Virgo (♍︎; Ancient Greek: Παρθένος, romanized: Parthénos; Latin for "virgin" or "maiden") is the sixth astrological sign in the zodiac. It spans the 150–180th degree of the zodiac. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun transits this area between August 23 and September 22 on average. Depending on the system of astrology, individuals born during these dates may be called Virgos or Virgoans.
The sign is associated with Astraea, a figure from Greek mythology. Astraea was the last immortal to abandon Earth at the end of the Silver Age when the gods fled to Olympus, which is why Virgo is associated with Earth. Astraea later became the constellation of Virgo. Virgo is one of the three Earth signs, alongside Capricorn & Taurus.
The constellation Virgo has various origins in different mythologies. In most myths, Virgo is depicted as a virgin maiden associated with wheat. In Greek & Roman mythology, Virgo is related to Demeter, the Greek goddess of the harvest and autumn, or her daughter Perephone, queen of the Underworld and goddess of spring. (Cited from Wikipedia.)
So just what does this all mean? It's September, and school is back in session so the parks and trails should mostly ours once again. It also means it’s time for another Breakfast with Friends Event. The event is published as an hour long, but hardly anyone ever makes it out in under an hour! This event is the perfect time to share your plans, goals for the next month. We would also love to hear your recent adventures, upcoming adventures, recent highlight caches, even dud caches.... We want to hear about it all. Photos are helpful too. We’re looking forward to catching up with everyone. If you think of it, drag a friend along with you.
Interested in heading out for a fun day of geocaching after breakfast? Mention your plans in your will attend logs and perhaps you will get an unexpected partner in crime for the day. Just hungry for food and company? Then come and hang out. We’re all looking forward to seeing you there!!
