About Virgo
Virgo Season begins August 23, setting off the final phase of summer. The sun’s heat and light are beginning to mellow and surrender to the coolness of the upcoming Autumn. Virgo’s season is when nature’s abundance and fertility become ready for harvesting, lending to their earthy, caring, organizational qualities. Yes, Virgos are known for being picky and critical, and they can be. But their attention to detail is for a reason: to help others. Virgos are born to serve and it brings them great joy!
To the ancients, the constellation of Virgo appeared to be a winged woman carrying wheat. In many ancient cultures she was considered the “Queen of the Sky”, being the largest constellation. She was linked to purity, fertility, agriculture and the harvest. Babylonians associated her with the goddess Shala, who ruled fertility and harvest. In Greek mythology, Virgo was connected with Demeter, the ruler over the earth and agriculture, and her daughter Persephone, who returned from the underworld for part of the year when the Earth was barren. It was the ancient Greek way of explaining the changing of the seasons. In Ancient Rome, Virgo was related to Vesta, the goddess of domestic life, dedicated to purity and service. The Vestal Virgins dedicated their lives to Vesta by tending to her hearth and caring for people. The Virgin represents Virgo’s purity and acts of service, and Virgo is still connected to planting, growing, harvesting and medicinal herbs.
The Hermit tarot card relates to Virgo, sharing the earthy, contemplative, and analytical energies of this sign. The Hermit retreats from life to go within for self-reflection. This card can also appear as a warning that we have over extended ourselves in overdoing. This is a reminder of what action we can take when we are at the end of a cycle in the still point of self-discovery before the next thing.
In classical astrology, Mercury was assigned rulership of both Gemini and Virgo. Virgo was thought to be the night home of Mercury, a conscientious and detail-focused earth sign that allows Mercury to express its most swift and easy functions like analysis, communication, and dexterity. As the voice of clarity and precision, Virgo’s mantra is: I analyze. The sense of purpose is about organizing, so our lives can flow and operate efficiently. They rule the area in life that we approach in an organized, contentious and efficient way.
Virgo’s affinity for being efficient, skilled and resourceful are related to the structure and tangibility of the Earth element. They tend to be practical and grounded, keeping it 100% real.
