What is the Virgo Zodiac symbol?
A Virgo star sign is associated with organisation, good communication and high intelligence.
When astrologists read shapes in the stars centuries ago, they decided the glyph for Virgo represented an 'unspoilt' virginal woman. Some say this is shown as an 'M' shape, for 'maiden,' while others interpret the crossed loop to represent the closed legs of a chaste virgin.
The crossed loop may also represent a gatekeeper, which speaks to Virgo's emotional sensibilities and a strong sense of right and wrong.
Virgos are often modest hard workers who sometimes struggle with impostor syndrome but make for excellent friends and partners.
