When Pandora was unable to resist the temptation to open the box and cast the curse on the human world, the gods abandoned Earth and departed for Heaven. Astrea, goddess of justice, innocence, and purity, saddened by greed, war, and men's neglect of her obligations to the gods, was the last to leave, taking refuge in the constellation of Virgo. The scales of Astrea form another constellation (Libra) to remind men of the importance of justice and law. Shining in heaven, Virgo reminds us of the virtue and justice that must reign in the world of Men.
