Folklore: Crows are often associated with memory and cleverness in folklore and myth from several continents. In Norse mythology, Odin is accompanied by two crows named Huginn and Muninn, whose names mean “Thought and
Memory.” Many Native American traditions include the Raven as a “Trickster God” who is often outsmarting
others.

Zoology: Scientific studies have backed the crow’s reputation as a clever animal. Crows are smart enough to build tools and can remember a person’s face for over five years.

Geometry: The majority of Virgo occurs during the ninth month of September, so it contains a nine-pointed star made up of three triangles.
