Virgo Children

Children born between 24^th August and 22^nd September are likely to have the Sun in Virgo. Although a personal horoscope drawn up from their exact time and date of birth will give a more comprehensive personality analysis, the Sun Sign can give a general impression of the Virgo child's outlook and behaviour.

Virgo is an Earth sign, ruled by the planet Mercury. Mercury, planet of the mind and communication works in a practical and analytical way in Virgo children making for an intelligent and reasoning mind. Although careful and considerate, Virgos are also able to think very quickly when necessary and they are usually very accurate in their conclusions.

Virgo is a quiet, introvert sign and Virgo children will tend to be rather timid. They need to feel emotionally secure and might demand a lot of love and attention in order to counteract their feelings of insecurity. As they grow older, Virgo children will show an industrious side. They love to be busy and to feel as if they are being a help in any situation. These children will not mind having to keep their bedrooms tidy. They will in fact have special places where they keep their toys and other treasured belongings.

They will enjoy cooking, gardening and helping with the housework. Not because it has to be done but because it gives these children a huge sense of satisfaction to feel as if they are making a contribution. The Virgo motto is 'to serve' and Virgo children enjoy being of help to others.

In later life, the Virgo child is likely to develop a strong work ethic; they will be hard working and more likely to serve or follow than to lead. Virgo occupies the 6^th house of the zodiac which is the house of work and health in a horoscope. Virgos are therefore likely to take a strong interest in health and work matters.

Children born between August 24^th and 1^st September are in the first Decan of Virgo and are ruled and sub-ruled by Mercury. This planet plays an important part in their lives and they are likely to be highly intelligent with analytical as well as critical minds.

Children born between 2^nd and 11^th September are in the sector belonging to the second decan of Virgo. They are ruled by Mercury and sub-ruled by Saturn. This makes for a slight difference in their personality in that they are likely to show a strong degree of determination and ambition with a serious outlook on life.

Children born between the 12^th and 22^nd September are in the third decan of Virgo and this sector is sub-ruled by Venus. These children are likely to be more sociable, more confident in promoting their aims and they will use their creative skills in practical ways.
