VIRGO
GLYPH / SYMBOL: Virgin
Virgo is represented by the Virgin because you can be naturally shy and reserved. Being an introverted sign, you can shy away from manic situations which are anxiety provoking. You strive to protect your modesty at all times as you want to come across pure, innocent and dignified. Your Glyph which is the ‘M’ with the tail pulling in on itself, represents the sexual organs being closed off, hence the Virgin.
RULING PLANET: Mercury
Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury and Mercury rules our minds, thoughts and dictates how we communicate. Virgos you are refined thinkers...or just particular. A Virgo will pick and choose what information to take on and only if it has a benefit to you. You like to waste no time and for everything you do, has a well thought out reason behind it. You can be fixated on the small stuff because you enjoy paying extreme attention to the little details. Where some signs are all about the bigger picture, you can tend to get stuck in a rut because your mind loves to go over and over every tiny thing that has happened to you that day which ultimately leads to stress about all aspects and possibilities for the future. You are the definition of the over thinkers! But why? Because a Virgo strives for perfection. Due to your very high standards, you want to do everything to your best ability.
ELEMENT: Earth
Being an Earth sign you are very practical, down to earth and like putting yourselves to good use by servicing others. Want something done...ask your Virgo pal. While being grounded and reserved, when asked big favours you just get on with it, do a great job and don't shout about it afterwards. However always remember to thank your Virgo friend, a little recognition and appreciation means they will always want to help you in the future. Virgo’s are the constant busy bodies in the background, running around after everybody else and always on a mission to correct or rectify something.
MODE: Mutable
Being a mutable sign, you experience mutability through the skill of multi-tasking! You will constantly have 100 things on the go at one time and seem effortlessly capable of handling it all. Mutable means you go with the flow and adapt to your surrounding making you are the most flexible and accommodating Earth Sign. Due to your personality of always wanting to service others, you tend to be at the beck and call of everyone around you which is why you can bend over backwards to help others.
BODY PART: Digestive System and Intestines
Virgo rules the body part of the intestines which function is to process and absorb the goodness while expelling the badness...and this is how you live your life; assessing, sorting, de-cluttering and perfecting everything in your path. Virgo's predecessor, Leo, is all about living life in the moment in full on party mode which can often end up quite messy. But Virgo sweeps in afterwards to clean it all up and restore everything back to how it should be...with improvements! You thrive on deconstructing, organising and repairing. You love good hygiene, health and habits. Where the intestines cleanse inwardly, your strict hygiene standards cleanse’s outwardly, so things must be clean! Strongly valuing good health, Virgo's will normally take up exercise and eat well to maintain a healthy life style. You tend to like exercise such as yoga which is good for the body and mind which is important in order to calm your thoughts and anxieties at the same time. You welcome ritualistic activities like meditation because you are so good at sticking to routines.
