[Zodiac Rating] VIRGO
Koen G > 2 hours ago
Eggyk volunteered to take over managing the excel sheets for Zodiac imagery rating, which I am very grateful for.
As you may recall, we started off with Taurus: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Eggyk will also transfer this sheet into a new, standard layout.
So now, let's discuss which features should be tracked for Virgo. Here is the VM Virgo for reference:
Some initial ideas, all subject to change depending on your input and a trial run:- Headgear: how do we describe this hat? Should "wearing hat" and the type of hat be separate categories?
- Blue dress: the main color of the clothing is blue.
- Wide open sleeves at wrist/forearm level
- Dagged edges of wide sleeves (we can include lace finish here as well, anything that provides a wavy or jagged edge).
- Line at wrist level indicates undergarment with tighter sleeves (only if there is a wide-sleeved overgarment, this combination is the salient feature)
- double line at the neck?
- short hair style?
- holding flower? Instances where she holds a star deserve special attention, but holding a flower seems like the most common approximation. The thing that she's holding could even be taken as a flower.
- Standing on outdoor terrain (I wouldn't specify too much here)
- Something about the width of the dress at the bottom? How to best describe this? Her dress flares up behind her to shoulder level. Is this due to the circular arrangement? This may become clear after a trial run.
- Facing left
- Both hands extended forwards? Not sure if this may be useful.
Things to ignore:- I have always interpreted her as standing, but some think she's sitting, so the overall pose may be ambiguous, I wouldn't include this.
- Her pose does not allow us to see whether the garment is belted.
Please let me know if I missed anything important, or if you would omit or change anything. - Headgear: how do we describe this hat? Should "wearing hat" and the type of hat be separate categories?

For some of these, it may be valuable to have a slightly broad category, and then make use of the "blue" rating in order to seperate out the best ones.
For example, you could have "is holding something in right hand" as a score of 1, but instances with a noticeable match like 'holding a star' can be given a score above 1 (any score above 1 will mark them automatically as blue, making them easier to find and sort).
That way we can really contrast and track the differences at a glance:
not holding anything - kinda holding something - holding something - holding exact thing we want
not wearing hat - kinda wearing a hat - wearing a hat - wearing notable/voynichy hat
not depicted with/near flowers - depicted kinda with/near flowers - depicted with/near flowers - depicted with/next to perfect match of vms flower
More specific/clear cut ones are of course different. You can't be notably facing to the left

That would certainly be more compact. The same can be done for extra lines at neck, wrist or both to show undergarment or collar. -

One of my many unfinished projects was to write a You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. But I am still stuck at less than halfway, and I already found out that a lot the stuff there was incorrect.
It turned out that creating that description was much more informative than reading it -- because it forced me to systematically look at every detail of every page.
Still, maybe you find something useful in there. Like the tables with nymph attributes.
All the best, --stolfi -

This old thread has some Virgo-related postings.

Post #18 has a good *blue* Virgo pictured and a source. She is facing to the right. VMs is going to the left. Unless you want to use the heraldic perspective. Directional orientation is somewhat problematic. It seems like a clear choice, but even heraldry gets reversed on occasion.
I'm not sure that "kinda" isn't sort of a false category. - She is not holding anything. She is holding something. There is no "kinda". Is it a star or a flower - or a pass on the palm fronds?
Also, a thread regarding the hat.
