Virgo is the sixth sign of the Zodiac, a set of astrological signs. It is associated with purity and service. Individuals born under this sign are thought to have a diligent, analytical, self-sufficient, controlled, orderly, and modest character. The Virgo person is practical, industrious, efficient, intelligent, full of sass, thorough, methodical, exacting, precise, detail-oriented, observant, work and service oriented, painstaking, pragmatic, discreet, health and cleanliness conscious, mentally active, and flexible. The negative traits of a Virgo include their insensitivity, constant criticism, perfectionist attitude, pig-headed nature, and their superiority complex.
Virgo is traditionally thought to be ruled by Mercury. However, during the late 19th century and early 20th century it was speculated in certain astrological circles that the planet Vulcan, thought to be located near Mercury, was the true planetary ruler of Virgo. Today, some astrologers believe that the dwarf planets Sedna and Eris are or will be the planetary rulers/co-rulers of Virgo.[citation needed] Many astrologers who study the powerful asteroid Chiron, known as "the wounded healer", believe it has the best claim upon the rulership of Virgo.[citation needed] Currently, the vast majority of astrologers still think of Mercury as the planetary ruler of this sign.
The Indian equivalent of Virgo is Kanya; the Chinese equivalent is the Rooster.
