Sun in Virgo
Sun represents who you truly are deep down, your willpower and what gives you energy. In Virgo, it expresses itself with an eye for detail and a practical streak.
In Virgo — a mutable earth sign, ruled by Mercury — the Sun walks peregrine, without dignity of its own, given over to the wit of the messenger who governs these degrees of the harvest field. The kingly fire yields to method: the brilliance becomes minuteness, examination, service well done. It inclines to a discreet authority, one that proves itself in rigour and usefulness rather than in pomp, that prefers the finished work to the visible throne. It gives application, sharpness for detail, a taste for order and correction, hands that tell the wheat from the chaff. Vitality turns toward work and the health of the body, toward the patient perfecting of what is flawed. Dignity is sought in usefulness and competence. The danger dwells in excess of criticism: the brilliance spent in pointing out faults, the exactingness that is never content, the light that shrinks for judging itself always short of what is due.
