Astrology has always been an interesting topic. Whether you follow it religiously, or read your horoscope for fun, there is a definite entertaining aspect to it. Although, even reading your sign as entertainment, there are some attributes that seem more than coincidental.
The sixth sign is Virgo. It is signified by Virgo the Virgin. It is unclear where the origins of the name come from. Yet, the virgin is in relation to the Virgin Mary. Pure and refined, they share the Virgin Mary's maternal instinct. Observant, those born under Virgo are at the happiest looking out for people.
Like Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces, Virgo is a Mutable sign. A Mutable sign are seen as double-bodies. This is a result of the signs being in between seasons. In the case of Virgo, it bridges Summer and Autumn in the Northern hemisphere. Flipping between movable and fixed, they also retain an element of nature.
Traditionally, Virgo is ruled by Mercury. Mercury was known as the messenger of the gods to ancient Romans. Astrologically, the planet pertains to the mind, or mentality. Principles such as communication, rationality and reasoning are signified by the planet. Although, contemporary astrologers say Virgo is ruled by Ceres, a dwarf planet just further out than Pluto in the solar system. Its status is unknown in astrology at this time.
In the realm of jobs and careers, Virgo achieves well in any kind of care work. With traits such as the maternal instinct, a la Virgin Mary, along with a dependable nature and practicality. Of a modest nature, Virgo can take good care of others, without wanting to take overt credit.
As with anything else in life, Virgo does have a downside. Their modesty can make others question it as self-doubt. Modesty and shyness makes Virgo mistaken for introverts. Virgos can be too conservative for their own good. Getting tied up with every fine detail, they don't like the prospect of taking risks.
It is only in Western astrology that star signs are linked to the elements. In the case of Virgo, it is the element of Earth. Stability and grounding, such as with the Earth, also pertain to Virgo. Earth is a very "physical" element. With this, Earth signs, like Virgo, have desire and need for physical security. Earth signs share this desire for security with the Water signs.
Romantic compatibility runs deep throughout the Zodiac and astrology. How one star sign can relate to another is an intriguing area. Seeing that Virgo lends a dependable nature, they look for this in others. They can find this in the other Earth signs, Taurus and Capricorn. The Water signs of Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer work well with Virgo. Earth is seen to "guide" Water to its ultimate goal. In return Water signs mould or release emotions for Earth signs.
So, Virgo, it seems, may not be as introverted or conservative than they seem. Casual observers, they like to see if everyone is in check and happy. Though, they may not be the first one to take a risk.
