Virgo

Virgo (the Virgin) August 24th - September 23rdVirgo is the 6th sign of the zodiac, represented by the Greeks as a Virgin or 'maid'. Hesiod thought her the daughter of Jupiter and Themis, the Arcadian nymph whom the Romans and later Greeks associated with Libra, but that is just gossip - the Virgin may be Iustia, the daughter of Astraeus and Ancora, or Erigone, the daughter of Icarus, or even Apollo's daughter, Parthene, whose name means 'virgin'. She is Eve in Genesis who originally crushed the head of the Serpent, Scorpio.

Health
Virgoans are the most complex group in terms of their health. Continually worrying that they suffer from every problem in the medical dictionary, they nevertheless sometimes appear magically immune to the diseases and infections all around them. Their weakest part is the bowels and a chronic pattern of intestinal problems often severely affects Virgoans who are not at ease with their lives. All Virgoans should abjure spicy foods and alcohol. Most of their suffering can be alleviated by spending as much time as possible walking or cycling in the countryside.
