The Essence
Virgo is the anxiety that the universe is broken and the compulsion to fix it. Ruled by Mercury, it is the intellect applied to matter. It is not 'picky'; it is discerning. Virgo sees the crack in the diamond, the typo in the manuscript, and the disease in the body before anyone else. It is the archetype of the Craftsperson who knows that God is in the details and the Devil is in the disorder.
