Zeus
punished Prometheus, a Titan, for giving mankind
the gift of fire. Then, fire was believed to be
exclusively for the Gods. Thus Zeus was very angry
that the lowly mortals shared the gift with the
Gods and decided to punish mankind as well. He
sent the first woman Pandora to Earth and cautioned
her against opening a box which Zeus entrusted
to her. Pandora's curiosity got the better of
her so she disobeyed Zeus' warnings and opened
the box. There, she unleashed the elements of
evil onto Earth like Greed and Spite. However,
despite this, Pandora also released something
else as well - Hope.
Modest and shy Virgo can be a meticulous and intelligent
worker. A cleanliness and hygiene freak, the Virgin
can be rather fussy and too much of a perfectionist.
She is cheerful and patient though your first
impression of her might not be so. Conventional
and conservative, Virgo is very sensible though
she is a worrier most of the time.
Virgo can be cunning and hypocritical. Although
they seldom get angry easily, they seldom forgive
easily as well. Some may even say that Virgo is
snobbish and selfish and even too harsh. Overcritical
as she may be, Virgo cannot take criticisms of
herself as she has a very sensitive nature and
gets hurt easily.
