The Maiden in Mythology
Virgo is most commonly associated with Astraea, the Greek goddess of innocence and justice. She was the last immortal to live among humans during the Golden Age.
As humanity declined, she ascended to the heavens and became the constellation Virgo, often depicted holding scales (the constellation Libra) and an ear of wheat, symbolizing harvest and purity.
The symbol of the Maiden represents not naivety, but a refined purity of intention, a dedicated work ethic, and the pursuit of an ideal world through diligent effort.
