The pursuit of perfection is strong with the Sun in the sign of Virgo. Intelligence is your strength! Health and wellness may be quite important to you. Also, you may have the natural ability to analyze and organize large amounts of information. In addition, you may be very detail-oriented. Creating structure could be your hidden superpower! However, you may tend to be critical of yourself and those around you. Therefore, your heroic journey to your authentic self involves learning to validate yourself–even though you are not always perfect.
Astrology of Virgo:
Ruled by the planet Mercury, Virgo is an Earth sign that symbolizes practicality and order. In astrology, Mercury is the messenger. When you fully own the power of Mercury, you are able to clearly share your ideas with others. If you are not using the power of Mercury in a constructive way, you may find it difficult to think and speak for yourself.
Symbolized by the maiden, Virgo embodies the concepts of purity of purpose, fertility, and service to others. Therefore, Sun in Virgo symbolizes the qualities of humility, diligence, and modesty. Moreover, you set high standards of conduct for yourself. You may gain a greater sense of self-awareness from helping others in practical ways.
Like the other astrological signs, you can be functional or dysfunctional in the expression of your Virgo qualities. There are certain qualities or abilities that can come easily to you when you are functioning at your best as a Virgo. These are your “superpowers”. However, a lack of balance can lead to behavior that prevents you from being your best. These habits–much like “kryptonite”–can limit your potential.
