Happy Birthday Virgos!
Virgo is the sixth astrological sign in the zodiac between
the dates August 23 and September 22. The sign is associated with Astraea. In
Greek mythology, Astraea was the last immortal to abandon Earth at the end of
the Silver Age, when the gods fled to Olympus – hence the sign's association
with Earth. She became the constellation of Virgo. The constellation Virgo has many different origins, depending on mythology.
Most myths view Virgo as a virgin maiden who carries her
associations with wheat. In Greek and Roman
mythology, the constellation is related to Demeter, the Greek
goddess of the harvest, or her daughter Persephone, queen of the Underworld.
Others associate it with the myth of Parthenos.
Symbol: Maiden
Virgos are known for their
meticulous attention to detail and their deep sense of humanity, which makes
them one of the most caring signs of the zodiac. They are often
misunderstood, not because they lack the ability to express themselves, but
because they don't always trust their feelings and tend to prioritize reason
over emotions. They lead organized lives, and even when things become chaotic,
their goals and dreams are still strictly defined in their mind. Their concern
for details is so strong that they can become overly critical and concerned
about matters that others may not care much about, constantly worried that they
might have missed something that cannot be fixed. Virgos has a
well-developed sense of speech and writing, as well as other forms of
communication. Many Virgos may choose to pursue careers as writers,
journalists, and artists, but their desire to help others makes them natural
caregivers who feel a sense of purpose in helping others.
Virgo is the most modest of all the Zodiac signs. Virgos are nurturing, calming, organized, and rule-oriented—focused on order versus chaos. However, Virgos can also get stressed to bring order wherever they may be. Virgos worries and strives for perfection. They see what’s wrong with everything and can sometimes seem critical; however, it’s more about their desire to deliver on high standards.
