Virgo by Josephine Wall
Enter Virgo (August 23-September 22). Of course, true to form, this mutable Earth Sign wants everything to be perfect for you. That’s why the leaves on the trees change colour in September – they’ve been green all summer long – and to a Virgo, that’s a bit boring. Virgo has also turned down the heat just enough for you to enjoy a beautiful stroll in the park with a light sweater. A Virgo says, “Bring on the Indian Summer!”
Virgo…virginal? Ha! Many Virgos laugh at that stereotype. Besides, the chastity belt does have to come off sometime!
According to astrological folklore, Virgo was once the most worshipped sign in the Zodiac. For one, it is the sign that rules the harvest, agriculture and nature. Worship to the goddess of the harvest took place every year when the Sun was moving through Virgo, and the success of the harvest during Virgo’s reign determined how much food would be available during the winter months.
Secondly, Virgo is the only sign in the zodiac that resonates female energy – yes, even the scales are men! – which means that individuals born under this sign all embody a special kind of energy that has been worshipped since the beginning of time.
Virgos are complex and interesting people, partially because they are ruled by the planet Mercury which is the ruler of communication. Virgo likes good service: remembering birthdates, pet peeves, and making sure that everyone’s shirts are tucked in or their runny noses are wiped clean. Despite all this, a Virgo’s greatest potential generally lies dormant until it is summoned forth by a truly worthy challenge. This could be in the form of a relationship, coming out, or helping a friend in need (Virgos often have the best advice!)
Virgos rule all pets. It’s true that Virgos do tend to nag and fuss, but it’s out of love rather than harassment. Virgos do try to be kind and low-maintenance – but everyone has their limits! A Virgo will hit his or her limit when the world lets them down, promises get broken, and potentials are left unrealized.
Virgos love the idea of a soul mate, given their quest for perfection. On any other day, a Virgo will keep their wits about them. Careful, precise – some can even say picky – they don’t make a move before consulting their hearts and their minds (they can analyze everything!). But that all goes out the window when love comes along! Virgo is an ambitious lover, and you can expect sex with a Virgo to improve over time.
Happy Birthday, Virgo!
