What is unique or rare about the VM Zodiac signs?

[Koen G]

On a separate, but related topic, I did some research into why some of them are androgenous.

I don't recall where I read this, but wasn't this because the word "virgo" sounded male to non-native Latin speakers? May have been mere speculation.

Either way, VM Virgo is not the most unambiguously feminine character. The body appears female (if the pointy thing is a breast), but the hat and hair style are closer to those of male Gemini. One could say that the hair is done up because an older or married woman is meant, but would this not be against the spirit of Virgo?
