The Twelve Signs
Virgo
the Maiden
August 23 – September 22
The harvest sorted grain by grain, nothing wasted, nothing rushed.
Virgo arrives with the first harvest, and its gift is discernment: seeing what is useful, what is ripe, what needs mending. Mercury both rules and is exalted here, so the mind works close to the ground, in service rather than show. Its care is practical, and often quiet enough to miss until it is gone.
