Kanya (Virgo) is ruled by the planet Budha (Mercury), and its symbol is a virgin with 
   sheaves of grain in her hands.  Virgo is an Earth sign. 

   The planet Budha (Mercury), the planet of motion, inclines the natives of this sign to a state of 
   constant activity. Tremendous energy is directed towards doing and accomplishing.  While other 
   signs are dreaming up of things to do, Kanya (Virgo) are busy doing them. 

   People born under this sign value work and the work ethic highly.  They are meticulously 
   organized and prize efficiency.  Something about their nature enables them to attend to the 
   smallest of details.  Their analytical minds work round-the clock to bring order to the chaos of 
   day-to-day life.  Nothing escapes their microscopic analysis and they seldom tolerate shoddy 
   workmanship. 

   But while they may be excellent at performing on the job, their outlook may become focused 
   only on their work,  making them oblivious to the pleasures of leisure.  Not being able to see the 
   forest through the trees is another common Virgo shortcoming.  They become so focused on the 
   intricacies of detail that sometimes they lose sight of the big picture.  Many people born under 
   this sign need to learn to be more tolerant of others who are not as exacting, or do not have as 
   high standards, as they do. 

   Despite their apparent outward coolness, they are kind,devoted, and loyal to those who can see 
   past the efficient exterior.  They tend to be loving parents and their devotion to duty makes them 
   confident and responsible members of any family. 

   People born under this sign should worship Budha (Mercury) and Lord Vishnu for overall 
   prosperity and happiness.
