Virgo. Computer artwork of the constellation of Virgo, the Virgin, with a red line showing its shape in the sky. Virgo is the sixth of the twelve constellations or signs of the Zodiac. The virgin is an old & astrologically important constellation associated with a mother goddess. She was Kanya, mother of Krishna, in India; Ishtar in Babylonia; Isis in Egypt. In Greece & Rome, she was Astreae, daughter of Zeus & Themis. The modern \virgin\" name may come from her identification with Mary by early Christians."
