Virgo

**SIGN OF THE FRUITFUL**

VIR\* [JADE CASTE] // \*GO [PROSPIT + SPACE]

The alternative sway of Virgo is Virga, and the opposite sign is Piries.

The official website defines Virgo in three segments: sign class, lunar sway, and aspect.

Jade Signs are the zodiac's caretakers. Intelligent and steady, they are excellent organizers and planners. They are detail-oriented, and can tend toward perfectionism, never satisfied with their endeavors. If you hire on a Jade Sign, be prepared for an excellent product, but also no peace until that project is flawless. They are fussy and particular, which can cause friction with those around them, although a Jade Sign holds no one to as high a standard as they hold themselves. Since they are shy with strangers and slow to open up, Jade Signs can often come off as timid or doormats, when really they just prefer to come at conflicts in a less combative way. Naturally loyal and loving, they make wonderful doctors, parents, and caretakers, whether they are taking care of people, pets, or plants. In relationships, they can be slow to open up, and need someone willing to be patient enough to go at their pace. If all of this makes Jade Signs sound soft and nurturing, they are, but keep in mind that they can also be fiercely destructive if those they care about are threatened. It takes a lot to make a Jade Sign snap, but if they do, take cover.

Marked by a flexible optimism, the personalities of Prospit Dreamers are reactive and intuitive. They naturally exist in the present, rather than look to the future or obsess over the past. When making decisions Prospit Dreamers tend to rely on gut instinct and whatever emotions they are experiencing at the moment. This makes them quick to act and reliable in a crisis, but it also can make them capricious. They have trouble thinking things through, and their feelings toward specific situations and decisions can change from day to day. They solve problems with creativity rather than cold logic, often seeing multiple options with ease and clarity. Because they generally take things as they come, Prospit Dreamers are less rebellious than they are adaptable-instead of struggling against authority, they will find a way to coexist with it. Possibly because they are so instinctual and flexible, they like having a defined set of rules-a safety net for their passionate lives. Naturally trusting, they have trouble with deception or hiding their true selves, and will often worry about what others think of them. The self they project into the world is often not under their control.

Those bound to the aspect of Space are, as the name suggests, concerned with the big picture. They are patient, masters of the art of 'wait-and-see', and are inclined to take things as they come. That isn't to say that they're pushovers or willing to let injustice lie-they just choose their battles wisely, understanding that sometimes you have to let something burn to the ground in order to build it back better and stronger than before. To this effect, they tend to be innovators, concerned with creation and redemption. Catch them recycling the old to make the new, the fresh, and the beautiful. For the Space-bound, the journey is as, if not more, important than the destination; how they do something is as important as what they do. At their best, they are steady, impartial, and creative. At their worst, they can be detached, apathetic, and vague.

Virgo (from the Greek Παρθένος), is the sixth (6th) of twelve (12) western zodiac signs. It takes inspiration from the zodiac Virgo "The Virgin (Maiden)", and people born within the months of August 23rd to September 22nd are known to be a Virgo (occasionally known as a "Virgoan".) The zodiac Virgo is one (1) of six (6) negative signs, one (1) of four (4) mutable signs, and one (1) of three (3) earth signs alongside Taurus and Capricorn. The sign ruler of Virgo is Mercury, the detriment is Jupiter, the exhaltation is Mercury, and the fall is Venus.

The six (6) negative signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces) are known as the signs with a Negative Polarity. This is in reference to the energy that the sign holds. These six (6) signs are traditionally known as the passive, Yin, receptive, or "feminine" signs. The negative signs also include the earth and water triplicities.

The three (3) modalities or modes in reference to a sign is talking about the position it can be found in during each season. The four (4) elements manifests in three (3) modalities: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. They are also known as the Quadruplicities, because they are grouped with four (4) signs in each group, one sign of each element. Each of the three (3) modes also have specific traits that the signs grouped to them hold or example. Mutable signs are known for their adaptability, flexibility, and resourcefulness. The Mutable signs are Sagittarius (fire), Pisces (water), Gemini (air), and Virgo (earth).

The four (4) elements (Air, Earth, Fire, and Water) are attributed to the twelve (12) western zodiac signs, and each group corresponds to a specific group of traits often found in those signs, along with a personality type that was proposed by the Greek physician, Hippocrates. These groups are known as the Four Element Triplicities. One of these groups is Earth which has been known to house the traits of Practicality, Caution, Material World. According to Hippocrates, the Earth element correlates to the Melancholic personality type. Melancholic people are described to be Neurotic Introverts or Unstable Introverts, which means that they tend to be anxious, rigid, pessimistic, and unsocial.

Virgo people are natural caretakers and they value health and well-being and they know that if you're mentally sick, your body will become sick and then nothing will ever get done. They have a tendency to keep their thoughts and problems to themself, even if it eats them up inside, but they never want to feel like they're a burden to other people. Virgos have a system that they follow, and they like to be organized, even in the most chaotic of situations. They have an innate ability to stay calm and never really show much for emotions until it all come spilling out like a volcano one day, but nobody needs to know that. They tend to have a soft side that they hide from other people out of a fear of getting hurt again, because their welcoming attitude has definitely earned them some unfortunate pain in the past. Despite everything they've been through, the Virgo stays strong and keeps their arms open to new friends and relationships.

The Virgo gets along well with a lot of signs, especially the more cool headed Taurus and Capricorn. Pisces and Scorpio are also great matches for the Virgo to have because they offer a difference perspective, are curious, and love helping each other. Cancer cares just as much about other people's feelings as the Virgo does and the two have a chance to create something really special together. Fire signs, Sagittarius, Aries, and Leo, hold a special connection to the Virgo and the two signs are likely to have a very strong intimate relationship with one another.
