Zodiac sign of VIRGO in a 16th century manuscript

The zodiac sign of VIRGO is associated with the month of August. In the medieval iconographic compositions it is often represented by a single woman. She is usually presented standing in a landscape, although in some cases she is shown seated or indoors. Usually she holds either a palm or a sheaf and therefore associated to agriculture. In some representations she has flowers in her hand. In the modern horoscope the zodiac sign of VIRGO covers the period from about 23 August until 22 September.
