Virgo (Kanya) Lagna

Kanya is the sixth sign rising on the horizon after Leo. It is symbolized by a young woman wandering in the mountains. Carrying fire, the emblem of the sun, and grains nurtured by the energies of sunlight, the Virgo girl becomes active during the day. Mountains are harsh and less hospitable. Air is thin, cold, and depleted of oxygen. Survival is difficult in the peaks. Differing climates evolve the Virgo girl, making her highly adaptive to the difficulties of higher elevations.

Virgo natives are known for their meticulous nature and attention to detail. They are practical, analytical, and methodical in their approach to life. They possess an innate ability to solve problems through systematic analysis and hard work.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which shows an intellectual and curious path through life. It is a very loyal and devoted creature, trying to do the right thing at all times.

Virgo endowed with strength during the day in front rising, medium limbed, two-footed, moving in the south with grain and fire, a Vaishya, clear/transparent, stormy, young, connected with Tamas, existing in children and ruled by Mercury.

Virgo is capable of activating this wheel, it will be successful in destroying its selfish motives and moving towards higher knowledge. Virgo is a tamasic sign they will be largely motivated by the possibility of trouble and will utilize their many skills to avoid it.

Virgo is where the soul is learning to do more hard work to improve their life through daily routines. She is mutable, adapting to the ever-changing nature around her. Her two feet (she's a biped), because she does not have four, give her swift and easy movement to tackle the rock sturdiness of the place that she calls home.

Virgo functions from her head, which she raises first, making her a front-rising Rashi. Operating from the head, her sensory organs are well developed, which gives her the best analytical skills in conjunction with Mercury, her ruling planet. Mercury regulates her nervous system, giving her tremendous power of speech, which enhances her mode of expression.

Virgo also rules the Vishuddha chakra. It governs speech and hearing. When Vishuddha is polluted or in a dormant phase, death and decay happen. But when aroused, it can lead to higher wisdom and learning.

Virgo is ruled by the element Earth and lives in the South. Earth is \"matter,\" the densest of all, and relates to the sense of smell. This young woman has Vata as her predominant dosha. She also rules over the umbilical cord and is said to reside in children, who are called the \"fruits of the earth.\" She governs the south, which is in a downward direction. Virgo eating and excreting are two vital processes that regulate the balance of Earth. If disturbed, it can make the young virgin prone to indigestion, constipation, and back pain. In Cosmic Man or Kalapurusha, Virgo rules the hips.

The young virgin embraces the three nakshatras of Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, and Chitra. Aryaman, the third son of Aditi (Mother of the Gods), Aditya (Sun), and Twashtri (a creative force emerging from the navel of celestial Architect Vishwakarma), are the ruling deities of the respective nakshatras.

Uttara Phalguni, with its deity Aryaman, makes the Virgin benevolent and compassionate. Hasta, with its symbol of clutching hands, signifies the power to rule wild mountains with determination. Chitra, with her \"Star of Wonder\" and the Creative Force, signifies the turbulence a diamond has to face to attain its worth. Virgo is female in polarity and is given to deep self-reflection and introversion.

They're slender, medium height, and have a dark, mountainous complexion. They have profuse hair and are prone to baldness and a pot belly early in life. Their voices are sweet, and their manners are gentle.
