Virgo is called Kanyain Sanskrit. Kanya means ÒdaughterÓ or ÒvirginÓ.
Virgo is a Feminine Earth Sign. Virgo rules the bounty of nature when it is at
itÕs prime. In India, virgin daughters are considered much like the Earth
itself- full of the possibility of producing the future needs of everyone. Virgo
is innocent, beautiful, Earthy, and being ruled by Mercury, has connections
with learning. In fact, Virgo is the writers and editors sign to be sure. Persons
with significant mental planetary placements (Lagna, Moon, Sun or Mercury)
in Virgo tend to be writers, editors, communicators, etc.
The symbol of Virgo is a young girl seated in a boat, carrying books and fresh
cut grain from a field. These symbolize the nature of Virgo. Virgo rules
agriculture because of the fact that agriculture is based first and foremost on
the preparation of the soil. When the environment and soil are truly healthy
and good, then good things are grown in that soil.
The young girl in the boat is healthy, happy and wholesome. She is young,
and learning. Virgo rules that coquetish stage of learning where the person
feels an abundance of knowledge, and is proud of it. This is why itÕs good for
writers and editors. They like to use their exacting knowledge. This leads to
being ÒpickyÓ. Virgo as a sign is known most for producing very picky people
(which editors must be for example).
Cleanliness requires finding dirt and getting rid of it. Editing requires finding
mistakes and getting rid of them, and good farming requires finding things
which foul the process and getting rid of them. A beautiful young girl is
something easily polluted. A virgin is no longer a virgin after one sexual
encounter, so, Virgo as a sign is very particular about seemingly small things.
If you need somebody to be ÒanalÓ about something, then get a Virgo!
