Framed Print of Virgo Constellation, Zodiac Sign, Hevelius, 1687
Virgo constellation from Johannes Hevelius Prodromus astronomiae, Firmamentum Sobiescianum, sive Uranographia, 1687. Virgo is one of the constellations of the zodiac. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations defined by the International Astronomical Union. The Greeks and Romans associated Virgo with their goddess of wheat/agriculture, Demeter-Ceres. Alternatively, she was sometimes identified as the virgin goddess Iustitia or Astraea, holding the scales of justice in her hand as the constellation Libra. Virgo is often portrayed carrying two sheaves of wheat. Virgo is the sixth astrological sign in the Zodiac. It spans the 150-180th degree of the zodiac, which the Tropical zodiac the Sun transits this area on average between August 23 to September 22 each year. The Hevelius Firmamentum was the first star atlas to rival Bayer's Uranometria in accuracy, utility, innovation, and influence. Hevelius was perhaps the most active observational astronomer of the last half of the 17th century. © New York Public Library / Science Source
