If your birthday is today, you are a Virgo. Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury, and its symbol is a virgin with sheaves of grain in her hands. Virgo is an Earth sign, methodical and improving. The planet Mercury, the planet of motion, inclines the natives of this sign to a state of constant activity.
Tremendous energy is directed towards doing and accomplishing.
While other signs are dreaming up of things to do, Virgos are busy doing them. The horoscope have been from the very beginning a tool for the study of individuality. Without relating the motions of the heavenly bodies to a specific time and place on Earth, you have no personal indication at all, only a general one that applies to everyone on the planet born on a particular day. Individual astrology is not merely a study of what will happen to people in the course of their lives. All rights reserved.
