Hello every body,can any one explain to me why the female birth name başak cannot be translated as virgin from the zodiacal sign of virgo maening 'maid', virgin?

Hi mate,

I think the guy who first translated zodiac names in Turkish made this thing up. Basak doesn't mean virgin. Since a lady with long hair figure is used for virgo, he might have thought lets call it basak which is a female name. I think calling it bakire (=virgin)would not be suitable at that time. (Even now I don't think they would call it that way )

Take care

lol I know, whoever first did it messed up majorly. What does Sagittarius have anything to do with "Yay/Bow" ? Just because its shown 'holding' one doesn't mean it should be called after the instrument. It really is a centaur in the pictures.
Erem,
