August 23 – September 22
Element : Earth
Quality: Mutable
Ruling house: Sixth
Ruling planets: Mercury
Virgo is the sixth sign of the zodiac. This sign is associated usually with health, discipline, following the rules, daily chores and honesty. Virgo is rather patient than stubborn, if we compare its earthy quality with Taurus, for instance. It exerts a rather dry appearance, founded by logic and predictable outcomes.
Sometimes, Virgo natives can be overly obsessed with health or food issues, as well as with financial security. Their ruling planet, Mercury, gives here too a thorough and restless intelligence, but this time geared more towards safety than curiosity.
They proceed with caution in all their endeavors, especially in all sort of social relationships. That may make them appear shy, while this is not at all the case, they’re merely cautious. Their analytical side is always running in the background, comparing and classifying things. Purity, in all aspects, whether it’s about personal relationships or just business, is always high on their agenda. They’ll rather be right than rich.
As partners, they may be a little too clingy, and they surely make a lot of fuss over small stuff, but they’re also reliable and always ready to find a solution. They’re not the ones to leave, if things are going rough, but they’re also the ones that will say: “I told you so!”. Virgo are usually a pinnacle of stability but one must be careful not to load them with too much stuff or responsibilities, because, in the process of trying to make everything perfect, they may either get lost in the details, or drastically affect their health by overworking.
Virgo rules the sixth house of the zodiac.
