Were you born on September 14? If so, then according to Western astrology, your zodiac sign is Virgo, the sign of the Virgin. This means that when you were born, the Sun was in the stars that make up the constellation known as Virgo. Let's delve into the basics of your horoscope.
Virgo Overview
Virgo, known as कन्य (kanya) in Sanskrit, is characterized by certain basic traits. Here's an overview of the Virgo sign:
- Sign of the Virgin: Virgo natives are intelligent and resourceful, but they may experience conflicting feelings and desires in life.
- Ruled by Mercury: Mercury is the planet of thought, communication, and literature. Mercurial individuals are hard to predict due to their quick-thinking nature.
- An earth sign: Virgo moon individuals are dexterous, thoughtful, and practical.
- A dual sign: Persons born under Virgo are adaptable and multi-talented.
- A feminine sign: Virgo natives are receptive, sensitive, and empathetic.
- Virgo’s preferred gemstone is emerald: Virgos can also benefit from green tourmaline and peridot.
Traits of the Sun in Virgo
In Western Astrology, a person’s sign is determined by the position of the Sun. If you were born on September 14, then you’re considered a Virgo according to most people in the Western world. While the influence of the Sun in a birth chart varies, here are some general traits likely to be found in a native whose Sun is in Virgo:
- Strong memory: Ruled by Mercury, Virgo brings ample mental strength. You pay attention to the events in your life and have a strong memory for both those who have helped you and those who have wronged you.
- Enjoys serving others: You have a natural inclination to serve others, especially in religious, spiritual, or charitable roles. Service is a major part of your personal spirituality.
- Skilled in science and the arts: Mercury also brings artistic gifts. You are knowledgeable and talented in writing, calligraphy, art, and mathematics. Your strong memory enables you to learn almost anything.
- Feminine features: As a feminine sign, Virgo is recognized by soft features. You may not possess much physical or mental stamina, but you excel in empathy and emotional intelligence.
- Shyness: You prefer to be in the background and do not seek attention for your work. Asserting yourself in personal relationships and the workplace may be challenging.
Virgo Careers
Virgos are multi-talented individuals who can succeed in various professions. However, they generally prefer helper roles and are rarely found in leadership positions. Recommended careers for Virgos include mathematicians, scientists, linguists, architects, researchers, teachers, writers, and journalists. Roles requiring a high level of empathy, such as counseling or childcare, may not suit a Virgo's dispassionate nature.
Virgo Mantras
A mantra is a short phrase that uplifts and cleanses the mind, heart, and consciousness. Virgos can benefit from meditating with the following mantra:
ॐ बुद्धदेवाय नमः (Om buddha-devaya namaha)
The Vedas contain many mantras effective for different people based on their circumstances. The following maha-mantra, or "super mantra," is universal and beneficial for individuals born under any zodiac sign:
हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे (Hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare Hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare)
