Planetary Motivations (Virgo)

[John Erwin]
What makes Virgo precise?
Mercury is the planet of the mind
It rules the intellectual needs
Calculation, dimension, shape, and tone
Also the need to analyze, to weigh, and to measure
So the Virgin is motivated by a self-conscious desire to be effectively knowing, and quietly efficient
It allows for few errors in judgment or performance

[Nancy Priddy]
What makes Virgo discriminating?
Mercury also rules the ability to compare
And rules the intestines which select and reject that which has, or has not value for the organism
The result being a native that has the critical eye
And can separate and categorize

[Michael Bell]
What makes Virgo industrious?
The electric Mercury governs the quality of ability
And in the Virgin's every nerve the want to be able is strongly featured
And the fear of self-compromise drives the native constantly towards accomplishment
And perfection

[John Erwin]
What makes Virgo?
Method
Mercury is scientific
And Mercury rules Virgo
