Azra’s Astrology: Virgo the Virgin

Humans have had millennia to really think about these signs and the different correlations to them. There’s so much that even the ones I am presenting aren’t even close to everything involved with the sign in question. There’s so much more like what body parts, what tarot card, flowers, crystals, you get the idea. Use this as a jumping off point and do your own research. I am sure there’s a specific pizza associated with each of these signs too. So here we go. The sixth zodiac sign is Virgo.

This zodiac sign is all about the harvest, even back in the days of Babylon and through the Greeks and the Romans. There are various goddesses associated with Virgo- Shala, Demeter, Ceres… but here’s the kicker. NONE OF THEM WERE VIRGINS! So why Virgo? I will never understand why a virgin has so many ties to fertility and harvests. It makes little to no sense! You want fertility and abundance, go with the non-virgin! You’ll probably get better results.

I digress.

Virgos are the librarians of the zodiac. They are smart, articulate, and have a very precise way of organizing everything so-put-that-down-right-now-or-you-will-completely-ruin-the-whole-system-you-ignorant-clod! Seriously, don’t mess with anything that they have organized or you will definitely lose a hand. While most Virgos are happy to lend a hand.

Little known fact about Virgos- they are worry warts. Really! They over think and over analyze and completely blow the littlest thing out of proportion. They will obsess over the slightest gesture or perceived slight. If not addressed, this worry can blossom into full blown criticism of not only the other person, but themselves as well. It takes a lot of reassurance and work to be friends with a Virgo.

What’s more, it’s important to keep your Virgo busy and provide many enrichment opportunities when they start to feel stagnated. Trust me, it’s better to set up things for them to organize and make into a routine than letting them find that sort of stuff on their own. You could come back to your home and find that you’ve moved because there wasn’t adequate shelf space for your growing Pop collection. 

The bottom line is that these people need to feel like they are helping someone with something at all times. So if you get involved with one, make sure you have a hefty to-do list.

Stop being a hoarder and clean up your mess. It doesn’t become you.

It’s time to change things up. But don’t take my word for it- call your local psychic to confirm!

Virgo                   (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Get out of town today. Do it! Don’t ask questions, take a Gemini and just go!

Have the confidence to challenge those who think they know everything. You need the conflict.

Pay attention to your dreams because they are trying to tell you something. When in doubt, consult a dream dictionary.
