Virgo

Ruler – Mercury; earth element, mutable, yin

Virgo the Virgin is a sign that reflects many of the best traits of humanity – productivity, love and respect for the earth, a good work ethic, service to others, care-taking, and scholarship. Virgo is harvesting season, and this sign likes to get results, rewards, and appreciation for efforts. It’s detail-oriented and skilled at fostering cooperation to achieve goals. Virgos choose partners carefully and may settle down later in life. 

Mercury rules and exalts in Virgo, while Venus is in fall. Virgo’s challenges include being hyper-critical or too picky, avoiding analysis paralysis and an excessive focus on bodily health.
