The History of Astrology

Astraea

Origin: Greek - Meaning: Star

Astraea was the Greek goddess of innocence and justice. The celestial virgin was one of the last mortals to live among humans. As a result of the destruction of humanity, Astraea fled from earth and ascended to heaven to become the constellation Virgo. With similar star names Astra and Stella on the rise, Astraea would make an unexpected alternative.

Mercury

Origin: Latin, Roman - Meaning: Messenger of the Gods

The ruling planet of this zodiac sign is Mercury. From Mars to newly named Jupiter, planet names are very on trend this year. Queen fans will melt over this name as it was the chosen surname of the late lead signer. Famous Virgo Freddie Mercury is our favorite astrological option. It makes me wonder if Freddie’s zodiac sign had a great influence on his name. His name and his zodiac certainly fit Freddie Mercury to a T.

Wednesday

Origin: English - Meaning: Woden’s Day

This day of the week has become a fall favorite thanks to the Addams Family. This series originally debuted on September 18, 1964 in the midst of Virgo season. Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint chose this quirky name for his daughter born last year.

Zaniah

Origin: Arabic - Meaning: Corner

Zaniah has a deep astrological significance. Zaniah is the fixed triple star system on the upper left arm of the Maiden Virgo constellation.

Famous Virgos

Alecia

Origin: - German - Meaning: Noble Natured

Professionally known as P!nk, singer-songwriter Alecia Beth Moore was born under the Virgo zodiac on September 8, 1979. P!nk stated in an interview during the 2019 CMA awards the spelling of her name “was a mistake on the birth certificate, so they (her parents) kept it”. The name is traditionally spelt with an ‘I’ rather than an ‘E’. While she appreciates the spelling mishap she mentioned she doesn’t like the rhyming introduction of, “Hi, I’m Alecia, nice to meet ya”. While I personally think the rhyme makes someone even more memorable.

Idris

Origin: Arabic, Welsh - Meaning: Lord, Studious

Virgos are known to be thinkers, educators, and humanitarians. They can be found deep in a book gaining knowledge to make the world a better place. Actor Idris Elba was also born under the Virgo zodiac on September 6, 1972.

History Highlight

Augustine

Origin: Latin - Meaning: Great Magnificent

Augustine is the perfect choice for a baby born in the center of this season. Birth month August takes on the beginning portion of the Virgo zodiac, making Latin variation Augustine a regal possibility. Yet, Augustine is also a nod to the month of September. How so? The city of St. Augustine, Florida was founded on September 8, 1565. The city got it’s name when Spanish soldier Pedro Menendez de Aviles originally spotted the colonial site on August 28th, the feast day of St. Augustine, ten days prior.

Augustine’s meaning of “Magnificent” also plays a role in a Virgos need for perfectionism. August, Augustine, Austin or even it’s anagram Sunita (meaning ‘wise character’) would all be ideal options for your little Virgo.
