Virgo in Astrology

Virgos are known to be smart, sophisticated and kind. They can’t stand procrastination or laziness and get the job done without complaining. Many Virgos are big picture thinkers who plan everything out from their plans for the day to their vacations to their life. This helps them feel in control and secure. They are perfectionists (and can be hard on themselves as a result) and methodically note the smallest details. They may appear shy at first meeting, but once you earn a Virgo’s trust, they are amazing friends!

Did You Know?

For one of Sailor Mercury’s attack, “Aqua Rhapsody”, she uses a lyre which Greek mythology attributes the invention of this instrument to the god Hermes. This is because Hermes is the Greek counterpart to the Roman god, Mercury. Hermes rules over trade, sports & athletes, border crossings, trickery & thieves and travelers. However, Mercury also rules over messages, communication (including divination) and commerce.
