Virgo and The Elements
As an Earth sign, Virgo exhibits a grounded and practical nature. This elemental influence allows them to find workable solutions and bring order to chaos quickly. Virgos are resourceful, driven by their connection to the material world, and often have a strong work ethic that helps them manifest their goals.
Persephone The Maiden?
Virgo is symbolized by the maiden carrying a sheaf of wheat. This maiden has many mythological associations. The myth of Persephone is one goddess that is attributed to the virgin maiden. Persephone was the daughter of Demeter, who was goddess of the harvest. Hades took her to the underworld, and Demeter left the Earth to wither as she sought Persephone’s return.
When Persephone returns to Earth, so does the Spring season. The wheat the maiden carries represents the fruits of labor and the rewards of a strong work ethic. Virgo’s connection to the Earth and nature emphasizes nurturing, care, and attention to detail.
