Virgo season: what it colors

For the ancients, Virgo held the ear of wheat and recalled Demeter, goddess of harvests, or Astraea, goddess of justice, who left to join the sky at the end of the golden age.

Tradition would rank the season among those of sorting, putting in order, and the return to routine: bringing back, tidying, learning. A vocabulary that fits the calendar of autumn tasks, and that remains a way of reading, not a constraint.

A reading of the sky to take as food for thought, not to be followed blindly: the dates are calculated, and what tradition associates with them is reported in the conditional, announcing nothing. Why?

The brightest star in the constellation, about 250 light-years away. By comparing its position with older records, Hipparchus concluded, in the 2nd century BCE, that the equinoxes shift slowly across the celestial sphere. The phenomenon, precession, completes a cycle in about 26,000 years.

What does tradition say about Virgo season?

It ties harvests, sorting, attention to detail, and organization to it, echoing the goddess Demeter and her ear of grain. On the calendar, it is the return to routine. All of this is reported in the conditional and dictates nothing about your own return to routine.
