Virgo Polarity, Element and Mode

Virgo is of the element of earth suggesting being in touch, the mutable mode indicating you are flexible and can multi-task and the negative polarity which means you may be shy or reticent.

Virgo Keywords

Virgos are particular and this is another word for picky. You like to analyze situations.

You may seem to be finding fault but it is just your attention to detail that makes you aware (more than most) of any imperfections in people or situations. You can be self-critical and this may be a problem when you are young.

Virgos are discriminating and want perfection in life. You are kind, meticulous, fastidious, even, and can be detailed oriented.

Virgo is the sign of those who serve and you are good in this role. You are modest and humble and make excellent workers.

Virgo Births

There are more Virgo births than any other sign. Those born under the sign of the virgin are the workers of the zodiac and are often placed in supporting roles.

You do not like being put on the spot and will resist leadership when it is offered to you. It’s like a beehive with one queen bee – the Leo and many worker bees – the Virgos.

Mercury is often described as the planet of communication and intellect.

It influences how we express ourselves, how we learn, and how we perceive the world around us.

Imagine Mercury as the cosmic messenger, delivering the thoughts and ideas from the depths of your mind to the outside world.

If Mercury is in the 5th house, which is traditionally associated with creativity, your artistic endeavors are likely to be a significant part of your life and identity.

Aspects

Positive aspects like trines and sextiles can enhance your ability to communicate and create, while challenging aspects like squares and oppositions may require extra effort in order to harmonize your artistic expression with your inner self.

Mercury and Art

In astrology, Mercury isn’t just about words; it’s about the entire spectrum of communication, including the silent language of art.
