Virgo is a sign separate from the heavenly body of Virgo and the vast majority of the stars from this group of stars are at present in the indication of Libra. In the zodiac, the indication of Virgo is set among Leo and Libra, taking the 6th 30 degrees of the zodiacal circle. Virgo is a variable sign, reporting the harvest time to come. This makes it very discouraging in its variable nature, for it speaks to the change between the sunny summer, and the apparently blustery harvest time when everything subsides. To add to it, Virgo is a forerunner of Libra, the sign in which the Sun sets.
This star grouping was found in Babylonian cosmology, going again from around 1000 – 700 BC. It was known as "The Furrow", speaking to goddess Shala's ear of grain and a critical star in this group of stars, Spica, is Latin for "ear of grain". This gives the picture of diligent work that gives comes about. Virgo is frequently portrayed as a lady grasping wheat.
The star grouping of Virgo was frequently connected to Greek and Roman goddesses of Agriculture, Demetres and Ceres. Still, the primal association of antiquated Greeks associated this heavenly body to Astraea, the divine virgin, who was the last godlike to live with people amid the Golden Age, one of the five falling apart periods of man. She surrendered humankind and left the Earth to escape from the devilishness of mankind.
The more serious myth connected with this group of stars is the one of Erigone, girl of Icarus. Icarus got murdered by shepherds since they got intoxicated on his wine and thought he attempted to harm them. As he was passing on, he recalled how Dionysus showed him to think about the vine, and that one day a goat ate all that he has planted and developed with affection and commitment. Irate, Icarus murdered the goat, cleaned it and welcomed other individuals to move around it. Right now of death, he understood that by slaughtering the goat, he really hurt himself.
