The nature of the Virgin

Virgo is a mutable earth sign, ruled by Mercury. Changeable means: it adapts and improves. Earth means: It thinks practically. Mercury gives her an analytical, precise mind.

People with the Sun in Virgo observe carefully before acting. They notice errors, inconsistencies and opportunities for improvement, often quicker than others. There is no pettiness behind this, but rather the desire for things to work well and people to feel good.

Virgo likes to help, specifically. She brings order to chaos, finds the solution to a practical problem and thinks about the little things that make the difference. Many people of this sign also have a keen sense of their own body and what is good for it.

Virgo's strengths

• Care: Whatever Virgo does, she does thoroughly.
• Analytical view: She recognizes errors and connections before they become a problem.
• Willingness to help: She supports others practically and without fuss.
• Reliability: You can rely on their promises.
• Modesty: She puts the matter above herself.
• Willingness to learn: She wants to continually improve herself and her work.

Where the Virgin stands in her own way

Virgo's close look is often directed most strictly at herself. She sees everything that is not yet perfect and hardly notices her successes. She puts praise into perspective, but she carries mistakes with her for a long time.

Worries and brooding are also part of this sign. If she doesn't have everything in view, she becomes restless. Your advice to others may sound more critical than it is intended, and the desire to do everything right sometimes becomes a burden.

This is how the virgin grows beyond herself

• Good enough to allow: Not everything has to be perfect to be good.
• See successes: In the evening, write down three things that worked. Your closer look can also capture the good.
• Package criticism in a friendly way: Start with what worked. Then your message will be better received.
• Park your worries: What's on paper doesn't have to stay in your head.

Virgo in love

In love, Virgo is reserved and loyal. She slowly opens up and shows affection through actions rather than big words: she cares, thinks along and is there when it matters.

She wants a counterpart who is reliable, keeps agreements and recognizes her quiet signs of love. When she feels safe, she shows a subtle sense of humor and a warmth that not everyone suspects of her.

Virgos often get along well with other earth signs (Taurus, Capricorn) and with water signs (Cancer, Scorpio). Pisces, her opposite sign, brings softness and imagination into her life. The entire horoscope shows how two people really work together, for example in Kombin or in the Relationship analysis.

Virgo at work

At work, Virgo impresses with their accuracy and expertise. It improves processes, keeps track of details and works reliably. She particularly enjoys tasks that require precision and genuine usefulness.

Many Virgos can be found in healthcare, administration and organization, research, quality assurance or in professions where they help others in a practical way. It is helpful for them to learn that not every task needs the same level of fine-tuning.

Virgo in friendship and family

As a girlfriend or boyfriend, Virgo is attentive and helpful. She remembers little things, gives good advice and lends a helping hand when help is needed.

Virgo ensures order and structure in the family. She organizes, plans and takes care of what others forget. She can learn to let things go and take care of herself.

Myth and constellation

The virgin is often associated in tradition with Astraea, the goddess of justice, who was the last of the gods to leave the earth when people became too quarrelsome. Other traditions see her as Demeter, the goddess of the harvest. In the constellation it holds an ear of wheat, which is why its brightest star is called Spica, Latin for ear of wheat.

This fits with the time when the sun moves through this sign: it is harvest time when things are collected, sorted and prepared. In astrology, “Virgo” represents the sixth section of the zodiac.

More than your zodiac sign

Your zodiac sign shows where the sun was when you were born. How you feel describes your moon sign, how you act describes your ascendant. A Virgo with a Moon in Sagittarius appears more relaxed, while one with a Moon in Capricorn appears even more thorough. More on this Moon in Virgo, at Ascendant Virgo and in the overview Planets in the signs.

When are you a virgin?

The Sun is in Virgo from approximately August 23rd to September 22nd, at the time of harvest. The exact changeover days vary by up to one day from year to year. If you were born around August 22nd and 23rd or September 22nd and 23rd, your birth time decides.
