“An Astronomer who denies Astrology, is like a butcher who recognizes the brain but is unaware of its transmission of waves..”
Ahmed Hulusi
Virgo is a mutable, feminine earth sign, ruled by Mercury and associated with the Sixth House of work, health, and daily routines. Much like clay, the earthy mutability of Virgo is consistently adaptable. Virgo is known to be dependable—thanks to Virgo’s attention to detail and perfectionist mindset. Although somewhat nervous, thanks to the restless Mercurial influence, Virgo tends to strive for the best outcome at all times. So, Virgo’s critical nature is ideal for catching—then perfecting—every flaw. After all, nothing gets by the Virgin. And when lightning strikes, the volcanic nature of Virgo becomes electric.*

The image above is “The Constellations and the Stars: The Northern Hemisphere” By Albrecht Dürer from 1515. The images come from a variety of sources. The large engravings at the top of the pages were my inspiration for these pages. They are scanned from the book “Symbols Signs and Signets” by Ernst Lehner.
