Virgo

Virgo is the sixth astrological sign in the Zodiac, which is associated with the constellation Virgo and spans the 150-180th degree of the zodiac. In astrology, Virgo is considered a mutable sign and is represented by the symbol of the maiden. Individuals born between approximately August 23 and September 22 are considered Virgos. The term "Virgo" is derived from the Latin word for "virgin" or "maiden." In Hebrew, Virgo is known as בְּתוּלָה (Betula), which also translates to "virgin" or "maiden." In Spanish, it is called Virgo, in French Vierge, and in German Jungfrau. Virgo is often associated with traits such as analytical thinking, attention to detail, and practicality. In Western astrology, Virgo is a negative or passive sign and is ruled by the planet Mercury. The constellation Virgo is also significant in various cultural and mythological contexts, often symbolizing purity, harvest, and the goddess of justice.
