Virgo - August 23 to September 22 Signs of the Zodiac

Symbol: the Virgin
The key to the understanding of Virgo lies in the symbol of the Virgin. This is not a passive, feeble virgin, but rather a form of the earth mother, the ancient fertility goddess. The virgin
in this sense is pure, but also robust, fertile and potent. Virgo can be one of the most practical and productive of signs, and is prepared to sacrifice its own interests in order to
complete its allotted tasks. It is above all a sign of service and self-sacrifice.
