Virgo in Mythology

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.

Negative Energies of the Sign Virgo

Virgos can become controllers and critics. Their enormous logical thinking skills, coupled with high standards of integrity and honesty, set the bar too high for some people. 

The native of this sign does not deal well with change or disorder. Your excessive need for control is a strategy to avoid chaos and disorder. Detailing everything is a way of mastering events and thus reducing uncertainty and risk. Some signs can see in this behavior control and the need for personal control. However, Virgos behave this way because they are afraid of being vulnerable. They are afraid of being deceived or of failing because they have not been attentive and cautious enough. 

Although your analytical ability is one of your strengths, it can become a headache. When Virgos can't make a decision because they need to confirm and re-confirm, it can exhaust their team. The fact that they have a negative view of life does not facilitate Virgo's position on its unfavorable path. The need for control is accentuated and it lives in a permanent state of anxiety for fear of what could possibly go wrong.

Your Sun sign is the sign of the Zodiac (Aries, Taurus, etc.) in which the Sun was at the time you were born. The start and end dates for the 12 signs are approximate, as the day of the month when the Sun enters the various signs can change from year to year. On the other hand, it is impossible to pretend that everyone who is born on the same date has the same personality, thinks alike, or has similar relationships and experiences. The star sign is a clue to unveil the nature and the most relevant traits of the personality, while being generic and partial. Only your birth chart will allow you to obtain individualized information about your way of being and potential for development.
