                        VIRGO                (Scroll down for large constellation)

According the Hesiod, whose writings supply a large part of what we now know of Greek mythology, Virgo is a symbol of the goddess Dike. Dike was one of the Horae, children of Zeus who were in charge of the seasons, and she was responsible for summer.

Virgo - One of the few signs not represented by an animal, Virgo's origin stems from the Tale of Pandora. Virgo of course is the representation of the goddess of purity and innocence, Astraea. After Pandora opened the jar and let loose all the evil's unto the world, the gods who lived on the earth fled back to the heavens and away from the evil's of the earth. Astraea was the last to return to the heavens. As a remembrance of innocence lost, Astraea was placed amongst the stars in the form of Virgo.
