Vulcan. Vulcan was the smithy of Olympus whose mighty forge fashioned
not only the armaments of war, worn with distinction by the likes of
Achilles, but also the delicate and decorative ornaments so lavishly
admired by Olympus's more well known but less hard-working residents.
From this, their legendary forerunner, today's Virgos have had dumped
on them the rather unglamorous reputation of being fairly dull fellows
who would remain quite contently bogged down in detailed work while
the rest of the world was happily throwing frisbees.
In truth Virgos like a good time as much as the next sign and can
become quite irritated at the suggestion that they tend to be prudish
lovers of toil. They care a great deal about doing their job well and
take great pride in being productive as do all earth signs (Taurus,
Virgo, Capricorn) Once the job is completed to their satisfaction,
however, Virgo is ready to stand toe-to-toe with any Leo when it comes
to having fun.
Virgos only run into problems when their natural tendency for detailed
examination of an issue, a task, or a person is allowed to
disintegrate into nit-picking. Being a perfectionist can be difficult
particularly in a world so filled to overflowing with imperfections
that seem to cry out for Virgo's services. Virgos really are only
trying to help but those on the receiving end of their generosity can
sometimes wish they would just leave well enough alone.
Virgos must learn that their ability to enjoy the beauty and wonder of
all things in life can be expanded to allow for the frailities and
flaws which give to all things their stamp of uniqueness.
Virgos' task in life, that of service, is a noble one. In accepting
those occasional duties which might be thought too boring for other
signs less devoted to this ideal, Virgo paves the way for the subduing
of ego which is a necessary quality in the sign which follows it,
Libra, the sign of relationships.
