Budha (Mercury) is the ruler and Virgo is a dual, earthy female sign. As compared to Gemini, Budha’s qualities manifest very differently in an Earthy sign, as the excellent discriminative qualities of Budha are expressed in a more physical form. The result is an unsurpassed eye for details in practical matters. Budha is a neuter Graha, and Kanya is female, causing a rather tender combination.

The symbol for Kanya is a young woman, standing in a boat, holding wheat (or corn) and fire. This image symbolises an industrious but homely quality. Just like in the case of Mithuna (Gemini) the dual quality of the sign is reflected by having opposite elements in the symbol.

The Personality of a Virgo

People with a prominent Kanya will be somewhat shy, and have a soft, tender disposition. They are very good at organising and keeping track of details, and tend to worry more than necessary. They are likely to have practical skills, especially related to communication and information processing.
