Virgo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Virgo is an astrological sign, which is associated with the constellation Virgo. Under the tropical zodiac, Virgo is occupied by the
Sun from August 23 to September 22, and under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently from September 17 to October 17. The opposite sign
to Virgo is Pisces.
Virgo is the sixth sign of the Zodiac and associated with purity and service. Individuals born under this sign are thought to have
a diligent, analytical, self-sufficient, controlled, orderly, modest and intellectual character but one which is also prone to fussiness,
perfectionism, harsh criticism, and hypochondria. In terms of anatomy virgo is said to rule the abdominal region, large and small intestines,
spleen, solar plexus, lower lobes of the liver, pancreas, portal veins, umbilicus, hands, nails and carpal bones.
According to one interpretation, the Virgo constellation depicts Astraea, the virgin daughter of the god Zeus and the goddess Themis. Astraea
was known as the goddess of justice, and was identified as this constellation due to the presence of the scales of justice Libra nearby, and
supposedly ruled the world at one point with her wise ways until mankind became so callous she returned to skies disgusted.
Notable persons born under the Sign of Virgo include: Nas, Jimmy Fallon, Adam Sandler, Confucius, Mother Teresa, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe,
Dave Chappelle, Richard Gere, Xzibit, Leo Tolstoy, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Louis XIV, Elizabeth I, Edith Sitwell, Michael Jackson, D.H. Lawrence,
