Kanya (Virgo)

Kanya (Virgo) rising

With Kanya rising you are tall and slender, with dark hair and eyes, curved brows, a straight nose and a quick walk, and you look younger than your age. Budh (Mercury) rules your lagna and is exalted in it: you are practical, methodical, discriminating and thorough, with a natural commercial sense and a sharp eye for faults, a born inspector, auditor or analyst. You keep accounts and papers in perfect order, save quietly, check everything twice, and explain in more detail than anyone asked for. Change of place and of work comes often, and you rise to the top by talent and hard work rather than luck. Your lessons are to criticise less, trust yourself more, finish one thing before the next, and consult one good adviser instead of everyone.

The Moon in Kanya (Virgo)

Chandra in Kanya gives a careful, analytical and practical mind that wants things in order: you notice what others miss, plan well and like to be useful. The same mind worries, criticises and can talk itself into small ailments; routine, useful work and a little self-praise keep it calm.

The Sun in Kanya (Virgo)

Surya in Kanya: the self works through service, skill and precision; you earn standing by competence, and medicine, accounts or engineering suit your ambition.
