Virgo

August 23 – September 23

Virgo is Latin for virgin. The Greeks and Romans associated Virgo with their goddess of wheat, Demeter-Ceres who is the mother of Persephone-Proserpina. Alternatively, she was sometimes identified as the virgin goddess Iustitia or Astraea, holding the scales of justice in her hand as the constellation Libra.

The Virgo analytical ability is amazing. A Virgo can seem quite talkative. They also have a penchant for books, magazines, and writing. There is an omnipresent critical eye for organization and detail. This can come across as an irresistible urge to improve everything and everyone. Not all Virgo’s are neat freaks, though, and some can be quite sloppy, disorganized, and irresponsible. They’ve got this hypocrisy thing, don’t they? Like a drill sergeant gone haywire, a Virgo can address someone’s bad habits but then they have the same bad habits themselves. They are us usually health conscious and not overly competitive. Virgo may be a craftsman, seamstress, or designer. Virgos usually have a fond interest in cartography, travel, or philately.
