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 7, 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 based on other factors, here are some general traits likely found in individuals with the Sun in Virgo:
- You have a strong memory: Ruled by Mercury, Virgo brings ample mental strength. You pay attention to the events in your life and do not easily forget the people who have helped you or done you wrong.
- You enjoy serving others: With a natural inclination to serve others, especially in religious, spiritual, or charitable positions, service becomes a major part of your personal spirituality.
- You are skilled in science and the arts: Mercury also brings artistic gifts. You have knowledge and talent in writing, calligraphy, art, and mathematics. Your strong memory enables you to learn almost anything.
- You have feminine features: Soft features characterize Virgo as a feminine sign. While you may not have much physical or mental stamina, you excel in empathy and emotional intelligence.
- You can be shy: Preferring to be in the background and avoiding too much attention for your work, you have a hard time asserting yourself in personal relationships and the workplace.
Virgo Careers
Virgos are multi-talented individuals who can succeed in various professions. However, they generally prefer helper roles and are rarely seen in leadership positions. Here are some recommended careers for Virgos:
- Mathematicians, scientists, linguists, architects, or researchers.
- Teachers, writers, or journalists, as they have literary and scholastic talent.
- Roles to avoid include those requiring high levels of leadership or empathy, such as CEOs, counselors, or childcare providers.
Virgo Mantras
A mantra is a short phrase that uplifts and cleanses our mind, heart, and consciousness. Virgos can especially benefit from meditating with the following mantra:
ॐ बुद्धदेवाय नमः (Om buddha-devaya namaha)
The Vedas contain many mantras that are effective for different people. However, some mantras, like the following maha-mantra, are universal and beneficial for people born in 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)
