The term "virgin" primarily stands for a young woman. So does this mean that virgin-born women age less quickly? Prolonged youth is indeed often experienced as such. They feel young - even at the age of 80. It is also apparent that these people often do not have children. Much more often than other zodiac signs, they opt out of the general and natural life process and therefore have more space and time for other things. The ultimate would of course be to have a divine child themselves. It remains to be seen whether Virgo-born people are actually found in monasteries more often than other zodiac signs. But surely, at some point, each of these people is concerned with connecting their life with an idea. However, there is another use of the term Virgo: this has to do with the zodiac sign that follows Virgo, i.e. Libra. In astrology, this zodiac sign is regarded as a relationship or commitment sign. Seen in this light, the name Virgo also expresses actually entering into the bond of marriage "undefiled". But you can also live the lustful side if you don't have children.
Further thoughts on the meaning of the sign of Virgo can be derived from this if you look at the time: August 24 to September 23. Summer is over, and at the same time the approaching winter is becoming more and more present as the evenings and nights get longer. In order to survive the winter, it is time to harvest and take precautions. All types of grain are due in the fields and fruit that can be stored on the trees. As a proper maiden, you make the most of both, but because you have internalized the idea of precaution, you save the enjoyment and place the fruit and grains in suitable containers. Precaution and planning then play an important role in the life of a Virgo throughout life.
The word adaptation is often used in connection with the sign of Virgo. It is often said that Virgo adapts to reality. But that's not true. The sign of Virgo is about finding a compromise between ego and reality. In other words, the signs Aries to Leo expect their environment to adapt to them. Virgo takes note of reality and begins a process of coming to terms with it: What can I accept and what can I not? It is obvious that this is not an easy process. In the course of life, the degree of adaptation must first be found: not too much, but also not too little. Such adjustment processes are often extremely painful - for virgins as well as for the people who have to deal with them, especially parents and teachers. And "miscarriages" abound: When the outside reality "wins" a child may become over-adjusted and deprived of the opportunity to shape the environment according to their own considerations. If, on the other hand, the ego wins, this can lead to social exclusion. Adaptation in its optimal form would mean processing just enough of the outside world to grow.
Like every zodiac sign, Virgo also has a personal planet: Mercury. No other planet is ascribed such an unimportant and secondary significance. As Mercury is also assigned to the zodiac sign Gemini, it is often associated with the ability to communicate. But it can do much more. For example, its proximity to the sun is important and therefore - as the saying goes - divine inspiration. His earthly images often have wings on their heads and legs as a sign that they can move quickly. Mercury also carries the staff of Asclepius as a sign of his medical expertise. A well-positioned Mercury in the horoscope really does lead to deep insights, and when transiting Mercury runs over a personal planet, you often get good ideas. But you also have to engage with it, relate to it. Imagining that you actually have a connection to higher inspirations can easily be "translated" into connecting with the higher self in meditation. I use my pendulum when I communicate with Jupiter via Mercury. Of course, everything that has been said applies not only to Virgo natives, but to every zodiac sign. The process of adjustment depends on the position of the sign of Virgo and the sixth house. If someone has Saturn in the sixth house, for example, this leads to an enormous reduction and selection of the possibilities of absorption. Neptune, on the other hand, causes a flooding or overcrowding. And this brings us to the area that is firmly linked to the theme of Virgo and adaptation, namely health. Simplified and certainly also shortened, it can be said that illness always has to do with the fact that this process of confrontation and adaptation between ego and reality does not run optimally, that possibly too much is taken in or the ego is overtaxed. Such under- or overloads can cause illness.
