\"Virginia<\/a>
Virginia to me is the living essence of Virgo. She possesses wisdom that reveals how challenging her life has been, coupled with passionate faith and an intensity of mind that verges on intimidating. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today is the first full day that the Sun is in Virgo. In German, the word for Virgo is Jungfrau — simply, young woman. We don’t know if she’s a virgin. Virginity itself is elusive; it’s more an idea than a reality, or at least we can say that it has many definitions. Unless she is pregnant, whether a young woman has or has not made love is something that she alone might be privy to.<\/p>\n

Virgo, a mutable sign and an earth sign, is traditionally associated with grains, food store houses, and dairy: in essence, with food. Her time of year is the time of the harvest, so this would make sense. In modern astrology we associate Virgo with healing, mental activity, concepts, ideas, people who like to work and who work well, and with service professions such as teaching, nursing and alternative medicine.<\/p>\n

The mythology of this sign is more complicated; the myths that surround the signs are often the oldest and most cryptic. Wikipedia sums up the chaos, or is it unity: “Who exactly Virgo was considered to represent is uncertain; in history, it has been associated with nearly every prominent goddess<\/a>, including Ishtar<\/a>, Isis<\/a>, Cybele<\/a>, and Athena<\/a>, as well as with Mary the Mother of Jesus<\/a>. Virgo may also feature, along with Ursa Major<\/a>, and Ursa Minor<\/a>, as part of the source of the myth of Callisto<\/a>, either as Callisto herself, or as Hera<\/a>. Persephone<\/a> (who in some mythologies, notably the Eleusinian Mysteries<\/a>, was considered to be a form of Demeter<\/a>) is often mentioned as well, Virgo being visible mainly in the spring months when she was believed to have risen from the underworld.”<\/p>\n
