v��d��e

Virgo�(♍) is the sixth�astrological sign�in the�Zodiac, originating from the�constellation of Virgo. Inwestern astrology, the sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the�precession of the equinoxes. Virgo is traditionally ruled by the planet�Mercury, but�Ceres�is its modern ruler and several other planets have been suggested as the ruler of Virgo by some modern astrologers.^[2][3][4]�Being the sixth sign of the zodiac, Virgo has been associated with the astrological sixth�house.

Individuals born when the�Sun�was in this sign are considered Virgo individuals. Under the�tropical zodiac, the Sun is in Virgo roughly from August 23 to September 23, leaving it at the moment ofautumnal equinox, by definition. Under the�sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from September 16 to October 15.

[edit]Mythology

See�Virgo Mythology

In�Greek mythology�Astraea�was the virgin-goddess of justice. During the�Golden Age�she dwelt upon the earth with mankind, but was driven away by the lawlessness of the later�Bronze Age. Zeus then placed her amongst the stars as the�Virgo constellation. She was closely identified with�Nike, the goddess of victory, and with�Nemesis, the goddess of rightful indignation.

[edit]Compatibilities

Generally, the Virgo sign is considered to be compatible with other Earth signs such as�Taurus&�Capricorn.�^[5].

There are many variables that determine compatibility in astrology, such as birth dates, birth months, birth years, position of a sign within the Sun, the Moon, Stars. The signs listed as compatible with Virgo do not reflect an�individual profile�or�individual reading�as interpreted within astrology, but rather reflect a general guideline and reference to compatibility as dictated by variables such as�Qualities�and�Elements�within the Zodiac.^[5]�The branch of astrology dealing with interpersonal compatibilities is called�Synastry.
