Virgo - August 23 – September 22
The symbol for this sign is the virgin with sheaves of wheat in her hands. The sheaves represent the wisdom harvested in the fields of experience.
Keywords here are Methodical, Service, Attention to detail, Discrimination.
For these people work is of paramount importance. They constantly seek knowledge that will help them gain some sort of control.
Virgos are meticulous in their work, careful and efficient but sometimes tending to never finish a task because it is never quite “good enough”.
They like to create order out of confusion, and although they value work highly they are unlikely to allow people to make unreasonable demands on them.
Virgos analyze everything. Sometimes they become so taken with trivialities that they become blind to the significance of the whole issue. Eventually they learn to discriminate between what is essential and what is trivial.
Sometimes the brilliant intellect can be accompanied by considerable criticism and there is a need to learn to be dispassionate about their own performance and the performance of others. They are capable of great self-denial if they feel the cause is worthy.
