The Virgo archetype
Virgo is mutable earth ruled by Mercury — the sign of skilled hands and surgical attention. Virgos see the flaw before anyone else and feel personally responsible for fixing it. Their gift is improvement; their wound is the conviction that nothing — including themselves — is yet good enough.
