1-2 deg Virgo
This degree confers a great abstract intelligence, a manifold versatility, a methodical and precise
mental procedure, a special gift for military and mathematical sciences, a keen mind constantly on
the lookout, but if no other influences in the pattern supply practical skill, the native will be as clumsy in carrying out as he has been brilliant in conceiving.
A dry and cool nature, whose earnestness can border on unwieldiness, whose endurance can drift into stubbornness and maniacal conceit. One endowed with great steadfastness but none of those
deep impulses which only a feeling-not merely a reckoning-nature can give a human being. The resulting attitude is mostly one of apathy, sometimes of fatalistic indolence and sluggishness. Spiritually, the native is an atheist or, worse, an agnostic. Financially he is in for a miserable and roaming life when other aspects do hot correct this one.
A decided prevalence of the elements of Water and Fire in the birth pattern can correct the dryness and coldness of this being. Water only would add to his sloth and fickleness; fire alone would heighten his dryness.

KOSMINSKY
2� Virgo: A waning moon in a sky, half of which is clear and studded with stars, and half of which is covered with dark clouds which herald an approaching storm.
Denotes one of considerable ability who, as his life grows older, will be plunged into difficulties and trouble. It is well for one born in this degree to study his actions and to be scrupulously cautious as to his plans and movements. He should avoid speculative ventures, guard against deceit and treachery, and do all that is possible to lead an even, temperate life. It is a symbol of Threatenings.
LEINBACH
2 VIRGO:
This degree is characterized by extremely cold, logical mental
abilities. There is a strong inclination towards mathematics and
science. The degree comes close to providing a computer mind.
Even the native's emotional problems are fed into the computer.
S/he has little executive ability because s/he prefers to stay in the
background, laying out the facts but not trusting his/her ability to
add them up. Natives of this degree often work with food in some
capacity. They would do well with food chemistry or as a dietician
JANDUZ
"A man and a woman are seated on a rock in the middle of a desert."
Honest, stable, and serious character. One is endowed with a precise and mathematical thinking pattern, but one has a theoretical approach of life and does not pay enough attention to emotional factors. Success can be achieved in careers related to metaphysics, science, or the arts. However, because one often comes across as a cold person, followers may be scared off. There is also a tendency towards passivity and to stick to routine, which prevents to clearly defined the most important goals. Although resilience and patience are remarkable assets, stasis is the cause of bad luck.

Virgo 2° Interpretations
Isidore Kozminsky
Symbol: "A waning moon in a sky, half of which is clear and studded with stars, and half of which is covered with dark clouds which herald an approaching storm."
Meaning: "Denotes one of considerable ability who, as his life grows older, will be plunged into difficulties and trouble… avoid speculative ventures, guard against deceit and treachery… a symbol of Threatenings."
Explanation: A duality of clarity and chaos—early promise fades into stormy challenges. Ability is real but vulnerable to recklessness or betrayal, urging caution and temperance.
Themes: Ability, decline, caution, impending trouble.
Esther V. Leinbach
Symbol: None explicit.
Meaning: "Extremely cold, logical mental abilities… strong inclination towards mathematics and science… a computer mind… little executive ability… prefers to stay in the background… often work with food."
Explanation: A detached, analytical intellect—precise but uninspired by leadership or emotion. Practicality shines in food-related fields (e.g., chemistry, dietetics), but execution falters.
Themes: Logic, detachment, science, food, passivity.
Janduz
Symbol: "A man and a woman are seated on a rock in the middle of a desert."
Meaning: "Honest, stable, and serious character… precise and mathematical thinking… theoretical approach… success in metaphysics, science, or arts… coldness scares followers… passivity and routine cause bad luck."
Explanation: A steady, intellectual nature—logical but emotionally arid, thriving in abstract fields yet hindered by stasis and lack of warmth. Resilience exists, but luck slips without action.
Themes: Stability, intellect, coldness, stasis, potential.
Adriano Carelli (1°-2° Virgo)
Symbol: None explicit.
Meaning: "Great abstract intelligence, manifold versatility, methodical… gift for military and mathematical sciences… clumsy in carrying out… dry and cool nature… apathy or fatalistic indolence… atheist or agnostic… miserable roaming life unless corrected."
Explanation: Brilliant but impractical—strategic mind lacks execution without balance (e.g., Water/Fire). Coldness and skepticism dominate, risking aimless struggle.
Themes: Intellect, versatility, dryness, apathy, struggle.
Blain Bovee
Symbol: "A large white cross dominates the landscape."
Meaning: "A stark beacon rises… purity looms over all, a call to stand tall… asserts clarity—service aims high, risking stiffness for guidance."
Explanation: Elevated purpose—Virgo’s order seeks meaning, a guiding light amid toil, though rigidity looms.
Themes: Clarity, purpose, service, stiffness.

2� Virgo: A waning moon in a sky, half of which is clear and studded with stars, and half of which is covered with dark clouds which herald an approaching storm.
Denotes one of considerable ability who, as his life grows older, will be plunged into difficulties and trouble. It is well for one born in this degree to study his actions and to be scrupulously cautious as to his plans and movements. He should avoid speculative ventures, guard against deceit and treachery, and do all that is possible to lead an even, temperate life. It is a symbol of Threatenings.
LEINBACH
2 VIRGO:
This degree is characterized by extremely cold, logical mental
abilities. There is a strong inclination towards mathematics and
science. The degree comes close to providing a computer mind.
Even the native's emotional problems are fed into the computer.
S/he has little executive ability because s/he prefers to stay in the
background, laying out the facts but not trusting his/her ability to
add them up. Natives of this degree often work with food in some
capacity. They would do well with food chemistry or as a dietician
JANDUZ
"A man and a woman are seated on a rock in the middle of a desert."
Honest, stable, and serious character. One is endowed with a precise and mathematical thinking pattern, but one has a theoretical approach of life and does not pay enough attention to emotional factors. Success can be achieved in careers related to metaphysics, science, or the arts. However, because one often comes across as a cold person, followers may be scared off. There is also a tendency towards passivity and to stick to routine, which prevents to clearly defined the most important goals. Although resilience and patience are remarkable assets, stasis is the cause of bad luck.

Virgo 2° Interpretations
Isidore Kozminsky
Symbol: "A waning moon in a sky, half of which is clear and studded with stars, and half of which is covered with dark clouds which herald an approaching storm."
Meaning: "Denotes one of considerable ability who, as his life grows older, will be plunged into difficulties and trouble… avoid speculative ventures, guard against deceit and treachery… a symbol of Threatenings."
Explanation: A duality of clarity and chaos—early promise fades into stormy challenges. Ability is real but vulnerable to recklessness or betrayal, urging caution and temperance.
Themes: Ability, decline, caution, impending trouble.
Esther V. Leinbach
Symbol: None explicit.
Meaning: "Extremely cold, logical mental abilities… strong inclination towards mathematics and science… a computer mind… little executive ability… prefers to stay in the background… often work with food."
Explanation: A detached, analytical intellect—precise but uninspired by leadership or emotion. Practicality shines in food-related fields (e.g., chemistry, dietetics), but execution falters.
Themes: Logic, detachment, science, food, passivity.
Janduz
Symbol: "A man and a woman are seated on a rock in the middle of a desert."
Meaning: "Honest, stable, and serious character… precise and mathematical thinking… theoretical approach… success in metaphysics, science, or arts… coldness scares followers… passivity and routine cause bad luck."
Explanation: A steady, intellectual nature—logical but emotionally arid, thriving in abstract fields yet hindered by stasis and lack of warmth. Resilience exists, but luck slips without action.
Themes: Stability, intellect, coldness, stasis, potential.
Adriano Carelli (1°-2° Virgo)
Symbol: None explicit.
Meaning: "Great abstract intelligence, manifold versatility, methodical… gift for military and mathematical sciences… clumsy in carrying out… dry and cool nature… apathy or fatalistic indolence… atheist or agnostic… miserable roaming life unless corrected."
Explanation: Brilliant but impractical—strategic mind lacks execution without balance (e.g., Water/Fire). Coldness and skepticism dominate, risking aimless struggle.
Themes: Intellect, versatility, dryness, apathy, struggle.
Blain Bovee
Symbol: "A large white cross dominates the landscape."
Meaning: "A stark beacon rises… purity looms over all, a call to stand tall… asserts clarity—service aims high, risking stiffness for guidance."
Explanation: Elevated purpose—Virgo’s order seeks meaning, a guiding light amid toil, though rigidity looms.
Themes: Clarity, purpose, service, stiffness.
