Virgo is represented here by the symbol of a woman
holding an ear of wheat in one hand and a branch in the other.
Virgo means "The Woman With the Seed"
The brightest star, Spica, easily seen in the night sky
in the spring of the year, means "the branch".
It is within the ear of wheat (the seed) which she is holding
that connects the prophecies of the branch.
Genesis 3:15 relates to the seed of the woman
bruising the serpent while being bruised himself.
Thus connecting the seed of the woman and the prophecies
concerning the branch which is Jesus Christ.
In the head of Virgo, the star Zavijava is alluded to in Isaiah 4:2,
where it says that the branch of the Lord will be glorious and beautiful.
Zavijava's spiritual meaning is, "glorious and beautiful".
Moving from the head to the thigh, we come to the star Vindemiatrix,
meaning "the son who comes" or "the branch who comes".
Subilon, meaning "ear of wheat",
pictured here in her right hand is associated with John 12:24
where Christ referred to himself, which as the corn or wheat
would fall into the ground and die, in order to bring forth fruit.
We have considered just 4 stars in the sign of Virgo.
We can see that the virgin would have a son, would be called "the branch".
That He would appear in human form, the child of a virgin.
It is easy to see that we are beginning at the same point
in the stars as the gospel begins with the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Also, within each "sign", there are three other symbols called "decans".
In Virgo, those decans are Coma ("the desired"), Centaurus ("the despised")
and Bootes ("the coming shepherd").
If we had time to examine each one, we would see the prophecy of
Jesus' birth further amplified in greater detail.
I would again recommend Kenneth C. Fleming's book,
"God's Voice in the Stars" for additional study and clarification.
