Virgo (astrology)
Virgo (♍) is the sixth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Virgo. Inwestern astrology, the sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. In astrology, Virgo is considered a "passive", negative (introvert) sign. Virgo is traditionally ruled by the planet Mercury, but Ceres and several other planets have been suggested as the ruler of Virgo by some modern astrologers.[2][3][4] Being the sixth sign of the zodiac, Virgo has been associated with the astrological sixth house.
Individuals born when the Sun was in this sign are considered Virgo individuals. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun is in Virgo roughly from August 23 to September 23, leaving it at the moment ofautumnal equinox, by definition. Under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from September 17 to October 17.
[edit]Mythology
In Greek mythology ASTRAIA (or Astraea) was the virgin-goddess of justice. During the Golden Age she dwelt upon the earth with mankind, but was driven away by the lawlessness of the later Bronze Age. Zeus then placed her amongst the stars as the constellation Virgo. She was closely identified with Dike, the goddess of justice, and with Nemesis, the goddess of rightful indignation.
[edit]Compatibilities
Generally, the Virgo sign is considered to be compatible with other signs such as, Capricorn,Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio and Mutable signs such as, Gemini, Sagittarius and other Virgos.[5]These signs share an earthy demeanor and are believed to relate with each other on that merit.
There are many variables that determine compatibility in astrology, such as birth dates, birth months, birth years, position of a sign within the Sun, the Moon, Stars. The signs listed as compatible with Virgo do not reflect an individual profile or individual reading as interpreted within astrology, but rather reflect a general guideline and reference to compatibility as dictated by variables such as Qualities and Elements within the Zodiac.[5] The branch of astrology dealing with interpersonal compatibilities is called Synastry.
