The Virgo Horoscope

Our delineation of the Virgo horoscope follows a very logical method, based on ancient basic and archetypal principles. It's NOT about stereotypes.

Every zodiac sign is the result of the so-called Quadruplicities or Modes (Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable signs) and Triplicities (related to the four elements: Fire, Air, Water and Earth).

The Virgo horoscope is based on the Mutable Earth energies:

The Mutable principle is about circulating, moving and changing energies. Mutables refine and adapt. Mutable is changeable, disturbed and unsettled. They are the "changers."
The Earth principle is about material, tangible things. It's the solid-state and always very condense. It's cold and heavy. It wants to retain in a contracted manner.

Blending mutable earth into something tangible or material, you get the keyword "the earthquake."

The main characteristics of the Sun (representing your self-expressing life force) in the mutable earth sign Virgo are:

loves to categorize, analyze and criticize (the nitpicker)
loves to serve, fix things, correct errors, "clean things up"
speeks in diminutives and talks in figures with 2 decimals
looks at the smaller parts and reads the small print
intellectually "matter-of-fact" and into reasoning, hence too much worries and concern over (the minutest) details and the little things
often downgrading him- or herself (low self-esteem)
not too well in positions of leadership or authority
a very loyal worker, executor
often blind reasoning without a broader insight (can't see the big picture)

Depending on your birth date, the Virgo horoscope divides into the following three decanates:

August 24-31

September 1-10

September 11-23
