Virgo is the sixth sign of the Zodiac and it is indicated by a Virgin holding a sheaf of wheat. Its symbol is that of Scorpio with a checkmark, Scorpio representing sex and the checkmark meaning protection against it. Like the five previous signs and their symbols, the legend behind the Virgin symbol is interesting and informative. At the end of the Golden Age, it is said, the goddess Aetraed was the last of the immortals to withdraw from the Earth. She had remained the only divinity among mankind working patiently to intercede with the other deities for the human beings who had trespassed the decrees of the gods. The actions of mankind, however, became so atrocious that at last she too had to leave the Earth. But she did not forsake those whom she tried to help. In old pictures she is shown as Ceres, or Demotes, holding a sheaf of wheat in her arms, with poppies and grapes adorning her flowing hair. In ancient times, after the grape harvest of September a feast was held in her honor.
Ceres was the daughter of Satun and Rhea. As the betrothed of Jupiter, she became the mother of Persephene who was kidnapped by Pluto, the keeper of the underworld regions. Finally Ceres appealed to Pluto, but she could not manage a full release for her daughter. She had to agree to a compromise whereby Persephene would spend half of every year with her mother, and the remaining six months with Pluto. In a sense this explains the Nature's fertility as well as dormancy, six months of verdant growth in the temperate zones, and the remainder of the year without the strength to impart warmth to the seeds and foliage of the Earth. Thus for the association of Ceres with growing things, early civilizations connected her with Mother Nature, and in the heavens depicted her as the celestial virgin, or Virgo. She represented everything pure and noble.
Virgo is the sign of honesty, pure health, food production, productive labor and the labor force. The sun usually enters this sign on August 24th. Virgo is of the Earth element, mutable quality, and maternal trinity. Some keywords are chastity, purity, assimilation. In nature, this sign is feminine or negative, passive, silent, receptive, dormant. Some favorable attributes are: altruistic, just, clever, intuitive, oratorical, self-respecting. Some unfavorable characteristics are: worrying too much and demonstrative when upset. A Virgo makes a good friend, loyal worker, seeker after the facts, good mathematician, critical and exciting. Virgo is the critic, the analyzer, the servant, it is the sign that rules statistics figures, and details. Virgo is the petty side of life and is the workhouse of the zodiac. Virgos are happy only when working. The continuous desire to work need not necessarily be constructive for they can do the same routine duty day after day; it means many times, only that they must be at it. They will perform the same routine job again and again, compulsively, unaware that they have finished the chore.
In employment, he generally succeeds in any line paralleling the affairs of this birth sign, or the interests of the house in which the Sun finds itself in his horoscope. In alliances, such as business, fraternal and marriage, he gets along well with those born under his own sign, or one that is opposite, trine to it or sextile: Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Cancer. For marriage the Sun-Moon relationship is excellent. Decanate division shows that those born when the Sun was in the first decanate (ten degrees) of Virgo have a good mentality can tackle gigantic tasks, achievement. The second decanate: possess a great deal of experience, mind is easily assimilated and a great deal of talent for diplomacy, great temptations are likely to come; excellent power of discernment and compassion, love of worldly honor, very susceptible to the allurements of the flesh. Third decanate: work in behalf of others, successful in science without a thought for reward; forsakes everything for duty. The essential dignities of Mercury, planetary ruler of Virgo are, it governs Gemini and Virgo and is exalted in Aquarius. The Debilities are, it is in its detriment when in Sagittarius and Pisces and in its fall when in Leo. In the mundane astrology, Virgo rules the harvest, the working classes, armed services, animals and farm livestock, the general health of the public, ecology, together with Taurus it is inherently tied in with the country's gross national product.
