Kanya (Virgo)
By The Astrologic Desk · Editorial and calculation review
Kanya (Virgo) spans 150° to 180° of the sidereal zodiac. It is a dual earth sign ruled by Mercury, symbolised by the Maiden. Mercury is uniquely both ruler and exalted here at 15°, and Venus is debilitated at 27°. Kanya emphasis reads as analytical and corrective: it notices the gap between how something is and how it should be.
