Virgo is the sixth sign in the zodiac chart. It comes right after Leo and just before Libra. People who are born between 23rd August and 22nd September fall under this zodiac.
This particular sun sign originates from the second largest constellation called Virgo. In the celestial longitude, Virgo spans between 150th degrees to 180th degrees.
This earth sign’s symbol represents a maiden. This maiden is Astraea who is the Goddess of purity and innocence in the Greek mythology. At the end of the Silver age, when all the Gods and Goddesses were fleeing to Olympus, she was the last immortal to leave Earth.
Hence this sign is associated with Earth. After abandoning Earth due to wickedness of humans, Astraea ascended in heaven and became the Virgo constellation. The Sumero-Babylonian name of this sign is “The seed-furrow”.
