Zodiac sign Virgo: dates, character, compatibility

Virgo is the sixth sign of the Zodiac. Covers our calendar year from August 24 to September 23. The symbol is a pictograph for the human reproductive organs, closed, never opened, hence the Virgin.

Virgo is the representation of Astraea, the Goddess of innocence and purity. After Pandora opened the forbidden box, there was a terrible time and one by one the Gods and Goddesses left earth. Astraea was the last to leave. She became the constellation of Virgo. Legends speak of the day the Gods and Goddesses will return, and She will be one of those who will return.

Virgo seems to echo the seasonal cycle also given us by Persephone, that there will come a season of renewal, or hope after the season of darkness and despair.

Virgo is a highly intellectual sign and a perfectionist. Capricorn makes the best match for Virgo while Taurus, Cancer and Scorpio also make good matches.

Capricorn and Virgo will have a fulfilling down-to-earth relationship. Both signs are extremely practical in their approach. However, while Virgo will depend more on skills and talent, Capricorn will use strategy to get ahead. Both tend to put their professional lives ahead of their personal lives. They realize the role of communication in building their relationship and devote time to it. They will trust each other and stay faithful as both value this virtue. Their intense sexual attraction towards each other will make sex sizzle. They will enjoy surprising their partner with sudden erotic moves and will love experimenting in bed.
