VirgoVirgo Zodiac Sign Astrology Characteristics and Personality
By Dee Cohen

The Virgo Zodiac Sign is an astrological sign which is
associated with the constellation Virgo. It is found under
the tropical zodiac and is occupied by the sun from 23
August to 22 September each year. The opposite sign to Virgo
is Pisces.


It is the sixth sign of the Zodiac and is associated with purity and service. Those individuals who are born under this sign are thought to be diligent, analytical, self-sufficient, controlled, orderly, modest and intellectual. But they are also prone to being fussy, a perfectionist, harsh with their criticism, can be cold towards others and may be hypocondriacs.


In terms of the body, Virgo is supposed to rule the abdominal region, both the large and small intestines as well as the spleen, solar plexus (a complex network of
nerves to be found in the abdomen), the lower lobes of a persons liver, the pancreas, portal veins, umbilicus, hands, nails and finally carpal bones.

Traditionally the sign is thought to be ruled by the planet Mecury, but during the late 19th Century and early 20th Century it was speculated that the planet Vulcan (which is thought to be located near Mercury) is in fact its true planetary ruler. Currently the vast majority of astrologers still think of Mercury as the planetary ruler for this sign.


Physically those people who are born under the sign of Virgo tend to have a graceful figure, a roundish head, full and delicately shaped lips, perfect teeth, a clear complexion, large and clear eyes and are characterized by small, symmetrical and refined features. They also often have a high forehead, a thin nose as well as thin eyebrowsand coarsely textured hair. Many people who were born under this sign are usually thought to be of slightly above average height. Of course there are just generalizations and the moon sign and ascendant signs are very important as well.
