Star Signs

Are you a true Virgo?

Characteristics:

A Virgo likes routine, which enables them to be practical and industrious workers. They are also very good at absorbing information.
On a personal level, Virgo's are at their happiest when looking out for other people.
Virgo's can also be mistaken for introverts, as they are very shy and modest, partly due to an awareness of their own short-comings.
Although modesty is a known aphrodisiac, few Virgo's will react to any love interest without some self doubt.
The negative side to their character can also find them too conservative, and weighed down by the details of a project.

Compatibility:

For centuries the zodiac elements have been used to describe basic personality traits in human nature, and this can be quite accurate in predicting which star signs will be most compatible.
Virgo's are known for their dependable natures and it's this trait they look for in others. They will find this in the other earth signs, (Taurus and Capricorn). The water signs of Pisces, Scorpio, and Cancer are also compatible with earth signs.
The nature of earth signs means they are often 'guiding' water signs towards achieving their goals, while in turn, water signs can help mould or release emotions in an earth sign.

Symbol: The Virgin

"She has a tongue which charms, a mastery of words, and not so much wealth as the impulse to investigate the causes and effects of things." (Manilius, 1st Century)

The true origins of the name are unknown, but Virgo has most often been associated with the symbol of a virgin, or specifically the Virgin Mary.
As the sixth sign of the zodiac, Virgo is known not only as the god of fertility, but of agriculture too, as its sign falls in harvest time.

Element: Earth

Linking a star sign to an element occurs mainly in Western astrology, with Virgo being an Earth sign.
Earth is also a strong indicator of stability and grounding in a star sign. Another buzzword associated with Earth signs is 'physical', which refers to their nature and a need for physical security.
They share a need for security with water signs, but these signs seek it on an emotional level.

Star Stone: Sapphire

A Sapphire is considered to be one of the luckiest star stones, unless you are unfaithful in a relationship.
Legend has it that a Sapphire losing its shimmer indicates impurity. Legends also state that Sapphires were prized tools for ancient priests when they were predicting the future.
