Virgo is an astrological sign associated with the constellation Virgo. Under the tropical zodiac, Virgo is occupied by the Sun from August 23 to September 22, and under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently from September 17 to October 17. The opposite sign to Virgo is Pisces. Virgo is the only zodiacal sign represented by a female.

Mythology

According to one interpretation, the Virgo constellation depicts Astraea, the virgin daughter of the god Zeus and the goddess Themis. Astraea was known as the goddess of justice, and was identified as this constellation due to the presence of the scales of justice (Libra) nearby, and supposedly ruled the world with her wise ways until mankind became so callous that she returned to the skies, disgusted.

Characteristics

Individuals born under this sign are thought to be highly intelligent, logical, practical, realistic, nurturing, devoted, uninhibited, caring, loving, self-sacrificing, quiet, considerate, protective, and loyal. They can be prone to coldness and the inability to be demonstrative; can be calculating, hard-edged, overly critical, perfectionist, judgmental, compulsive, and vain.

Relations with other element signs

The Virgo is part of the Earth Signs along with the Taurus, and Capricorn.

Earth signs are said to be attracted to water signs because the two share qualities of acquisitiveness, retentiveness, and self-protectiveness. The earth signs supposedly feel that the water signs will nourish them, whilst water signs supposedly feel that the earth signs offer them the emotional security they desperately want. Whilst water is considered compatible with earth, water signs supposedly do not share much of the earth signs' practicality and the earth signs supposedly often view water signs' idealism as quite unrealistic, sometimes even fanciful. Earth signs supposedly find air signs fascinating because they can be attracted by their strange thoughts and share their intellectual tendencies. However, earth signs supposedly believe air signs to be "up in the clouds" and trying to put forward ideas that never will work in practice. Moreover, the severe detachment and insensitivity of the air signs are qualities the earth signs will eventually find tiresome and offensive. They see fire signs as simply too careless and forceful to be of any use.

Miscellaneous

In mundane or political astrology, Virgo is linked with Turkey, Greece, Brazil, Uruguay, and the Caribbean.

The following items are also traditionally associated with Virgo:

Exaltation

Virgo hath the name of the barren Sign, for Mayds of themselves produce no Births &c.
