    “Jorge Luis Borges - Virgo Sun, Aries Moon, Cancer Rising Virgos are such smart, Mercurial creatures. Borges has the precision of a good Virgo writer. There’s no fluff. Yet he achieves something that is less understood about this sign which is the tension it holds with its sister sign, Pisces. Pisces is the great beyond, the dissolve, and Virgo often likes to dip a toe, even if just to prove their own control. Borges had a surreal imagination, but would sometimes present it as an academic essay with fake citations. Virgos are the magicians bringing the esoteric into form. As above, so below. .”
