Virgo was heavily associated with the goddess of wheat because people only cared about autumn harvests

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

The 'virgin' symbolism is actually a massive mistranslation of agricultural desperation. Virgo was originally linked to Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, because the constellation rose right before the vital autumn harvest. The focus wasn't on purity; it was entirely on whether or not the ancients were going to starve to death before winter.
