HOROSCOPE COLLECTION | VIRGO
Presenting our next Horoscope Collection, VIRGO.
THE MOVEMENT OF THE HOROSCOPE COLLECTION IS ABOUT USING THE MODERN MEDIUM OF PHOTOGRAPHY TO TELL THE STORIES OF THE ORIGINAL MYTHOLOGIES. THE CONSTELLATIONS WERE STUDIED AND VIEWED AS MYTHOLOGICAL STORIES. DIFFERENT CULTURES, COUNTRIES, AND REGIONS HAD THEIR OWN DEPICTIONS AS WELL. GETTING TO LEARN ABOUT EACH ONE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RIVETING. WHILE EDUCATING MYSELF, I GOT TO LEARN HOW IN-DEPTH THESE ZODIACS REALLY ARE.
THE DEPICTION OF VIRGO. THE MAIDEN. WEARING WINGS, SHE HOLDS WHEAT WITH ONE HAND. THE GODDESS OF JUST AND MORAL.
VIRGO SYMBOLISM
Virgo is an earth sign historically represented by the goddess of wheat and agriculture
FOR MY PHOTOGRAPHY CHOICES, I DECIDED TO LEAN TOWARDS THE STORIES OF ASTAEA AND ERIGONE. I WANTED TO INCORPORATE THE GODDESS BEINGS AND PERSONALITY FOR VIRGO. PUSHING GENDER, PREFERRING MORE FEMME ENERGY. THE HOROSCOPE VIRGO COLOURS ARE AS BROWN AND GREEN. AN EARTH SIGN.
STORY OF VIRGO, THE GODDESS WAS FROM THE GOLDEN AGE. A TIME OF PEACE. THIS GODDESS IS OF PURITY, INNOCENCE, HOPE. AS THE AGES PASS, HUMAN KIND WORSENS. VIRGO IS THE LAST OF THE IMMORTALS ON EARTH. SHE WANTS ONLY TO HELP HUMANKIND EVEN IF THEY HAD ALREADY STOPPED PRAYING TO THE GODS. AS HUMANS ARE NO LONGER SAVEABLE. SHE CHOSE NOT TO GO TO OLYPUS WITH THE OTHER IMMORTALS (AS MANY WERE NOT AS PURE), NOR EARTH AND THIER IMPURITIES, SHE WENT TO THE HEAVENS. BECAME A CONSTELLATION. WAITING FOR EARTH TO ONE DAY RETURN TO THE GOLDEN AGE. PEACE.
The intertwining of Virgo and Libra! Often intertwined. The lady justice. Libra is that of a scale. A tool of unbiased, blind, justice. A tool used by Virgo. Virgo wanted to do what she could to help humans till she couldn’t no more. Libra on the other hand in the unwavering, justice. Right vs Wrong. Not wavering by emotion or attachment.

“Virgo is one of the twelve signs of the zodiac, associated with purity and innocence. In Greek mythology, Virgo is often represented by Astraea, the daughter of Zeus and Themis. As the goddess of Innocence, Virgo was said to have lived amongst us during the Golden Age of man. However, when humanity began to descend into wickedness and corruption, she fled from Earth for good. Her departure marked the end of Paradise on Earth. According to legend, it also signaled mankind's downfall - we were now destined to suffer through disease and sickness for all eternity. She was renamed Virgo, or "the virgin," because she never married and always remained pure.
But despite her associations with sickness and sadness, Virgo is also a symbol of hope and regeneration. After all, she is the daughter of Zeus, the king of the gods! This means that even in our darkest hours, we can always look to the heavens and take comfort in knowing that there is still some good left in this world.”
