Sun in Virgo

Virgo is a «feminine», gentle sign connected with the element of earth, ruled by Mercury and symbolised by a maiden. People born with the Sun in this sign receive the following qualities: kindness, education, learning, the ability to carry on a conversation, a pure heart or an interest in spiritual knowledge, practicality, skilful hands. Sometimes they are excessively sensitive or fall too easily under the influence of the opposite sex; they may be timid and irresolute. Their perceptiveness is fairly well developed; they are able to combine successfully the ideological and the practical sides in their activity. They act well where attention to detail is required, in work connected with conveying messages of some kind, in the sphere of education.

The qualities relating to the sign of Virgo are practicality and also refinement; calculation; innocence or naivety; a beautiful appearance; such a person is hard to convince of anything; he is analytical, possesses a sense of his own dignity; he is shy; he travels; he serves well; he loves picturesque surroundings.

The usual interpretation relating to the position of the Sun in this sign is the following: «a person of feminine appearance, writes well, draws or is a fair sculptor, a poet; has a good memory and pleasant, gentle speech. Physically and mentally not very hardy, but perceptive; has linguistic abilities, reads well, usually acts deliberately; is sincere in argument, needs psychological support and flattery; is sociable, responsive, adapts well to different surroundings; has inventive abilities, is responsive to a kind and respectful attitude towards himself; an excellent companion». These are gentle, sensitive people, skilled in commercial activity. They easily surrender to the power of their feelings, and sometimes it may not be easy to be in their company: driven by their sensitive ego, they try too hard to make an impression on others. (Tom Hopke)

Surya in Kanya — the Sun in Virgo

The classical texts on jyotish say of people whose Sun is in Virgo: «A person of feminine appearance, writes well, draws, may be a sculptor, a poet. He has a good memory and pleasant, gentle speech. Physically he is not very hardy, his nervous system is weak. He is perceptive, has linguistic abilities, is sincere, needs psychological support and flattery, is sociable, responsive, adapts well to different surroundings, has inventive abilities, knows how to be a friend».

To this description one may add that a person with the Sun in Virgo will be kind, educated, and will have pure intentions. The exaltation of Mercury in an earth sign lends Virgo natives a slight excitability, a nervousness.

Venus is debilitated in Virgo, and therefore people with the Sun in Virgo may be excessively sensitive, timid and irresolute, and easily fall under the influence of the opposite sex. Virgo natives are able to combine the practical and the ideological sides of a matter, are attentive to detail, and have excellent analytical abilities. (Indubala)

In the sign of Virgo the Sun becomes very weak. In the «earth signs» (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) it is difficult for the Sun to give a person its highly moral characteristics. The native becomes an egoist and will concentrate on material advantage. Owing to a lack of confidence the person cannot perform any work at one pace for long. He is not suited to leading posts. Such people will fall ill often if the Sun is in a bad house. (Mahesh Dharmadasa)

A person born with the Sun in Virgo will be a writer, an artist, a literary publisher and a mathematician, will possess extensive knowledge, and his body will be like a woman's. (Varaha Mihira, «Brihat Jataka», chapter 18)
