I am a Virgo. How about this constellation?

August 23rd to September 22nd.

Follow the arc of the handle of the Big Dipper Ursa major, and you will find the alpha star of Shepherd, that is, arcturus. Continue to look south along this curve, and after a similar length, you can see a bright star, which is Virgo Alpha Star, which was called Kajupiter in ancient China. Alpha and gamma stars connecting Beidou can also be seen at a distance of seven or eight times.

The ancient Greeks imagined Virgo as Demeter, an agricultural god with wings. She held the ears of wheat in one hand, as if celebrating the harvest with people.

Virgo is the second largest constellation in the whole day, but in this constellation, only Cassiopeia is 0.9m, there are four 3m stars, and the rest are stars darker than 4m. Therefore, although Dmitry is the goddess of agriculture, her image in the sky is not too dazzling.

We might as well simplify this somewhat complicated big constellation into a capital letter "Y": take the α-γ star as the handle, and divide it into two branches, γ, δ and ε as one branch and γ, η and β as the other.

Fortunately, having a bright star, arcturus, did not make Virgo, the famous zodiac sign in spring, too dim (Virgo is also called "Virgo" in the zodiac sign). Kakuchi is the 16th bright star in the whole day. It forms a striking equilateral triangle with arcturus and the Leo beta star that we will introduce later, which is called the "Spring Triangle". The diamond composed of the Spring Triangle and the Alpha Dog is called "Spring Diamond", which is said to be a gift from Zeus to his sister Demeter.

When we look at the stars in spring, we should find this big triangle immediately after finding the Big Dipper in Ursa Major and the North Star in Ursa Minor. In this way, it is much easier to find other constellations.

Virgo origin

Demeter, the god of agriculture in charge of the grain of the earth and the mother of the Greek earth, has a beautiful only daughter, Posephna, who is the glorious goddess of spring. As long as she steps on it gently, it will be full of beautiful flowers. One day, she and her companions were picking flowers on the grass in the valley. Suddenly, she saw a silver daffodil with its fragrance in the air. Posephine thought, "It is more beautiful than all my flowers!" " "The beauty was radiant, so she secretly left her companion and reached for the flowers. Suddenly, a hole was opened in the ground, and a carriage was pulled out of the ground by two dark horses. It turned out to be Wang Haidi of the underworld. He loves Posephone, the most beautiful spring god, and sets a trick to take her away.

Poseidon's cry for help echoed between the valley and the sea, and of course, it reached his mother Demeter's ear. She was very sad! She left the grain to be harvested and flew over Qian Shan to find her daughter.

Without Mother Earth, seeds will no longer germinate, fertile land will not produce a pile of wheat ears, and human beings will starve to death. Zeus saw this situation and had to order Pluto to release Posephone. Pluto had to obey Zeus, but he secretly gave Posephona a fruit. How did Posephina know that once she ate the fruit, she would not be able to live on the earth and was doomed to return to the dark and stinking hell?

Zeus had no choice but to say, "You only spend a quarter of the year with Posephina". From then on, as long as the earth is covered with frost and nothing grows, people will know that it is because Insephine has gone to hell again. Virgo symbolizes the beauty and purity of Posephine, the god of spring, and the wheat raised by her mother has become something she holds in her hand. Even so, she is no longer the carefree girl playing on the grass. Although she will come back to life every spring, she is still glamorous and moving, but the stench and terrible smell of hell will always follow her.

Symbols and symbolic meanings:

This somewhat mysterious symbol has different interpretations from all aspects: some people say it is the "M" of the Virgin Mary; Or "Mercury", the ruler of this constellation. In any case, the intersection at the end of it symbolizes the steadfast, steadfast and self-suppressed character.

Appearance:

Virgo people look clean and clever, with a pair of soft and observant eyes, a beautiful mouth and a wide chin. On the whole, they exude a fresh and elegant temperament. Likes to criticize others.

Features:

Born with a slender mind, it may be related to his patron saint Mercury being a planet with a brain. Virgo has always been a "constellation for serving people", which makes their popularity not so good, but not so bad, and becomes the constellation with the smallest emotional quotient gap among the twelve constellations. Virgo may be the most self-controlled and cultivated sign in the zodiac, but his habitual "self-criticism" often makes people misunderstand that Virgo is self-controlled and a little indifferent. The perfectionist's character often makes people around him breathless. Virgo is usually suitable for accounting, film criticism, nursing and medicine, and often stays in the same job for several years. Even though others may be bored, they can enjoy it.

Advantages:

Modest, neat, careful, clear-headed, good at analysis, able to distinguish right from wrong.

Disadvantages:

Like to find fault with eggs, demanding too much, sentimental, fussy, old-fashioned and hard to please.

Personality:

Virgos attach great importance to small details and often neglect the overall situation for the perfection of small places. The position of the water star affects the intensity of this trend. For example, if the sun is in Virgo and Mercury is in Leo, the overall situation will be better. They are diligent and pragmatic. A good Virgo is not only cautious but also helpful. They have the spirit of service and fully enjoy giving. Because there is a spiritual force to support their actions, they always look busy, but they enjoy it. The problem is that it is difficult for them to relax and enjoy their leisure life. If they want him to stop and have a rest, they will be as troubled as others. If Mercury, the guardian planet of this constellation, is in Libra, you can enjoy your leisure time more leisurely. Although Mercury is also the guardian planet of Gemini, Virgo is not as frivolous and grandiose as Gemini. Perhaps it is because this constellation is inseparable from "purity". Women are particularly interested in human health, and many of them are vegetarians. Otherwise, they will exercise restraint in their daily diet. They are naturally fond of neatness and believe in accuracy, but this constellation, as its name implies, likes purity, sometimes even to the point of cleanliness, which brings troubles to themselves and others and easily hinders interpersonal relationships. As long as the above shortcomings are corrected, Virgo's compassionate mind and gentle personality now have the conditions to become good friends, and his natural reserved attitude adds a little mysterious charm.
