often passionate romantic feelings longing for expression which are usually sublimated in devoted work and may be unknown to closest friends and even the Virgo.
The story of Eve in the garden eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, describes in myth the Virgo's loss of innocence and purity, and the psychological problems and work which knowledge brings.
Virgos may carry secrets and entice by veiling and unveiling. Thus clothes and lack of them can be associated with Virgos. Even Virgo men will have the ability to sew, and Virgos can be excellent cooks. The stomach and intestines and consequently digestion and assimilation are associated with Virgo. Health relates to Virgo, as they excel at correction, purification, cleanliness, and making things whole and perfect. Virgos are naturally modest and humble. Virgo men are often shy, and Virgo women may be mysterious and earth-mother types.
Virgos love nature not just as scientists, but because their consciousness is like a paradise which becomes aware of knowledge and then must be cultivated into a garden to purify itself from weeds of negativity.
Virgos are conscientious workers and know that the greatest work is service. They realize that they will reap what they sow, and the wisest of them are devoted servants of God. Spiritually their biggest obstacle is the tendency to judge others by good and evil, instead of letting God judge all and practicing love in action. Virgo seeks perfection.
